2
Exact Area Use geometric shapes such as rectangles, circles, trapezoids, triangles etc… rectangle triangle parallelogram
3
Approximate Area Midpoint Trapezoidal Rule
4
Approximate Area Riemann sums Left endpoint Right endpoint
5
Inscribed Rectangles: rectangles remain under the curve. Slightly underestimates the area. Circumscribed Rectangles: rectangles are slightly above the curve. Slightly overestimates the area Left Endpoints
6
Left endpoints: Increasing: inscribed Decreasing: circumscribed Right Endpoints: increasing: circumscribed, decreasing: inscribed
7
The area under a curve bounded by f(x) and the x-axis and the lines x = a and x = b is given by Where and n is the number of sub-intervals
8
Therefore: Inscribed rectangles Circumscribed rectangles http://archives.math.utk.edu/visual.calculus/4/areas.2/index.html The sum of the area of the inscribed rectangles is called a lower sum, and the sum of the area of the circumscribed rectangles is called an upper sum
9
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: If f(x) is continuous at every point [a, b] and F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x) on [a, b] then the area under the curve can be approximated to be

11
Simpson’s Rule:
12
1) Find the area under the curve from
13
2) Approximate the area under from With 4 subintervals using inscribed rectangles
14
3) Approximate the area under from Using the midpoint formula and n = 4
15
4) Approximate the area under the curve between x = 0 and x = 2 Using the Trapezoidal Rule with 6 subintervals
16
5) Use Simpson’s Rule to approximate the area under the curve on the interval using 8 subintervals
17
6) The rectangles used to estimate the area under the curve on the interval using 5 subintervals with right endpoints will be a)Inscribed b)Circumscribed c)Neither d)both
18
7) Find the area under the curve on the interval using 4 inscribed rectangles
