split the time into 6 intervals : 0->1, 1->2, 2->3, ,,, 5->6

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

width of interval = 1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so, for the left sum simply multiply this width wid the function values : 1*[3+4+5+4+7+8]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

similarly for the right sum : for each interval, take the right side v-value, so u wud leave the 3 this time : 1*[4+5+4+7+8+11]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if that makes more/less sense

what is the trap one?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

trapezoidal rule

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if u can try it out.. i havent worked it recently.... .

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for trap, try below : 1*[(3+4)/2 + (4+5)/2 + (5+4)/2 + (4+7)/2 + (7+8)/2 + (8+11)/2 ]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you, that worked

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, make sure u knw why they worked :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol just saying ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i understand left and right. i dont understand trap so well

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i sensed that :) for trap we have used below area element for each interval : \((b-a) * \frac{f(a) + f(b)}{2}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats the formula for area of trapezoid of : width = (b-a) parallel side lenths = f(a), f(b)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just look at the picture in that link, dont go thru the bottom explanation... its lil confusing in that link..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :)
