Chapter 07.06 Integrating Discrete Functions After reading this chapter, you should be able to: integrate discrete functions by several methods, derive the formula for trapezoidal rule with unequal segments, and solve examples of finding integrals of discrete functions. What is integration? Integration is the process of measuring the area under a function plotted on a graph. Why would we want to integrate a function? Among the most common examples are finding the velocity of a body from an acceleration function, and displacement of a body from a velocity function. Through
