f(x)dx = [F(x)] or f(x)dx = F(b) −F(a) ∫ ∫ is called the definite integral of f(x) within limits a and b. The interval
[a, b] is called the range of integration. Every definite integral has a unique solution.
Note:

The following method is used to solve the questions on summation of series.
(i) After writing (r – 1)th or rth term of the series, express it in the form

If there exists a finite limit on the right-hand side of (i), then the improper integral is said to be convergent;
otherwise it is divergent.
Geometrically, the improper integral (i) for f(x) > 0, is the area of the figure bounded by the graph of the function
y = f(x), the straight line x = a, and the x-axis. Similarly, we can define

8. GEOMETRICAL APPLICATION
The area of the figure bounded by the graphs of two continuous functions y = f 1 (x) and
y = f (x) 2
y = f (x) 1

y = f 2 (x), f 1 (x) ≤ f 2 (x), and two straight lines x= a and x = b is determined by the formula

S = (f (x) −f (x))dx ∫
. It is sometimes convenient to use formulae analogous to x.with
respect to y, i.e., regarding x as a function of y. In particular, the area bounded by the curve
x =f(y), the y-axis and the two abscissae y = c and y = d is given by
d
c
f ∫ (y)dy. The area of
the figure bounded by the graphs of two continuous functions x = f 1 (y) and f 2 (y) (with f 1 (y)
≤ f 2 (y)), and the two straight lines y = c, y = d is given by

From the view of geometry we get an important inequality as if m ≤ f(x) ≤ M for a ≤ x ≤ b, then m(b – a) ≤
