How to calculate a definite integral over an interval?
To perform an integral calculation, first, calculate the corresponding primitive function.
Consider a function \( f(x) \) to be integrated over \( [a;b] \) and \( F(x) \) the primitive of \( f(x) \). Then $$ \int^b_a f(x) \mathrm{ dx} = F(b)-F(a) $$
Example: Integrate \( f(x) = x \) over the interval \( [0;1] \). Calculate its primitive \( F(x) = \frac{1}{2} x^2 \) and so integral $$ \int^1_0 f(x) \mathrm {dx} = F(1) - F(0) = \frac{1}{2} $$
Enter the function, its lower and upper bounds and the variable to integrate, dCode will make the computation.
