delta x [a,b]
(b-a)/n
xk
k is any number, Xk= a+k(delta x)
what are the types of rhiemans sums
left (when Xk* is the left limit of the rectangle)
right (when Xk* is the right limit of the rectangle)
middle (when Xk* is the middle limit of the rectangle)
sigma c (c=real number)
cn
sigma k
(n(n=1))/2
sigma k^2
(n(n+1)(2n+1))/6
sigma K^3
(n^2(n+1)^2)/4
xk* left rhiemans sum
a+(k-1)delta x
xk* right rhiemans sum
a+k(delta x)
xk* mid rhiemans sum
a+(k-.5)(delta x)
what is xk*
a point in the Kth interval
reverse
int(a-b) fxdx =-int(b-a) fxdx
general summation rhiemans sum
sigma f(Xk*)(delta x)
steps for evaluating an integral with Riemann sums
- writhe the general equation
- find delta x
- find Xk* using the type of limit you want
- plug in to get one summation equation
- Use summation notation to replace all of the k’s and numbers with n (hint (Xk*)&(delta x) will have parts that pull through)
- simplify the equations until you can take the limit as the system approaches infinity.
area with the fundamental theorem of calculus.
just take the integral and evaluate at the top bound and subtract eh evaluation at the bottom bound.
