The table gives the values of a function obtained from an experiment. Use them to estimate S^9 on the bottom3 f(x) dx
using three equal subintervals with right endpoints, left endpoints, and midpoints.
x:3 4 5 6 7 8 9
f(x):-3.5, -2.3, -0.5, 0.3, 0.7, 1.5, 1.8
for R3:4 for L3:-6.6 for M3:-1
I just need help answering the following questions: If the function is known to be an increasing function, can you say whether your estimate is less than or greater than the exact value of the integral?
less than, greater than, one cannot say

Question

The table gives the values of a function obtained from an experiment. Use them to estimate S^9 on the bottom3 f(x) dx
using three equal subintervals with right endpoints, left endpoints, and midpoints. 
x:3  4  5  6  7  8  9
f(x):-3.5, -2.3, -0.5, 0.3, 0.7, 1.5, 1.8
for R3:4 for L3:-6.6 for M3:-1 
I just need help answering the following questions: If the function is known to be an increasing function, can you say whether your estimate is less than or greater than the exact value of the integral?
less than, greater than, one cannot say

anonymous · Answer

for L3: If the function is known to be an increasing function, can you say whether your estimate is less than or greater than the exact value of the integral? 

for M3:If the function is known to be an increasing function, can you say whether your estimate is less than or greater than the exact value of the integral?
