The Definite Integral

You may find it useful to print out the guided notes to fill in while watching the video.   

Now that we understand how area under the derivative curve can help us understand the original function, we make this more accurate by introducing the definite integral.

Let's practice some setting up and solving some examples.

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

  1. What does each number and symbol on the definite integral represent?
  2. How do we set up definite integrals to represent the model we are analyzing?
