Talk for Learning, Think-pair-share, Experiential Learning and Group Work/Collaborative Learning.
Activity 1: With reference to a real life instances of derivative functions, learners work in mixed-ability groups to discuss the concept, importance and basic rules of integration.
Rules of Integration
- Power Rule
- Sum rule
- Difference rule
- Multiplication by constant
Example 1: Which rule of integration is applicable and why? 5. 6. 7. 8.
Example 2 Evaluate the antiderivative of the following; 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.
Definite Integral: Learners should be aware that from the fundamental theorem of calculus, if is continuous on the interval, and let be an antiderivative of . Then
14. Where, Theorem ( Integral Theorems) 15. If are two antiderivatives of the same function, then and differ by a constant. In other words, there is a constant such that
16. If for all, then for some constant . 17. Let be a continuous nonnegative function for. Let be the area of the region under the graph of the function from to the number. The is an antiderivative of
Activity 2: Evaluating integrals Learners will be working in convenient groups (ability, mixed-ability, mixed gender or pairs etc.) to evaluate integrals.
Example 1: Evaluate the following integrals 18. 19. 20. 21.
Solution: d.
Note: that for questions b and c, the length of the limits of integration for a) is 6-2=4 and that of the b) is 6-0=6. What is the integral value for questions b and c.? Are the same? Why?
