Math Problem Statement

If the graph of f(x) is as shown over the interval from 0 ≤ x ≤ 8, draw the following integral functions: a. F_1 = ∫[0,x] f(t) dt, b. F_2 = ∫[0,x] f(t) dt.

Solution

This problem asks you to graph the integral functions for the given piecewise function f(x)f(x), with two parts (a) and (b).

Part a:

The function F1(x)=0xf(t)dtF_1(x) = \int_0^x f(t) \, dt is the integral of f(x)f(x) from 0 to xx, meaning the area under the curve from x=0x = 0 to the point of interest.

Part b:

The function F2(x)=0xf(t)dtF_2(x) = \int_0^x f(t) \, dt is similar to part (a), but this time you're integrating the function f(x)f(x) from 0 to xx (the problem seems to repeat the same form for both parts, with different starting points for the integral).

Steps to solve:

  • Analyze the graph of f(x)f(x) to compute the area under the curve (integrals).
  • Use the values from the graph of f(x)f(x) to plot the corresponding values for F1(x)F_1(x) and F2(x)F_2(x).
    • In regions where f(x)f(x) is positive, the integral will increase.
    • In regions where f(x)f(x) is negative, the integral will decrease.

To proceed, could you confirm if you need help visualizing these integrals or any specific steps for the graph?
