    WOW!! I didn’t know that way of seeing that the area under a curve is just its antiderivative. I will save this video :) you saved me in an assignment and now YT is recommending yours videos (I am glad it does 👍🏻👍🏻)

      Yeah both derivatives and integrals are basically just geometric interpretations of slope. That is what the "little shapes" mentioned in the video actually are. Geometric interpretations taken to be thinner and thinner until it becomes the integral instead...

      @yosoy9766 Před rokem

      @@seagulyus9251 The integral is definitely not a geometric interpretation of the slope. An integral is the continuous analog of asummation. Its geometrical interpretation would be the area under a curve which is not very precise since this only the case when dealing with R to R functions. There are also many types of integrals like line integral or complex ones where the result might be complex which wouldn’t make any sense if we think about it in therms of area.

      I was talking about real functions, specifically the original formulas used to build derivative and integration were visualized using geometric interpretations of slope and trapezoids.
      It is just that how I was taught integrals was...going from geometric interpretations to cutting the distance between x's down to delta x and then we were there.
      I highly doubt anyone that anyone seeing this video as helpful would deal with either line integrals or complex integrals enough that explaining the detailed nuances of each would be worthwhile y'know? Especially when real integrals are the ones students deal with, and geometric is basically the way to help most of them see what it is they need to do.

    Thank you so much! I'm self-studying calculus and I was scouring the internet for an explnation as to how an indefinite integral actually relates to area, and every source kept repeating "antiderivative." They did not relate the term "antiderivative" to area at all, and this is the first video which actually bridged the gap for me. Thank you so much for the video! Just to clarify, an indefinite integral of a function will provide you the area of the original function from x=0 to any x-input you specify directly into the integral function, right?

    • @tomas_soeterik
      @tomas_soeterik Před 6 měsíci

      Well an indefinite has the constant C, so its not like it really gives a area, but when it has two bounds/limits the constant C isn’t an unkown value anymore because you can compare both of the anti derivatives (two bounds)
      But I cant so more cuz I also aint a pro at this yet

    A(x+h)-A(x) doesn't have to be between f(x)*h and f(x+h)*h but could instead be bigger or smaller than both right? Also if the graph goes downward surely the greater than signs would have to be reversed so with a not specific graph like the one you used for the example you wouldn't be able to make an assumption like that.

      since we defined A(x+h)=h*f(x+h). the definition of area of a rectangle is l*w so by saying A(x+h) by this very operation it makes it the area function (probably would sound better if I explained verbally)
