Section 4.3 Riemann Sums and Definite Integrals

Okay, let's break this down step-by-step: 1) The function is f(x) = x 2) The interval is [1, 5] 3) We partition the interval into n equal subintervals of width Δx = (b - a)/n = (5 - 1)/n = 4/n 4) The points ci are the left endpoints of each subinterval: ci = 1 + iΔx 5) Plug into the Riemann sum: ∑if(ci)Δxi = ∑i(1 + iΔx)Δx = ∑i(1 + i4/n)4/n = 4/n∑

CHAPTER 4

SECTION 4.3
RIEMANN SUMS AND DEFINITE
INTEGRALS
Riemann Sum
1. Partition the interval [a,b] into n subintervals
a = 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.
2. Choose an arbitrary value from each
subinterval, call it ci
Riemann Sum
3. Form the sum
n
Rn  f (c1 )x1  f (c2 )x2  ...  f (cn )xn   f (ci )xi
i 1

This is the Riemann sum associated with


• the function f
• the given partition P
• the chosen subinterval representatives ci
• 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 subinterval ck. Form the product f(ck)xk.
Then take the sum of these products.
n
 f (ck )xk
k 1
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!!!!

• We have summed a series of boxes


• If the x were smaller, we would have
gotten a better approximation
Finer partitions of [a, b] create more rectangles with shorter bases.

• 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
–   0 is the same as saying n  
