Solution

i. The function A(x) is defined as the area under the curve of the function f(t) = √t from 1 to x, for x ≥ 1. This can be represented by a diagram showing the curve y = √t, a vertical line at t = 1, another vertical line at t = x, and the area between the curve and the x-axis, bounded by these two vertical lines.

ii. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus states that if a function f is continuous over the interval [a, b] and F is an antiderivative of f on [a, b], then the definite integral of f from a to b is equal to F(b) - F(a). In the case of the function A(x), the function being integrated, √t, is continuous for t ≥ 0, and the limits of integration are 1 and x. Therefore, A(x) is the antiderivative of √t evaluated at x and 1, or A(x) = 2/3 * (x^(3/2) - 1^(3/2)).

iii. A′(x) is the derivative of A with respect to x. According to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, the derivative of a function defined by an integral like A(x) is simply the original function being integrated. Therefore, A′(x) = √x. So, A′(4) = √4 = 2.
