Estimate the area under the graph of f(x)=x^(2)+3x from x=1 to x=5 using 4 approximating rectangles and left endpoints.

 Rn ≈ 0.6345

 Ln ≈ 0.7595

Step-by-step explanation:

The interval from -1 to 2 has a width of (2 -(-1)) = 3. Dividing that into 4 equal intervals means each of those smaller intervals has width 3/4.

It can be useful to use a spreadsheet or graphing calculator to evaluate the function at all of the points that define these intervals:

 x = -1, -.25, 0.50, 1.25, 2

Of course, the spreadsheet can easily compute the sum of products for you.

The approximation using right end-points will be the sum of products of the interval width (3/4) and the function value at the right end-points:

 Rn = (3/4)f(-0.25) +(3/4)f(0.50) +(3/4)f(1.25) +(3/4)f(2)

 Rn ≈ 0.6345

The approximation using left end-points will be the sum of products of the interval width (3/4) and the function value at the left end-points:

 Ln = (3/4)f(-1) +(3/4)f(-0.25) +(3/4)f(0.50) +(3/4)f(1.25)

 Ln ≈ 0.7595

It is usually convenient to factor out the interval width, so only one multiplication needs to be done: (interval width)(sum of function values).

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

because your just changing the position of where the shape is

step-by-step explanation:

given that ab is divided into equal parts as

ac, cd, de, ef, fg, gh, hi, ib.

from this we find that f is the midpoint of ab.

so using mid point formula we find

f = (3,7)

similarly considering fb, we get

h = mid point of fb = ((6,6) and g, mid point of fh is

g = (9/2, 13/2)

i is mid point of hb

so i =(15/2,11/2)
