Answer:
2n - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
expand brackets
8n - 4 - 6n
collect like terms
2n - 4
Subtract 5 from both sides.

Subtract 8n from both sides.

Divide both sides by -9 to solve for n.

The value of n is
-4/9.
Set up an equation of ratios as shown below:
h 24 ft 4
----- = ---------- = ---
4 6 ft 1
Cross multiplying the 1st and 3rd fractions, we get h=16 ft (answer)
Split up the interval [0, 2] into <em>n</em> equally spaced subintervals:
![\left[0,\dfrac2n\right],\left[\dfrac2n,\dfrac4n\right],\left[\dfrac4n,\dfrac6n\right],\ldots,\left[\dfrac{2(n-1)}n,2\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B0%2C%5Cdfrac2n%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac2n%2C%5Cdfrac4n%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac4n%2C%5Cdfrac6n%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cldots%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac%7B2%28n-1%29%7Dn%2C2%5Cright%5D)
Let's use the right endpoints as our sampling points; they are given by the arithmetic sequence,

where
. Each interval has length
.
At these sampling points, the function takes on values of

We approximate the integral with the Riemann sum:

Recall that

so that the sum reduces to

Take the limit as <em>n</em> approaches infinity, and the Riemann sum converges to the value of the integral:

Just to check:
