Integration's Applications and Methods
Integrals(also known anti-derivatives) have many useful functions within the wonderful world of math. It can be used to find displacement and velocity equations, the area between curves, the volume of a shape rotated around an axis, and average value of a curve. There are few methods used in order to work through some of the difficulties that integration implies.
SubstitutionCommonly known as a "U Substitution" because the variable U is frequently used, substitution is a method used to solve some of the more complex integrals, and is necessary in many instances due to the lack of quotient and product rules.
VolumeWhile an integral can be used to find the area of a bounded area, it can also be used to find the volume of a bounded area as it is rotated around an axis. This axis is known as the axis of rotation, and it can be vertical, horizontal, and sometimes oblique.
