harder. Also the front page of that test.

STUDENT #:
TEST #1 Fri, Mar 27, 2009, 08.30 - 09.20 (50 min)
Test covers: Stewart Chapter 5, Sections 6.1,6.2 and Appendices E and G.
YOU ARE ALLOWED to bring in two sides of notes (8.5x11 inch paper). There will be no formulae
given on the test paper. Do not ask invigilators for help unless you are convinced that there is an
error or ambiguity in a question.
No other aids except for a non-graphing calculator.
ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS. WRITE YOUR ANSWERS ON THESE SHEETS - use backs and
sheets at end if necessary - but clearly indicate where solutions are written. There are 5 questions. All
questions carry equal marks (10 per question). EXPLAIN your methods and calculations with (a few)
words wherever appropriate.
All candidates must sign the attendance sheet and have photo ID available if required.

b)
The Riemann sum R4(f) approximates the area under f by four rectangles. Carefully
sketch the graph of f together with these four rectangles. Is R4(f) larger or smaller than the
