Calculus I

You can navigate through this E-Book using the menu to the left. For E-Books that have a Chapter/Section organization each option in the menu to the left indicates a chapter and will open a menu showing the sections in that chapter. Alternatively, you can navigate to the next/previous section or chapter by clicking the links in the boxes at the very top and bottom of the material.

Also, depending upon the E-Book, it will be possible to download the complete E-Book, the chapter containing the current section and/or the current section. You can do this be clicking on the E-Book, Chapter, and/or the Section link provided below.

For those pages with mathematics on them you can, in most cases, enlarge the mathematics portion by clicking on the equation. Click the enlarged version to hide it.

In this last chapter of this course we will be taking a look at a couple of applications of integrals.  There are many other applications, however many of them require integration techniques that are typically taught in Calculus II.  We will therefore be focusing on applications that can be done only with knowledge taught in this course.

 

Because this chapter is focused on the applications of integrals it is assumed in all the examples that you are capable of doing the integrals.  There will not be as much detail in the integration process in the examples in this chapter as there was in the examples in the previous chapter.

 

Here is a listing of applications covered in this chapter.

 

Average Function Value  We can use integrals to determine the average value of a function.

 

Area Between Two Curves  In this section we’ll take a look at determining the area between two curves.

 

Volumes of Solids of Revolution / Method of Rings  This is the first of two sections devoted to find the volume of a solid of revolution.  In this section we look that the method of rings/disks.

 

Volumes of Solids of Revolution / Method of Cylinders  This is the second section devoted to finding the volume of a solid of revolution.  Here we will look at the method of cylinders.

 

More Volume Problems  In this section we’ll take a look at find the volume of some solids that are either not solids of revolutions or are not easy to do as a solid of revolution.

 

Work  The final application we will look at is determining the amount of work required to move an object.
