Let f be a continuous fuction whose graph is shown above(the graph start at (-3,3), and goes to the right with a slope of zero until (0,3), then the graph decreases with a slope of -1 until the point (6,-3), where it then goes to the right with a slope of zero to the point (9,-3)) and let h(x)=integral from -2 to x of f(t) dt.
1) Find the zeros of h. Justify your answer.
2) On what interval is h increasing? Show the analysis that leads to your conclusion.
3) What is h(0)?
4) For x is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 6, express h in terms of x.

The integral gives the area under the curve.
So the integral from -2 to x will be the area under the curve between -2 and x. Keep in mind that the integral is positive when f(x) is above the x-axis and negative when f(x) is below the x-axis.

1. h will equal zero when the area above the x-axis equals the area below the x-axes.
2. h is increasing when f(x) is above the x-axis.
3. h(0) is the area of the triangle formed between x=-2 and x=0
4. find the equation of the line for the interval from 0 to 6. Integrate this from 0 to x to get the area between 0 and x. Then add the area that's on the interval from -2 to 0 which is h(0) from question 3.

1) what are zeros
2) as f(t) is the derivative
+ve gradient is from (0,3)-(-3,3)
3)
4) d^2y/dx^2= -1
dy/dx= -x +c
x=0,y'=3 3=0+c
c=3
h(x)=y= -x^/2 +3x+k
for k u need to know h(0)

the 1st person to respond to has have been given you began. in case you proceed properly you will discover that ok is an undemanding fraction and that the time to empty is an interger type of hours yet bigger than you are able to wager.
