The Definite Integral
by the end of this class you should be
able to say why we began by looking
at this picture ...

The velocity of an object in feet per second is given in the table below.
(a) Sketch a velocity-time graph from the table.
(b) Give a lower and upper estimate of the distance traveled in 5 seconds.

The velocity of an object in feet per second is given in the table below.
(c) Estimate the actual distance traveled.

The velocity of an object in feet per second is given in the table below.
(d) On the velocity-time graph show a representation of the lower estimate
in terms of a shaded region of the graph.
