2.1 Integration of gradient functions
In the previous chapter, we have learnt the method of finding the gradient of tangent functions by
using differentiation. Now we will learn on how to find the function by using the reverse method
which is by using the integration.
Example 24:
Given that the gradient function 42 += xdx
dy intercepts the y -axis at 2. Find the function of y .
Solution:
Given that
42 += xdx
dy
So,
dx xdxdx

c x x ++= 42
The function intercepts the y -axis at 2. Therefore,

∴ 242++= x x y
2.4.3 Kinematics problems
Kinematics is a portion of physics concerned with motion in the abstract, such as of points or
space figures, and separated from its dynamic properties. This section is intended for students
who have already learned a few physics concepts in kinematics and dynamics.

When the velocity of a moving body changes with time, we say that the body has
acceleration. Just as velocity describes the rate of change of position with time, acceleration
describes the rate of change of velocity with time.

iii. Work done by a variable force(W)
It turns out that the work-energy theorem translates directly into the case of variable force.
In this case, however, we must be careful with the calculus since it requires a simple
integral.
Consider an x-component of force F x( x) that varies as a function of position along the x-
axis of a 1D trajectory in a non-trivial way, as indicated in the following figure stolen from

2.4.4 Area under a curve and area between two curves
Introduction
One of the important applications of integration is finding the area bounded by a curve.
Often such an area can have a physical significance like the work done by a motor, or the
distance traveled by a vehicle. In this section we explain how such an area is calculated.
1. Calculating the Area under a Curve
Let us denote the area under y = f(x) between a fixed point a and a variable point x by
A(x):

Mohd Nasir Mahmud@MICET Page 5 of 18 Wednesday, January 25, 2006
It is clearly a function of x since as the upper limit changes, so does the area. How does
the area change if we change the upper limit by a very small amount xδ ? See the figure
below.
To a good approximation the change in the area ( ) ( ) x A x x A −+δ
is:
( ) ( ) ( ) x x f x A x x A δ δ ≈−+
an approximation which gets better and better as xδ gets smaller and smaller, and so:
( ) ( ) ( )
x
x A x x A x f
δ
δ −+≈
Clearly, in the limit as 0→ xδ we have
( )
( ) ( )
x
x A x x A
x f x δ
δ
δ
−+
= →0lim
But this limit on the right-hand side is the derivative of A(x) with respect to x, so
( )dx
dA x f =
Thus A(x) is an indefinite integral of f(x) and we can therefore write:
( ) ( )dx x f x A ∫=
Now the area under the curve from a to b is clearly A(b)−A(a). But remembering our
shorthand notation for this differences, introduced in the last block we have, finally

We conclude that the area under the curve y = f(x) from a to b is given by the definite
integral of f(x) from a to b .
2. The Area Bounded by a Curve Lying Above the x-axis
Consider the graph of the function y = f ( x) shown in the figure below. Suppose we are
interested in calculating the area underneath the graph and above the x-axis, between the
points where x = a and x = b. When such an area lies entirely above the x-axis, as is
clearly the case here,
this area is given by the definite integral ( )∫b
adx x f .
The area under the curve y = f ( x), between x = a and x = b is given by ( )∫b
adx x f when
the curve lies entirely above the x-axis between a and b.
Example 26:
Calculate the area bounded x

The evaluation of the area yields a negative quantity. There is no such thing as a negative
area. The area is actually 4/3 , and the negative sign is an indication that the area lies
below the x-axis. If an area contains parts both above and below the horizontal axis, care
must be taken when trying to calculate this area. It is necessary to determine which parts
of the graph lie above the horizontal axis and which lie below. Separate integrals need to
be calculated for each ‘piece’ of the graph. This idea is illustrated in the next example.
Example 29:
Find the total area enclosed by the curve y = x3 − 5x
2 + 4x and the x-axis
between x = 0 and x = 3.
Solution:
We need to determine which parts of the graph, if any, lie above and which lie below the
x-axis. To do this it is helpful to consider where the graph cuts the x-axis. So we consider
the function x3 − 5x
2 + 4x and look for its zeros
x3 − 5x
2 + 4x = x(x
2 − 5x + 4)
= x(x − 1)(x − 4)
So the graph cuts the x-axis when x = 0, x = 1 and x = 4. Also, when x is large and
positive, y is large and positive since the term involving x3 dominates. When x is large
and negative, y is large and negative for the same reason. With this information we can
sketch a graph showing
the required area. If you have access to a graphics calculator or computer package this is
a trivial matter. The graph is shown below.
From the graph we see that the required area lies partly above the x-axis (when 0 ≤ x ≤ 1)
and partly below (when 1 ≤ x ≤ 3). So we evaluate the integral in two parts:

Solution:
To find the shaded area we could calculate the area under the graph of y = sin x for x
between 0 and π 41 , and subtract this from the area under the graph of y = cos x between
the same limits. Alternatively the two processes can be combined into one and we can
write

of strip yδ is
