Publishing as Pearson Addison-WesleyThe Area under a GraphOBJECTIVES Use the area under a graph to find total cost. Use rectangles to approximate the area under a graph.4.1Slide 4.1 - 3Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-WesleyExample 1: Covington Bakers determines that the cost, in cents per pound, of its sourdough bread iswhere x is the number of pounds of bread baked. Find the total cost of baking 140 lb of bread. Disregard fixed costs.We will use the area under the graph of c(x) to find the total cost of baking 140 lb of bread.4.1 The Area Under a Graphc(x)=−0.2x+125,x<5002Slide 4.1 - 4Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc.

Publishing as Pearson Addison-WesleyExample 2: Raggs, Ltd., determines that the marginal cost, in dollars, when suits are manufactured isIgnoring fixed costs, approximate the total cost of producing 400 suits by using four rectangles.4.1 The Area Under a Graph′C (x)=0.0008x2−0.45x+100.Slide 4.1 - 8Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-WesleyExample 2 (continued):SolutionWe divide the interval [0, 600] into four subintervals, each of length ∆x = 400/4=100. To determine the height of each rectangle, we use the left endpoint of each subinterval. 4.1 The Area Under a GraphSlide 4.1 - 9Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc.

Publishing as Pearson Addison-WesleyRiemann Sums:In Example 2, we approximated the total cost of manufacturing 400 suits. How might we make that approximation more exact? We do so by using more rectangles that have a narrower width. This type of calculation is most easily accomplished with the use of summation notation.4.1 The Area Under a GraphSlide 4.1 - 12Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-WesleyRiemann Sums (continued):In the following figure, [a, b] is divided into four subintervals, each having width ∆x = (b – a)/4.The heights of the rectangles are f (x1), f (x2), f (x3) and f (x4).4.1 The Area Under a Graph5Slide 4.1 - 13Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-WesleyRiemann Sums (concluded):The area of the region under the curve is approximately the sum of the areas of the four rectangles:We can denote this sum with summation, or sigma, notation, which uses the Greek capital letter sigma, or Σ:This is read “the sum of the product f (xi)∆x from i = 1 to i = 4.” To recover the original expression, we substitute the numbers 1 through 4 successively for i in f (xi)∆x and write plus signs between the results.4.1 The Area Under a Graphf x1()∆x+f x2()∆x+f x3()∆x+f x4()∆x.f xi( )∆xi=14∑, or i=14f xi( )∆x∑.Slide 4.1 - 14Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc.
