Hi,

I have the following question:
How do you use the end or right end point method to find the area under the curve if you do not have any of the x and y values excepts that the rectangle strips are of 50 cm (it is not precised if it is the width or wide).

Thank you in advance

Do you get the equation of the curve? If so, and the X axis is, lets say, measured in centimetres, then you can find the points to use simply by subbing in the endpoints of each rectangle. e.g. f(50) = y point at x=50
=> First rectangle is at (50,f(50)) => 50*f(50)
=> Second rectangle is at (100,f(100)) => 50*f(100) etc...
