Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Q: How can we find the area under any curve?
For example, let’s try to find the area under
𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 3 − 9𝑥 2 + 25𝑥 − 19
2
What is
the area
of this?
3
1 rectangle
4
2 rectangles
5
4 rectangles
6
50 rectangles
7
If the left sides of our rectangles are at 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 , …, 𝑥𝑛
and each rectangle has width Δ𝑥,
then the areas of the rectangles are
𝑓 𝑥1 Δ𝑥, 𝑓 𝑥2 Δ𝑥, …, 𝑓 𝑥𝑛 Δ𝑥.
So, the sum of the areas of the rectangles (called a
Riemann sum) is:
𝑓 𝑥1 Δ𝑥 + 𝑓 𝑥2 Δ𝑥 + ⋯ + 𝑓 𝑥𝑛 Δ𝑥
= 𝑓 𝑥1 + 𝑓 𝑥2 + ⋯ + 𝑓 𝑥𝑛 Δ𝑥
8
So, the sum of the areas of the rectangles (called a
Riemann sum) is:
𝑓 𝑥1 Δ𝑥 + 𝑓 𝑥2 Δ𝑥 + ⋯ + 𝑓 𝑥𝑛 Δ𝑥
= 𝑓 𝑥1 + 𝑓 𝑥2 + ⋯ + 𝑓 𝑥𝑛 Δ𝑥
9
So, the sum of the areas of the rectangles (called a
Riemann sum) is:
𝑓 𝑥1 Δ𝑥 + 𝑓 𝑥2 Δ𝑥 + ⋯ + 𝑓 𝑥𝑛 Δ𝑥
= 𝑓 𝑥1 + 𝑓 𝑥2 + ⋯ + 𝑓 𝑥𝑛 Δ𝑥
10
As the number of rectangles (𝑛) increases, the
above sum gets closer to the true area.
That is,
Area under curve =

The above integral is called a definite integral, and 𝑎
and 𝑏 are called the lower and upper limits of
integration.

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
If 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous on the interval 𝑎 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝑏,
then
𝒃
𝒇 𝒙 𝒅𝒙 = 𝑭 𝒃 − 𝑭(𝒂)
𝒂
where 𝐹(𝑥) is any antiderivative of 𝑓(𝑥) on 𝑎 ≤
𝑥 ≤ 𝑏.

separately, and constants can be pulled out.

Net Change
If we have 𝑄′(𝑥), then we can calculate the net
change in 𝑄(𝑥) as 𝑥 goes from 𝑎 to 𝑏 with an
integral:

Net Change

Suppose marginal cost is 𝐶 ′ 𝑥 = 3 𝑥 − 4 2
dollars per unit when the level of production is 𝑥
units. By how much will the total manufacturing
cost increase if the level of production is raised
from 6 units to 10 units?
