Warm-Up: January 31, 2013 • Use your RIEMANN program to find the area under f(x) from x=a to x=b using each rectangular approximation method (LRAM, MRAM, and RRAM) with n=10
Definite Integrals Section 5.2
Sigma Notation • The Greek capital Sigma, Σ, stands for “sum.” • The index, k, tells us where to start (below Σ) and where to end (above Σ).
Riemann Sums • RRAM, MRAM, and LRAM are examples of Riemann sums • Function f(x) on interval [a, b] • We partitioned the interval into nsubintervals (to make the bases of our n rectangles). • Let’s name the x-coordinates at the corners of our rectangles
Riemann Sums • Let’s denote a by x0 and b by xn • The corners of our rectangles make the set • P is called a partition of [a,b] • Our subintervals are the closed intervals • The width of the kth subinterval has width
Riemann Sums • We choose some x value inside each subinterval to be the height of the rectangle. • RRAM: Use the right endpoint • MRAM: Use the midpoint • LRAM: Use the left endpoint • Could use any other point • Let’s call the x value from the kth subinterval ck
Riemann Sums • The area of each rectangle is the product of its height, f(ck), and its width, Δxk • The sum of these areas is • This is the Riemann Sum for f on the interval [a, b]
Question • Have we done any calculus yet?
The Definite Integral • I is the definite integral of f over [a, b] • ||P|| is the longest subinterval length, called the norm of the partition
Definite Integrals ofContinuous Functions • All continuous functions are integrable. • Let f be continuous on [a, b] • Let [a, b] be partitioned into n subintervals of equal length • The definite integral is given by • where each ck is chosen arbitrarily in the kth subinterval
Integration Notation The function is the integrand Upper limit of integration x is the variable of integration Integral sign Lower limit of integration Integral of f from a to b

Evaluating Integrals • We can use geometric areas to evaluate certain integrals, including: • Constant functions (rectangles) • Linear functions (trapezoid) • Semi-circles
Integrals of Constants • If f(x)=c, where c is a constant, then:
