hmm. well from what i can see its basically just a way to plot the integral of x^2. unless its a graphical method to calculate integrals. (which is not all that complicated).

but before i can go further, i need u to translate the ubersumme and untersumme for me. infact it mite just be better to post a precise translation of the entire question/problem.

ps: tyr, its more likely he has to plot the integral of f(x), where the function is x^2. even if it was integral of f(x) = x^2, the answer would be 2x not x.

Lets see if I remember the mathlessons. I am not sure this is right, but this is how I remember it

The integral of x^2 is not 2x. 2x is the derivate of x^2, integral is the other way around. x^2 is the integral of 2x + C (any constant to find out how much above the y=0 line the curve is).

since the derivate of Ax^y + C -> A*yx^y-1 (the constant is removed) then you have to find out what the function to calculate the derivate from would look like to get x^2

I think like this

x^2 = Ax^y where A=1 and y=2

So first you have to add 1 to y which gives Ax^y+1 = x^3
Then you have to figure out what number to multiply with A to get 1 which is 1/3

So f(x) = x^2 gives the integral A*1/3*x^3 + C (You remove the C when you derivate so you have to add it to the integral)

x^3 + C

nicely argued. except u havent touched upon the fact that its a fixed integral with limits, and ur supposed to plot the function not the area. unless otherwise mentioned.

as i said. if u have the problem statement, have it translated and post it. its not that hard a problem. but without knowing the exact statement, ur probly gonna interpret it wrong and fuck it up. .

this is right.

i just finished doing integrals and derivates
thank god its over. yuck. :pukeleft:

omfg my maths was so much easier go away nerds
