πŸ“ Sample Questions

Q1. A dragster travels with a velocity that changes linearly over time. Which method would give the exact distance traveled over the interval if the velocity function is linear?

πŸ”Ή A. Rectangle (Riemann) method
πŸ”Ή B. Antiderivative method
πŸ”Ή C. Both give exact results
πŸ”Ή D. Neither gives exact results

πŸ’‘ Difficulty: easy | βœ… Correct: B

Q2. A dragster's velocity is given by \(v(t) = 3t^2\) meters per second. Using the rectangle method with two equal subintervals and left endpoints on \([0,2]\), what is the estimated distance?

πŸ”Ή A. \(12\)
πŸ”Ή B. \(18\)
πŸ”Ή C. \(24\)
πŸ”Ή D. \(30\)

πŸ’‘ Difficulty: medium | βœ… Correct: D

Q3. For an increasing continuous function \(f\) on \([a,b]\), which statement about the left‑endpoint rectangle method is always true?

πŸ”Ή A. It overestimates the integral
πŸ”Ή B. It underestimates the integral
πŸ”Ή C. It gives the exact integral
πŸ”Ή D. It may overestimate or underestimate depending on \(n\)

πŸ’‘ Difficulty: hard | βœ… Correct: C
