Let F(x) = 4 - 2x Use a Riemann Sum

question 307

Multiple Choice

Let f(x) = 4 - 2x Use a Riemann sum with four subintervals of equal length (n = 5) to approximate the area of R (under the graph of f on the interval [0, 2]) . Choose the representative points to be the left end points of the subintervals.
Repeat previous part with eight subintervals of equal length (n = 10) .
Compare the approximations obtained in previous parts with the exact area (4 sq units) . Do the approximations improve with larger n?

• A) 4.4 sq units; 4.8 sq units; no
• B) 4.8 sq units; 4.4 sq units; yes
• C) 4.4 sq units; 4.8 sq units; yes
• D) 4.8 sq units; 4.4 sq units; no

Definitions:

Voting Cycles

Repeated patterns of preference changes among voters or decision-makers, leading to inconsistencies in collective decisions.

Pure Private Good

A type of good that is both excludable and rival in consumption, meaning access to the good can be limited, and one person's use of the good diminishes its availability for others.

Pure Public Good

A pure public good is characterized by non-excludability and non-rivalry, meaning one person's consumption does not reduce availability for others and no one can be prevented from consuming it.

Single Peaked

Refers to a preference or utility pattern where an individual's satisfaction increases up to a certain point, after which it starts to decrease, creating a peak at the optimum point.
