question 91

Short Answer

The velocity of a car was read from its speedometer at ten-second intervals and recorded in the table. Use the Midpoint Rule to estimate the distance traveled by the car.
$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline t(\mathrm{~s}) & v(\mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}) & & t(\mathrm{~s}) & v(\mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}) \\\hline 0 & 0 & & 60 & 59 \\\hline 10 & 32 & & 70 & 62 \\\hline 20 & 49 & & 80 & 71 \\\hline 30 & 32 & & 90 & 44 \\\hline 40 & 44 & & 100 & 45 \\\hline 50 & 42 & & & \\\hline\end{array}$
