The general idea is this - final minus initial.

Now i know you might be thinking "well duh" but you kinda gotta look at a proof of it to understand. That is what I would recommend first.

The general idea is this though - let's consider an integration over this region from 0. We know that base times height gives us the area of it. So since it starts from the origin, we can do that calculation pretty easily.

Now consider a triangle. We know the equation for that. But what if it didn't start at the origin? Well we could still find the base measurement by taking the final x coordinate minus the initial x coordinate.

Well as it turns out, integration is the same as finding the area of a surface. That's what the FTC is capitalizing on - you can simplify almost any figure into a base times height problem.

Now what goes on in the background of this is KIND OF black magic and I admit it myself. But I think a triangle is a pretty good way to see what is happening. Take a function x, which is the slope of a triangle. (duh) the integral of that is what we recognize as the area of the triangle. We know that works obviously and we talked about the final minus initial method for the measurements. Right? You'll find that if you just keep coming up with functions that have a shape, integrating over them gives you the simple area equation you know and love. (go ahead and see if you want)

So, it's what happens in between that is black magic. It turns out that when you do this, you are taking an infinite amount of slivers underneath your function, and when you take final minus initial, math (again, you need to look up a proof for this I imagine) works in a way that you are taking all those slivers and adding the area of said slivers to get an area. It's kind of neat.

Don't know if this helps since I don't know why you are hung up on it, but

Could having a broken leg increase your chances of having a DVT?

>pic related, it's everyone in the comment section

While I might seem idiotic for asking this, would it be scientifically possible for an electromagnetic force from a magnet with enough teslas/magnetic flux/electromagnetism to create a temporary, or possibly even permanent, 'atmosphere' around a ship? I realize it would likely take a large amount of power to get the magnet to work - and let alone form an electromagnetic shield - but theoretically, would it be possible for a ship sometime in the future, 20-40 years, to do so?
And if this is true, would it also be possible for the magnetic fields to, once in the vacuum of space of course in order to preserve fuel, move whatever the object may be by simply using the polar opposite ends?
I'd appreciate an answer, but either way I'm most likely going to research this myself.
Pic unrelated.

thanks for the though... This thread has been immensely informative

Thanks, all this is much appreciated. Evidentally quantum theory will be my precursor to particle physics, which is fine, I have a few books on that.

That was beautiful... posting in epic bread!

Is the perception of time flowing in one direction an artifact of the laws of thermodynamics, and we perceive time as flowing in the direction of increasing entropy?

If so, why? inb4 not falsifiable banter ingrate lelelel.

So I assume that increased bloodflow would mean a shortfall somewhere,(notably the stomach), because the amount of blood in the body remains constant at any given time?
