See the graph attached.

The midpoint rule states that you can calculate the area under a curve by using the formula:
M_{n} = \frac{b - a}{2} [ f(\frac{x_{0} + x_{1} }{2}) +  f(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}) + ... +  f(\frac{x_{n-1} + x_{n} }{2})]

In your case:
a = 0
b = 1
n = 4
x₀ = 0
x₁ = 1/4
x₂ = 1/2
x₃ = 3/4
x₄ = 1

Therefore, you'll have:
M_{4} = \frac{1 - 0}{4} [ f(\frac{0 +  \frac{1}{4} }{2}) +  f(\frac{ \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} }{2}) +  f(\frac{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} }{2}) + f(\frac{\frac{3}{4} + 1} {2})]
M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [ f(\frac{1}{8}) +  f(\frac{3}{8}) +  f(\frac{5}{8}) + f(\frac{7}{8})]

Now, to evaluate your f(x), you need to look at the graph and notice that:
f(x) = x - x³

Therefore:
M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [(\frac{1}{8} - (\frac{1}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{3}{8} - (\frac{3}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{5}{8} - (\frac{5}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{7}{8} - (\frac{7}{8})^{3})]

M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [(\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{512}) + (\frac{3}{8} - \frac{27}{512}) + (\frac{5}{8} - \frac{125}{512}) + (\frac{7}{8} - \frac{343}{512})]

M₄ = 1/4 · (2 - 478/512)
     = 0.2666

Hence, the <span>area of the region bounded by y = x³ and y = x</span> is approximately 0.267 square units.

here is a list of numbers. 7,12,16,20,27,40,56,64. a work out the difference between the two square numbers in the list. b work
poizon [28]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

7,12,16,20,27,40,56,64

The square numbers are 16 = 4^2   and 64 = 8^2

The difference is 64 - 16 =48

The cube numbers are 27 = 3^3 and 64 = 4^3

64 - 27 =37

A truck travels beneath an airplane that is moving 160 km/h at an angle of 54.0 ◦ to the ground. How fast must the truck travel
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

2. 94.0 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

since the airplane is moving at angle of 54° from the ground, the horizontal component of the velocity is given by cos component

speed of air plane= 160 km/hr

horizontal component of velocity v= 160 cos 54°

= 94.045 km/hr

Thus  the truck must travel at an speed of  94.0 Km/hr hence second option is correct.
