Pre-Work:
1) Watch and note Trapezoidal Approximations Video
NOTE: There is an error in the first example (Find the total gallons....)
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 here.
