(dummy variable)
It is called a dummy variable
because the answer does not
depend on the variable chosen.

What if: v t 1
8
We could split the area under the curve into a lot of thin
trapezoids, and each trapezoid would behave like the large
one in the previous example.
It seems reasonable that the distance will equal the area
under the curve.

We can use anti-derivatives to
find the area under a curve!

Take the anti-derivative
of both
