sin x + C

For the region bounded by y = 4 - x2, y = 0, x = 0 and x = 2, will a left Riemann sum be greater than, less than, or equal to the actual area and why?

greater than the actual area because y = 4 - x2 is decreasing for 0 ≤ x ≤ 2.

Brianna is jogging along a straight path.  Selected values of her velocity are given in the table below.

Use a right Riemann sum to approximate her displacement for those 40 minutes.

displacement ≈ 12(200)+8(240)+4(-220)+16(150)

= 5840 meters

Use a left-handed Riemann sum to approximate the area between f(x) and the x-axis from x = 0 to x = 10 with widths and function values defined by the table below:

Area ≈ 2(4) + 3(1) + 1(6) + 4(3) = 29

On a Saturday in December, Mrs. Price bakes cookies all day starting at 8 am.  If C(t) is her rate of cookie production measured in cookies per hour, and t is measured in hours starting at 8am (t = 0), using correct units, explain the meaning of 

∫_0^12 C(t)dt=500

From 8am to 8pm (or from t = 0 hours to t = 12 hours), the total number of cookies Mrs. Price bakes is 500 cookies.

Bob is walking at a velocity modeled by 

v(t)=5sin(t^2)

where t is in hours and v(t) is in miles per hour.

Find the total distance Bob traveled from t = 0 to t = 2.

Bob is walking at a velocity modeled by 

v(t)=5sin(t^2)

where t is in hours and v(t) is in miles per hour.

At what time 0 < t < 2 does Bob change direction? JYA

At t ≈ 1.772 hours because v(t) changes sign at t ≈ 1.772

The graph of the continuous function f is below.  If 

g(x)=2x+∫_-2^x f(t)dt

on what intervals is the graph of g concave down?  JYA

g is concave down on (-2, 0) U (2, 8) because g' = 2 + f(x) is decreasing on these intervals
