For my HW question I have to take the velocity from an acceleration vs time graph at a certain time.

How do I do this? I was sure that the velocity was the area underneath the curve but its not coming out right at all.

Please help! Thanks

The area under the acceleration graph gives the change in velocity. You still need to know what the velocity was initially, or at some other specified time.
