Bloackd!
what?

You can't see the image?
Nah
ok \[g(0)=0\]
because for one thing \[\int_a^a f(t)dt=0\] always
The first answer was 100% correct, satellite. :) You have the others as well?
and here you have \[g(x)=\int _0^xf(t)dt\] and thus \[g(0)=\int_0^0f(t)dt=0\]
yeah sure
you are computing areas using the formula for triangles or rectangles
\[g(1)=\int_0^1f(t)dt\] and that area is 2 since you have a rectangle with base 1 and height 2
\[g(2)=\int_0^2f(t)dt\] 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
\[g(3)=\int_0^3f(t)dt=5+2=7\]
the 5 from the previous area plus that triangle with base 1 and height 4
\[g(4)=\int_0^4f(t)dt = 6.5\] 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
\[g(5)=\int_0^5f(t)dt=7-2=5\] 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
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?
and \[g(6)=\int_0^6f(t)dt = 7-4-3\] again area above curve minus area below
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.
Wait, what about the interval/maximum value??
and yes it was definitely a compliment lol
you were on a roll there, i didnt mean to stop you !
well it is increasing where f is above the x - axis because there the areas are positive and so you keep adding
just as i did when computing them. once the area is below it is obviously decreasing as we saw. for example \[g(6)<g(5)<g(4)\]
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
You are brilliant, sir. I salute you
