The formula for the average value of a function ($f(x)$) over an interval
In this formula:
-
$a$ and$b$ are the lower and upper bounds of the interval over which you want to find the average of$f(x)$ . -
$f(x)$ is the function whose average you want to calculate. -
$\int_{a}^{b} f(x) , dx$ represents the definite integral of$f(x)$ over the interval$[a, b]$ . -
$\frac{1}{b - a}$ scales the integral result to find the average value over the interval.
This formula essentially calculates the mean value of the function
