Integral help?? Pretty please? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For -1 ≤ x ≤ 1, F(x) = the integral from -1 to x for sqrt(1 - t^2) dt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does F(1) represent geometrically? Evaluate F(1) and find F'(x). Thanks for any help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can find F'(x) and evaluate F(1) but I don't know what F(1) represents geometrically.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think substitution method will help put t= cos(theta) first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find F'(x) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I haven't learned about trig substitution yet...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How can I get the answer without that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Can you help with the first question? What does f(1) mean geometrically?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in order to determine f(1) geometrically we need to know what is f(x) first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i feel something wrong as x is going from -1 to 1 and t is going from -1 to x (which is not possible as per the problem)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks for trying. :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

f(1) represents a point on the function at x=1 f' represents the slope of the tangent line to the function at a given x value

OpenStudy (amistre64):

integral ... F(x), the integral of f(t) represents the area under the curve f(t) from 0 to x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

F(1) defines a limit along the interval an endpoint to contain the area within.
