(a) Compute the left-hand Riemann sum approximation of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_0^3 f(x)~dx} with Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n=3} boxes.
(b) Compute the right-hand Riemann sum approximation of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_0^3 f(x)~dx} with Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n=3} boxes.
(c) Express Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_0^3 f(x)~dx} as a limit of right-hand Riemann sums (as in the definition of the definite integral). Do not evaluate the limit.
| Foundations: |
|---|
| 1. The height of each rectangle in the left-hand Riemann sum is given by choosing the left endpoint of the interval. |
| 2. The height of each rectangle in the right-hand Riemann sum is given by choosing the right endpoint of the interval. |
| 3. See the Riemann sums (insert link) for more information. |
Solution:
(a)
| Step 1: |
|---|
| Since our interval is Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle [0,3]} and we are using 3 rectangles, each rectangle has width 1. |
| So, the left-hand Riemann sum is |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 1(f(0)+f(1)+f(2)).} |
| Step 2: |
|---|
| Thus, the left-hand Riemann sum is |
|
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{1(f(0)+f(1)+f(2))} & = & \displaystyle{1+0+-3}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{-2.} \end{array}} |
(b)
| Step 1: |
|---|
| Since our interval is Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle [0,3]} and we are using 3 rectangles, each rectangle has width 1. |
| So, the right-hand Riemann sum is |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 1(f(1)+f(2)+f(3)).} |
| Step 2: |
|---|
| Thus, the right-hand Riemann sum is |
|
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{1(f(1)+f(2)+f(3))} & = & \displaystyle{0+-3+-8}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{-11.} \end{array}} |
(c)
| Step 1: |
|---|
| Let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n} be the number of rectangles used in the right-hand Riemann sum for Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x)=1-x^2.} |
| The width of each rectangle is |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \Delta x=\frac{3-0}{n}=\frac{3}{n}.} |
| Step 2: |
|---|
| So, the right-hand Riemann sum is |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \Delta x \bigg(f\bigg(1\cdot \frac{3}{n}\bigg)+f\bigg(2\cdot \frac{3}{n}\bigg)+f\bigg(3\cdot \frac{3}{n}\bigg)+\ldots +f(3)\bigg).} |
| Finally, we let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n} go to infinity to get a limit. |
| Thus, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_0^3 f(x)~dx} is equal to Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{3}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}f\bigg(i\frac{3}{n}\bigg).} |
| Final Answer: |
|---|
| (a) Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle -2} |
| (b) Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle -11} |
| (c) Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{3}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}f\bigg(i\frac{3}{n}\bigg)} |
