alleryStart learning →A definite integral of f(x) gives which geometric quantity?
ALength of the curve
BArea under the curve
CCurvature at a point
DRate of change of f
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Area under the curve
Summing thin strips of height f(x) gives the area between the curve and the axis.
