  1. Aim: What are Riemann Sums? Do Now: Approximate the area under the curve y = 4 – x2 for [-1, 1] using 4 inscribed rectangles.

  2. Devising a Formula • Using left endpoint to approximate area under the curve is the more rectangles the better the approximation lower sum yn - 1 the exact area? take it to the limit! y1 yn - 1 y0 yn - 2 2 1 a b left endpoint formula

  3. Right Endpoint Formula • Using right endpoint to approximate area under the curve is yn upper sum yn - 1 right endpoint formula y1 y0 midpoint formula a b

Partition the interval into n subintervals not necessarily of equal length. a = x0 < x1 < x2 < . . . < xn – 1< xn = b a = = b Δxi = xi – xi – 1 - arbitrary/sample points for ith interval

  9. Definition of Riemann Sum Let f be defined on the closed interval [a, b], and let Δ be a partition of [a, b] given by a = x0 < x1 < x2 < . . . . < xn – 1 < xn = b, where Δxi is the length of the ith subinterval. If ci is any point in the ith subinterval, then the sum is called a Riemann sum for f for the partition Δ largest subinterval – norm - ||Δ|| or |P| equal subintervals – partition is regular regular partition general partition converse not true

  10. Model Problem Evaluate the Riemann Sum RP for f(x) = (x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 4) = x3 – 5x2 + 2x + 8 on the interval [0, 5] using the Partition P with partition points 0 < 1.1 < 2 < 3.2 < 4 < 5 and corresponding sample points

  12. Definition of Definite Integral If f is defined on the closed interval [a, b] and the limit exists, the f is integrable on [a, b] and the limit is denoted by The limit is called the definite integral of f from a to b. The number a is the lower limit of integration, and the number b is the upper limit of integration. Definite integral is a number Indefinite integral is a family of functions If a function f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b], then f is integrable on [a, b].
