Sum Rule in Integration - Application To Indefinite Integrals

Application To Indefinite Integrals

For example, if you know that the integral of exp(x) is exp(x) from calculus with exponentials and that the integral of cos(x) is sin(x) from calculus with trigonometry then:

Some other general results come from this rule. For example:

The proof above relied on the special case of the constant factor rule in integration with k=-1.

Thus, the sum rule might be written as:

Another basic application is that sigma and integral signs can be changed around. That is:

This is simply because:

Famous quotes containing the words application to, application and/or indefinite:

    The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.
