Determine Δx formed by partitioning the given interval into n subintervals. 
-8 ≤ x ≤ -4; n = 6
A) Δx = $\frac { 2 } { 3 }$
B) Δx = $\frac { 3 } { 2 }$
C) Δx = - $\frac { 2 } { 3 }$
D) Δx = 4

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Δx is calculated by subtracting the lower bound of the interval from the upper bound and then dividing by the number of subintervals. Here, Δx = (-4 - (-8)) / 6 = 4 / 6 = 2 / 3.
