Estimate the area under the curve f(x) = 16 - x^2 from x = 0 to x = 3 by using three inscribed (under the curve) rectangles. answer to the nearest integer.

43

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate the area under the curve f(x) = 16 - x^2 from x = 0 to x = 3 by using three inscribed (under the curve) rectangles

First we find out the width of the rectangle

Δx=b−a/n,  a= 0 and b= 3, n= 3

so Δx= 1

Divide the interval [0,3] into  3 sub intervals of width=1

[0,1]     [1,2]     [2,3]

Now we plug in end point and evaluate the function

We take left endpoints

f(0) = 16 - 0^2=16

f(1) = 16 - 1^2= 15

f(2) = 16 - 2^2= 12

Now sum = Δx(f(0) + f(1)+f(2))

= 1 (16+15+12)= 43

the explanation is that in 8 years the child will be 20 and in 8 years the father will be 40 and 20 is half of 40.
