STEP 3: Evaluate each term and find the sum.

[tex]\[
\begin{array}{l}
= (0.5)(2) + (0.5)(2.25) + (0.5)(3) + (0.5)(4.25) \\
\leftarrow \begin{array}{l}
f(x) = x^2 + 2, \\
f(1) = 1^2 + 2 = 3
\end{array} \\
= 0.5(2 + 2.25 + 3 + 4.25) \\
= 0.5(11.5) \\
= 5.75
\end{array}
\][/tex]

The area under the curve is about 5.75 square units.

To follow the steps to evaluate each term and find the sum accurately, we will break down the given expression and perform calculations for each term individually:

Let's start with the given expression:
[tex]\[ \left(0.5 \cdot 2\right) + \left(0.5 \cdot 2.25\right) + \left(0.5 \cdot 3\right) + \left(0.5 \cdot 4.25\right) \][/tex]

### Step-by-Step Evaluation:

1. Evaluate the first term:
[tex]\[ 0.5 \cdot 2 = 1.0 \][/tex]

2. Evaluate the second term:
[tex]\[ 0.5 \cdot 2.25 = 1.125 \][/tex]

3. Evaluate the third term:
[tex]\[ 0.5 \cdot 3 = 1.5 \][/tex]

4. Evaluate the fourth term:
[tex]\[ 0.5 \cdot 4.25 = 2.125 \][/tex]

### Sum the Calculated Terms:

Adding all the evaluated terms together:
[tex]\[ 1.0 + 1.125 + 1.5 + 2.125 \][/tex]

Let's sum them up step-by-step:
- [tex]\(1.0 + 1.125 = 2.125\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(2.125 + 1.5 = 3.625\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(3.625 + 2.125 = 5.75\)[/tex]

So, the sum of the terms is [tex]\(5.75\)[/tex].

### Conclusion:

The area under the curve is approximately 5.75 square units.

Therefore, through the step-by-step evaluation of each term and summing them, we have determined that the sum is 5.75.
