@ganeshie8 FTC

OpenStudy (precal):

just when I thought I understood the concept, then I get these problems

OpenStudy (precal):

38 is 4 using FTC

OpenStudy (precal):

I have not clue how to do 39 or 40

OpenStudy (precal):

what am I overlooking?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since the given graph itself is \(f'(x)\), integral gives area under that graph

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Note that in the earlier question, we're given the graph of \(f(x)\)

OpenStudy (precal):

yes you are correct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\int_0^7 f'(x) dx\) = area under the given graph

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

break it into triangles/rectangles and add up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one you stuck at?

OpenStudy (precal):

no I can redo 38 still don't know what to do with 39 and 40

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we can use FTC for them

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for 39, try below : \(f(0) - f(-3) = \int_{-3}^0 f'(x) dx\)

OpenStudy (precal):

ok got it, will be able to do 39 and 40 now. 38 is 9

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(f(3) - f(0) = \int_{0}^3 f'(x) dx\) *

OpenStudy (precal):

f(3)=-6

OpenStudy (precal):

f(7)=-7

OpenStudy (precal):

thanks you are awesome :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

9 is correct for 38

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how did u get f(3) = -6 ?

OpenStudy (precal):

f(0)-f(3)= integral (sorry too lazy to type it) 0 to 3 f'(x)dx -3-f(3)=3 -f(3)=6 f(3)=-6

OpenStudy (precal):

did I do something incorrect?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(f(3) - f(0) = \int_0^3 f'(x) dx\) \(f(3) - f(0) = 3\) \(f(3) -(-3) = 3\) \(f(3) = 0\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

It is always : (end value) - (initial value)

OpenStudy (precal):

omg maybe I have reached my limit of math today

OpenStudy (precal):

ok I will fix 40

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hahah same for #40 also : \ok...

OpenStudy (precal):

f(7)=5 I feel like the student who has been corrected by the teacher (once again)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

All good teachers are good students too :)

OpenStudy (precal):

lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

f(7) = 5 looks good !
