Q. Approximate the area between the x-axis and g(x)=2x from x=−2 to x=2 using a right Riemann sum with 4 equal subdivisions.The approximate area is □ units 2.Here's a sketch to help you visualize the area:
Calculate Subdivision Width: First, we need to find the width of each subdivision. The interval from x=−2 to x=2 is 4 units wide. Since we're using 4 subdivisions, each one will be 1 unit wide.Width of each subdivision = (2−(−2))/4=4/4=1
Calculate Right Endpoints: Next, we calculate the right endpoints for each subdivision. These are x=−1, x=0, x=1, and x=2.
Evaluate Function Values: Now we evaluate the function g(x) at each of these right endpoints.g(−1)=2−1=0.5g(0)=20=1g(1)=21=2g(2)=22=4
Calculate Rectangle Areas: We multiply the function values by the width of each subdivision to approximate the area of each rectangle.Area of rectangle 1 = g(−1)×width=0.5×1=0.5Area of rectangle 2 = g(0)×width=1×1=1Area of rectangle 3 = g(1)×width=2×1=2Area of rectangle 4 = g(2)×width=4×1=4
Calculate Total Approximate Area: Finally, we add up the areas of all rectangles to get the total approximate area under the curve.Total approximate area = Area of rectangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2 + Area of rectangle 3 + Area of rectangle 4Total approximate area = 0.5+1+2+4=7.5
