Use five rectangles to estimate the area under the curve of $f\left(x\right)=x^2$ from $x=0$ to $x=5$ using left endpoints.

Displacement from a velocity graph Consider the velocity function for an object moving along a line (see figure).

Estimate the value of the definite integral ${\int }_0^{10}f\left(x\right)dx$ using five subintervals and the left endpoint approximation, given that $f\left(x\right)=x^2$.

Evaluate the integral by interpreting it in terms of areas: $6{\int }_{-5}^0\left|x\right| dx$.

Displacement from a velocity graph Consider the velocity function for an object moving along a line (see figure).

(d) Assuming the velocity remains 10 m/s, for t ≥ 5, find the function that gives the displacement between t = 0 and any time t ≥ 5.

Use three rectangles to estimate the area under the curve of $f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{3}{x}^3$ from $x=0$ to $x=3$ using the right endpoints.

Displacement from a velocity graph Consider the velocity function for an object moving along a line (see figure).

(b) Use geometry to find the displacement of the object between t = 0 and t = 2.

Area by geometry Use geometry to evaluate the following definite integrals, where the graph of ƒ is given in the figure.

(a) ∫₀⁴ ƒ(𝓍) d𝓍

Use three rectangles to approximate the area under the curve of $f\left(x\right)=3{(x-2)}^2$ from $x=0$ to $x=3$ using the midpoint rule.

The velocity in ft/s of an object moving along a line is given by v = ƒ(t) on the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 8 (see figure), where t is measured in seconds.

a) Divide the interval [0,8] into n = 2 subintervals, [0,4] and [4,8]. On each subinterval, assume the object moves at a constant velocity equal to the value of v evaluated at the midpoint of the subinterval, and use these approximations to estimate the displacement of the object on [0,8] (see part (a) of the figure)                                                                                                             

Estimate the value of the definite integral ${\int }_{-2}^{4}g\left(x\right)dx$ using six subintervals and the left endpoint approximation. Which of the following best describes the process?

Use two rectangles to estimate the area under the curve of $f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{2}{x}^2$ from $x=0$ to $x=3$ using left endpoints.

Mass from density A thin 10-cm rod is made of an alloy whose density varies along its length according to the function shown in the figure. Assume density is measured in units of g/cm. In Chapter 6, we show that the mass of the rod is the area under the density curve.
