Section 5.1 – Antidifferentiation: The Indefinite Integral

Antidifferentiation

If F(x) is a function, and F ‘(x) = f(x), then F(x) is the antiderivative (or indefinite integral) of f(x)

Let’s Play: If , then what might F(x) =

FAMILY of Antiderivatives

Fundamental Property of Antiderivatives

If F(x) is an antiderivative of the continuous function f(x), then any other antiderivative of

f(x) has the form G(x) =F(x) +C

Indefinite Integral of f(x)

Terminology

integrand symbol f(x) - Integrand

C – constant of Integration x – Variable of integration

Let’s try some using “Guess & Check”

Differential Equation

Solve the given initial value problem for y = f(x)

#32 where y = 3 when x = 0

The slope f ‘ (x) at each point (x,y) on a curve y = f(x) is given along with a particular point (a,b) on the curve. Use this information to find f(x).

#46 SALES

The monthly sales at an import store are currently $10,000 but are expected to be declining at the rate of

dollars per month t months from now. The store if profitable as long as the sales level is above $8,000 per month.

a) Find a formula for the expected sales in t months.

b) What sales figure should be expected 2 years from now?

c) For how many months will the store remain profitable?

#60 CANCER THERAPY

A new medical procedure is applied to a cancerous tumor with volume 30 cm³, and It days later the volume is found to be changing at the rate

a) Find a formula for the volume of the tumor after t days.

b) What is the volume after 60 days? After 120 days?

c) For the procedure to be successful, it should take no longer than 90 days for the tumor to begin to shrink. Based on this criterion, does the procedure succeed?
