objective: able to antidifferentiate y=ax^n and y=(ax+b)^n
technique:

Case 1:
1) add 1 to the power
2) divide it

11H- further integration techniques

Image
In this exercise, we will typically be asked to differentiate a function first, and "hence" use the answer to antidifferentiate a complicated function. The trick to do this is to differentiate it correctly, and identify what we can manipulate from dy/dx so that we can apply the integration back to the original function, y.

11I- The area between two curves

Image
Objective: using integration to evaluate the area between two curves, we need to: 1) solve for the intersection point (x-values) 2) if f(x) is above g(x), we subtract g(x) from f(x) and find the definite integral between [a,b] 3) ignore the negative area, don't have to invert [a,b]-->[b,a] like we did in Ex 11H. The negative areas will cancel out in this case
