2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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 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.

5. 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.
