Preview Look at the definition of the definite integral 𝑦=𝑓(𝑥) on [𝑎,𝑏] Look at its relationship with the area between the graph 𝑦=𝑓(𝑥) and the 𝑥-axis on [𝑎,𝑏] Properties of Definite Integrals
Example 0
Example 0 Use left hand end points to get an estimation
Example 0 Use right hand end points to get an estimation
Example 0 Observation: What happen to the estimation if we increase the number of subintervals?
In General 𝑖th subinterval sample point
In General Suppose 𝑓 is a continuous function defined on [𝑎,𝑏], we divide the interval [𝑎,𝑏] into 𝑛 subintervals of equal width The area of the 𝑖𝑡ℎ rectangle is
In General ith subinterval sample point
In General Sum of the area of the rectangles is Riemann Sum
Sigma Notation for summation In General Sum of the area of the rectangles is Sigma Notation for summation
In General Sum of the area of the rectangles is Final value (upper limit) Initial value (lower limit) Index
In General Sum of the area of the rectangles is As we increase 𝑛, we get better and better estimations.

Definition The Definite Integral of 𝑓 from 𝑎 to 𝑏 Integration : Process of computing integrals
Example 1 Express the limit as a definite integral on the given interval.
Example 1 Express the limit as a definite integral on the given interval.
Remarks We are not going to use this limit definition to compute definite integrals. In section 4.3, we are going to use antiderivative (indefinite integral) to compute definite integrals. We will use this limit definition to derive important properties for definite integrals.
