Question
The image is a graph of the function \( f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 + 3 \). 

### Graph Details:
- **Axes:** The graph contains a vertical axis (y-axis) and a horizontal axis (x-axis). Both axes are clearly labeled with increments.
- **Curve:** The function is represented by a smooth purple curve. 
- **Behavior:**
  - The curve starts from the left, decreasing slightly and then increasing as it moves from \( x = -1 \) to \( x = 3 \).
  - The graph demonstrates a point of inflection near the origin, where the concavity changes.
  - As \( x \) increases, the curve rises steeply beyond \( x = 2 \).

### Function Characteristics:
- **Equation:** \( f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 + 3 \)
- **Type:** Cubic polynomial
- **General Form:** The equation is in the standard form of a cubic function: \( ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d \), where \( a = 1 \), \( b = -2 \), \( c = 0 \), and \( d = 3 \).
  
The graph visually represents how the cubic function behaves across the given range, capturing changes in direction and inflection points to illustrate polynomial growth.

### Approximating the Integral of a Function Using Midpoint Sums

#### Problem Statement:

a) Given the following graph of \( f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 + 3 \) on the interval \([-1, 3]\). Approximate \( \int_{-1}^{3} f(x) \, dx \) by using the midpoint sums where \( n = 4 \). Shade the area that represents the midpoint sums.

b) Find the absolute error for using the midpoint sums.  
   (Recall: Absolute error = | True value - Approximation |)

#### Explanation:

- **Midpoint Rule:**
  - Divide the interval \([-1, 3]\) into 4 equal subintervals.
  - Identify the midpoint of each subinterval.
  - Calculate the area of rectangles using these midpoints and sum them up for an approximation of the integral.

- **Absolute Error:**
  - Determine the true value of the integral.
  - Subtract the approximated value from the true value.
  - Take the absolute value of the result to find the absolute error.

This exercise helps in understanding numerical integration techniques and error analysis.
