Cars pass a traffic sensor at an increasing rate during the morning. Readings (cars/min) at t=0,30,60,90t=0,30,60,90 minutes are 20,28,35,4020,28,35,40. Using a LEFT Riemann sum with these 3030-minute subintervals, estimate the total number of cars passing in the 9090 minutes, and state whether this estimate is too low or too high given that the rate is increasing.
