Sum Rule in Integration - Application To Indefinite Integrals

Application To Indefinite Integrals

For example, if you know that the integral of exp(x) is exp(x) from calculus with exponentials and that the integral of cos(x) is sin(x) from calculus with trigonometry then:

Some other general results come from this rule. For example:

The proof above relied on the special case of the constant factor rule in integration with k=-1.

Thus, the sum rule might be written as:

Another basic application is that sigma and integral signs can be changed around. That is:

This is simply because:

Famous quotes containing the words application to, application and/or indefinite:

    “Five o’clock tea” is a phrase our “rude forefathers,” even of the last generation, would scarcely have understood, so completely is it a thing of to-day; and yet, so rapid is the March of the Mind, it has already risen into a national institution, and rivals, in its universal application to all ranks and ages, and as a specific for “all the ills that flesh is heir to,” the glorious Magna Charta.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word.

    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    ... indefinite visions of ambition are weak against the ease of doing what is habitual or beguilingly agreeable.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
