a = amount invested at 4%

b = amount invested at 8%

we know the total amount invested is 8700, so if he invested "a" already, the second amount must be b = 8700 - a.

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{4\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{4}{100}\right)a\implies 0.04a}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{8\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{8}{100} \right)b\implies 0.08b} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{sum of the percentages}}{0.04a+0.08b}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{yield for 1 year}}{540}\implies 0.04a+0.08\left(\boxed{8700-a} \right) = 540 \\\\\\ 0.04a-0.08a+696=540\implies -0.04a+696=540\implies -0.04a=-156 \\\\\\ a= \cfrac{-156}{-0.04}\implies \blacktriangleright a = 3900 \blacktriangleleft~\hfill b = 8700-3900\implies \blacktriangleright b = 4800 \blacktriangleleft

Trapezoidal is involving averageing the heights
the 4 intervals are
[0,4] and [4,7.2] and [7.2,8.6] and [8.6,9]

the area of each trapezoid is (v(t1)+v(t2))/2 times width

for the first interval
the average between 0 and 0.4 is 0.2
the width is 4
4(0.2)=0.8

2nd
average between 0.4 and 1 is 0.7
width is 3.2
3.2 times 0.7=2.24

3rd
average betwen 1.0 and 1.5 is 1.25
width is 1.4
1.4 times 1.25=1.75

4th
average betwen 1.5 and 2 is 1.75
width is 0.4
0.4 times 1.74=0.7

add them all up
0.8+2.24+1.75+0.7=5.49

5.49
t=time
v(t)=speed
so the area under the curve is distance
