A cyclist is cycling downhill. He recorded his instant speed every seconds. His speed for the first seconds is listed above.
We calculate the distance traveled based on the data using left-hand sum, right-hand sum, and trapezoidal sum. We label the results as for the right-hand sum, for the left-hand sum, and for the trapezoidal sum.
What is the correct order of the sums, , , and , as time goes on?
A cyclist is cycling downhill. He recorded his instant speed every 0.5 seconds. His speed for the first 3 seconds is listed above.
