A Plot the function f x over the interval 1 10 Go to the wrench at the top right of your screen and change the x axis to be 0 11 with 1 0 step and y scale to be 0 2 with 0 5 step Uncheck the box for minor gridlines B Without using calculus just by looking at the graph try to find a rough estimate of the area between the graph of f x and the x axis from x 1 to x 2 Hint what is the area of each rectangle Repeat this for x going from 1 to 5 Although tedious and inaccurate the process you just followed could be repeated to get an estimate of the area from x 1 to x a for any a 1 For any value of a we input the output is a number i e a function F a the area between f x and the x axis from x 1 to x a C In Desmos define F a to be the integral from 1 to a of 1 x dx To get an integral in desmos type int and the integral sign will appear a Evaluate F 2 b Evaluate F 5 c Do your estimates match your answers from question 2
