hi

hii
OpenStudy (danjs):
what is the reimann sum for the definite intagral
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you explain how to do this prob??????

Which one do you want to use, the Left end point, Right, Middle?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
left
OpenStudy (danjs):
Let \[\Delta x = \frac{ b-a }{ n }\]
where a and b are your interval
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okk
OpenStudy (danjs):
how many boxes do they want, n=? or just leave it as a summation?

so you will get a bunch of rectangles with a base of \[\Delta x\]
and height \[f(a +i \Delta x) \]
OpenStudy (danjs):
where [a,b] is [2,5]
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\sum_{i=1}^{n} f(2+i \Delta x)(\Delta x) \]
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\Delta x = \frac{ b-a }{ n }\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
So the answer is the third one, THe area lis the limit of the sum as i --> infinity

wait
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got it, thanks so much (:
OpenStudy (danjs):
ok yeah you get it correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have a couple more questions to answer, ill let you know(:
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\Delta x = \frac{ 3 }{ n }\]

OpenStudy (danjs):
it is the last answer
OpenStudy (danjs):
here i will type it out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okayy
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[f(x) = x^3\]
\[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty } \sum_{i=1}^{n}f(a + i \Delta x)( \Delta x)\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
that is the function and the definition of the left end point reiman sum

got it(:
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\Delta x = \frac{ b-a }{ n } = \frac{ 5-2 }{ n } = \frac{ 3 }{ n }\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[f(a+i \Delta x) = f(2 + \frac{ 3i }{ n })\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
f(x) = x^3
\[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n} (2+\frac{ 3i }{ n })^3 \frac{ 3 }{ n }\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
see all that?

i totally forgot how to do it, i had to turn to the page in my old calc book. lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hahahh thank you so much you helped a lot
OpenStudy (danjs):
np, same process for a different interval [a,b] and function f(x)
OpenStudy (danjs):
For the left end point, where n = number of boxes you create under the curve
OpenStudy (danjs):
and as n goes off to infinity, the sum approaches the area under the curve exactly
