Integration and Area
- Integration and Area Part One
Use this interactive file to understand how anti-differentiation allows us to integrate or find the area between a continuous function and the x-axis. Also learn how the trapezoidal rule may be used to estimate the area.
Instructions:
- Drag the slider to change the quadratic function.
- Click on the blue check box to show the area bounded by the function and the x-axis as calculated using integration.
- Click on the red check box to show an estimate of this area using the trapezoidal rule.
- Drag the slider n to change the number of trapezia used in the estimation of the area.
