Thee connection between trapezoidal rule and the definite
Answer to Problem 28E
The connection between this process and the definite integral is found by solving the integral
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Anna accompanies her mother on a trip to the grocery store and keeps a log of the car’s speed at
By measuring the speed of her mother’s car at
For instances, Anna produces a table like the one listed below:
Time | Rate |
Then by using Trapezoidal rule, she can estimate the total distance travelled by the car.
The connection between this process and the definite integrals is that Anna is trying to estimate the function
Hence, if the trip to the grocery shop took
