minus-squareUNY0N@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoYes, that’s the whole point of calculus. It’s useful for finding x if you don’t have other easier ways to do so. Here’s an example of how dividing the area under a curve up into smaller and smaller bits helps to find a value for the area.
