An interval of integration is a range between two values that determines which part(s) of a function will be included in calculating an integral.
Imagine you have a bag filled with candies, and you want to count how many red candies there are. You decide to pour out only some candies onto your table - this selection represents your interval of integration. By choosing specific candies within that range, you can accurately determine how many red candies there are in total.
Antiderivative: An antiderivative is essentially an "undo" function for differentiation. It allows us to find functions whose derivatives match a given function.
Riemann Sum: A Riemann sum is an approximation method used in calculus to estimate definite integrals by dividing an interval into smaller subintervals and evaluating them using sample points.
Bounds: Bounds refer to the upper and lower limits that define an interval. In calculus, they often represent values used for integration or differentiation purposes.
