7. 7 Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. The Variations 1.Functions f (x) and g(x) do not intersect. Values a and b are given explicitly. 2.Functions f (x) and g(x) intersect. Values a and b must be calculated algebraically or using INTERSECT feature of graphing calculator. 3.Functions f (x) and g(x) intersect at more than two points. All points of intersection must be calculated. Must identify which curve is above the other in each interval.

The Accumulation Function F (x)  The accumulation function of a function f (t), gives the accumulation of the area between the horizontal axis and the graph of f from a to x. (“Area accumulated so far.”)  The constant a is referred to as the starting value of the accumulation.

Applications of the Accumulation Function  If f (x) represents the rate of consumption of a beverage… o Then the integral of f is the actual amount of the beverage consumed in the time interval.  If f (x) represents a car’s velocity during a given time interval… o Then the integral of f is the total distance traveled during that time.
