Question

Estimate the area under the graph f(x)=6/x, from x=1 to x=7 using 6 approximate rectangles and right endpoints.

Answer 1

since the length of the path from 1 to 7 is 6, this is going to be easy
each interval is of length one, and your right hand endpoints are
2,3,4,5,6,7

the base for each rectangle is 1, and multiplying by 1 is a lot like doing nothing so your actual job is to compute
\[6\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{7}\right)\] i would use a calculator

Answer 2

Thank you so much!!! I was having so much trouble with this one!

Answer 3

Awesome! It was correct!
