What does the Area under a SpeedTime Graph represent
I have already explained to you what speed-time graphs are and how to interpret each part/line of a speed-time graph (click here to revise if you have forgotten). But on your IGCSE GCSE Maths exam you are also quite likely to get a question about the area underneath a speed-time graph. So study the following example question during your maths revision in which I explain to you what the area under a speed-time graph represents.
Congratulations!! You now understand how to calculate the distance traveled by an object when given a speed-time graph. I have explained to you that the area underneath a speed-time graph gives you the distance traveled. Continue with your maths revision and learn more about graphs of other types of functions. If you follow the link I will explain to you how to graph quadratic, cubic, reciprocal, exponential and many other types of functions. I will see you there!
