For example, a definite integral of a velocity function givesthe accumulated distance over the period. You should also begrowing more comfortable with how the units work – for example,integrating meters per second with respect to seconds givesmeters.Your job is to find an article that refers to a definiteintegral. It is possible that you will be able to find an explicitmention of a definite integral. Much more likely, though, thedefinite integral will be implied – the article will actually beabout accumulated change. You may look on the Internet, or in anynewspaper, magazine, or trade journal. Your example must come froma setting outside of calculus. In particular, you may not use anyexample from our textbook, any other math textbook, or any otherdiscussion of calculus you find online.
1. A copy of the article with complete source information.Highlight or write the part of the article that mentions thedefinite integral. 2. Write a few sentences telling what theintegrand (the function inside the integral) represents, what thelimits of integration are, and what the definite integralrepresents.3. Assign some letters to the variables here. Using theletters/variables you have chosen, write the definite integral thatyou have found. Show that the units work properly in your example.(I do not expect you to compute anything here.)
