PLEASE HELP ASAP In this task, you will practice finding the area under a nonlinear function by using rectangles. You will use graphing skills in addition to the knowledge gathered in this unit. Sketch the graph of the function y = 20x − x2, and approximate the area under the curve in the interval [0, 20] by dividing the area into the given numbers of rectangles. Part A Use five rectangles to approximate the area under the curve. Part B Use 10 rectangles to approximate the area under the curve. Part C Calculate the area under the curve using rectangles as their number becomes arbitrarily large (tends to infinity). You do not need to sketch the rectangles.

a) $1280 u^{2}$

b) $1320 u^{2}$

c) $\frac{4000}{3} u^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by sketching the graph of the function. This will help us visualize the problem better. (See attached picture)

You can sketch the graph of the function by plotting as many points as you can from x=0 to x=20 or by finding the vertex form of the quadratic equation by completing the square. You can also do so by using a graphing device, you decide which method suits better for you.

So we are interested in finding the area under the curve, so we divide it into 5 rectangles taking a right hand approximation. This is, the right upper corner of each rectangle will touch the graph. (see attached picture).

In order to figure the width of each rectangle we can use the following formula:

$\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}$

in this case a=0, b=20 and n=5 so we get:

$\Delta x=\frac{20-0}{5}=\frac{20}{5}=4$

so each rectangle must have a width of 4 units.

We can now calculate the hight of each rectangle. So we figure the y-value of each corner of the rectangles. We get the following heights:

h1=64

h2=96

h3=96

h4= 64

h5=0

so now we can use the following formula to find the area under the graph. Basically what the formula does is add the areas of the rectangles:

$A=\sum^{n}_{i=1} f(x_{i}) \Delta x$

which can be rewritten as:

$A=\Delta x \sum^{n}_{i=1} f(x_{i})$

So we go ahead and solve it:

A=(4)(64+96+96+64+0)

so:

$A= 1280 u^{2}$

B) The same procedure is used to solve part B, just that this time we divide the area in 10 rectangles.

In order to figure the width of each rectangle we can use the following formula:

$\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}$

in this case a=0, b=20 and n=10 so we get:

$\Delta x=\frac{20-0}{10}=\frac{20}{10}=2$

so each rectangle must have a width of 2 units.

We can now calculate the hight of each rectangle. So we figure the y-value of each corner of the rectangles. We get the following heights:

h1=36

h2=64

h3=84

h4= 96

h5=100

h6=96

h7=84

h8=64

h9=36

h10=0

so now we can use the following formula to find the area under the graph. Basically what the formula does is add the areas of the rectangles:

$A=\sum^{n}_{i=1} f(x_{i}) \Delta x$

which can be rewritten as:

$A=\Delta x \sum^{n}_{i=1} f(x_{i})$

So we go ahead and solve it:

A=(2)(36+64+84+96+100+96+84+64+36+0)

so:

$A= 1320 u^{2}$

In order to find part c, we calculate the area by using limits, the limit will look like this:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum^{n}_{i=1} f(x^{*}_{i}) \Delta x$

so we start by finding the change of x so we get:

$\Delta x =\frac{b-a}{n}$

$\Delta x =\frac{20-0}{n}$

$\Delta x =\frac{20}{n}$

next we find $x^{*}_{i}$

$x^{*}_{i}=a+\Delta x i$

so:

$x^{*}_{i}=0+\frac{20}{n} i=\frac{20}{n} i$

and we find $f(x^{*}_{i})$

$f(x^{*}_{i})=f(\frac{20}{n} i)=-(\frac{20}{n} i)^{2}+20(\frac{20}{n} i)$

cand we do some algebra to simplify it.

$f(x^{*}_{i})=-\frac{400}{n^{2}}i^{2}+\frac{400}{n}i$

we do some factorization:

$f(x^{*}_{i})=-\frac{400}{n}(\frac{i^{2}}{n}-i)$

and plug it into our formula:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum^{n}_{i=1}-\frac{400}{n}(\frac{i^{2}}{n}-i) (\frac{20}{n})$

And simplify:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum^{n}_{i=1}-\frac{8000}{n^{2}}(\frac{i^{2}}{n}-i)$

$\lim_{n \to \infty} -\frac{8000}{n^{2}} \sum^{n}_{i=1}(\frac{i^{2}}{n}-i)$

And now we use summation formulas:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} -\frac{8000}{n^{2}} (\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6n}-\frac{n(n+1)}{2})$

$\lim_{n \to \infty} -\frac{8000}{n^{2}} (\frac{2n^{2}+3n+1}{6}-\frac{n^{2}}{2}-\frac{n}{2})$

and simplify:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} -\frac{8000}{n^{2}} (-\frac{n^{2}}{6}+\frac{1}{6})$

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{4000}{3}+\frac{4000}{3n^{2}}$

and solve the limit

$\frac{4000}{3}u^{2}$

Answer from: Quest

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!

Powerful women's group has claimed that men and women differ in attitudes about sexual discrimination. a group of 50 men (group 1) and 40 women (group 2) were asked if they thought sexual discrimination is a problem in the united states. of those sampled, 11 of the men and 19 of the women did believe that sexual discrimination is a problem. if the p-value turns out to be 0.035 (which is not the real value in this data set), then at = 0.05, you should fail to reject h0. at = 0.04, you should reject h0. at = 0.03, you should reject h0. none of these would be a correct statement.
