Question
The table shows speedometer readings at 10-second intervals during a 1-minute period for a car racing at the Daytona International Speedway in Florida.
Time (s)
Velocity (mi/h)
182.9
10
169.0
20
106.6
30
99.8
40
123.5
50
177.1

174.6
(a) Estimate the distance (in mi) the race car traveled during this time period using the velocities at the beginning of the time intervals. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
mi
(b) Give another estimate (in mi) using the velocities at the end of the time periods. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
mi
(c) Are your estimates in parts (a) and (b) upper and lower estimates? Explain.
O The velocity is increasing on the given interval, so the estimate in part (a) is an upper estimate and the estimate in part (b) is a lower estimate.
