00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.296
Here is the problem: integrate cos(x) from negative 3 to 0.

2
00:00:04.746 --> 00:00:10.319
Evaluate the definite integral of cos(x) from x equals negative 3 to x equals 0.

3
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:13.058
Start with the definite integral.

4
00:00:13.508 --> 00:00:16.840
the integral of cos x dx equals sin x.

5
00:00:17.290 --> 00:00:18.300
Antiderivative.

6
00:00:18.750 --> 00:00:21.409
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus.

7
00:00:22.209 --> 00:00:27.666
So the answer is 0.1411200081.

8
00:00:28.116 --> 00:00:37.021
A definite integral gives the signed area between the curve and the x-axis: area above the axis counts as positive and area below counts as negative.

9
00:00:37.821 --> 00:00:42.616
Differentiated the antiderivative and compared it with the integrand, which checks out.

10
00:00:43.066 --> 00:00:51.042
Adaptive Simpson prime s rule gives 0.1411200081, which checks out.
