6.1 Exploring Accumulations of Change

Cards (19)

  • Accumulation of change refers to the total amount that a quantity has increased or decreased over a given interval
  • If \( f(x) \) represents the velocity of an object, then \( \int_a^b f(x) \, dx \) calculates the total displacement
    True
  • To calculate the total distance traveled by a vehicle with velocity \( v(t) = 2t^2 \) m/s over the interval \( [1, 5] \) seconds, the definite integral is \( \int_1^5 2t^2 \, dt
  • The accumulation of change over an interval is mathematically calculated using a definite integral.
  • The definite integral of velocity calculates total displacement.

    True
  • Steps to set up a definite integral to model the accumulation of change
    1️⃣ Identify the rate function
    2️⃣ Define the interval
    3️⃣ Assemble the integral
  • What definite integral calculates the total distance traveled by a vehicle with velocity \( v(t) = 2t^2 \) m/s over the interval [1, 5] seconds?
    \int_1^5 2t^2 \, dt
  • Steps to calculate a definite integral using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
    1️⃣ Find the antiderivative
    2️⃣ Evaluate at limits
    3️⃣ Subtract values
  • Match the type of accumulation with its calculation and explanation:
    Net Accumulation ↔️ \int_a^b f(x) \, dx, change considering direction
    Total Accumulation ↔️ \int_a^b |f(x)| \, dx, overall change without direction
  • The accumulation of change is mathematically represented by an integral
    True
  • The accumulation of a quantity over an interval can be calculated using a definite integral
  • Steps to set up a definite integral for modeling the accumulation of change
    1️⃣ Identify the rate function
    2️⃣ Define the interval
    3️⃣ Assemble the integral
  • The definite integral \( \int_a^b f(t) \, dt \) calculates the total displacement if \( f(t) \) represents velocity
    True
  • What does the accumulation of change measure over an interval?
    Total increase or decrease
  • The start and end points of the interval in a definite integral are called the limits of integration.
  • Match the component of a definite integral with its description:
    Limits of Integration ↔️ Start and end points of the interval
    Integrand ↔️ Rate function defining the rate of change
    Differential ↔️ Variable with respect to integration
  • The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is used to calculate definite integrals by finding the antiderivative of the integrand.
  • What is the value of \( \int_1^3 (3x^2 + 2) \, dx \) using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus?

  • To find the net amount of water added to a tank from \( t = 0 \) to \( t = 4 \) minutes with a rate of \( r(t) = 2t \) gallons per minute, the definite integral is \( \int_0^4 2t \, dt \), which equals 16 gallons.
