    Difference and relation between Differentiation and Integration

    Relation between Differentiation and Integration Table Of Contents Look at the information given below. \[\mathbf{ y=f(x)}\] \[ \mathbf{ f'(x)\rightarrow \text{Derivatives of f(x)}}\] \[ \mathbf{\displaystyle \int_a^b f’(x) = ?}\] Can you tell me the value of above integral? Yes, it will be equal to f(b)-f(a) . We have already known this result. It tells us that integration is just the reverse of differentiation, integral of the derivative of the function f(x) is just equal to the difference in the function f(x) evaluated at the limits of integration. Indefinite integration- Notes and Formula Part 1 Now with this topic, we will understand how to apply this result to find the integral of a function.  Consider this function \(\mathbf{g(x)=x^2}\) Let's find the integral of this function from a to b i.e \(\mathbf{\displaystyle \int_a^b g(x) \, dx}\) .  Can you think how we can apply this result to find ...
