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

f(x)
-42
-37

Thanks to anyone with advice.
