Question 1

Which of the following best describes the meaning of the shaded area under the velocity-time graph in the first image (constant velocity of 10 m/s from t = 0 to t = 10 seconds)?

Accepted Answer

It represents the total distance traveled by the object in 10 seconds.

Question 2

Given the function $$f(x) = 0.25x^2$ + 1 as $$shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, which figure illustrates the use of left rectangles to approximate the area under the curve from $$x = 1 to$$ $$x = 5$$?

Figure 2

Question 3

In the context of Riemann sums, what is the main difference between the approximations shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 for the function $$f(x) = 0.25x^2$ + 1$$?

Accepted Answer

Figure 2 uses left endpoints for rectangle heights, while Figure 3 uses right endpoints.

As the number of rectangles increases in a Riemann sum approximation (as shown in Figure 4), what happens to the accuracy of the area estimation under the curve $$f(x) = 0.25x^2$ + 1$$?

Accepted Answer

The approximation becomes more accurate and approaches the exact area.
