Applied Calculus (MAT 121)Dr. Day Wednesday, March 28, 2012 Calculating Antiderivatives (6.1) and Area Under a Curve (6.3) MAT 121
Integration Big Ideas • What is an antiderivative, how do we determine one, and how do we represent it with symbols? • How can we determine the area under a curve or trapped between two curves, and how does the integral relate to that? • The definite integral of a rate function gives use an accumulation. • The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Connecting derivatives and integrals. MAT 121
Antiderivatives, Integrals, and Initial Value Problems • Knowing f’, can we determine f ? General and specific solutions: The antiderivative. • The integral symbol: Representing antiderivatives • Initial Value Problems: Transforming a general antiderivative into a specific function that satisfies the given information. MAT 121
If we know a rate function . . . Carlota Music Company estimates that the marginal cost of manufacturing its Professional Series guitars is given by the following in dollars/month when the level of production is x guitars/month: C'(x) = 0.004x + 50. The fixed costs incurred by Carlota are $9000/month. Determine a model for the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month. MAT 121
Approximating Area: Riemann Sums To generate a way to calculate the area under the curve of a rate function, in order to determine an accumulation, we begin with AREA APPROXIMATIONS. We create something called a Riemann Sum and use better and better area approximations that will lead to exact area. MAT 121
