Topic 8.3: Using Accumulation Functions and Definite Integrals in Applied Contexts

Learning Objective: CHA-4.D

Interpret the meaning of a definite integral in accumulation problems.

Essential Knowledge: CHA-4.D.1

A function defined as an integral represents an accumulation of a rate of change.

Essential Knowledge: CHA-4.D.2

The definite integral of the rate of change of a quantity over an interval gives the net change of that quantity over that interval.

Learning Objective: CHA-4.E

Determine net change using definite integrals in applied contexts.

Essential Knowledge: CHA-4.E.1

The definite integral can be used to express information about accumulation and net change in many applied contexts.
