by this time I assume you know how to do a Riemann sum to approximate the area. The average value is just the area divided by the width of the interval.
This is just like figuring distance traveled by time * average speed.
The function is continuous on the interval [10, 20] with some of its values given in the table below. Estimate the average value of the function with a Left Hand Sum Approximation, using the intervals between those given points.
X: 10 12 15 19 20
f(x): -2 -5 -9 -12 -16
