OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

You'll need knowledge the corollary to the FTC here.Do you understand the relationship between the area under a function and its integral?

OpenStudy (amy0799):

yes

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

So what is another relationship between F(x) and f(x)?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

or rather, what is the relationship after having applied the corollary to the FTC (sometimes mistaken as the FTC itself)?

OpenStudy (amy0799):

I've never heard of corollary to the FTC before

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Don't worry about it, you probably know it as the FTC itself

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Graphically, what is F(x) given f(x)?

OpenStudy (amy0799):

aren't they the same?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

no....

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle {\rm F}(x)=\left.\int\limits_1^x f(t)~dt={\rm F}(t)\right|_1^x={\rm F}(x)-{\rm F}(1) }\) \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle ={\rm F}(x)-{\rm F}(1) }\) Therefore, F(4) is going to be, \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle ={\rm F}(4)-{\rm F}(1) }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So, alternatively, that is the area between the f(x) and the x-axis, on the interval \(x \in \{1,4\}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You can also see that the area on the interval [3 , 3.5], and the area [3.5 , 4] have the same magnitude, EXCEPT that the first one is negative and the other one is positive, and thus they cancel themselves out.

OpenStudy (amy0799):

so i calculate the area of the semi-circle, the rectangle on top, and the triangle?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, exactly! A rectangle 2 units by 1 unit. Plus the area of the half-circle.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

the triangles cancel out

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes.

OpenStudy (amy0799):

so just semi-circle and rectangle?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes.

OpenStudy (amy0799):

is it -2-(pi/2)?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, very good!

OpenStudy (amy0799):

Thank you!
