Basic Properties of Definite Integrals

Key Questions

• What are five basic properties of definite integrals?

  Is this what you have in mind?

  1. `int_a^a f(x) dx=0`

  2. `int_a^b f(x) dx=-int_b^a f(x) dx`

  3. `int_a^b [f(x)+g(x)]dx=int_a^b f(x) dx+int_a^b g(x) dx`

  4. `int_a^b k f(x)dx=k int_a^b f(x) dx`

  5. `int_a^b f(x) dx=int_a^c f(x) dx + int_c^b f(x) dx`

  I hope that this was helpful.
