  2. Accumulation & Functions Defined by Integrals • Or Thoughts on My Favorite Equation!

  3. The goals of the AP Calculus program include the statement, “Students should understand the definite integral … as the net accumulation of change….”[1] The Topical Outline includes the topic the “definite integral of the rate of change of a quantity over an interval interpreted as the [net] change of the quantity over the interval: ”

  4. Final Value = Starting Value + Accumulated Change

  5. Final Position = Initial Position + Displacement

  9. AP Example from 2008 AB 7 • A particle moves along the x-axis with velocity given by • for time . If the particle is at the position • x = 2 at time t = 0, what is the position of the particle • at time t = 1?

  10. AP Example from 2008 AB 87 An object traveling in a straight line has position x(t) at time t. If the initial position is x(0) = 2 and the velocity of the object is , what is the position of the object at t = 3?

  11. AP Example from 1997 BC 89 If f is an antiderivative of such that f (1) = 0 Then f (4) =

  12. AP Example from 2008 AB 81 • If G(x) is an antiderivative for f (x) and G(2) = -7, • then G(4) = • (A) f ´(4) (B) -7 + f ´(4) (C) • (D) (E)

  13. A quick look at some free-response questions • 2008 AB2 / BC2 • 2008 AB 3 • 2008 AB4 / BC 4 • 2000 AB 4 • 2010 AB 1

  14. 2009 AB 6 M The x-intercepts are x = - 2 and x= 3ln(5/3) = M With the initial condition f (0) = 5

  15. f (0) = 5 Find f (4) M

  16. f (0) = 5 Find f (-4) M

  17. f (0) = 5 Find f (-4) M

  18. Find the x-coordinate of the absolute maximum value and justify your answer. M = 3ln(5/3) M

  19. and since f ´(x) ≥ 0 on [-4, M ] it follows that f (M) > f (-4). M

  20. and since on [M, 4] £ 0 it follows that f (M) > f (4) M

  21. Since M is the only critical number in the interval [-4, 4] and f (M) > f (-4) and f (M) > f (4), x = M is the location of the absolute maximum value by the Candidates’ Test. M
