Approximate the area under the graph of F(x) = 0.2x^3 + 2x^2 - 0.2x - 2 over the interval [ -6, -1] using 5 subintervals. Use the left endpoints to find the heights of the rectangles. The area is approximately square units. (Type an integer or a decimal.)

Step 1
First, we need to find the width of each subinterval. The interval is from -6 to 6, so the total width is 12. Since we have 5 subintervals, the width of each subinterval is 12/5. Show more…
