Drill • A train travels at 80 mph for 5 hours. How far does it travel? • A truck travels for an average of 48 mph for 3 hours. How far does the truck travel? • Beginning at a standstill, a car maintains a constant acceleration of 10 ft/s2 for 10 seconds. What is its velocity after 10 seconds? Give your answer in ft/sec and then convert to mi/hr. • 80(5) = 400 miles • 48 (3) = 144 miles • a(t) = 10 • v(t) = 10t + C, v(0) = 0, so v(t) = 10t • v(10) = 100 ft/s
Estimating Finite Sums Lesson 5.1
Objectives • Students will be able to • approximate the area under the graph of a nonnegative continuous function by using rectangle approximation methods. • interpret the area under a graph as a net accumulation of a rate of change.
Distance Traveled • Figure 1: A train moves along a track at a steady rate of 75 mph from 7 AM to 9 AM. What is the total distance traveled by the train? • Can be represented by determining the area of the rectangle above. • The distance traveled would be 75 mph (2 hours ) = 150 miles • Looking at the rectangle, A = length x width = 150 miles 75 mph Velocity (mph) Time 7 9
A car accelerates from 0 to 88 feet in 11 seconds. If the acceleration is CONSTANT, how far will the car have traveled in that time? • Solution: Graph and find the area of the shape. • Area = ½ base (height) • = ½ (11)(88) • = 484 feet
v(t) = 800 – 32t. Find the distance traveled between 8 and 20 seconds. • Solution: Graph and find the area of the shape. • The shape is a trapezoid. • A = ½ h (b1 + b1 ) • h = 20 -8 = 12 • b1 = v(8) =544 • b2 = v(20) = 160 • A = ½ (12)(544 + 160) • = 4224 units
Distance Traveled • If the velocity varies over the timer interval [a,b], does the shaded region give the distance traveled? • Yes, but because it is an irregular region, we would need to partition it into narrow rectangles and add the areas of each rectangle. Please note: the smaller the width of the rectangle, the more accurate the area. a b
Example 1 Finding Distance Traveled when Velocity Varies A particle starts at x = 0 and moves along the x-axis with velocity v(t) = 3t2 for time t> 0. Where is the particle at t = 6? Solution: Graph the function of v and partition the time interval into subintervals of length Δt. We will define Δtto be 1, which means the base of each smaller rectangle will be 1. The height of each rectangle will be v(t), where t is represented by some point within each interval along the x-axis. Our intervals will be broken down as follows: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Choosing values of t: • When we use the left-handed endpoints, the estimate is usually less than the actual area under the curve • In this case, the left-hand endpoints would be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and to find the height, we would find v(0), v(1), v(2), etc. • When we use the right-handed endpoints, the estimate is usually more than the actual area under the curve • In this case, the left-hand endpoints would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and to find the height, we would find v(1), v(2), v(3), etc. • When we use the mid-points of the intervals, the estimate is usually most accurate. • In this case, the mid-points would be .5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5, and to find the height, we would find v(.5), v(1.5), v(2.5), etc

Homework, day 1 • Page 270: 1-6 • Please note the following for 5 and 6 • LRAM: use the left endpoints • RRAM: use the right endpoints • MRAM: use the mid-points
Drill: Find the area under the curve listed below, [0, 4].Δx = 1 Determine using LRAM, RRAM and MRAM
Approximate area: We could estimate the area under the curve by drawing rectangles touching at their left corners.
Approximate area: We could also use a Right-hand Rectangular Approximation Method (RRAM).
Approximate area: Another approach would be to use rectangles that touch at the midpoint. This is the Midpoint Rectangular Approximation Method (MRAM). In this example there are four subintervals. As the number of subintervals increases, so does the accuracy.
Example 2 Finding Information Given Data People who sail ships at sea use dead reckoning to calculate the distance a ship has gone. (The term dead reckoning comes from “ded-reckoning,” which is short for “deduced reckoning.”) Suppose that a ship is maneuvering by changing speed rapidly. The table shows its speeds at 2-min intervals. (A knot – abbreviated kn – is a nautical mile per hour. A nautical mile is about 2000 yd.) Use this information to find the distance the ship traveled in the 12-min time interval.
