9–10 With a programmable calculator (or a computer), it is
pos sible to evaluate the expressions for the sums of areas of
approximating rectangles, even for large values of n, using
looping. (On a TI use the Is. command or a For-EndFor loop,
on a Casio use Isz, on an HP or in BASIC use a FOR-NEXT
loop.) Compute the sum of the areas of approximating rectangles
using equal subintervals and right end points for n − 10,
30, 50, and 100. Then guess the value of the exact area.
9. The region under y − x 4 from 0 to 1
10. The region under y − cos x from 0 to y2
11. Some computer algebra systems have commands that will
draw approximating rectangles and evaluate the sums of
their areas, at least if x i * is a left or right endpoint. (For
instance, in Maple use leftbox, rightbox, leftsum,
and rightsum.)
(a) If f sxd − 1ysx 2 1 1d, 0 < x < 1, find the left and
right sums for n − 10, 30, and 50.
(b) Illustrate by graphing the rectangles in part (a).
(c) Show that the exact area under f lies between 0.780
and 0.791.
12. (a) If f sxd − ln x, 1 < x < 4, use the commands discussed
in Exercise 11 to find the left and right sums
for n − 10, 30, and 50.
(b) Illustrate by graphing the rectangles in part (a).
(c) Show that the exact area under f lies between 2.50
and 2.59.
13. The speed of a runner increased steadily during the first
three seconds of a race. Her speed at half-second intervals
is given in the table. Find lower and upper estimates for
the distance that she traveled during these three seconds.

14. The table shows speedometer readings at 10-second
intervals during a 1-minute period for a car racing at the
Daytona International Speedway in Florida.

time period using the velocities at the beginning of the
time intervals.
(b) Give another estimate using the velocities at the end of
the time periods.
(c) Are your estimates in parts (a) and (b) upper and lower
estimates? Explain.
15. Oil leaked from a tank at a rate of rstd liters per hour. The rate
decreased as time passed and values of the rate at two-hour
time intervals are shown in the table. Find lower and upper
estimates for the total amount of oil that leaked out.

16. When we estimate distances from velocity data, it is sometimes
necessary to use times t 0, t 1, t 2, t 3, . . . that are not
equally spaced. We can still estimate distances using the time
periods Dt i − t i 2 t i21. For example, on May 7, 1992, the
space shuttle Endeavour was launched on mission STS-49,
the purpose of which was to install a new perigee kick motor
in an Intelsat communications satellite. The table, provided
by NASA, gives the velocity data for the shuttle between
liftoff and the jettisoning of the solid rocket boosters. Use
these data to estimate the height above the earth’s surface of
the Endeavour, 62 seconds after liftoff.
