For the function below, approximate the area under the curve on the specified interval as directed.
f(x) = x - 5 on [0, 4] with 4 subintervals of equal width and midpoints for sample points
Step 1 of 4
Observe that f(x) is continuous on [0, 4]. We can find the area under the curve by first partitioning [0, 4] into
ь — а
4 segments of equal length using the formula Ax =
where a, b are the endpoints of the interval and n
is the number of rectangles used in the approximation.
Find Ax for the given function.
5 - a
4 - 0
Ax =
4
Thus, the partitioned intervals are which of the following?
P[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4].
