Average Value of Functions Section 5.3b
First, remind me… How do you find the average of n numbers? Sum the numbers and divide by n !!! Our New Challenge: How do we find the average value of an arbitrary function f over a closed interval [a, b]???
Does this look familiar??? We take a large sample of n numbers from regular subintervals of the interval [a, b], taking number from each subinterval of length The average value of the n sampled values is Does this look familiar???
So what happens as n approached infinity? We take a large sample of n numbers from regular subintervals of the interval [a, b], taking number from each subinterval of length The average value of the n sampled values is Can you say RIEMANN SUM??? So what happens as n approached infinity?
Definition: Average (Mean) Value If is integrable on [a, b], its average (mean) value on [a, b] is
The Mean Value Theorem for Definite Integrals If f is continuous on [a, b], then at some point c in [a, b], The value f (c) in the MVT is, in a sense, the average (or mean) height of f on [a, b]. When f > 0, the area of the shaded rectangle a c b is the area under the graph of f from a to b. b – a
The average value of the Find the average value of the given function on [0, 3]. Does the function actually take on this value at some point on the interval? Use NINT!!! The average value of the function on [0, 3] is 1. The function assumes this value when Since this x value lies in the interval [0, 3], the function does assume its average value in the given interval.
The rectangle with base [0, 3] and with height equal to 1 (the average Find the average value of the given function on [0, 3]. Does the function actually take on this value at some point on the interval? The average value of the function on [0, 3] is 1. The function assumes this value when 4 The rectangle with base [0, 3] and with height equal to 1 (the average value of the function) has area equal to the net area between f and the x-axis from 0 to 3. 4 –5
