Suppose you would like to find the area under the parabola
from 2 to some point x.
Since this area is a function x (it depends on the value of x we choose on the x-axis) we could call this F(x) or
You can type this integral as a function in one of the function slots.
In this example we are looking for a function that represents
the graph of the area under the function
picture.
How did it get this graph? Let's analyze the graph in stages. When you first hit GRAPH the calculator will first try to find
As long as the calculator is calculating area to the left of 2, the area will be negative. The area will be zero when the calculator is determining
When the calculator is finding the area from 2 to any point to the right of 2 the area will be positive and increasing.
So the final graph is
What would happen if you asked it to graph
