Step 1: Understand the problem. You are tasked with estimating the value of the definite integral \( \int_{0}^{10} f(x) \, dx \) using the left endpoint approximation method with five subintervals, where \( f(x) = x^2 \).
Step 2: Divide the interval \([0, 10]\) into five equal subintervals. The width of each subinterval, \( \Delta x \), is calculated as \( \Delta x = \frac{10 - 0}{5} = 2 \).
Step 3: Identify the left endpoints of each subinterval. The left endpoints are \( x_0 = 0 \), \( x_1 = 2 \), \( x_2 = 4 \), \( x_3 = 6 \), and \( x_4 = 8 \).
Step 4: Evaluate \( f(x) \) at each left endpoint. Since \( f(x) = x^2 \), calculate \( f(0) = 0^2 \), \( f(2) = 2^2 \), \( f(4) = 4^2 \), \( f(6) = 6^2 \), and \( f(8) = 8^2 \).
Step 5: Multiply each \( f(x) \) value by \( \Delta x \) and sum them to approximate the integral. The formula for the left endpoint approximation is \( \int_{0}^{10} f(x) \, dx \approx \Delta x \cdot [f(x_0) + f(x_1) + f(x_2) + f(x_3) + f(x_4)] \).
