Question

Calculate the Riemann sum for f(x)=1/x on [1,6]; n=5 Or see attachment.

Answer 1

so in other words: partition [1,6] into five equal intervals [1,2], [2,3], ... [5,6]. Then the Riemann sum is the sum of the length of those intervals times f evaluated at the midpoint:
\[S_5 = f(1.5)(2-1) + f(2.5)(3-2) + .... \]

Answer 2

Got approx. 1.756 or 6086/3465 :D

Answer 3

Thanks

Answer 4

6086/3465 is what I get too.

Answer 5

Hoorah!
