Integration 1

This topic introduces integration as the inverse process of differentiation. Learners will explore basic integration techniques and applications such as finding areas under curves.

Learning Outcomes:
The learner should be able to:

• Understand the concept of integration and its notation.
• link integration and differentiation as reverse processes.
• Perform basic integration of polynomials and simple functions.
• determine the area under curve bounded by the x- axis and y- axis.
• determine areas enclosed between two functions.
• Determine displacement, velocity and acceleration.
• determine the volume of a solid of revolution about x – axis, y – axis.
• Solve problems using integration in various contexts.
• calculate the mean value of a function.
