The rate at which water flows into a tank, litres per minute, is modelled by the function for , where is the time in minutes after pumping begins. The area under the graph of over this interval represents the total volume of water entering the tank.
A city is planning to build a new park. The shape of the park is defined by the region bounded by the curve , the -axis, and the vertical line , where and are measured in kilometers.
The height of a plant above the soil, cm, is modelled by the function for , where is the number of weeks since planting. The area under the graph of over this interval represents the accumulated height (in cm·weeks) over the weeks.
