Your method is right so u already know how to do it
See the graph attached.
The midpoint rule states that you can calculate the area under a curve by using the formula:
In your case:
a = 0
b = 1
n = 4
x₀ = 0
x₁ = 1/4
x₂ = 1/2
x₃ = 3/4
x₄ = 1
Therefore, you'll have:
Now, to evaluate your f(x), you need to look at the graph and notice that:
f(x) = x - x³
Therefore:
M₄ = 1/4 · (2 - 478/512)
= 0.2666
Hence, the <span>area of the region bounded by y = x³ and y = x</span> is approximately
0.267 square units.
Concept: Solution of the given attachment is based on the addition of two vectors as given below.
Consider two vectors P and Q, then resultant of these two vectors is given as,
R = P + Q
To find the addition of G & H vectors. That is G + H =?
In the given figure;
Vector A = - Vector G because both are in opposite directions -----(i)
From the figure,
A + H = F --------------- using the given concept ---------(ii)
Now, shall replace the value of A from equation (i) in equation(ii)
- G + H = F
or, G + (- H) = - F
Since the vector addition of G & H is not equal to F.
Hence, the given statement G + H = F is False.
