Definition: Indefinite Integral The indefinite integral of r with respect to t is the set of all antiderivatives of r, denoted by. If R is any antiderivative of r, then Quick Example – Evaluate:
Definition: Definite Integral If the components of r(t) = f(t)i + g(t)j are integrable on [a, b], then so is r, and the definite integral of r from a to b is Quick Example – Evaluate:
Guided Practice The velocity vector of a particle moving in the plane (scaled in meters) is (a) Find the particle’s position as a vector function of t if when Initial Condition:
Guided Practice The velocity vector of a particle moving in the plane (scaled in meters) is (b) Find the distance the particle travels from t = 0 to t = 2. Graph the parametrization in [ – 1, 2] by [– 2, 4]: This is the path traveled by the particle, which is smooth, and the path is traversed exactly once on the interval… m
