1. The definite integral $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx$ represents the:
Slope of the tangent line to $f(x)$
Area under the curve $f(x)$ from $a$ to $b$
Volume of the solid generated by revolving $f(x)$
Instantaneous rate of change of $f(x)$
2. Which of the following is the correct notation for the definite integral of a function $g(x)$ from $c$ to $d$?
$g'(x)$
$\int g(x) dx$
$\int_{c}^{d} g(x) dx$
$G(d) - G(c)$
3. The Theorem of Calculus connects differentiation and integration.
4. If $f(x)$ is a continuous function, then $\int_{a}^{a} f(x) dx$ is equal to .
5. Evaluate the definite integral: $\int_{1}^{3} (2x + 1) dx$
6. The value of a definite integral can be negative.
True
False
7. Given the graph of $f(x)$ below, estimate the definite integral $\int_{0}^{4} f(x) dx$ by counting squares. Each square has an area of 1 unit.
8. Explain the relationship between the definite integral and the area under a curve. Provide an example to illustrate your explanation.
