OpenStudy (chris215):

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?

OpenStudy (chris215):

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

OpenStudy (arthur326):

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.

OpenStudy (chris215):

cool thxs again:)

OpenStudy (arthur326):

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