Your velocity is given by v(t)=1t2+4 in m/sec, with t in seconds. Estimate the distance, s, traveled between t=0 and t=8. Use the average of the left and right sums with 4 subdivisions.

Question

Answer: s=

Answer 1

so, each interval is of width 2, making the approximation
2((f(0)+f(2))/2 + ... + (f(6)+f(8))/2)
= 2(f(0)/2 + f(2)+f(4)+f(6) + f(8)/2)
so plug and chug
