Unit 6 - Integration & Accumulation of Change Flashcards
Area under the curve
Area between a function and the x-axis
If we have a RoC function, we can examine its graph and determine its
accumulation of change
Units for accumulation of change is determined by
dependent units by independent unitsl
Area under the x-axis is
negative accumulation of change
Riemann Sum
Approximation method by Bernhardt Riemann used to estimate accumulation of change
The more rectange there are,
the better approximation
How to calculate the width of rectangles
b - a / n where
a= lower limit
b= upper limit
n= number of rectangles
Left Riemann Sum
Left endpoints of each rectangles touches the function
width [combined height] = approximation
height determined by plugging value of left side into function
Right Riemann Sum
Right endpoints of each rectangles touches the function
width [combined height] = approximation
height determined by plugging value of right side into function
Midpoint Riemann Sum
Midpoints of each rectangles touches the function
width [combined height] = approximation
height determined by plugging value of midpoint into function
Trapezoidal Riemann Sum
Left endpoints of each rectangles touches the function
width [sum of (left value+right value/2)] = approximation
height determined by plugging values of left value+right value into function and dividing by 2
