Last time: Section 5.1 | Next time: More Section 5.2 |
Today:
Suppose that you clock your speed at each minute along a trip, in mph:
minute | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
speed (mph) | 0 | 30 | 45 | 30 | 70 | 65 | 70 | 70 | 45 | 30 | 35 |
and then we give a name to this area:
where P is a partition of the interval [a,b]:
where is the width of the largest subinterval, for the partition.
This is a preview of section 6.2, p. 315 -- the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals.
