To estimate the area under the graph of f(x) = x^2 in the interval [0,1] using a lower sum with two rectangles of equal width:
Width of each rectangle = (1 - 0) / 2 = 0.5
Rectangle 1: Height = f(0) = 0^2 = 0, Area = 0 * 0.5 = 0
Rectangle 2: Height = f(0.5) = 0.5^2 = 0.25, Area = 0.25 * 0.5 = 0.125
Total estimated area = 0 + 0.125 = 0.125
The command to obtain a numerical solution in Mathematica is NSolve.
NSolve is specifically designed for finding numerical solutions to equations or systems of equations.
