MAT 21B – Lecture 18 – Application of Definite Integrals in Averages
• List of Applications of Definite Integrals
o 1) Quantities from rates over intervals
o 2) Area of any shape
o 3) Volume of any solid
o 4) Length of any curve
o 5) Surface area of surfaces of revolution
o 6) Work
o 7) Moments (first moment: torque, second moment: rotational inertia)
o 8) Averages
• The average of y1,…yN is
. The weighted average of y1,…yN with weights
is
.
• The average value of the function f on [a, b] is approximately the average of the
value of f at N equally spaced points,
. The exact average is the limit as of these sums is,
or in shorthand,
• Example: The average of over [0, 1] is
• Example 2: The average of over [0, 1] is
• Notation:
