What are the most common mistakes students make in Applications of Integrals?
it gives signed area, so parts below the x-axis subtract; for total area, split at the roots and add absolute values.
Top mistakes to avoid in Applications of Integrals: • it gives signed area, so parts below the x-axis subtract; for total area, split at the roots and add absolute values. • treating area below the x-axis as positive. • thinking integration only computes geometric area.
