Lesson details
Units 1 & 2 (Introductory Anti-Differentiation)
Lay foundational understanding of anti-differentiation as the reverse process of differentiation. Focus on finding basic antiderivatives of polynomial functions, interpreting integration as area under curves, and applying these to simple motion and accumulation contexts.
Unit 2: Anti-Differentiation Basics and Applications
2.1 Introduction to Anti-Differentiation
Concept: finding original functions from their derivatives
Notation: antiderivative symbol ∫f(x)dx
General Solution Form: includes constant of integration (+C)
Basic Rules: ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹⁄(n+1) + C (for n ≠ –1)
2.2 Indefinite Integrals of Polynomials
Finding antiderivatives of linear and quadratic functions
Simple composite functions: ∫(ax + b)ⁿ dx via inspection
Checking by differentiation
2.3 Introduction to Definite Integrals
Concept of area under a curve from x = a to x = b
Evaluating ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx using antiderivatives
Geometric Interpretation: area accumulation (positive/negative regions)
2.4 Applications of Integration
Motion Contexts: finding displacement from velocity
Accumulation Problems: total distance, cost, or quantity over time
Use of technology (e.g. CAS calculator) for evaluating integrals
