Introduction to Integration

Integration can be used to find areas, volumes, central points, and many useful things.

The shortcut is finding the integral, which is the reverse of finding the derivative.

The formula is Area of triangle = 1/2(base)(height) = 1/2(x)(2x) = x^2.

<p>After the Integral Symbol, we put the function we want to find the integral of (called the Integrand), and then finish with dx to mean the slices go in the x direction (and approach zero in width).</p> Signup and view all the answers
