Sometimes a function can't be integrated by regular methods, or just an estimate for the integral is needed. It's silly to use Simpson's Rule for a function such as cos(x) that has an elementary antiderivative, but something like e^(-x^2) doesn't. So, you can approximate the definite integral using Simpson's Rule.

When you find particular integral then why you not add constantof integration?

Where you refer to a particular integral I will assume you mean a definite integral. To illustrate why there is no constant of integration in the result of a definite integral let me take a simple example. Consider the definite integral of 1 from 0 to 1. The antiderivative of this function is x + C, where C is the so-called constant of integration. Now to evaluate the definite integral we calculate the difference between the value of the antiderivative at the upper limit of integration and the value of it at the lower limit of integration: (1 + C) - (0 + C) = 1 The C's cancel out. Furthermore, they will cancel out no matter what the either antiderivatives happen to be or what the limits of integration happen to be.


The bankers interest method is also known as what method?

The bankers' interest method is also known as the "simple interest method" or "exact interest method." This approach calculates interest based on a 360-day year, which is commonly used in the banking industry for simplicity in calculations. It differs from the standard method that calculates interest using a 365-day year.

What is responsible for the integration of simple responses to certain stimuli such as the patellar reflex?

The spinal cord is responsible for integrating simple responses to stimuli, such as the patellar reflex. In the case of the patellar reflex, the sensory neurons in the knee send signals to the spinal cord, where motor neurons are activated to produce the reflexive response of leg extension. This integration occurs without involving the brain, allowing for a quick and automatic response.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of kinetic study by integration method?

The integration method in kinetic studies allows for direct determination of reaction rate constants and the concentration of reactants/products through mathematical integration of concentration versus time data. Advantages include its ability to provide precise and detailed kinetic information, especially for simple reaction mechanisms. However, disadvantages include its reliance on accurate initial conditions and concentration measurements, as well as potential complications from complex reaction mechanisms that may not fit ideal models, leading to difficulties in data interpretation.

How do you calculate area under the hydrograph curve without integrating?

Basically this isn't possible. Whenever you have an irregular curve, you need some kind of integration technique to get the area, or an estimate of the area. This can be quite simple, at least in principle: just approximate the area by narrow rectangles, calculate the area of each rectangle, and add everything up.
