|A graph representation of <math>f(x)</math> in Example 1.
|-
|The ''thin blue line'' is f(x).
|-
|The ''yellow'' is what we add to get the value of the integral. It is the '''area'''.
|-
|The ''vertical green line'', the '''lower bound''', is at -3 because the lower bound of the definite integral is located at -3.
|-
|Likewise, the ''red line'' is the '''upper bound''', which is at 5.

This is a very simple definite integral:
:<math>\int_{-3}^{5} x^2 dx</math>
