5.1 Approximating and Computing Area

Preliminary Questions

1. The interval [2, 5] is divided into 6 subintervals in order to calculate R6 for some function. What are the right-endpoints of those subintervals? What are the left-endpoints?

2. If f (x) = x-2 on [3, 7], which is larger: RN or L N ?

3. Which of the following pairs of sums are not equal?

4. The interval [1, 5] is divided into 16 subintervals.

(a) What are the left endpoints of the first and last subintervals? (b) What are the right endpoints of the first two subintervals?

5. True or False: (a) The right-endpoint rectangles lie below the graph of an increasing function. (b) If f is monotonic, then the area under the graph lies in between RN and L N . (c) If f is not monotonic, then L N and RN may converge to different limits as N . (d) If f (x) is constant, then the right-endpoint rectangles all have the same height.

When the number of summands is small, we may compute the sum directly. Where

applicable (especially when the number of summands is large), we may use summation

laws. For illustration, both ways are shown in this exercise.

(a) Do this directly: 3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15. Or use the law for summing a

constant: 3 = (3)(5) = 15.
