Please, for the sake of my sanity... by jmaxsohmer 2006-11-19 12:55:59

I'm supposed to make a blue rectangle showing profit at a cost of sixteen dollars. The purple line is average total cost.

Now, that means that the area I have to shade is the integral of 16 - ATC from 1 to 10. Would somebody please tell me how one does that with a RECTANGLE?
