Calc 1...picture included. Part B.

Answer 1

Would I use right hand sum and left hand sum to estimate?

Answer 2

looks like Simpson's rule orTrapezoidal rule for approximating to me

Answer 3

I agree that Simpson's rule is best in that case...

Answer 4

I am unfamiliar with the names of certain rules and no where in my book does it say that
....would that be (change in time)*(#+#+#+#+#)?

Answer 5

the simplest form or Simpson's Rule

is \[\int\limits_{a}^{b} f(x) dx \approx (b - a)/6(f(a) + 4f((a+b)/2 + f(b))\]

Answer 6

If you haven't covered the Simpson's rule yet then I would suggest using the Midpoint rule.

Answer 7

Okay yeah...that seemed a bit past what I'm learning...thanks though guys, gonna hit the book for a while

Answer 8

or the trapezoidal rule is easy... uses the area of a trapeziums... A = (b - a)/2(f(a) +f(b))

and just keep repeating

Answer 9

Much thanks
