The common limit of two series sn and Sn is called DEFINITE INTEGRAL of y(x) continuous function in (x1-x2) interval and is designated by writing: | |
x2 | |
ò y(x)dx that you must read "definite integral of y(x)dx from x1 to x2". | |
x1 | |
The definite integral is a well fixed number when a y(x) function and a (x1-x2) interval are fixed. It is independent of integration variable values that we then can even replace by any different one. For example t variable. So, if t1=x1 e t2=x2: | |
x2 | t2 |
ò y(x)dx = | ò y(t)dt |
x1 | t1 |
