We have seen that the area under the graph of a function y=f(x) and above the x-axis can be approximated by using a series of calculated areas of rectangular regions. Using more rectangles will yield a more accurate approximation. In fact, we found that the exact area could be compute by finding the limit of an infinite number of rectangular regions. lim (01 f(x,)&x Heren is the number of rectangles, fis a function evaluated at an x-value in each rectangle, and Ax is the width of the rectangles. If n is a finite number then we have only computed an approximate area. By determining the limit as n goes to infinity, we find the exact area. 100 14 13 We now wish to develop a simple means of finding that same area using another calculus-based method, a principal known as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Development We already found the area bounded by the function f(t)= 2: +3 on the interval from t = 1 and t = 4 using geometrical concepts. 1(0-21+3 1. Find the area of the shaded region using the formula for the area of a trapezoid, A= (b₂ + b₂). 2. Using the same formula, calculate the area bounded by the graph of f(t) from t = 1 totex.
