Bloackd!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Blocked*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can't see the image?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Nah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok \[g(0)=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because for one thing \[\int_a^a f(t)dt=0\] always

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first answer was 100% correct, satellite. :) You have the others as well?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and here you have \[g(x)=\int _0^xf(t)dt\] and thus \[g(0)=\int_0^0f(t)dt=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are computing areas using the formula for triangles or rectangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[g(1)=\int_0^1f(t)dt\] and that area is 2 since you have a rectangle with base 1 and height 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[g(2)=\int_0^2f(t)dt\] and that area is 4+1=5. there is a square with base 2 and height 2, plus that triangle on top with base 2 and height 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[g(3)=\int_0^3f(t)dt=5+2=7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 5 from the previous area plus that triangle with base 1 and height 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[g(4)=\int_0^4f(t)dt = 6.5\] and i know this was not asked for but it is the area above the curve which we know is 7 minus the area below which is .5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[g(5)=\int_0^5f(t)dt=7-2=5\] again the area above minus the area below. i know this wasn't asked for either but i hope it is clear where i am getting these numbers from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Satellite, you poor guy...this is the most brilliant explanation I've seen on OpenStudy yet...the answers alone would suffice, mate! :) is there any way i can give you more than one medal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and \[g(6)=\int_0^6f(t)dt = 7-4-3\] again area above curve minus area below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i appreciate what i assume is a compliment, and more to the point i hope it is entirely clear where these numbers are coming from. i am just computing the area below the graph and above the x - axis. if the graph is below the x - axis that area comes with a minus sign. good luck on the rest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, what about the interval/maximum value??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and yes it was definitely a compliment lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you were on a roll there, i didnt mean to stop you !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it is increasing where f is above the x - axis because there the areas are positive and so you keep adding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just as i did when computing them. once the area is below it is obviously decreasing as we saw. for example \[g(6)<g(5)<g(4)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and finally the maximum value for \[g(x)=\int_0^xf(t)dt\] would be at 3, because that is where f goes from being positive to negative, so you have reached the greatest area there. the rest will come in negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are brilliant, sir. I salute you
