The additive property is defined as:
Got it
Trapezoid Rule
A method to solve the area under a curve (the integral of a function) that uses the area of trapezoids drawn by the points on the graph.
Got it
Riemann sum
A method used to approximate the area under a curve (also known as an integral) that utilizes the area of rectangles to estimate the solution.
Got it
Right-handed Riemann sum
This Riemann sum calculation is solved using the height at the right points of the specific interval to estimate the area under a curve.
Got it
Using an interval of 1 from x = 0 to x = 5, find the value of the right-hand Riemann sum for the integral shown.
60. The right-handed Riemann sum leaves us with 2+5+10+17+26, which equals 60.
Got it
Left-sided Riemann sum
Riemann sum calculation where the height at the left point of the specific interval is used to estimate the area under a curve
Got it
Estimate the integral of y = 2x from x = 0 to x = 5 using left Riemann sums. Use a delta x of 1.
20. On the interval from x = 0 to x = 5, we get 0+2+4+6+8, which equals 20.
