This has to be false right? Suppose we are going to consider the disk of radius r as the region bounded between the graphs of the functions √(r^2-x^2) and -√(r^2-x^2). Then the area of the disk can be expressed as the limit of Riemann sums of rectangles of length Δx and height 2√(r^2-x^2) where xi are a partition of the interval [−r,r].

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea its false

OpenStudy (clarence):

Think you could help me prove it? I mean, it just sounds false in my head.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your right man it definently is false think i spelled that wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Δx and height 2√(r^2-x^2) where xi are a partition of the interval the height is 3 then the check mark

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its deffinetly false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if ur happy with my help click the best response

OpenStudy (phi):

it sounds true to me

OpenStudy (clarence):

Think you can prove it phi?

OpenStudy (phi):

Here is the plot of f(x)= √(r^2-x^2) , but with r=1

OpenStudy (phi):

f(x) in that graph is the top part of a circle the other graph g(x) = - sqrt(r^2-x^2) will be the bottom half of the circle

OpenStudy (phi):

*** Then the area of the disk can be expressed as the limit of Riemann sums of rectangles of length Δx and height 2√(r^2-x^2) where xi are a partition of the interval [−r,r]. *** This means we have lots of rectangles between -1 and 1 (let r=1 in this case) |dw:1444056657537:dw| the height of each thin rectangle is the top y value (i.e. f(x) ) minus the bottom y-value g(x) the width of each rectangle is \( \Delta x \)
