| | + | <h3>1. Additive Distribution</h3> |
| | + | If an integral contains two functions added together, it may be rewritten as two separate integrals, each containing one function. |
| | *<math>\int_{a}^{b}(f(x)+g(x))dx=\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx+\int_{a}^{b}g(x)dx</math> | | *<math>\int_{a}^{b}(f(x)+g(x))dx=\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx+\int_{a}^{b}g(x)dx</math> |
| | | | |
| | + | <h3>2. Constant Multiplicative Distribution</h3> |
| | + | If an integral contains a function multiplied by a constant, it may be rewritten as the constant times the integral of the function. |
| | *<math>\int_{a}^{b}cf(x)dx=c\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx</math> | | *<math>\int_{a}^{b}cf(x)dx=c\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx</math> |
| | | | |
| | + | <h3>3. Area</h3> |
| | + | Any integral that contains the same upper and lower limit is equal to zero. |
| | *<math>\int_{a}^{a}f(x)dx=0</math> | | *<math>\int_{a}^{a}f(x)dx=0</math> |
| | | | |
| | + | <h3>4. Separation</h3> |
| | + | An integral may be rewritten as the sum of two integrals with adjacent limits. |
| | *<math>\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx=\int_{a}^{c}f(x)dx+\int_{c}^{b}f(x)dx</math>, <math>c\in(a,b)</math> | | *<math>\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx=\int_{a}^{c}f(x)dx+\int_{c}^{b}f(x)dx</math>, <math>c\in(a,b)</math> |
| | | | |
| | + | <h3>5. Additive Inversion</h3> |
| | + | Any integral is equal to the additive inverse of the same integral with reversed upper and lower limits. |
| | *<math>\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx=-\int_{b}^{a}f(x)dx</math> | | *<math>\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx=-\int_{b}^{a}f(x)dx</math> |
