The problems on this homework must be done alone. The honor code is in effect.
First name: Last name:
1. Use geometry to evaluate the following integral \(\int_{-2}^3 \mid x \mid dx\). It will really help if you draw the curve.
a. \(\frac{15}{2}\)
b. \(\frac{13}{2}\)
c. \(\frac{9}{2}\)
d. \(\frac{1}{2}\)
e. \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
2. Which one of the following represents a right hand sum for the function \(f(x) = 2^x\) between \(x = 0\) and \(x = 2\) with \(n = 4\) equal subintervals.
a. \((\frac{1}{2})(\sqrt{2}) + (\frac{1}{2})(2) + (\frac{1}{2})(2\sqrt{2}) + (\frac{1}{2})(4)\)
b. \((\frac{1}{4})(\sqrt{2}) + (\frac{1}{4})(2) + (\frac{1}{4})(2\sqrt{2}) + (\frac{1}{4})(4)\)
c. \((\frac{1}{4})(\sqrt{2}) + (\frac{1}{2})(2) + (\frac{3}{4})(2\sqrt{2}) + (1)(4)\)
d. \((\frac{1}{2})(\sqrt{2}) + (1)(2) + (\frac{3}{2})(2\sqrt{2}) + (2)(4)\)
e. \((\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{4}) + (\frac{1}{2})(1) + (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{9}{4}) + (\frac{1}{2})(4)\)
3. Consider the area under the curve \(y = f(x) = 1 - x^2\) between \(x = 0\) and \(x = 1\). (It will help you answer this question if you draw the curve first.)
a. The left-hand-sum with \(n=4\) subintervals is an underestimate of the true area under the curve.
b. The right-hand-sum with \(n=4\) subintervals is an underestimate of the true area under the curve.
c. The right-hand-sum with \(n=4\) subintervals is an overestimate of the true area under the curve.
d. None of the above are true.
