Q. The graph of function h is shown below. Let g(x)=∫1xh(t)dt.Evaluate g(4).g(4)=
Substitute x with 4: Substitute x with 4 in g(x) to get g(4).g(4)=∫14h(t)dt
Determine area under curve: Look at the graph of h(t) to determine the area under the curve from 1 to 4. Assuming the graph shows a rectangle from 1 to 3 with a height of 3, and a triangle from 3 to 4 with a base of 1 and a height of 3.
Calculate rectangle area: Calculate the area of the rectangle.Area of rectangle = base×height=(3−1)×3=2×3=6
Calculate triangle area: Calculate the area of the triangle.Area of triangle = (base×height)/2=(1×3)/2=3/2=1.5
Find g(4): Add the areas of the rectangle and triangle to find g(4).g(4)=Area of rectangle+Area of triangle=6+1.5=7.5
