Q. 39

Question

For each pair of functions f and g and each interval [a, b] in Exercises 38–40, use at least eight rectangles to approximate the area of the region between the graphs of f and g on the interval [a, b]. Your work should include graphs of f and g together with the rectangles that you used.

f(x)=x,g(x)=2,[4,4]
