CHAPTER 4 SECTION 4.3 RIEMANN SUMS AND DEFINITE INTEGRALS. Riemann Sum. Partition the interval [a,b] into n subintervals a = x 0 < x 1 … < x n-1 < x n = b Call this partition P The k th subinterval is x k = x k-1 – x k Largest x k is called the norm , called || ||

Riemann Sum • Partition the interval [a,b] into n subintervalsa = x0 < x1 … < xn-1< xn = b • Call this partition P • The kth subinterval is xk = xk-1 – xk • Largest xk is called the norm, called || || • If all subintervals are of equal length, the norm is called regular. • Choose an arbitrary value from each subinterval, call it
Riemann Sum • Form the sumThis is the Riemann sum associated with • the function f • the given partition P • the chosen subinterval representatives • We will express a variety of quantities in terms of the Riemann sum
This illustrates that the size of∆x is allowed to vary y = f (x) x1* x2* x3* x4* x5* a x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 Etc… Then a < x1 < x2 < x3 < x4 ….etc. is a partition of [ a, b ] Notice the partition ∆x does not have to be the same size for each rectangle. And x1* , x2* , x3* , etc… are x coordinates such that a < x1* < x1, x1 < x2* < x2 , x2 < x3* < x3 , … and are used to construct the height of the rectangles.
The graph of a typical continuous function y = ƒ(x) over [a, b]. Partition [a, b] into n subintervals a < x1 < x2 <…xn < b. Select any number in each subintervalck.Form the product f(ck)xk. Then take the sum of these products.
This is called the Riemann Sum of the partition of x. The width of the largest subinterval of a partition is the norm of the partition, written ||x||. As the number of partitions, n, gets larger and larger, the norm gets smaller and smaller. As n, ||x|| 0 only if ||x|| are the same width!!!!
The Riemann SumCalculated • Consider the function2x2 – 7x + 5 • Use x = 0.1 • Let the = left edgeof each subinterval • Note the sum
The Riemann Sum • We have summed a series of boxes • If the x were smaller, we would have gotten a better approximation f(x) = 2x2 – 7x + 5
Finer partitions of [a, b] create more rectangles with shorter bases.
The Definite Integral • The definite integral is the limit of the Riemann sum • We say that f is integrable when • the number I can be approximated as accurate as needed by making || || sufficiently small • f must exist on [a,b] and the Riemann sum must exist • is the same as saying n

Important for AP test [ and mine too !! ] Recognizing a Riemann Sum as a Definite integral
Recognizing a Riemann Sum as a Definite integral From our textbook Notice the text uses ∆ instead of ∆x, but it is basically the same as our ∆x, and ci is our xi *
Try the reverse : write the integral as a Riemann Sum … also on AP and my test
Relationship between Differentiability, Continuity, and Integrability I D C D – differentiable functions, strongest condition … all Diff’ble functions are continuous and integrable. C – continuous functions , all cont functions are integrable, but not all are diff’ble. I – integrable functions, weakest condition … it is possible they are not con‘t, and not diff‘ble.
Evaluate the following Definite Integral First … remember these sums and definitions: ci = a + i x
EXAMPLEEvaluate the definite integral by the limit definition
Evaluate the definite integral by the limit definition, continued
