Math Problem Statement
A record club has found that the marginal profit,
Upper P prime left parenthesis x right parenthesisP′(x),
in cents, is given by
Upper P prime left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals negative 0.0007 x cubed plus 0.39 x squared plus 67.4 xP′(x)=−0.0007x3+0.39x2+67.4x
for
x less than or equals 500x≤500,
where x is the number of members currently enrolled in the club. Approximate the total profit when
300300
members are enrolled by computing the sum
Summation from i equals 1 to 6 Upper P prime left parenthesis x Subscript i Baseline right parenthesis Upper Delta x∑i=16P′xiΔx

A coordinate system has a horizontal axis labeled Number of members with ticks from 0 to 500 in increments of 50 and a vertical axis labeled Marginal profit (in cents) from 0 to 46000 in increments of 4600. A smooth curve labeled Upper P prime left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals negative 0.0007 x cubed plus 0.39 x squared plus 67.4 x generally rises from left to right. Six shaded 50-unit wide rectangles of different heights are spaced evenly along the horizontal axis from x equals 0 to x equals 300 with no gaps such that the bottom side coincides with the x-axis and the left corner of the top side is on the graph of the curve. The rectangles are labeled as follows from left to right: I, II, III, IV, V, VI.
