Question

For example, a definite integral of a velocity function gives the accumulated distance over the period. You should also be growing more comfortable with how the units work – for example, integrating meters per second with respect to seconds gives meters.Your job is to find an article that refers to a definite integral. It is possible that you will be able to find an explicit mention of a definite integral. Much more likely, though, the definite integral will be implied – the article will actually be about accumulated change. You may look on the Internet, or in any newspaper, magazine, or trade journal. Your example must come from a setting outside of calculus. In particular, you may not use any example from our textbook, any other math textbook, or any other discussion 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 the definite integral. 2. Write a few sentences telling what the integrand (the function inside the integral) represents, what the limits of integration are, and what the definite integral represents.3. Assign some letters to the variables here. Using the letters/variables you have chosen, write the definite integral that you have found. Show that the units work properly in your example. (I do not expect you to compute anything here.)
