Observe the graph:
\The graph of a function is divided into three trapezoid shapes and one rectangle.
Trapezoid area .
Find .
Sum of area.
.
(b)
\The average value of on interval
.
Average value of the function on
is defined as
.
In this case and
.
Average value of the function is .
Substitute .
.
Average value of the function is .
(c)
\The graph is translated two units upward.
Since the graph has units on
-axis, it is translated two units upward.
The area of is
