2.2 Accumulated area function
Applet explorations
1) The point labelled ‘Area’ tracks the accumulated area between points A and B. What happens to the graph of this area function as you move point B? What happens to the graph of this area function as you move point A? Why?
2) What happens when A is at -2 and B is at 2? Why?
3) Does this graph match your prediction from activity 2.1 (Intro to integration)?
4) Change the function (just type your new function into the box) and try to predict the graph of the new area function.
