Interpretations of the Definite Integral

Guided Notes for this lecture

Now that we understand the information that area under the curve gives us, we need to make sure we understand the units that result from our calculations.

Let's combine our calculations with our understanding of units to practice some advanced examples.

One important application of area under the curve and units is Bioavailability of a drug.

At the end of this section you should be able to answer the following questions:

1. How are the units of the derivative related to the units of the definite integra?
2. why are the units important to our calculations?
