Hi there!
Our interval is from 0 to 3, with 6 intervals. Thus:
3 ÷ 6 = 0.5, which is our width for each rectangle.
Since n = 6 and we are doing a right-riemann sum, the points we will be plugging in are:
0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3
Evaluate:
(0.5 · f(0.5)) + (0.5 · f(1)) + (0.5 · f(1.5)) + (0.5 · f(2)) + (0.5 · f(2.5)) + (0.5 · f(3)) =
Simplify:
0.5( -2.75 + (-3) + (-.75) + 4 + 11.25 + 21) = 14.875
<span>9a + -3(2a + -4) = 15
Reorder the terms:
9a + -3(-4 + 2a) = 15
9a + (-4 * -3 + 2a * -3) = 15
9a + (12 + -6a) = 15
Reorder the terms:
12 + 9a + -6a = 15
Combine like terms: 9a + -6a = 3a
12 + 3a = 15
Solving
12 + 3a = 15
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 3a = 15 + -12
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 3a = 15 + -12
3a = 15 + -12
Combine like terms: 15 + -12 = 3
3a = 3
Divide each side by '3'.
a = 1
Simplifying
a = 1</span>
