# Integration Practice Problems, Part 1

The following practice problems serve to review some of main concepts of integration from the past couple of lessons, up until the $u$-substitution lesson. I encourage you to attempt the problems yourself before taking a look at the solutions.

## Practice Problems

### Problem 1

Which of the following statement(s) are true?

1. If $f(x)$ is increasing and concave up on $[a, b]$, then the left Riemann sum for $\int_a^b f(x)dx$ is an underestimate.
2. If $f(x)$ is concave up on $[a, b]$, $g(x)$ is concave down on $[a, b]$, $f(a)=g(a)$, $f(b)=g(b)$, and $f(a)<f(b)$, then the left Riemann sum for $\int_a^b f(x)dx$ is less than the corresponding left Riemann sum for $\int_a^b g(x)dx$.
3. If $f(x)$ is concave down on $[a, b]$, then the midpoint Riemann sum for $\int_a^b f(x)dx$ is an overestimate.

### Problem 2

For the function whose values are given in the table below, $\int_0^6 f(x) dx$ is approximated by a Riemann Sum using the value at the midpoint of each of three intervals of width $2$. What is the value of the approximation?

 $x$ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 $f(x)$ 0 0.25 0.48 0.68 0.84 0.95 1

### Problem 3

The table below gives values of a decreasing, differentiable function $f(x)$. Approximate the value of $\int_0^8 f(x)dx$ using a trapezoidal sum with four subintervals indicated by the data in the table.

 $x$ 0 1 5 6 8 $f(x)$ 20 16 8 6 2

### Problem 4

If $\int_2^8 f(x) dx = -10$ and $\int_2^4 f(x)dx = 6$, then what is the value of $\int_4^8 f(x)dx$?

### Problem 5

Evaluate the indefinite integral

$\int (x+3)\sqrt{x-1}dx$

### Problem 6

Evaluate the indefinite integral

$\int \frac{dx}{e^x+1}$

### Problem 7

Evaluate the indefinite integral

$\int \frac{\ln(\ln x)}{x\ln x} dx$

### Problem 8

This problem is adapted from the 2016 AP Calculus AB Exam.

The figure above shows the graph of the piecewise-linear function $f$. For $-4\leq x\leq 12$, the function $g$ is defined by $g(x)=\int_2^x f(t)dt$.

1. Does $g$ have a relative minimum, a relative maximum, or neither at $x=10$? Justify your answer.
2. Does the graph of $g$ have a point of inflection at $x=4$? Justify your answer.
3. Find the absolute minimum value and the absolute maximum value of $g$ on the interval $-4\leq x\leq 12$. Justify your answers.
4. For $-4\leq x\leq 12$, find all intervals for which $g(x)\leq 0$.
