‭FTC 1 and 2‬

‭Physics relations‬

∫ ‭𝑎(‬ ‭𝑡)‬ ‭𝑑𝑡‬ = ‭𝑣‬(‭𝑡)‬ ‭(taking the integral of acceleration‬‭will give you velocity)‬

∫ ‭𝑣(‬ ‭𝑡‬)‭𝑑𝑡‬ = ‭𝑠‬(‭𝑡‬) ‭(taking the integral of velocity‬‭will give you displacement (NOT TOTAL‬

‭DISTANCE)‬

‭***note: if it asks you to calculate total distance, take the absolute of the velocity function and‬
‭solve‬

∫|‭𝑣(‬ ‭𝑡)‬ |‭𝑑𝑡‬

‭If it asks you for net distance or displacement, solve integral without absolute value‬

‭○‬ ‭Solve the limit‬
‭○‬ ‭Try and isolate the x-expression if applicable (don’t add or subtract though for the‬
