# Integration by Parts

Integration by Parts If u and v be two functions of x, then the integral of product of these two functions is given by . In applying the above rule care has to be taken in the selection of the first function (u) and the second function (v) depending on which function can be integrated easily.

# Indefinite Integration – Direct Subtitution

Indefinite Integration – Direct Subtitution Definition: If f(x) and g(x) are two functions such that f'(x) = g(x) then f(x) is called antiderivative or primitive of g(x) with respect to x Note1: If f(x) is an antiderivative of g(x) then f(x)+c is also an antiderivative of g(x) for all c ϵ wR If F(x) is an Read more about Indefinite Integration – Direct Subtitution[…]

# MAXIMA AND MINIMA PROBLEMS

MAXIMA AND MINIMA PROBLEMS 1. Without using the derivative, show that f(x) = (½)x is strictly decreasing on R. Solution: Given that f(x) = (½)x Let x₁, x₂ ϵ R Let x₁ < x₂ ⇒ (½)x₁ > (½)x₂ ⇒ f(x₁) > f(x₂). ∴ f is strictly decreasing on R. 2. Without using the derivative, show Read more about MAXIMA AND MINIMA PROBLEMS[…]

# Global Maxima or Minima

Global Maxima or Minima Global Maxima or Minima in [a, b]: Global maxima or minima of f(x) in [a, b] is basically the greatest or least value of f(x) in [a, b]. Mathematically, it is written as: The function f(x) has a global maximum at the point ‘a’ in the interval I if f (a) ≥ Read more about Global Maxima or Minima[…]
