Hello, I hope someone could tell me where to look to or if easy enough, to advise me on how to use Mathemetica for the type of problem I have below. I already have worked it and have the lower estimate to be -475 and the upper estimate to be -85. I was hoping to put Mathematica to a practical use here and I really don't know how to do this. I have typed the problem in exactly as shown in James Stewart's, Calculus 5th Edition. Here it is: A table of values of an increasing function f is shown. Use the table to find lower and upper estimates for f(x) dx. x 0 5 10 15 20 25 f(x) -42 -37 -25 -6 15 36 Thanks to anyone with advice. T Harris
