I got 34 is that correct?
OpenStudy (emyoung0):
S(n)=∑i=1nf(M)iΔx
f(M)i would be the height of the rectangle
OpenStudy (chris215):
2(f(1)+f(2)+f(3)) = 2(15+12+7)
OpenStudy (chris215):
68?
OpenStudy (emyoung0):
which formula are you using? median?

Riemann Sum
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Left Riemann sum:
\(f(0) + f(1) + f(2)\)
Middle Riemann sum:
\(f(0.5) + f(1.5) + f(2.5)\)
Right Riemann sum:
\(f(1) + f(2) + f(3)\)
Trapezoid method
\(\dfrac{f(0) + f(1)}{2} + \dfrac{f(1) + f(2)}{2} + \dfrac{f(2) + f(1)}{3}\)
Pick your favorite.
(Notice that \(\Delta x = 1\) in each case. That's why there is no \(\Delta x\) written above.)
OpenStudy (chris215):
does it matter which I choose?
OpenStudy (emyoung0):
No, especially since you're estimating.
OpenStudy (chris215):
ok so left i got 43

The directions say to inscribe the rectangles under the curve. Therefore, since the given function \(f\) is decreasing on \((0,3)\), it is necessary to use a right Riemann sum.
OpenStudy (chris215):
ohh ok thank you
OpenStudy (arthur326):
You're welcome :)
OpenStudy (chris215):
nvm 34
OpenStudy (arthur326):
Yeah 34 is what I'm getting.

cool thxs again:)
OpenStudy (arthur326):
You're welcome again :)
P.S. small typo in my last post. I meant decreasing on the interval \([0,3]\).
