Riemann Sums Let f be a function that is defined on the closed interval [a,b]. If ∆ is a partition of [a,b] and ∆x i is the width of the ith interval, c i, is any point in the subinterval, then the sum f(c i )∆x i is called a Riemann Sum of f. Furthermore, if exists, lim f(c i )∆x i we say f is integrable on [a,b]. The definite integral, f(x)dx, is the area under the curve ∑ i=1 n n→∞ ∑ i=1 n ∫ b a

Definite Integral vs Riemann Sum Area = f(x) dx ∫ b a Area = Lim ∑A i = Lim ∑f(x i ) ∆x n→∞ i=1 i=n i=1 i=n ∆x = (b – a) / n Area = (3x – 8) dx ∫ 5 2 3i 3 Area = Lim ∑ [3(2 + -----) – 8] (---) n n→∞ i=1 i=n b-a 5-2=3 ∆x [f(x i )] xixi a LH endpoints x i = a + (i-1)∆x RH endpoints x i = a + i∆x
