Section 6.4: Average Value
Example 6.4.2
Find the average value of over , the finite region bounded by the graphs of and . See Example 6.2.2 and Example 6.1.2.
Solution
Mathematical Solution
The average value of over the region shown in Figure 6.1.2(a) is
= =
The numerator is the volume computed in Example 6.2.2, while the denominator is the area computed in Example 6.1.2.
Maple Solution - Interactive
A solution from first principles entails simply formulating and evaluating the integrals for volume and area as found in Example 6.2.2 and Example 6.1.2, respectively.
