Answer

$\int_{0}^{8}sin~\sqrt{x}~dx \approx 6.1820$

Work Step by Step

$\Delta x = \frac{b-a}{n} = \frac{8-0}{4} = 2$ We can find the midpoints of the four subintervals: $x_1 = 1$ $x_2 = 3$ $x_3 = 5$ $x_4 = 7$ $\int_{0}^{8}sin~\sqrt{x}~dx \approx \sum_{i=1}^{4} f(x_i)~\Delta x$ $\int_{0}^{8}sin~\sqrt{x}~dx \approx 2\cdot (sin~\sqrt{1}+sin~\sqrt{3}+sin~\sqrt{5}+sin~\sqrt{7})$ $\int_{0}^{8}sin~\sqrt{x}~dx \approx 2\cdot (3.09102)$ $\int_{0}^{8}sin~\sqrt{x}~dx \approx 6.1820$
