Answer 1

Finite approximation method of estimating the area under the curve of the

given function makes use of rectangular approximation of the area.

The correct responses are;

i) The estimated area using a lower sum with two rectangles of equal width is 1,715 square units.

ii) The estimated area using a lower sum with four rectangles of equal width is 3,001.25 square units.

iii) The estimated area using an upper sum with two rectangles of equal width is 8,575 square units.

iv) The estimated area using a upper sum with four rectangles of equal width is 6,431.25 square units.

Reasons:

The given function is f(x) = 5·x²

The given domain is x₀ to x₁₄

i) Estimate using lower sum with two rectangles of equal width;

$Let \ \Delta x = \dfrac{14}{2} = 7 \ we \ get;$

f(0) = 0

f(7) = 5 × 7² = 245

A = 0 × 7 + 245 × 7 = 1,715

The estimated area using a lower sum with two rectangles of equal width

is 1,715 square units.

ii) Estimate using lower sum with four rectangles of equal width;

$Let \ \Delta x = \dfrac{14}{4} = 3.5 \ we \ get;$

f(0) = 0

f(3.5) = 5 × 3.5² = 61.25

f(7) = 5 × 7² = 245

f(10.5) = 5 × 10.5² = 551.25

A = 0 × 3.5 + 61.25 × 3.5 + 245 × 3.5 + 551.25 × 3.5 = 3,001.25

The estimated area using a lower sum with four rectangles of equal width is 3,001.25 square units.

iii) Estimate using an upper sum with two rectangles of equal width;

$Let \ \Delta x = \dfrac{14}{2} = 7 \ we \ get;$

f(7) = 5 × 7² = 245

f(14) = 5 × 14² = 980

A = 245 × 7 + 980 × 7 = 8575

The estimated area using an upper sum with two rectangles of equal width

is 8,575 square units.

iv) Estimate using an upper sum with four rectangles of equal width;

$Let \ \Delta x = \dfrac{14}{4} = 3.5 \ we \ get;$

f(3.5) = 5 × 3.5² = 61.25

f(7) = 5 × 7² = 245

f(10.5) = 5 × 10.5² = 551.25

f(14) = 5 × 14² = 980

A = 61.25 × 3.5 + 245 × 3.5 + 551.25 × 3.5 + 980 × 3.5 = 6,431.25

The estimated area using a upper sum with four rectangles of equal width

is 6,431.25 square units.
