                          Average valuł of function over interval
                          Let f(x) be a function that is continuouð over the domain from
                          x   a tmx   b, where a and b are real numberð and a   b. Let
                          F(x) be the antiderivative of f(x). Then the average value, A,mf
                          f(x) over the open, half-open, or closed interval bounded by a
                          and b is given by the following formulł (Fig. 3.24):


                                               A   (F(b)   F(a))/(b   a)
