So we're gonna think about this interval right over here. So between x is equal to a and x is equal to b, what is the average value of this function? One way to think about it is what is the average height of this function? So how could we, what would that mean? Well, one way to think about it, it would be some height so that if we multiply it times the width of this interval, we'll get the area under the curve. So another way to think about it is the area under the curve right over here, the area, actually let me do this in a different color. So the area under this curve right over here, I'll shade it in yellow.
