We're approximating the area under the graph of the function f(x)=x^3+8 over the interval [-2, 2] by

  1. partitioning the integration interval into n=4 subintervals,
  2. building rectangles whose lengths are equal to the length of the corresponding subinterval and whose heights are equal to the value of f(r_i), where r_i denotes the right endpoint of the i-th subinterval, and
  3. computing the areas of each rectangle and adding these areas together.

Splitting [-2, 2] into 4 intervals gives

[-2, -1], [-1, 0], [0, 1], [1, 2]

Each subinterval has length 1. The right endpoints of the i-th subinterval, where 1\le i\le4, are given by the (arithmetic) sequence

r_i=-1+1(i-1)=i-2

The area of the rectangle over the i-th subinterval is

A_i=f(i-2)=(i-2)^3+8=i^3-6i^2+6i

and so the definite integral is approximately

\displaystyle\int_{-2}^2(x^3+8)\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4(i^3-6i^2+6i)

There are well-known formulas for computing the sums of powers of consecutive (positive) integers. The ones we care about are

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni=\frac{n(n+1)}2

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}6

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni^3=\frac{n^2(n+1)^2}4

So we get

\displaystyle\int_{-2}^2(x^3+8)\,\mathrm dx\approx40

2. While on vacation, Erika's favorite activity is catching some rays while reading novels by the pool.
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

144 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

3 hours * 60 = 180 minutes

40 pages / 50 minutes = x pages / 180 minutes

40/50 = x/180

cross multiply

50x = 40 * 180

50x = 7200

x = 7200 ÷ 50

x = 144
