1 1 Example 1 Estimate by the six Rectangle Rules using the regular partition P of the interval [0,1] into 4 subintervals. Solution This definite integral gives the area of a quarter circle of radius 1 and therefore has value  /4. Hence estimating this integral means estimating the value of  /4. Note that P = {0, ¼, ½, ¾, 1} with each subinterval of width ¼. The four subintervals are: [0, ¼ ], [¼, ½], [½,¾] and [¾, 1] while the function is Then The L k are the heights of the 4 rectangles used to approximate this definite integral. In the Left Endpoint Rule the L k are the values of f on the left endpoints of the four subintervals: f(0), f(¼), f(½), f(¾). In the Right Endpoint Rule the L k are the values of f on the right endpoints of the four subintervals: f(¼), f(½), f(¾), f(1).

2 2 In the Midpoint Rule the L k are the values of f on the midpoints of the four subintervals: f(1/8), f(3/8), f(5/8), f(7/8). In the Trapezoid Rule the L k are the averages of the values of f on the endpoints of each of the four subintervals: ½[f(0)+f(¼)], ½[f(¼)+f(½)], ½[f(½)+f(¾)], ½[f(¾)+f(1)]. Therefore, the Lower Riemann sum coincides with the estimate of the Right Endpoint Rule and the Upper Riemann sum coincides with estimate of the Left Endpoint Rule. Since the function f is decreasing on [0,1], it has its maximum value at the left endpoint of each subinterval and its minimum value at the right endpoint of each subinterval. The values of the L k are summarized in the table on the next slide The 4 subintervals are: [0, ¼ ], [¼, ½], [½,¾], [¾, 1].
