Unit 8: Applications of Integration
s(t) = ∫v(t)dt\int v(t)dt∫v(t)dt
v(t) = ∫a(t)dt\int a(t)dt∫a(t)dt
Net Change Vs. Total Change
- Net change: (signed)
- Total distance: (always positive)
Interpretation Of
Interpretation of ∫∣v(t)∣dt\int |v(t)|dt∫∣v(t)∣dt
Gives total distance traveled, regardless of direction.
Area =
Area = ∫ab\int_a^b∫ab (top - bottom) dx
where f(x) ≥ g(x) on [a, b].
Area =
Area = ∫cd\int_c^d∫cd (right - left) dy
Splitting The Interval
Divide at intersection points, apply formula on each subinterval.
Multiple Integrals
Volume = , Where Is Area Of Cross-section
Volume = ∫ab\int_a^b∫ab A(x) dx, where A(x) is area of cross-section
For square cross-sections: where s(x) is side length.
Area Formulas For Triangles And Semicircles
- Triangle:
- Semicircle:
Disc Method: Or
Disc Method: π∫ab[R(x)]2dx\pi \int_a^b [R(x)]^2 dxπ∫ab[R(x)]2dx or π∫cd[R(y)]2dy\pi \int_c^d [R(y)]^2 dyπ∫cd[R(y)]2dy
R(x) = radius (distance from curve to axis of rotation).
Adjusting Radius Expression
When rotating around line other than x- or y-axis, adjust radius accordingly.
Washer Method:
Washer Method: π∫ab([R(x)]2−[r(x)]2)dx\pi \int_a^b ([R(x)]^2 - [r(x)]^2) dxπ∫ab([R(x)]2−[r(x)]2)dx
R(x) = outer radius, r(x) = inner radius.
Adjusting Outer And Inner Radius Expressions
Account for distance from rotation axis.
