AP CALCULUS AB CHAPTER 4, SECTION 2(ISH) Area 2013 – 2014 Revised
Area under a curve We can approach the area under a curve by using Geometry. We use above and below rectangles (sometimes called ______________________________ or ______________________________.)
Use 5 rectangles to find two approximations of the area of the region lying between the graph of the given function and the x-axis between x=0 and x=2.
Use 4 rectangles to find two approximations of the area under the curve between the graph of the given function and the x-axis between x=1 and x=3.
Use 4 rectangles to find one approximation (using mid- points) of the area under the curve between the graph of the given function and the x-axis between x=1 and x=3.
Equations we can use Left endpoint of each rectangle: Right endpoint of each rectangle: Mid-point of each rectangle:
