Areas and Definite Integrals
Objectives Students will be able to Calculate a definite integral. Calculate the area between a curve and the x-axis over a given interval. Use definite integrals to application problems.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus For a continuous function f(x) over an interval [a, b], let F be any antiderivative of f. Then
