Concept explainers

The word ‘transformation’ means modification. Transformation of the graph of a function is a process by which we modify or change the original graph and make a new graph.

Exponential Functions

The exponential function is a type of mathematical function which is used in real-world contexts. It helps to find out the exponential decay model or exponential growth model, in mathematical models. In this topic, we will understand descriptive rules, c…

12:05 MA S 58 58. If f(x) = ci.metaproxy.org 25 2xon [0, 10] and n is a positive integer, then there is some Riemann sum Sthat equals the exact area under the graph of ƒ from x = Oto x = 10. 59. If the area under the graph of fon [a, b] is equal to both the left sum L, and the right sum Rfor some positive integer n, then fis constant on [a, b]. 60. If ƒ is a decreasing function on [a, b], then the area under the graph of fis greater than the left sum Land less than the right sum R₂, for any positive integer n. Problems 61 and 62 refer to the following figure showing two parcels of land along a river: River Parcel 2 Parcel 1 h(x) 500 ft 1,000 ft. Figure for 61 and 62 61. You want to purchase both parcels of land shown in the figure and make a quick check on their combined area. There is no equation for the river frontage, so you use the average of the left and right sums of rectangles covering the area. The 1,000-foot baseline is divided into 10 equal parts. At the end of each…
