chapter 6 (applications of integrals) Flashcards
find positionat the end of a given interval given the velocity equation
it is the integral over the given bounds of the velocity equations
given the initial position and an equation for the velocityfind the final positon
integrate the velocity equation
find c by plugging in the initial position 1
find the velocity equation given the speed at a certain time and an equation for acceleration
the equation is found by integrating the acceleration equation and finding c with the given velocity and time
find the net change of Q that changes over time
this is the integral from a to b of
finding the area in between curves on the bounds of a to b
the integral from a to b of the greater function minus the smaller function int(a to b) (fx-gx)dx
how do you determine the greater function
whichever one is higher up
what if there is an absolute value as one of the curves
you must find the area in 2 separate parts the negative will end up canceling out on the left side of the curve.
how to find the area in between curves with respect to y
switch the functions to be y dependent
find the greater function relative to the y axis
integrate(g(y)-l(y))
general slicing method
a way to find area using general slices
how to use the general slicing method
- find the function for the area of a cross section
- find the area function in terms of the determanant given function
- integrate on the bounds of the function.
int(a to b) of A(r(x))dx
disk method
used to find volume of a shape by rotating it about an axis
disk method how to
- find the function that determines the radius relative to the axis
- use the equation int(atob) (pi*(radius equation)^2)
washer method
a section is rotated about an axis however there is a gap in between them
washer method how to
- find the radius that determines the outer edge of the washer. (fx)
- find the radius that determines the inner side of the area (gx)
- find the bounds (the width of the washer)
- use dis int(atob) pi*(f(x)^2-g(x)^2)
washer method on the y axis.
do it the same way as on the x axis but with a function relative to y
