Net Change Theorem (Concept)
The integral of the rate of change (derivative) is the total net change
Net Change Equation
∫b ->a F’(x)dx = F(b)-F(a)
To find the end amount of the Net Change Theorem
F(b) =F(a) + ∫b ->a F’(x)dx
If f(x) is the slope of a trail at a distance of x miles what does ∫5->3 f(x)dx represent?
The total change of elevation from x=3 -> 5
A honey bee population starts with 100 bees and increases at a rate of n’(t) bees per week. What does 100 + ∫15->0 n’(t)dt represent?
The total number of bees in the population after 15 weeks
Process of Net Change Calculation
- Label your rate, your x, and your total number (pick a letter, just not O)
- Write an expression for one small piece of that quantity (dC = d(x)dx) then plug in
- Write the definite integral
- Evaluate the integral
- Write a sentence to answer the question
Accumulation Function
F(x) = F(a) + ∫x -> a F’(t) dt
Review 6. (c) of CW #14
Make sure that equation is set up right
MVT
∫b->a f(x)dx = f(x*)(b-a)
Notice how its the opposite of finding the average value. f(x*) IS f(avg)
Average Value
f(avg) = 1/(b-a)∫b-a f(x) dx
Area Between Curves Equation
∫b->a [f(x) - g(x)] dx

Area of an equilateral triangle
(sqrt(3))/4*s^2
Volume equation (cross section)
dV = A(x) * h
For volume, you equation is in terms of (x, y)
Whatever its perpendicular to
