Step 1 :Calculate R6 using the trapezoidal rule: R6 = 0.5 * ( (v(0) + v(3))/2 + v(0.5) + v(1) + v(1.5) + v(2) + v(2.5) )
Step 2 :Substitute the given values: R6 = 0.5 * ( (0 + 19)/2 + 13 + 18 + 25 + 17 + 14 )
Step 3 :Simplify: R6 = 0.5 * ( 19/2 + 87 ) = 0.5 * 125/2 = 125/4 = 31.25
Step 4 :Calculate L6 using the trapezoidal rule: L6 = 0.5 * ( v(0) + v(0.5) + v(1) + v(1.5) + v(2) + v(2.5) + v(3) )
Step 5 :Substitute the given values: L6 = 0.5 * ( 0 + 13 + 18 + 25 + 17 + 14 + 19 )
Step 6 :Simplify: L6 = 0.5 * 106 = 53
Step 7 :Calculate M3: M3 = v(1) = 18
Step 8 :The estimated distance traveled over [0,3] is approximately 31.25 meters using the trapezoidal rule.
