\frametitle{Average Value of a Function}
\begin{block}{}
The average value $f_{\text{avg}}$of a function $f$ on an interval $[a,b]$ is:
\begin{talign}
f_{\text{avg}} = \frac{1}{b-a} \int_a^b f(x) \, dx
\end{talign}

This is \emph{easy to remember}:

\begin{itemize}
\pause
\item Think of the area below the function as water.
\pause
\item Then the amount of water is $A = \int_a^b f(x) dx$
\pause
\item When the waves calm, the water settles in the shape of a rectangle
\pause with area $A$ \pause and width $b-a$; \pause thus height $\frac{A}{b-a}$
