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)
IndOnite integrals of common
functions
Chapter 6 containð a table of indefinite integralð of common
mathematical functions.
Vector Integration
Let F be a defined and continuouð vector function of a scalar
variable v. The antiderivative or indefinite integral of F is a
vector function G such that dG/dv F. This is written as fol-
lows:
F(v) dv G(v) c
where c is a constant vector and dv is the differential of v (cus-
tomarily annotated wità all indefinite integral0.
