function of x
1
F (x) = x 2x = x2
2
The area of the triangle under the curve f (x) = 2x in the interval [0, x]:
F (x) = x2
The area of the triangle under the curve f (x) = 2x in the interval [0, x]:
F (x) = x2
Can you find a relationship between the function defining the curve f (x) = 2x
and the area function F (x) = x2 ?
The area of the triangle under the curve f (x) = 2x in the interval [0, x]:
F (x) = x2
Can you find a relationship between the function defining the curve f (x) = 2x
and the area function F (x) = x2 ?
F 0 (x) = f (x)
The area of the triangle under the curve f (x) = 2x in the interval [0, x]:
F (x) = x2
Can you find a relationship between the function defining the curve f (x) = 2x
and the area function F (x) = x2 ?
F 0 (x) = f (x)
The derivative of the area function is the function defining the curve!
