Increasing Functions

Increasing Functions

Learn how to show that a function is always increasing using its derivative In simple terms, to say that a function is increasing or decreasing means that the graph is sloping up or down. Slope is measured by gradient which is associated with derivatives. So...

Areas & Definite Integrals

Definite Integrals and the Area Under a Curve A common integral Calculus problem is to find the area under a curve – and also the area between curves. In fact, this is often the first application of integrals that students learn. Finding such an area is...
Integration by Parts

Integration by Parts

Learn how to evaluate integrals where the integrand is a product of functions Integration by parts is a hugely helpful technique which greatly extends the number of functions that can be integrated. Like the product rule for differentiation, it allows us to integrate...
The Area Under a Curve

The Area Under a Curve

Learn how to find the area under a curve using definite integrals Finding the area underneath a curve is a common application of definite integrals. If you’re taking a course in integral Calculus you will almost certainly be asked to find the area underneath a...
Evaluating Definite Integrals

Evaluating Definite Integrals

Learn how to evaluate definite integrals using The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is a key result in Mathematics. It essentially links together the two branches of Calculus, differentiation and integration (anti-differentiation)....
