Answer:

  (a) 120 square units, underestimate

  (b) 248 square units, overestimate

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) <u>left sum</u>

The left sum is the sum of the areas of the rectangles whose width is the total interval width (8-0) divided by the number of divisions (n=4). The height of each rectangle is the function value at its left edge.

We can compute the sum by adding the function values and multiplying that total by the width of the rectangles:

  left sum = (1 + 5 + 17 + 37)×2 = 60×2 = 120 . . . square units

The curve is increasing throughout the interval of interest, so the left sum underestimates the area under the curve.

__

(b) <u>right sum</u>

The rectangles whose area is the right sum are shown in the attachment, along with the table of function values. The right sum is computed the same way as the left sum, but using the function value on the right side of each subinterval.

  right sum = (5 + 17 + 37 + 65)×2 = 124×2 = 248 . . . square units

The curve is increasing throughout the interval of interest, so the right sum overestimates the area under the curve.

_____

The actual area under the curve on the interval [0, 8] is 178 2/3, just slightly less than the average of the left- and right- sums.

Sean tossed a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The path of the coin can be represented by the equation 2 h tt = − 16t^2+
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the coin, after t seconds, is given by the following equation:

h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100

How long will it take the coin to reach the stream?

The stream is the ground level.

So the coin reaches the stream when h(t) = 0.

h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100

-16t^{2} + 72t + 100 = 0

Multiplying by (-1)

16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0

So

a = 16, b = -72, c = -100

\bigtriangleup = (-72)^{2} - 4*16*(-100) = 11584

t_{1} = \frac{-(-72) + \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = 5.61

t_{2} = \frac{-(-72) - \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = -1.11

Time is a positive measure, so we take the positive value.

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.

A dog's adult weight is 60 pounds. As a puppy, it is 10% of its adult weight. How much does it weigh as a puppy?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Puppy weight= 6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Adult weight= 60 pounds

Puppy weight rate= 10%

<u>To calculate the weight in pounds of a puppy, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Puppy weight= adult weight*puppy weight rate

Puppy weight= 60*0.1

Puppy weight= 6 pounds
