Pre-Work:
1) Watch and note Trapezoidal Approximations Video
NOTE: There is an error in the first example (Find the total gallons.... do the calculations in the last 3 steps to correct final answer)
The values during the last step were incorrectly added. The correct work would be
A = ½ (8250)
A = 4125 gallons.
NOT the A = (1/2)2700 that was shown. Oops!
2) Complete the attached Pre-Quiz: "6.03 Riemann Sums (Trapezoidal)"and submit work in Google Clasroom under "6.03 Pre-work:
Note on notation:
Watch Corey Henry (APC '14) explain TW question #3 here.
