Math 155 Fall 2002 Worksheet 11: Riemann Sums and Function Approximation, Assignments of Calculus

This worksheet covers the concept of riemann sums and function approximation. Students are required to write riemann sums for a given function on a specific interval using different partitions and endpoint selections. Additionally, they are asked to interpret a given sum as a riemann sum for a function on the interval [0, 1].

Math 155 โ€“ Fall 2002 WORKSHEET 11

NAME: Section:

  1. For the function f (x) = 4 โˆ’ 3 x on the interval [1, 2], do the following: (a) Write the Riemann Sum for the partition of [1, 2] into the 4 subintervals [1, 54 ], [ 54 , 32 ], [ 32 , 74 ], [ 74 , 2], when the right hand endpoints are selected for the xโˆ— i.

(b) Use the regular partition of [1, 2] into n equal subintervals and select the right hand endpoints for the xโˆ— i to write a Riemann Sum for f (x).

(c) Compute the value of the Riemann Sum in part (b) as a function of n, then take

the limit as n โ†’ โˆž to determine the value of

Explain why the sum can be interpreted as a Riemann sum for a function f (x) on the interval [0, 1]. That is, guess the function f (x), the partition of the interval โˆ†x, and the xโˆ— i selection, so that the sum is
