Average Value of Functions
Refer to Khan academy: Average value over a closed interval Refer to video: Average Value of a Function on an Interval
Calculating
Favg
is just to get the actual area of the function, and then "reform" it to a rectangle, then divide it by its width, then you get the height.
Strategy:
Calculate the function's
integral
, which is theActual area of the function
Calculate the
Interval
, which is theimaginary rectangle's width
.Divide the area by width to get the
Average value of function
, which is the height.
Mean value theorem for integrals

It actually IS the
