A rocket is departing Earth towards Mars. The following function represents the rocket's vertical velocity for the first 3 hours:
v(t) = t
- t²e¹² in km/h.
(a) Approximate the distance travelled by the rocket in the first 3 hours using a right-hand Riemann sum with 4 intervals: Distance
(b) Approximate the velocity function with a Taylor polynomial of degree 2 centred at a = 0:
v(t)≈+t+t².
(c) Use the polynomial approximation to obtain a new approximation of the distance travelled by the rocket in the first 3 hours:
Distance
km.
(d) Calculate the exact distance travelled by the rocket in the first 3 hours:
Distance =
km.
