Please write your answer in the box. A “calculator-ready” answer is acceptable.
Answer: 54
Solution: The distance from − 1 to 5 is 6, so for 3 rectangles we want ∆ x = 2 and x

2. 2 marks A car’s brakes are applied at t = 0 seconds and the car decelerates continuously until it comes to a stop at t = 2 seconds. The car’s speed at half-second intervals is given in the table below. Find the best possible lower estimate for the distance that the car traveled during these two seconds. A “calculator-ready” answer is acceptable.

5 1 .
0 1 .
5 2 v (m/s) 40 30 24 10 0
Solution: The car’s speed decreases with time. So its lowest speed on any time interval occurs at the right hand end of the interval and the best possible lower estimate for the distance traveled is given by the right Riemann sum with ∆ x = 0 .
