Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers accumulation functions, defining them as functions representing accumulated change over an interval. It explains how to write these functions as definite integrals, using a dummy variable. Examples and practice questions demonstrate calculating accumulation functions given a rate of change function, and a glossary defines key terms like rate of change and dummy variable.

Ready to accumulate some knowledge? 🧠 An accumulation function essentially tells you:
The instantaneous rate of change at a specific point
The total change of a quantity over an interval
The average rate of change over an interval
The derivative of a function at a point
