Question 196965: Given each set of axes, what does the area under the curve represent?
48. y-axis: feet per second^2; x-axis: seconds
49. y-axis: dollars per pound; x-axis: pounds
50. y-axis: calories per ounce; x-axis: ounces

To get the AREA we multiply the x axis by the y axis
.
(1) becomes ft/ sec^2 *sec = ft / sec,,,, which is velocity ( acceleration * time = velocity)
.
(2) $ / lb * lb = $,,, which is cost (unit cost * units = cost)
.
(3) cal / oz * oz = cal,,, which is total cal ( cal per oz * oz = total cal)
.
