DefinitionDefinite integrals: this is the de or integral type in which the points in the interval of the integral are set to well-defined boundaries. The definite integral ∫abf x dx shows a net area of the region for the curve, in terms of f x and the x-axis. In calculus, a definite integral describes how the quantity and the rate of its changes are related. Change is defined with respect to the distance of something to be covered over time, distance covered per head count, change in value with respect to quantity, a difference which varies along the positionPales of a second. For example, the definite integral ∫01x2dx gives the are under the curve y=x2 from x=0 to x=1 for the X-axis.
