How to Estimate Area Using a Trapezoidal Riemann Sum With Unequal Intervals From a Table

In this video we look at how to estimate a definite integral using a trapezoidal Riemann sum with unequal intervals indicated from a table. Additionally, we discuss if this estimation is an overestimation or underestimation based on the concavity of the given function.
