The temperature, in degrees Celsius ("C), ofan oven being heated is modeled by an increasing
differentiable function 11 of time l, where f is measured in minutes. The table above gives the
temperatùre as recorded every 4 minutes over a l6-rninute period.

Use the datâ in the table to estimale tfe instantaneous rate at which the temperature of the oven is
changing at time t = 10. Show the crfìputations that lead to your answer. Indicate units of measure.
(b) Write an integral expression in terms of' ll for the average temperature of the oven between time
f = 0 and time / = i6. Estimate the average temperature of the oven using a left Riemann sum with

four subintewals of equal length. Show the computations that lead to your answer.
Is your approximation in part (b) an uderestimate or an overestimate of the average temperature?

The left Riemann sum approximation is an underestimate of the

Since the slopes are increasing, the data âre consistent with

By the Mean Value Theorem, the slopes are also the values

Since these derivâtive values are positive and increasing, the
