Applications of Integrals: Area Under Curves
Students will use definite integrals to calculate the area of regions bounded by curves.
Key Questions
- Analyze how definite integrals represent the accumulation of quantities.
- Compare the calculation of area above the x-axis with area below the x-axis.
- Design a problem where finding the area between two curves is essential.
