Use the mid-point rule with n = 4 to approximate the area of the region bounded by y = x3 and y = x. (10 points)

USPshnik [31]

See the graph attached.

The midpoint rule states that you can calculate the area under a curve by using the formula:
$M_{n} = \frac{b - a}{2} [ f(\frac{x_{0} + x_{1} }{2}) + f(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}) + ... + f(\frac{x_{n-1} + x_{n} }{2})]$

In your case:
a = 0
b = 1
n = 4
x₀ = 0
x₁ = 1/4
x₂ = 1/2
x₃ = 3/4
x₄ = 1

Therefore, you'll have:
$M_{4} = \frac{1 - 0}{4} [ f(\frac{0 + \frac{1}{4} }{2}) + f(\frac{ \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} }{2}) + f(\frac{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} }{2}) + f(\frac{\frac{3}{4} + 1} {2})]$
$M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [ f(\frac{1}{8}) + f(\frac{3}{8}) + f(\frac{5}{8}) + f(\frac{7}{8})]$

Now, to evaluate your f(x), you need to look at the graph and notice that:
f(x) = x - x³

Therefore:
$M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [(\frac{1}{8} - (\frac{1}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{3}{8} - (\frac{3}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{5}{8} - (\frac{5}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{7}{8} - (\frac{7}{8})^{3})]$

$M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [(\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{512}) + (\frac{3}{8} - \frac{27}{512}) + (\frac{5}{8} - \frac{125}{512}) + (\frac{7}{8} - \frac{343}{512})]$

M₄ = 1/4 · (2 - 478/512)
= 0.2666

Hence, the area of the region bounded by y = x³ and y = x is approximately 0.267 square units.

Whoever answers the questions correctly gets brainlist

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2. B

3. B

4. 2(7k+5h)

5. $325

Step-by-step explanation:

2) "X decreased by the sum of 2x + 5" Decreased means to be lowered, so that means this problem has subtraction in it. It also says x is being decreased BY the sum of 2x + 5 so that means 2x + 5 needs to be solved, which calls for parentheses. B best fits the description.

3) It is B because if you distribute the 8 to 2a and 3b, you'll get 16a and 24b, which is the given expression.

4) The given expression is 10h + 14k and in the equivalent expression, you are given 5h. To get from 10 to 5, you must divide by 2. This tells you that 2 is being distributed, so you put 2 before the parentheses. Since you divided 10 by 2, you want to do the same to 14, which is 7. Therefore, it is 2(7k+5h).

5) You are given the hourly charge, which is $25. This means that they charge $25 per hour/for every hour. You want to find the cost for 13 hours, so you multiply the hourly charge by 13 hours. 25 x 13 = 325.

The median starting salary for new law school graduates is determined by

Elena-2011 [213]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we would have the expectation that b₅ < 0 because b₅ shows how salary responds to law school ranking. As the rank of law school increases then median starting salary for new law school graduates declines. there is an inverse relation between salary and rank, Coefficient of rank, b5 will be negative since it is less than 0

ii) B₁ is going to be positive because as median LSAT score for the graduating class goes up, so does the salary of graduates. we have B1 >0

B₂ will be positive as college median GPA rises, so does graduate salary.

B₃ will be positive because if the more volumes of book in library, the greater possibility of getting higher salary, so B₃ >0.

B₄ >0 as if annual cost is high , then there would be indictaes more facilities of learning for students, leading to more chances of high salaries , hence B4 >0.

B5<0 this has been explained in 1.

iii) predicted ceteris paribus difference in salary for schools with a median GPA different by one point

= coefficient of GPA

=0.248

= this 24.8% in percentages B₂ tells us that when other factors are held constant,increasing median gpa by 1 would cause 24.8 percent increase in salary predicted.

iv)holding other variable factors constant, increasing the volume in the law library would bring about predicted salary increase by 0.095%

v) due to the inverse relationship between rank of law school and salary, it is better to attend a law school with lower rank than that with higher rank

difference in ranking of 20 = 20*(-0.0033)

= -0.066 x 100

= -6.6%

if rank is lower by 20 units , then we will have salary to be 6.6% higher
