Limit Formula To Evaluate Definite Integral As The Limit of A Sum - Applications of Integration - Mathematics

This document discusses the limit formula for evaluating a definite integral as the limit of a sum. It explains that to evaluate the definite integral from a to b of f(x) dx, the interval [a,b] is divided into n equal subintervals with width h. The integral is then approximated as the sum of f(x) evaluated at the left endpoint of each subinterval multiplied by the subinterval width h. In the limit as n approaches infinity and h approaches 0, this approximation approaches the true value of the definite integral.

Limit Formula to Evaluate b∫a f ( x)dx

Divide the interval [a , b] into n equal subintervals [ x0, x1 ], [ x1, x2 ], . . . , [ xn-2, xn-1 ], [ xn-1,
xn ], such that a = x0 < x1 < x2 < . . . < xn −1 < xn = b . Then, we have x1 – x0 = x2 – x1 = . . . = xn –
xn-1 = b-a / n . Put h = b−a / n. Then, we get xi = a + ih, i = 1, 2, , n.

So, by the definition of definite integral, we get
