Answer

So, the approximation of the definite integral \(\int_{1}^{10}\left(x^{2}+6\right) dx\) using 3 subintervals and right endpoints is \(\boxed{549}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given the function \(f(x) = x^2 + 6\), we are asked to approximate the definite integral \(\int_{1}^{10} f(x) dx\) using 3 subintervals and right endpoints.

Step 2 :First, we calculate the width of each subinterval, which is \(\Delta x = \frac{b - a}{n} = \frac{10 - 1}{3} = 3\).

Step 3 :Next, we find the sample points, which are the right endpoints of each subinterval. These are \(x_1 = 4\), \(x_2 = 7\), and \(x_3 = 10\).

Step 4 :Then, we calculate the height of each approximating rectangle, which is the value of the function at each sample point. These are \(f(x_1) = 22\), \(f(x_2) = 55\), and \(f(x_3) = 106\).

Step 5 :Finally, we find the sum of the areas of the approximating rectangles, which is the approximation of the definite integral. This is \(\int_{1}^{10} f(x) dx \approx \sum_{i=1}^{3} f(x_i) \Delta x = 549\).

Step 6 :So, the approximation of the definite integral \(\int_{1}^{10}\left(x^{2}+6\right) dx\) using 3 subintervals and right endpoints is \(\boxed{549}\).
