Question
Figure 5.80 shows the velocity of a runner for 0 t 8 and the rectangles used to estimate the distance traveled. (a) Do the rectangles represent a left or a right sum? (b) Do the rectangles lead to an upper or a lower estimate? (c) What is the value of n? (d) What is the value of t? (e) Give an approximate value for the estimate. 0 8 18 t Figure 5.80
Solution
The first step in solving 5 problem number 5 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 5.80 shows the velocity of a runner for 0 t 8 and the rectangles used to estimate the distance traveled. (a) Do the rectangles represent a left or a right sum? (b) Do the rectangles lead to an upper or a lower estimate? (c) What is the value of n? (d) What is the value of t? (e) Give an approximate value for the estimate. 0 8 18 t Figure 5.80
