I'm not sure if it's right. It looks weird. Here's what I did: first, I integrated the formula for the car that is breaking. \int^{6}_{0} 36-t2 dt Then I used the fundamental theorem of calculus. [36t-\frac{1}{3}t3]^{6}_{0} Which would be -(36(6)-\frac{1}{3}(6)3)=-144 I'm...

uart, I think I get what you're saying, but I'm still not sure what the area under a curve says about the function itself. In general I mean. From what DmytriE said, I'm assuming you could tell the amount of work done of an accelerating car? What units is that measured in? Joules?

Right after learning integrals in my first calculus class, this past summer, I realized that they never told us how integrals are actually applied to the real world. Why would I want to know the area in an interval bounded by the curve and the x-axis? What does that say about the function...

I don't know if it's a bad thing or not, but I'm interesting in most things that I come across. I love computer science (I'm no expert, but I like learning it. I'm currently trying to figure out linux after dual booting with windows), but I also like hands-on work. According to my...

Hello! This is my first post :D Most of my life, I've been wanting to be a medical doctor. I dumped that idea in 2008 (I graduated high school in 2009). Ever since then, it's been an off-and-on relationship. However, I ignore it because the reason I don't want to be a medical doctor is...
