Identify the function f(x) = 3(x - 2)^2 and the interval [0, 3] over which we need to approximate the area under the curve using the midpoint rule.
Divide the interval [0, 3] into 3 equal subintervals. Each subinterval will have a width of Δx = (3 - 0) / 3 = 1.
Determine the midpoints of each subinterval. For the subintervals [0, 1], [1, 2], and [2, 3], the midpoints are x = 0.5, x = 1.5, and x = 2.5, respectively.
Evaluate the function f(x) at each midpoint: f(0.5), f(1.5), and f(2.5). This will give the heights of the rectangles.
Calculate the area of each rectangle using the formula Area = f(midpoint) * Δx, and sum these areas to approximate the total area under the curve.
