DEFINITE INTEGRALS

6.1. Thus far we have defined integration as the inverse of dif-


ferentiation. Now, we shall define integration as a process of summa-
tion. In fact, the integral calculus was invented in the attempt to
calculate the area bounded by curves by supposing the given area
to be divided into an infinite number of infinitesimal parts called
elements, the sum of all these elements being the area required. His-
torically the integral sign is merely the elongated S used by early
writers to denote the sum.
This new definition, as explained in the next article, is of fun-
damental importance, because it is used in most of the applications
of the integral calculus to practical problems.
6.2. Integration as the limit of a sum.
The generalized definition is given in Note 2 below. We first
start with a special case of that definition which is advantageous
for application in most cases.
• Letf( x) be a bounded single-valued continuous function defined
in the interval (a, b ),a and b being both finite quantities and b >a;
and let the interval (a, b) be divided into n equal sub-intervals,
each of length h, by the points
a+h,a+Th,...,a+(n-flh,so that nhb_a;
then Lt hlf(a)+f(a+h)+f(a+2b)+...+ f(a+ih))

i.e., shortlyk Lt 0 h f( a + rh), ( nh = b - a),

the limits a and b, and is denoted by the symbol

where 'a' is called the lower or inferior limit, and 'b' is called the
upper or superior limit.

these definitions differ from one another only In the Inclusion OT exclusion
of the terms hf( a) and hf( a + ih ) ,i.e. ,hf( b) which ultimately vanish.
It should be carefully noted that whichever of these slightly different
forms of the definition we u,., we always arrive at the same result. Some-
times, for the sake of simplicity, we use one or the other of these definitions.

Note 2. The above definition of a definite integral is a special case of
the more generalized definition as given below.
Let f(x) be a bounded function defined In the interval (a, b) ; indict
the Interval (a, 1') be divided in any manner into it sub-Intervals (equal or
unequal) of lengths & , 82 ........ . 6. In eachsub-interval choose a per-
fectly arbitrary point (which may be within or at either end-point of the in-
;.rvaI :and let these points hex C..

Now, let n increase indefinitely in such a way that the greatest of the
lengths 6 , . ...... ,, tends to zero. If, in this case, Sri tends to a definite
limit which Is independent of the way in which he interval (a, b) is sub-divided
and the intermediate points C, , C, ....... are chosen, then this limit, when it
exists, Is called the definite integral of f( x ) from a to b.
It can be shown that, when f(x) is a continuous function, the above limit
always exists.
In the present volume, however, In Art. 6.4 we prove that if, in addition
to /(x) being continuous in the interval, there exists a function of which It
Is the differential coefficient then the above limit exists.
In the definition of the Article above, for the sake of simplicity, f ( x) is
taken to be a continuous function, the Intervals are taken to be of equal
lengths, and , ,.... ( are taken as the end-points of the successive
sub-intervals.
The method of unequal sub-divisions of the Interval Is illustrated
in Ex. 5 below.

6.4. kefinition of definite i utegral based on the notion of
boun
We h ye i wo methods of refining definite integrals: one based
on the notion of limits, the 1.er based on the notion of bounds.
The first method based he not-cm of limits is given in Note
2, Art. 6.2.
The second method based on tLe notion of bounds Is given
below.
Let the interval (a , b) be divided in any manner into a num-
ber ( say n ) of sub-intervals by takiig interme-diate points
a=Xx1<x2...
Let M, and m be the upper anc2 lower bounds of f( x) in the
r-th sub-interval (x, -' ,x. ) and let 5, denote the length of this
sub-interval. The lower bound (denoted by J ) of the aggregate of
INTEGRAL CALCULUS

the sums S = EM, 6. (obtained by considering all possible modes


of sub-division) is called the Upper Integral and is denoted by

I f(x)dx,
and the upper bound (denoted by j ) of the aggregate of the sums
s = Em, 6, Is Zalled the Lower Integral and is denoted by
IF

5
When the lower and upper integrals are equal, i.e., when j =
then f( x) is said to be integrable and the common value is said to
be the integral of f( x) in (a , b ) and is denoted by

Lbf(

It can be shown by what is known as Parboux's theorem that


both the definitions are equivalent when / (
x ) is integrable.
Note. The Integral defined above, when it exists, is called a Rlemann
integral, as it was first obtained by the great mathematician Rlernann.

We give below, without proof, the necessary and sufficient con
dWon fo. the integrability of a bounded function f( x

If there be at least one pair of sums S , s of f ( x ) for a sub-


division of the interval ( a, h ) su. that
S - 5 < £,
wherec is any arbitrarily small positive number, then f(x) is in-
tegrable.
Note. It can be easily shown that the sum or difference of two or more
functions integrable in (a, b) is also Integrable in (ES, a).
6.6. Integrable functions.
(i) Functions continuous in a closed interval ( a , b ) are in-
tegrable in that interval.

tion • ( x) such that 4'(x) = f(x)in(a,b), then
L.
f(x)dx = (b) -
Ja
Divide the interval (a, b ) into n parts by taking intcrrnedito
points

Then we have, by the Mean Value Theorem of L'iI(crcntiaj Cal-

to differentiation. This also establishes the existence of the limit of the sum
referred to In Art. 6.2, Note 2.
Note 2. From the above theorem it Is clear that the definite integral is a
function of its upier and low limits and not of the Independent variable x.
Note 3. It should be noted that U the upper limit is the Independent
variable, the lategra! I. not a definite Integral but Pimply another form of
the Indefinite Integral. Thus, suppose If(s) dx • (r); then

5f(x)dx =$(x) -( a ) (x) + aconjtant Jf(x)dx.


6.13. Evaluation of the Definite Integral.
By the help of the above theorem, the value of a definite integral
can be obtained much more easily than by the tedious process of
summation. The success in the evaluation of a definite integral by
this method minly depends upon the success In the evaluation of
the corresponding indefinite integral, as will be seen from me fol-
lowing illustrative examples. The application of the above theorem
In the evaluation of the definite Integra' is very simple.

Suppose we require to evaluate J f ( x ) dx.


First evaluate the indefinite integral Jf(x) dx by the usual methods,
and suppose the result is (x).
Next substitute for x in ( x ) first the up per limit and then the
lower limit, and subtract the last result from the first.

Thus, 5 1 t)dx = $(b) -

Now, 0 (b) -, (a) Is very often shortly written as 10 wl


It should be carefully noted that in a definite integral She arbitrary
constant of integration does not appear.
For, If we write if( x)Jx - •(x) + c - (z), say,
Iniegral GaICL11US (main) - io
114 INTEGRAl. CALCUL.US1

theJf( x)dx W(b) a) (0(b) +c) — (a) + C

= $(b) —
Thus, while evaluating a definite integral, arbitrary constant ,tad
not be added in the value of She cir?ur• lig indefinite integral.

(Iii) in qtAbstituting the litufta in the Inverse functions, C&C should be
taken to choose the right values of the expressions obtained. UnIr* other-
wise mentioned, usually the principal values 3re used.
6.15. Substitution in a Definite Integral.
While ticrating art integral by the substitution of
a new variaV, it Is sometimes rather troublesometa transform the
result back Into the original variable. In all such cases, while inte-
grating the corresponding intergal between limits ( Le., corespond-
ing definite Integral), we can avoid the tedious process of restoring
the original variable, by changing the limits of the definite integral to
correspond with the change in the z'erlable.
Therefore in a definite integral the substitution should be ef-
fected In three places .l) in the Integrand, (U) in the differential and
(iii) in the limits.

6.17. Series represented by Definite Integrals.


The definition of a definite integral as the limit of a sum enables
us to evaluate easily the limits of the sums of certain series, when
the number of terms tends to infinit y by identifying them with
some definite integrals. This is illustrated in the following ex-
amples.
In identifying a series with a definite integral, it should be
noted thit the definite integral

1 )dx hta + r,when nh = b a,


fJ( =h0
may be expressed as


Lt b a j (a + = f
I-4 N N
J
In the special case when a 0, b I , we have h = I/n

Hence, in this case, we have

6.21. Logarithmic and Exponential Functions.
The fundamental concepts of Calculus furnish a more adequate
theory of logarithmic and exponential functions than the met-hods
adopted in elementary books. There an exponential function is first
introduced, and then logarithm is defined as the inverse function;
DINrFETNTFtRAIc 135

but in the treatment of these functions by the principles of Calculus,


logarithm is first defined by means of a definite integral, and then
exponential function is introduced as the inverse of logari-thm.
From the stand-point of these new definitions, certain impor-
tant inequalities and limits can be obtained more easily and
satisfactorily.
A. Logarithmic Function.
The natural lQgarithm log x is defined as

log x= (1)

where x is any positive number, i.e., x > 0


Thus, log x denotes the area under the curve y = I / t from
t = 1 tot = X.
From the definition it follows that log 1 = 0, and I since lit
is continuous for t > 0 1 from the fundamental theorem of Integral
Calculus it follows that log x is a continuous function and has a
derivative given by
d 1 . .. (2)
(logx) = .
Since the derivative is always positive, log x increases steadi-
ly with x (i.e., log x is a monotone increasing function).
Putting I = I / u in the integral for x, we get

di du -log 1
-=
log x=J z--=
j _

Putting t = yu I y = a fixed number > 0 I in the integral for
log( xy ), we get

TJ -Lm ; - f
XYdt du du
log (xy)=f
t/y I I

= logx_log(I/y)IOgX+l0gY ....(4)

INTEGRAL CALCULUS

i this way, other well-known properties of logarithms can be


)ped.
ice log x is a continuous monotone function of x, having
ue 0 for x = 1, and tending to infinity as x increases, there
,e some number greater than I such that for this value of x
y e log x = I ,and this number is called e Thus e is defined
equation

loge = I, i.e. .r: = . - ... (5)


ponentia unction.
- y = log x en we write x = e . (6)
n this way exponential e Y is defined for all real values
In particuh' e I = 1 , since log I = 0. As y is a continuous
ion of x, x a continuous function of y.
x = e Y so that y = log x, and so

dx x dy

i.e. , (e' ) = e . . . . (7)

CHAPTER VII
INFINITE (OR IMPROPER) INTEGRALS AND INTEGRATION
OF INFINITE SERIES

7.1. Infinite integrals.


In discussing definite integrals we have hitherto supposed that
the range of integration is finite and the intcgrand is continuous in
the range. If in an integral either the range is infinite or the in-
tegrand has an infinite discontinuty in the range (i.e., the intcgrand

ly
tends to infinity at some points of the range), the integral is usual-
called an Infinite Integral, and by some Writers an
Improper Integ
ral. Simple cases of infinite integrals occur in elementary problems;
for example, in the problem of finding the area between a plane
curve and its asymptote. We give below the definitions of infinite
integrals in different cases.
(A) Infinite range.

(I) ft (x ) dx is defined as U f f (x) dx,


provided f( x) is integrable in (a, c), and this limit exists.

(ii)5 f(x)dxis defined as £—

f(x)dx,
providedf( x) is integrable in (c, b), and this limit exists.

(iii) If the infinite integrals


1:! x ) dx and
5 f( x ) dx

both exist, we say that


5 .f( x ) dx exists, and

f(x)dx=ff(x)ax+ff(x)dx

integral is said to be convergent, when It tends to infinity with a fixed s
it * said to be divergent, and when It does not tend to any fixed limit. Ii.
or infinite, it is said to be oscillatory. When an integral is divergent or
dilatory, some writers say that the integral does not exist or the integral h
meaning. (See Ex. 2. § 7.2 I

7.5. Integration of Infinite Series.
We have proved in Art. 1.4 that the integral of the sum of a
finite number of terms Is equal to the sum of the Integrals of these
terms. Now, the question arises whether this principle can be ex-
tended to the case when the number of terms is not finite. In other
words is it always permissible to integrate an infinite series term
by term ? It Is beyond the scope of an elementary treatise like this
to investigate the conditions under which an infinite series can
properly be Integrated term by term. We should merely state the
theorem that applies to most of the series that are ordinarily met
with in elementary mathematics. For a fuller discussion, students
may consult any text-book on Mathematical Analysis.
Theorem A power series can be integrated term by term throughout
any interval of convergence, but not necessarily extending to the end-
points of the interval.
Thus, if f ( x ) can be expanded in a convergent infinite power
series for all values of x in a certain continuous range, viz.,
f(x) = + a 1 x +n 2 x + .... . to —,

CHAPTER VIII
IRRATIONAL FUNCTIONS

8.1. In the previous chapters we have discussed simple cases


of integrals of irrational functions. We shall now consider here
some harder types of such integrals.
8.2. If the integrand contains only fractional powers of x,
i.e., if the integrand be of the form

Fx)
where F( z) is a rational function of z,
the substitution is x =
where n is the least common multiple of the denominators of the
fractional exponents of x. I See Ex. I of Examples VIII. I
8.3. If the integrand contains only fractional powers
of (a + bx), i.e., if the intcgrand be of the form

F((a + bx)),
where F( z) is a rational function of z,
the substitution is a + bx = z'
where n is the least common multiple of the denominators of the
fractional exponents of ( a + bx) .L See Lx. 2 & 3 of Examples VIII. I

I
8.4. Let the integral be of the form
x ( . a + bx • )P dx,
where m, n, p are rational numbers.
(A) If p be a positive integer, expand (a + bx ) P by the
Binomial Theorem and integrate term by term.
I See Lx. 4(1) of Examples VIII.)
(B) If p be a fraction, say, equal to r/ s, where r and a are in-
tegers and s is positive,
166 INTEGRAL CALCULUS

m + 1 = an Integer or zero,
Case I. If
the substitution Is a + bx =
m + I * an integer or zero, we apply the following
If
I
Case IT.
If m + 1 + • an integer or zero,
Case II.

the e-,al substitution Is a + bx' = z'x


If, however, the integer is positive or zero,
alternative subslitutiott is a + bx A =V
If the integer is negative,
the alternative substitution is ax- 2 + b =
which is practically the same as (1) of Case II, sometimes facilitates
the calculation. I See Lx. 2 of Art. 8 .8. 1
dx
8.3. The integral of the form I 1 +d
+ b)I(cx_

Here the substitution is cx' + d = x 2 z'


Sometimes trigonometrical substitutions like
x = k tan 0, x = k sin 0 ,.x = k sec 9, etc. facilitate
integration.
I See Er. 28 (ii) of Examples 11 (A) and
Lx. 80) and Er. 8(ii) of Ex-
amples V111 .1

Here we shall consider two cases only.


breaks up into two linear factors of the
Caje I. If px + qx + r
forms (mx + n) and (,n'x + n'), then we resolve
I/( mx t n )( inx + n)) into two partial fractions and the integral
then transforms into the sum (or difference) of two integrals of the

IRRATIONAL FLJNCIIONS 161

type (B) of Art. 2.8. (See Ex. 13 of Examples VIII. I


Case IL !Ipx' + qx-+ nsa perfect square, say, (Ix + rn) 2 , then
the substitution is lx + m = liz
In some cases trigonometrical substitutions, as in Art. 8.5, are ef-
fective.
If q = 0 b = 0 the integral reduces to the form given in the
Art. 8.5.
In all these cases, the general substitution is
I iax + bx + c
.I I I=z.
'4 \px2+qx+r/

Briefly, we have considered integrals of the type


dx

where. P and Q are both linear functions of x and P linear, Q


quadratic I See Art. 2.8(A) and 2.8(B). I and P quadratic, Q quad-
ratic. I See Art. P.5 and 8.6. 1
If P be quad -'it and Q linear, put Q = z
Also we have considered integrals of the type

where f ( x ) is a polynomial, P, Q being linear or quadratic. I See Ex.

INTEGRATION BY SUCCESSIVE REDUCTION

AND BETA AND GAMMA FUNCTIONS

9.1. Reduction Formulae.


It has been mentioned in Art. 1.6 that, in some cases of integra-
tion, we take recourse to the method of successive reduction of the
integrand which mostly depends on the repeated application of in-
tegration by parts. This is specially the case when the Integrands
are complicated in nature and depend on certain parameter or
paramtturs These parameters may be positive, negative, negative
+42)./2,
or fractional indices, as for example, x "C", tan" x, (x 2
sin x cos x • etc. To obtain a complete integral of these
trigonometric or algebraic functions, we first of all define these in-
tegrals by the letters 1, 1. U , etc., introducing the parameter or
parameters as suffixes, and connect them with certain similar other
integral or integrals whose suffixes are lower than that of the
original integral. Then by repeatedly changing the value of the suf-
fixes, the original integral can be made to rest on much simpler in-
tegrals. This last integral can be easily evaluated and knowing the
value of this last integral, by the process of repeated substitution,
the value of the original integral can be found out. The formula in
which a certain integral involving some parameters is connected
with some integrals of lower order is called a Reduction Formula. In
most of the cases the reduction formula is obtained by the process
of integration by parts. Of course, in some cases the method of dif-
ferentiation (See § 9.19 below) or other special devices are adopted
(See § 9.20). In the next few pages methods of finding the reduction
formula of certain integrals are dlscl!sscd
Case I. Integrals involving one parameter.

Note 2. In evaluating (3) from (U we could Integrate r first, but L- that
case I, would have been connected with 1, ., i.e, with an Integral whose
suffix is greater than that of the original one, which is not usually desirable.
A little practice will enable the students to choose the right function.

.21. Beta and Gamma functions.
In many problems in the applications of Integral Calculus, the
USC of the Beta and Gamma functions often facilitates calculations.
So we give below an account of those functions —their definitions
and important properties, some of which are, however, men-
tioned without any proof.
Definitions

(B) e- x -1 dx denoted b y r ( n)
n > 0]
1C.P.'84,'81
is called the Second Eulcnan integra l or Gamma function.
Here m and n are positive but they need not be integers.
Properties
(i) By property (iv) of Art. 6.19, we get

(1 - i)-I dx 1xi (1 - )- 1 dx.

(ii) r (1) e • dx 1 . See Ex.1 of Art. 7.2.

* Results (v), (vi) and (vii) are given without any proof here The procfs are
based on "double integration" which i s treated in chapter 20 ot the
present book. Nevertheless, the results are extremely important in
applications and are to be carefully rcniembercd.

that even when n is not a posit;'r ir.rr,

cal about the Initial line,

from 0 = 0 and gradually in-
creasing 0 to X , the cor-
responding values of r are
noticed, and the curve is easi-

AREAS OF PLANE CURVES 237

In tracing the curve, we notice that, as 0 increases from 0 to . n, r


diminishes from a to 0, the portion AP, 0 being thus traced. As 0 increases
from to tr, r is negative throughout, and the corresponding portion of
the curve which is traced is OP, 14I13 0. Then as 0 increases from 1 it to . it,
r remains positive and the portion OP4 A'5 0 of the curve is traced. As
8 increases from i it to in, r is again negative and we get the portion
OP4 B'P7 0 of the curve. Finally, when 0 increases from I it to 2it, r is posi-
tive and the portion OP. AO of the curve is described. The curve thus con-
sists of four equal loops as shown in the figure.

Note. All curves of the type r = a sin nO, or r a cos nO may be
similarly traced, by dividing each quadrant into n equal parts, and increas-
ing 0 successively through each division. If r be found positive, the traced
portion of the curve will be in the same division; if r be negative, the traced
part will be in the diametrically opposite division. Anyway, when the curve
is completely traced, it will be found to consist of it equal loops if n be odd,
and 2n equal loops if it be even.

10.7. The sign of an area.

In the expression $ y dx for an area we tacitly assume that


the ordinate y is positive throughout the range (a, b) and that x in-
creases from atob,i.e.,b>a. y
In this case the area calcu-
lated by the above formula
will be positive. If, however, + C8
y be negative or if Li <a while 0 A -
y is positie, i.e., in moving Q
along the curve from x = a to
x = Li we are moving paral- Fig. 17
iel to the negative direction of the x-axis, the calculated area will
be negative.
If, therefore, we proceed to calculate the total area where, in
the range ( a , b) , y is positive for some portion and negative for
the rest, as in the above figure , by using the formula

dx, the calculated result will give us the difference of the


Jay
244 INTEGRAL CALCULUS

magnitude of the two areas ACP and CQB, which may be posi-
tive or negative or even zero if the magnitudes of the two areas are
equal.
Hence, if our object be to get the sum total of the magnitudes
of the two areas, we should calculate each part separately by the

formula of the type y dx, i y dx, the results being found to


be associated with their proper signs. We shall now discard the
signs and consider the sum of the magnitudes.
In each individual case, therefore, we should first of all have a
Q clear idea of the figure and
_- the area to be calculated, and
then we should proceed. For
S instance, notice that in the
figure -18, area PACR is +
R area CRSD is - and area
SDBQ is +, and that for the
+ range DC of the x-axis, y is
O A three-valued and in calculat-
ing the area PACR we are to
Fig. 19 use one value of y for the
portion in the formula
5 y dx, for calculating the area CRSD

we are to use a second value of y In the formula


5C
y dx, the
upper limit d being less than c for this part, and lastly for the area
SDBQ we are to use the third value of y for this part in the formula

f J
ydx. If we take the algebraic sum of the three areas, with their

proper signs, wjet the area bounded by the curve, the x-axis and
the ordinates AP and BQ.

Similarly, in the formula .
a 5 2
r dO in polar co-ordinates
if A < a, i.e., if 0 diminishes in moving along the curve from 0 = a
to 0 = ft , the calculated area
will be negative. Then area Q

area OSQ is + • the area
bounded by PRSQ and the
radii vectors OP , OQ being
their algebraic sum. Also for
the range SOR, for eadi value
of 0 , r has three values, and

Fig. 20
In a closed curve given by Cartesian equation, clearly for
each value of x there will be two values of y , say, y, and Y1
[See figure (i)J. The extreme values of y,say, a and b, are obtained

byputing y1 = yi . Now J (y1 -y2 ) dx will give the positive

value of the required area, provided b > a and y1 > y2 . This


amounts, as it were, to the determination of the area between two
curves having the same equation as the given one, but y being

single-valued in each, the proper value being chosen for each part.
The method has been illustrated in Ex. 2, Art. 10.4.
In polar curves, if the origin be within the curve See [figure (ii)I.

r 2 dO gives the desired area.


- J 0
If the origin be outside, corresponding to each value of S there
are two values of r, say, r1 and r2 See [figure (iii)]. The extreme
values of 0 , namely a and 0 , are obtained by putting r1 =
Mow, if r1 > r2 and 0 > a, the positive value of the area will be

given by the expression I - r2


- $f ( r1
In fact, the area OAPB is given by
5a r1 2 dO and is positive,
while r2 2 dO gives the area OBQA with negative sign, the

algebraic sum of the two giving the desired area.


In the case of closed curves there is another method of calculat-
ing the area. Let ( x , y) be the Cartesian co-ordinates of a point on
the curve whose polar co-ordinates are (r. 0 ) , then x = r cos 0,
y = rsin0.
Now, if I be a single variable parameter in terms of which x, y
and, therefore, r, 0 of any point on the curve can be expressed, we
have
dxdr . dO

Hence, the area which is expressed by the integral


well be expressed by the line integral
I r 2 dO can as

along the curve, the limits of t for the closed curve being such that
the point (x , y) returns to its initial position. The rule of signs for
the area is that the above expression is positive when the area lies
to the left of a point describing the curve in the direction in which
I increases.
10.9. Approximate evaluation of a definite integral Simp-
son's rule.
In many cases, a definite integral cannot be obtained either be-
cause the quantity to be integrated cannot be expressed as a math-
ematical function or because the indefinite integral of the function
itself cannot be determined directly. In such cases formula of ap-
proximation are used. One such important formula is Simpson's
rule. By this rule the definite integral of any function (or the area
bounded by a curve, the x-axis and two extreme ordinates ) is ex-
pressed in terms of the individual values of any number of or-
dinates within the interval, by assuming that the function within
each of the small ranges into which the whole interval may be
divided can be represented, to a sufficient degree of approxima-
tion, by a parabolic function.
Simpson's Rule : An approximate value of the definite integral

In words, the above rule can be written as


4 h ( sum of the extreme ordinates + 2 . sum of the re-
maining odd ordinates + 4. sum of the remaining even or-
dinates ].
Let PQ be the curve y= f(x)andPL,QM be the ordinates
x = a, x = L. Divide the interval LM into 2n equal intervals each

of length h bythep6ints N2 , N3 .... . sothat h = ( b -a)/2n


and let V1 N2 V3 N3 ........ . be the ordinates at N 2 ,N3 ........
Then PL = y1, P2 N 2 = yz. P 3 N 3 y , . . . Through PP2 P3 draw a
parabola having its axis parallel to the y-axis, and let its equation
referred to parallel axes through N2 (a + h , ) be
