Find the area under the curve for
Answer to Problem 5E
The approximate area under the curve is 11 sq units.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Find the area under the curve for
Concept Used:
It is like sum of areas of 4 rectangles
The graph:
Calculation:
It is like sum of areas of 4 rectangles.
We find the area under the curve
According to the graph there are four rectangles.
First rectangle from
Second rectangle from
Third rectangle from
Fourth rectangle from
Width of each rectangle is 1 unit.
We use the midpoint of each rectangle.
Now find the height of each rectangle,
So height of first rectangle would be
Height of second rectangle would be
Height of third rectangle would be
Height of fourth rectangle would be
The area of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th rectangles are:
So the approximate area under the curve = sum of all 4 rectangles
So the approximate area under the curve:
Thus, the approximate area under the curve is 11 sq units.
