Split up the integration interval into 4 subintervals:
![\left[0,\dfrac\pi8\right],\left[\dfrac\pi8,\dfrac\pi4\right],\left[\dfrac\pi4,\dfrac{3\pi}8\right],\left[\dfrac{3\pi}8,\dfrac\pi2\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B0%2C%5Cdfrac%5Cpi8%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac%5Cpi8%2C%5Cdfrac%5Cpi4%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac%5Cpi4%2C%5Cdfrac%7B3%5Cpi%7D8%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac%7B3%5Cpi%7D8%2C%5Cdfrac%5Cpi2%5Cright%5D)
The left and right endpoints of the
-th subinterval, respectively, are


for
, and the respective midpoints are

We approximate the (signed) area under the curve over each subinterval by

so that

We approximate the area for each subinterval by

so that

We first interpolate the integrand over each subinterval by a quadratic polynomial
, where

so that

It so happens that the integral of
reduces nicely to the form you're probably more familiar with,

Then the integral is approximately

Compare these to the actual value of the integral, 3. I've included plots of the approximations below.
Yes you are correct with that answer
Answer:
When you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. f(x) = x2 and f(x + h) = (x + h)2 Therefore, the slope of the secant line between any two points on this function is 2x + h.

Answer: Choice B) 45/56</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
When we divide two fractions like this, we flip the second fraction and multiply like so...

which points us to choice B as the answer.
The fraction 45/56 cannot be reduced further because 45 and 56 do not have any factors in common other than 1.
