Speedometer readings for a motorcycle at 12-second intervals are given in the following table: t (s) 12 24 36 48 60 v (ft/s) 30 28 25 22 24 27 By interpreting these values as left-hand and right-hand endpoints for five intervals, find left-hand and right-hand estimates for the distance (in feet) that the motorcycle traveled during these sixty seconds. Left-hand estimate = feet Right-hand estimate = feet
