Integrals and Area Under the Curve
Definition of Integral
The integral is a fundamental concept in calculus that represents the area under a curve on a graph of a function. It is used to calculate accumulated quantities, such as area, volume, and total change.
Indefinite Integral: Represents a family of functions and is written as .
Definite Integral: Represents the area under the curve between two points and , written as .
