Step 1 :We are given the function \(f(x)=4-x^{2}\) and we are asked to estimate the area under the curve of this function between \(x=-2\) and \(x=2\) using a lower sum with two rectangles of equal width.
Step 2 :The width of each rectangle will be the total width of the interval divided by the number of rectangles. In this case, the total width is \(2 - (-2) = 4\), so the width of each rectangle will be \(4/2 = 2\).
Step 3 :The height of each rectangle will be the minimum value of the function on the interval that the rectangle covers. Since the function \(f(x)=4-x^{2}\) is symmetric about the y-axis, the minimum value on each interval will be the value of the function at the right endpoint of the interval.
Step 4 :So, the area of each rectangle will be width times height, and the total area will be the sum of the areas of the two rectangles.
Step 5 :Let's calculate this. The first rectangle covers the interval from \(x=-2\) to \(x=0\), and the second rectangle covers the interval from \(x=0\) to \(x=2\). The height of the first rectangle is \(f(-2)=4-(-2)^{2}=0\), and the height of the second rectangle is \(f(0)=4-0^{2}=4\).
Step 6 :So, the area of the first rectangle is \(2*0=0\), and the area of the second rectangle is \(2*4=8\).
Step 7 :The total area under the curve of the function \(f(x)=4-x^{2}\) between \(x=-2\) and \(x=2\) using a lower sum with two rectangles of equal width is \(0+8=8\).
Step 8 :Final Answer: The area under the curve of the function \(f(x)=4-x^{2}\) between \(x=-2\) and \(x=2\) using a lower sum with two rectangles of equal width is \(\boxed{8}\).
