Integration

Integration is a simple way of "quickly" adding. In cases where you have a curve under a graph for example a velocity-time graph, the area under the curve will give you the distance. If you know the equation of the curve, integrating it will allow you to find the distance. Integration is also the opposite of differentiation.

The point P lies on a curve with equation: x=(4y-sin2y)^2. (i) Given P has coordinates (x, pi/2) find x. (ii) The tangent to the curve at P cuts the y-axis at the point A. Use calculus to find the coordinates of the point A.


A curve has parametric equations -> x = 2cos(2t), y = 6sin(t). Find the gradient of the curve at t = π/3.


Sketch the line y=x^2-4x+3. Be sure to clearly show all the points where the line crosses the coordinate axis and the stationary points
