Determine whether each of the statements that follow is true or false. If a statement is true, explain why. If a statement is false, provide a counterexample.
(a) True or False: The absolute area between the graph of f and the x-axis on [a, b] is equal to.
(b) True or False: The area of the region between f(x) = x 鈭 4 and g(x) = on the interval [鈭3, 3] is negative.
(c) True or False: The signed area between the graph of f on [a, b] is always less than or equal to the absolute area on the same interval.
(d) True or False: The area between any two graphs f and g on an interval [a, b] is given by .
(e) True or False: The average value of the function f(x) = on [2, 6] is
= = 17.(f) True or False: The average value of the function f(x) = on [2, 6] is = = 8.
(g) True or False: The average value of f on [1, 5] is equal to the average of the average value of f on [1, 2] and the average value of f on [2, 5].
(h) True or False: The average value of f on [1, 5] is equal to the average of the average value of f on [1, 3] and the average value of f on [3, 5].
As n approaches infinity this sequence of partial sums could either converge meaning that the terms eventually approach some finite limit or it could diverge to infinity meaning that the terms eventually grow without bound. which do you think is the case here and why?
Use integration formulas to solve each integral in Exercises 21鈥62. You may have to use algebra, educated guess and-check, and/or recognize an integrand as the result of a product, quotient, or chain rule calculation. Check each of your answers by differentiating.
Suppose f is positive on (鈭掆垶, 鈭1] and [2,鈭) and negative on the interval [鈭1, 2]. Write (a) the signed area and (b) the absolute area between the graph of f and the x-axis on [鈭3, 4] in terms of definite integrals that do not involve absolute values.
