Question
The rate at which pollution escapes a scrubbing process at a manufacturing plant
increases over time as filters and other technologies become less effective. For this
particular example, assume that the rate of pollution (in tons per week) is given by
the following table.
4| 7| 10| 14| 20
days
pollution rate (tons/week) || 43 | 51 74 93 122 235
(a) Write a left Riemann sum that estimates the amount of pollution emitted over
the first four weeks. (Notes: (1) You must include at least two terms in your sum.
(2) You do not nced to evaluate the sum. (3) The units for time and pollution
rate are correct.)
(b) How does your left Riemann sum compare to the actually amount of pollutant
emitted? Can you tell if your Riemann sum is an overestimate or an underesti-
mate?
