9. Let 𝑦 𝑡 represent the rate of change of the population of a town over a 20-year period, where y is a
differentiable increasing function of t. The table shows the population change in people per year recorded at
selected times.
Time

2500 2724 3108 3697 4283

a. Use the data from the table and a right Riemann Sum with four subintervals to approximate the area under
the curve.

b. What does your answer from part (a) represent?

c. Assuming that 𝑦 𝑡 is a continuous increasing function, is your approximation from part (a) greater or less
than the true value? Why?
10. A rectangular pool gets deeper from one end of the pool to the other. The table shows the depth ℎ 𝑥 of the
water at 4-foot intervals from one end of the pool to the other.

a. Use the data from the table to find an approximation for ℎ′ 10 , and explain the meaning of ℎ′ 10 in terms
of the depth of the pool. Show the computations that lead to your answer.

b. Use a midpoint Riemann Sum with 4 subintervals to approximate the area under the curve from 0 to 32
feet.

11. The rate at which customers are being served at StarBrusts is given by the continuous function 𝑅 𝑡 . A table of
selected values of 𝑅 𝑡 , for the time interval 0 𝑡 10 hours, is given below. At 𝑡 0 there had already been
200 customers served.

Use a trapezoidal sum with four subintervals to approximate how many customers had been served after 10
hours.
