This test was so easy! I finished to calculator MC in 20 minutes and took a half hour nap.

wait which one was the trapezoid question.. and did you have to set it up into 3 equal sub intervals?

The trapezoid question was 2b, and the intervals were unequal. This is how I did it, I dunno if it's right:

.5[(L(0)+L(1)) + 2(L(1)+L(3)) + (L(3)+L(4))]

=

.5(120+156) + (156+176) + .5(176+126)

=

621

Divide by 4 to get the average = 155.25

Nobody knows for sure yet, but I would think so.

Would I get partial credit it I get the answer t=3, position max left = -8 ? I forgot the -2. I realized that the last second when time was over.

If you did LRAM and RRAM with uneven intervals, that actually should work for mathematical correctness. Whether you'd get credit for it when it explicitly asks for the trapezoidal rule, I don't know.

LRAM = L(0) + 2L(1) + L(3)
RRAM = L(1) + 2L(3) + L(4)
(LRAM + RRAM)/2 = [L(0) + 3L(1) + 3L(3) + L(4)]/2

Trapezoidal Rule:
[L(0) + L(1)]/2 + 2*[L(1) + L(3)]/2 + [L(3) + L(4)]/2 =
[L(0) + 3L(1) + 3L(3) + L(4)]/2

So... maybe?

nns91, I see 3 points for that question, and I'm guessing you would get 2 out of 3.
