Q. Approximate the area between the x x -axis and g(x)=2x g(x)=2^{x} from x=2 x=-2 to x=2 x=2 using a right Riemann sum with 44 equal subdivisions.\newlineThe approximate area is \square units 2 ^{2} .\newlineHere's a sketch to help you visualize the area:
  1. Calculate Subdivision Width: First, we need to find the width of each subdivision. The interval from x=2x=-2 to x=2x=2 is 44 units wide. Since we're using 44 subdivisions, each one will be 11 unit wide.\newlineWidth of each subdivision = (2(2))/4=4/4=1(2 - (-2)) / 4 = 4 / 4 = 1
  2. Calculate Right Endpoints: Next, we calculate the right endpoints for each subdivision. These are x=1x=-1, x=0x=0, x=1x=1, and x=2x=2.
  3. Evaluate Function Values: Now we evaluate the function g(x)g(x) at each of these right endpoints.g(1)=21=0.5g(-1) = 2^{-1} = 0.5g(0)=20=1g(0) = 2^{0} = 1g(1)=21=2g(1) = 2^{1} = 2g(2)=22=4g(2) = 2^{2} = 4
  4. Calculate Rectangle Areas: We multiply the function values by the width of each subdivision to approximate the area of each rectangle.\newlineArea of rectangle 11 = g(1)×width=0.5×1=0.5g(-1) \times \text{width} = 0.5 \times 1 = 0.5\newlineArea of rectangle 22 = g(0)×width=1×1=1g(0) \times \text{width} = 1 \times 1 = 1\newlineArea of rectangle 33 = g(1)×width=2×1=2g(1) \times \text{width} = 2 \times 1 = 2\newlineArea of rectangle 44 = g(2)×width=4×1=4g(2) \times \text{width} = 4 \times 1 = 4
  5. Calculate Total Approximate Area: Finally, we add up the areas of all rectangles to get the total approximate area under the curve.\newlineTotal approximate area = Area of rectangle 11 + Area of rectangle 22 + Area of rectangle 33 + Area of rectangle 44\newlineTotal approximate area = 0.5+1+2+4=7.50.5 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 7.5
