Final Answer: The area estimate is 30+272(n2n2+nn2).

Steps

Step 1 :We are asked to estimate the area under the curve f(x)=3x+10 on the interval [0,3] using n rectangles of equal width and the right side to measure the height.

Step 2 :The width of each rectangle is the length of the interval divided by the number of rectangles, which is 3n.

Step 3 :The height of each rectangle is the value of the function at the right endpoint of the subinterval. The right endpoint of the i-th subinterval is 3in, so the height of the i-th rectangle is f(3in)=3(3in)+10.

Step 4 :The area of the i-th rectangle is then the width times the height, which is 3n(3(3in)+10).

Step 5 :The total area is the sum of the areas of all the rectangles, which is i=1n3n(3(3in)+10).

Step 6 :Simplifying the expression, we get the total area under the curve f(x)=3x+10 on [0,3] using n rectangles of equal width and the right side to measure the height is given by the expression 30+272(n2n2+nn2).

Step 7 :Final Answer: The area estimate is 30+272(n2n2+nn2).
