RESPONSE --> 1st: the area is: 1 F(1) = 1 2nd: the area is: .5 F(2) = 1 + .5 = 1.5 3rd: the area is: -.5 F(3) = 1.5 + -.5 = 1.0 4th: the area is: -1 F(4) = 1.0 + -1.0 = 0 5th: the area is: -1 F(5) = 0 + -1 = -1 6th: the area is: 0 F(6) = -1 + 0 = -1

13:47:09 ** f(x) is the 'rate function'. The change in the 'amount function' F(x) is represented as the accumulated area under the graph of f(x). Since F(0) = 0, F(x) will just the equal to the accumulated area. We can represent the graph of f(x) as a trapezoidal approximation graph, with uniform width 1. The first trapezoid extends from x = 0 to x = 1 and has altitude y = 1 at both ends. Therefore its average altitude is 1 and its what is 1, giving area 1. So the accumulated area through the first trapezoid is 1. Thus F(1) = 1. The second trapezoid has area .5, since its altitudes 1 and 0 average to .5 and imply area .5. The cumulative area through the second trapezoid is therefore still 1 + .5 = 1.5. Thus F(2) = 1.5. The third trapezoid has altitudes 0 and -1 so its average altitude is -.5 and width 1, giving it 'area' -.5. The accumulated area through the third trapezoid is therefore 1 + .5 - .5 = 1. Thus F(3) = 1. The fourth trapezoid has uniform altitude -1 and width 1, giving it 'area' -1. The accumulated area through the fourth trapezoid is therefore 1 + .5 - .5 - 1 = 0. Thus F(4) = 0. The fifth trapezoid has uniform altitude -1 and width 1, giving it 'area' -1. The accumulated area through the fifth trapezoid is therefore 1 + .5 - .5 - 1 - 1 = -1. Thus F(5) = -1. The sixth trapezoid has altitudes 1 and -1 so its average altitude, and therefore it's area, is 0. Accumulated area through the sixth trapezoid is therefore 1 + .5 - .5 - 1 - 1 + 0 = -1. Thus F(6) = -1. **

13:49:25 If you made a trapezoidal graph of this function what would be the area of teach trapezoid, and what would be the accumulated area from x = 0 to x = b for b = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6? What does your answer have to do with this question?

13:53:51 Query 5.4.12. integral of e^(x^2) from -1 to 1. How do you know that the integral of this function from 0 to 1 lies between 0 and 3?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Average value * length of interval = integral You know that the integral of this function lies less than 3 because the highest value of the function is e, which is 2.71... This means that the average value cannot be over 3. The length of interval is below 3 because the curve is below 3 so this makes the interval below 3.

13:53:52 ** The max value of the function is e, about 2.71828, which occurs at x = 1. Thus e^(x^2) is always less than 3. On the interval from 0 to 1 the curve therefore lies above the x axis and below the line y = 3. The area of this interval below the y = 3 line is 3. So the integral is less than 3. Alternatively e^(x^2) is never as great as 3, so its average value is less than 3. Therefore its integral, which is average value * length of interval, is less that 3 * 1 = 3. **
