Integration as Reverse Process of Differentiation -

Integration is the reverse process of differentiation. In integration, we find the function whose differential coefficient is given. 

For example,

\\\mathrm{\frac{d}{dx}(\sin x)=\cos x}\\\\\mathrm{\frac{d}{dx}\left ( x^2 \right )=2x}\\\\\mathrm{\frac{d}{dx}\left ( e^x \right )=e^x}

In the above example,  the function cos x is the derived function of sin x. We say that sin x is an anti derivative (or an integral) of cos x. Similarly, x2 and ex  are the anti derivatives (or integrals) of 2x and ex respectively.  

Also note that the derivative of a constant  (C) is zero. So we can write the above examples as:

\\\mathrm{\frac{d}{dx}(\sin x+c)=\cos x}\\\\\mathrm{\frac{d}{dx}\left ( x^2+c \right )=2x}\\\\\mathrm{\frac{d}{dx}\left ( e^x +c\right )=e^x}

 

Thus, anti derivatives (or integrals) of the above functions are not unique. Actually, there exist infinitely many anti derivatives of each of these functions which can be obtained by selecting C arbitrarily from the set of real numbers. 

For this reason C is referred to as arbitrary constant. In fact, C is the parameter by varying which one gets different anti derivatives (or integrals) of the given function. 

 

If the function F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x), then the expression F(x) + C is the indefinite integral of the function f(x) and is denoted by the symbol ∫ f(x) dx. 

By definition,

\\\mathrm{\int f(x)dx=F(x)+c,\;\;\;where\;\;F'(x)=f(x)\;\;and\;\;'c' \;is\;constant.}

Maxima and Minima of a Function -

Maxima and Minima of a Function

Let y = f(x) be a real function defined at x = a. Then the function f(x) is said to have a maximum value at x = a, if f(x) ≤ f(a)  ∀ a ≥∈ R.

And also the function f(x) is said to have a minimum value at x = a, if f(x) ≥ f(a)  ∀ a ∈ R

   

Concept of Local Maxima and Local Minima 

The function f(x) is said to have a maximum (or we say that f(x) attains a maximum) at a point ‘a’ if the value of f(x) at ‘a’  is greater than its values for all x in a small neighborhood of ‘a’ .

In other words, f(x) has a maximum at x = ‘a’, if f(a + h) ≤ f(a) and f(a - h) ≤ f(a), where h ≥ 0 (very small quantity).

The function f(x) is said to have a minimum (or we say that f(x) attains a minimum) at a point ‘b’ if the value of f(x) at ‘b’  is less than its values for all x in a small neighborhood of ‘b’ .

In other words, f(x) has a maximum at x = ‘b’, if f(a + h) ≥ f(a) and f(a - h) ≥ f(a), where h ≥ 0 (very small quantity).
