The Density of Cars (In Cars Per Mile)down a 20-Mile ρ(x)=500+100sin(πx)\rho(x)=500+100 \sin (\pi x)

Question 55

Multiple Choice

The density of cars (in cars per mile) down a 20-mile stretch of the Massachusetts Turnpike starting at a toll plaza is given by ρ(x) =500+100sin(πx) \rho(x) =500+100 \sin (\pi x) , where x is the distance in miles from the toll plaza and 0 \le x \le 20.Which of the following Riemann sums estimates the total number of cars down the 20-mile stretch?


A) i=020ρ(xi) Δx\sum_{i=0}^{20} \rho\left(x_{i}\right) \Delta x , where the 20-mile stretch is divided into n pieces of length 20n=Δx\frac{20}{n}=\Delta x , and
xix_{i} is a point in the i th segment.
B) i=0n1nρ(xi) \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} n \cdot \rho\left(x_{i}\right) , where the 20-mile stretch is divided into n pieces of length 20n=Δx\frac{20}{n}=\Delta x , and
xix_{i} is a point in the i th segment.
C) i=020ρ(Δxi) \sum_{i=0}^{20} \rho\left(\Delta x_{i}\right) , where the 20-mile stretch is divided into n pieces of length 20n=Δx\frac{20}{n}=\Delta x , and
xix_{i} is a point in the i th segment.
D) i=0n1ρ(xi) Δx\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} \rho\left(x_{i}\right) \Delta x , where the 20-mile stretch is divided into n pieces of length 20n=Δx\frac{20}{n}=\Delta x , and
xix_{i} is a point in the i th segment.
