The velocity of a runner at different moments in time since starting a race is given by the following table.


t in seconds	2	4	6	8	10

v(t) in m/s	1	3	5	6	6

Based on the table, which of the following is an approximation to $\int _4^8 v(t) dt$ ?

$18$ meters $28$ meters $30$ meters $42$ meters $44$ meters None of the above

Use the graph of the rate, $y = R(t)$ , to answer the following question:

Which value is greatest?

$\int _2^8 R(t) dt$ $\int _3^9 R(t) dt$ $\sum _{k=0}^2 R(2+ k \times \Delta t)\times \Delta t$ where $\Delta t = 2$ $\sum _{k=0}^2 R(2+ k \times \Delta t)\times \Delta t$ where $\Delta t = 1$ None of the above More information is needed
