Which definite integral approximation formula is this: the integral from a to b of f(x)dx ≈ (b-a)/n * [<img src="https://tex.z-d

Stella [2.4K]

The answer is most likely A.

The integration interval [a, b] is split up into n subintervals of equal length (so each subinterval has width (b - a)/n, same as the coefficient of the sum of y terms) and approximated by the area of n rectangles with base (b - a)/n and height y.

n subintervals require n + 1 points, with

x₀ = a

x₁ = a + (b - a)/n

x₂ = a + 2(b - a)/n

and so on up to the last point x = b. The right endpoints are x₁, x₂, … etc. and the height of each rectangle are the corresponding y 's at these endpoints. Then you get the formula as given in the photo.

• "Average rate of change" isn't really relevant here. The AROC of a function G(x) continuous* over an interval [a, b] is equal to the slope of the secant line through x = a and x = b, i.e. the value of the difference quotient

(G(b) - G(a) ) / (b - a)

If G(x) happens to be the antiderivative of a function g(x), then this is the same as the average value of g(x) on the same interval,

$g_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{G(b)-G(a)}{b-a}=\dfrac1{b-a}\displaystyle\int_a^b g(x)\,\mathrm dx$

(* I'm actually not totally sure that continuity is necessary for the AROC to exist; I've asked this question before without getting a particularly satisfying answer.)

• "Trapezoidal rule" doesn't apply here. Split up [a, b] into n subintervals of equal width (b - a)/n. Over the first subinterval, the area of a trapezoid with "bases" y₀ and y₁ and "height" (b - a)/n is

(y₀ + y₁) (b - a)/n

but y₀ is clearly missing in the sum, and also the next term in the sum would be

(y₁ + y₂) (b - a)/n

the sum of these two areas would reduce to

(b - a)/n = (y₀ + 2 y₁ + y₂)

which would mean all the terms in-between would need to be doubled as well to get

$\displaystyle\int_a^b f(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx\frac{b-a}n\left(y_0+2y_1+2y_2+\cdots+2y_{n-1}+y_n\right)$

Alex is practicing his dives at a pool. He dives from a dividing board that is 21 feet above the surface of the water. His dive

leonid [27]

Answer:

NO. Alex was wrong.

The total dive distance is 21 + 17 = 38 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex was wrong because his direction of diving is from above the water through the surface of the water to under the water.

So his direction of travelling is not opposite but the same.

Therefore the total distance traveled by Alex = distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface + distance traveled from the water surface to down below the water

Distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface = 21 feet

Distance traveled from the water surface down below the water = 17 feet

Total distance traveled by Alex = 21 feet + 17 feet

= 38 feet.

Thus, Alex was wrong because the the total distance traveled by Alex was 38 feet.

Find the equation of the parabola that has zeros of x = –1 and x = 3 and a y-intercept of (0,–9). Question 1 options: A) y = 3x2

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the zeros are x = - 1 and x = 3 then the factors are

(x + 1) and (x - 3) and the parabola is the product of the factors, that is

y = a(x + 1)(x - 3) ← where a is a multiplier

To find a substitute (0, - 9) into the equation

- 9 = a(0 + 1)(0 - 3) = a(1)(- 3) = - 3a ( divide both sides by - 3 )

3 = a, thus

y = 3(x + 1)(x - 3) ← expand the factors using FOIL

= 3(x² - 2x - 3) ← distribute by 3

= 3x² - 6x - 9 → A

Need help with full explanation first to answer extra points!!!

blsea [12.9K]

Answers:

Step-by-step explanation:

Those brackets indicate absolute value. Absolute value is the distance of a number from 0 on the number line. In other words, negatives don't matter. There is also no such thing as a negative absolute value.

-2 -1 0 1 2

Both -2 and 2 are the same distance from 0, just in the opposite direction. Both numbers have the same absolute value, which is 2.

Hope This helps. If it did, then....
