help plss i've done it 3 times and can't get the right answer
OpenStudy (helper101):
So you want to compute \int x^2/(1+x^5) dx from 1 to 4.
g(x) = x^2 / (1+x^5) is strictly decreasing from 1 to 4 as you can check by dg/dx.
And g(1) = 1/2, g(2) = 4/33, g(3) = 9/244, g(4) = 16/1025.
If you're allowed to use the calculator, g(1.5) = 0.2618 as well.
So (a), (b) are obviously out. (c) is out because the area from 1 to 1.5 is already > 0.2618 * 0.5 = 0.13.
Finally, I believe (e) is an overestimate (you'll have to verify it yourself).

I think

so g(x) is what, the original function??
OpenStudy (helper101):
it is in what i said
OpenStudy (helper101):
is this a multiply chose
