Question

Sketch the graph and find the area of the region described below.
f(x)=x^2-7x+12

once graphed find the area x=3 to x=4 under the graph.

Answer 1

it's a parabola.

Answer 2

Do i take the anti-derivative first then graph?

Answer 3

Answer 4

you graph first to get an idea of what the area under the curve looks like

Answer 5

then you take the antiderivative to get the indefinite integral...which you'll use to find the definite integral (to get the area under the curve from x = 3 to x = 4)

Answer 6

i am not understanding the graph part. I do not get the same graph when I use my graphing calculator

Answer 7

you should be getting this graph
