Exact Area Use geometric shapes such as rectangles, circles, trapezoids, triangles etc… rectangle parallelogram triangle
Midpoint • Trapezoidal Rule Approximate Area
Riemann sums • Left endpoint • Right endpoint Approximate Area
Inscribed Rectangles: rectangles remain under the curve. Slightly underestimates the area. Circumscribed Rectangles: rectangles are slightly above the curve. Slightly overestimates the area LeftEndpoints
Leftendpoints: Increasing: inscribed Decreasing: circumscribed RightEndpoints: increasing: circumscribed, decreasing: inscribed
The area under a curve bounded by f(x)and the x-axis and the lines x = aand x = bis given by Where and n is the number of sub-intervals
Therefore: Inscribed rectangles Circumscribed rectangles 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 http://archives.math.utk.edu/visual.calculus/4/areas.2/index.html
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
+ -
2) Approximate the area under from With 4 subintervals using inscribed rectangles
3) Approximate the area under from Using the midpoint formula and n = 4
4) Approximate the area under the curve between x = 0 and x = 2 Using the Trapezoidal Rule with 6 subintervals
5) Use Simpson’s Rule to approximate the area under the curve on the interval using 8 subintervals
6) The rectangles used to estimate the area under the curve on the interval using 5 subintervals with right endpoints will be • Inscribed • Circumscribed • Neither • both
7) Find the area under the curve on the interval using 4 inscribed rectangles
