### Calculating Distances Using Integration

#### Problem Description
Suppose you are driving away from Morgantown. At noon, you are 75 miles away from Morgantown. From noon until 5:00 pm, at any time \( t \) hours after noon, your velocity (miles per hour) is given by the function \( v(t) = -5t^4 + 50t^3 - 163t^2 + 190t \).

#### Graph Explanation
The provided graph displays the velocity function \( v(t) \) against time \( t \) in hours:
- **X-axis (horizontal)**: Represents time \( t \) from 0 to 4 hours.
- **Y-axis (vertical)**: Represents velocity \( v(t) \) in miles per hour from 0 to 60.

#### Task
Create a table of function values and use it to calculate the left-hand and right-hand sums. Input those values in the fields provided.

- **Left-Hand Sum: [______]** _(If necessary, round to two decimal places.)_
- **Right-Hand Sum: [______]** _(If necessary, round to two decimal places.)_

We assume that using only four rectangles, the best estimate of the integral is halfway between the two sums, or the average of the two sums.

#### Estimate Calculation
Give this estimate here:

\[
\int_{0}^{4} (-5t^4 + 50t^3 - 163t^2 + 190t) \, dt \approx \left[ \text{Average of Left-Hand and Right-Hand Sums} \right]
\]

- **Estimate: [______]** _(If necessary, round to two decimal places.)_

By integrating the velocity function \( v(t) \) you can determine the total distance traveled during the given time interval. This can be approached by numerical integration methods such as left-hand and right-hand sums with rectangle approximations.
