Integrating an odd function

Evaluate the definite integral of the odd function −5 sin x over the interval [ π , π ] .

The graph is shown in [link] . We can see the symmetry about the origin by the positive area above the x -axis over [ π , 0 ] , and the negative area below the x -axis over [ 0 , π ] . We have

π π −5 sin x d x = −5 ( cos x ) | π π = 5 cos x | π π = [ 5 cos π ] [ 5 cos ( π ) ] = −5 ( −5 ) = 0 .
A graph of the given function f(x) = -5 sin(x). The area under the function but above the x axis is shaded over [-pi, 0], and the area above the function and under the x axis is shaded over [0, pi].
The graph shows areas between a curve and the x -axis for an odd function.

Key concepts

  • The net change theorem states that when a quantity changes, the final value equals the initial value plus the integral of the rate of change. Net change can be a positive number, a negative number, or zero.
  • The area under an even function over a symmetric interval can be calculated by doubling the area over the positive x -axis. For an odd function, the integral over a symmetric interval equals zero, because half the area is negative.

Key equations

  • Net Change Theorem
    F ( b ) = F ( a ) + a b F ' ( x ) d x or a b F ' ( x ) d x = F ( b ) F ( a )

Use basic integration formulas to compute the following antiderivatives.

A dodecahedron is a Platonic solid with a surface that consists of 12 pentagons, each of equal area. By how much does the surface area of a dodecahedron increase as the side length of each pentagon doubles from 1 unit to 2 units?

With p as in the previous exercise, each of the 12 pentagons increases in area from 2 p to 4 p units so the net increase in the area of the dodecahedron is 36 p units.

Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
