00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:03,830
Today we're going to be talking about how to evaluate a definite integral.
2
00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:09,390
And in this particular problem we've been given the interval from negative 1 to 1 of either the negative
3
00:00:09,420 --> 00:00:11,370
2 x x.
4
00:00:11,370 --> 00:00:17,070
Now what makes this a definite integral which is visibly obvious is these upper and lower limits of
5
00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:20,620
integration that are attached to this integral notation here.
6
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:22,810
The negative one and the positive one.
7
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:27,660
If you don't have those little numbers right there and you just have your integral notation and then
8
00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:33,540
let's say either the negative 2 x x without these numbers then we call it an indefinite integral where
9
00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:36,240
there are no upper and lower limits of integration.
10
00:00:36,250 --> 00:00:39,920
Remember that an integral is all about finding area under the curve.
11
00:00:40,050 --> 00:00:46,530
So without these limits we're saying find the area under the curve everywhere under the curve and above
12
00:00:46,530 --> 00:00:52,960
the x axis from negative infinity to positive infinity or from wherever the graph intersects the x axis.
13
00:00:52,980 --> 00:00:58,080
But in this particular case where we added these limits of integration the negative one and the positive
14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:04,740
one were saying give me the area under this curve and above the x axis between X equals negative 1 and
15
00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:06,930
X equals ones on that interval.
16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,920
That's essentially what we're finding here.
17
00:01:09,210 --> 00:01:14,430
And definite integrals are just like indefinite integrals in the sense that we're going to evaluate
18
00:01:14,430 --> 00:01:19,110
the integral but then we have to plug in our upper and lower limits of integration.
19
00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:21,470
So we'll look at that when we get to it.
20
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:26,370
But the first thing we want to do is just evaluate this integral and you'll remember that the integral
21
00:01:26,490 --> 00:01:35,100
of each of the X is just to the X but when we have this coefficient on the exponent here this negative
22
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:44,010
two value we have to divide by that coefficients are integral will be easy to the negative 2 x.
23
00:01:44,070 --> 00:01:51,510
But then we need to divide by that negative twos will say 1 over negative 2 will be our new coefficient.
24
00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:57,750
This is opposite of when we take the derivative of E to the negative 2 x we get negative 2 to the negative
25
00:01:57,750 --> 00:02:03,540
2 x instead of just multiplying by that negative 2 coefficient where dividing by the negative two coefficient
26
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:06,260
because we're going in the opposite direction taking the integral.
27
00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:11,940
So that's our integral and two things to know before we evaluate this integral on the interval negative
28
00:02:11,940 --> 00:02:12,800
1 to 1.
29
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,500
First we're not going to add the constant of integration.
30
00:02:16,510 --> 00:02:22,230
See Remember normally when we take an integral we add to this plus C we're not going to do that because
31
00:02:22,230 --> 00:02:27,200
when we have a definite integral we don't need to add some arbitrary constant.
32
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,370
The fact that it's a definite integral removes the ambiguity that would normally exist with an indefinite
33
00:02:32,430 --> 00:02:35,980
integral where we have to add that constant integration.
34
00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:40,570
But because we have a definite integral we never have to add that plus c so we won't be adding that.
35
00:02:40,830 --> 00:02:45,720
And then the way that we didn't know that this is a definite integral for which we're going to evaluate
36
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:51,720
on a specific interval is we draw this line here on the right hand side and we say negative 1 to 1.
37
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,630
So these upper and lower limits of integration here transfer from the integral to this kind of notation
38
00:02:57,630 --> 00:03:03,260
here and what this tells us is that we're evaluating on the interval negative one positive one.
39
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:05,000
So how do we evaluate now.
40
00:03:05,010 --> 00:03:10,410
Well when you're evaluating a definite integral you always plug in the upper limit of integration first.
41
00:03:10,410 --> 00:03:12,330
In our case that's one here.
42
00:03:12,370 --> 00:03:18,480
We plug that in first then we subtract whatever we get when we plug in our lower limit of integration.
43
00:03:18,510 --> 00:03:19,520
Negative 1.
44
00:03:19,770 --> 00:03:23,200
So first of all plug in 1 will get 1 over negative.
45
00:03:23,210 --> 00:03:29,130
To each to the negative two times positive one our upper limit of integration.
46
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,820
Then we're going to subtract whatever we get when plug our lower limit.
47
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:37,440
Keep in mind that sometimes because you're subtracting here you can end up with a double negative so
48
00:03:37,470 --> 00:03:42,810
it's really important to have parentheses here so that you make sure you distribute this negative sign
49
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:44,380
across multiple terms.
50
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:45,660
If you have them.
51
00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:53,310
So we're going to say minus and then 1 over negative to E to the negative two times are lower limit
52
00:03:53,310 --> 00:03:54,690
of integration here.
53
00:03:54,690 --> 00:03:55,460
Negative 1.
54
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:57,660
So negative 1 like this.
55
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:01,910
And now it's just a matter of simplifying whatever we have here.
56
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:08,060
So we've got negative 1 1/2 E to the negative to the to the negative 2.
57
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:15,150
Now we have minus a negative one half which is going to give us plus one half B to the negative two
58
00:04:15,150 --> 00:04:19,790
times negative one gives us positive 2 and we could leave our answer like this.
59
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,120
But it's nice to always lead with a positive term instead of a negative term.
60
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,020
If we can.
61
00:04:25,170 --> 00:04:32,270
So we're just going to flip the order of the terms we're going to say one half the squared minus 1 1/2
62
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,590
E to the negative 2.
63
00:04:34,650 --> 00:04:43,180
Then if we want to go ahead and factor out a 1 1/2 we can still say 1 1/2 times the squared minus E
64
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:49,470
to the negative 2 it would be nice not to have this negative xponent here's what we'll do is we'll move
65
00:04:49,470 --> 00:04:54,480
that to the denominator which will make the xponent positive instead of negative.
66
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:01,450
So we'll get e squared minus 1 over e squared and that negative becomes a positive tool and move it
67
00:05:01,450 --> 00:05:04,140
to the denominator and that's it that's our final answer.
68
00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:06,910
That's how you evaluate a definite integral.
