P2.8.1 - Evaluation of definite integrals

Evaluation of definite integrals.

Use evaluation of definite integrals to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because evaluation of definite integrals determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply evaluation of definite integrals to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: Evaluation of definite integrals is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
