Answer: Δx = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the interval:
[−3, −1]
and we partition it into 4 equal intervals.
first, the range of our interval is equal to the difference between the extremes, this is:
-1 - (-3) = -1 + 3 = 2
Then, if we divide it into 4, we have 4 segments with a range of:
2/4 = 0.5
Then the subinterval delta is 0.5, and the 4 intervals are:
[−3, -2.5], [−2.5, −2], [−2, −1.5], [−1.5, −1]
