Two things we NEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD to know for Calc right now are Integration and how to determine the bounds of a region on a graph. Both are fairly easy to do. For Integration all you do is add one to the exponent and then divide the new exponent by the number out in front of the variable. You can't forget to put a c at the end of the equation. c stands for the constant at the end of a problem because when working a derivative backwards you never know if there was a constant in the problem or not.
Ex :
2x
-Add one to the exponent and get 2 x ^ 2
-Divide the front number by the exponent and you get ( 2/2 ) x ^ 2
The answer is x ^ 2 + c
-For finding the bounds you set the equations in the problem equal too each other and then solve for x.
Ex :
x^2 + 2x = 3x
x^2 - x = 0
x ( x - 1 ) = 0
the bounds are x = 1, 0
