Can you find the total distance Ms. H travelled between 0 hours and 3.5 hours? 30 20 10 1 2 3 hours 3. How might you approximate the distance travelled between 0 hours and 2 hours for this velocity function? miles 40 30 v(t) 20 10 1 2 hours To approximate the area under a curve (or accumulated distance from a velocity function, we can divide the region into rectangles and find the sum of the areas. Symbol for Riemann Sum to add a large number of thin rectangles to approximate such an area we write: If we use to add an number of very thin rectangles this becomes the area By definition, an infinite Riemann sum is a Definite Integral and we write:
Example 1A 1B: Approximate the area under the curve y = x 2 from x = 0 to x = 1 using 8 "Left-Endpoint rectangles" and then by using 8 Right-Endpoint Rectangles. In symbols: Find L 8 and R 8 Example 2: Approximate the area under the curve f(x) = e -x from x = 0 to x = 2 by using 4 "Midpoint rectangles" In symbols: For f(x) = e x, find M 4 When we are given tabular velocity data, we can only estimate total distance travelled by using a sum of rectangles. Example 3A & B: Estimate total distance by finding: a) L 3 and then by finding b) R 3. Time (hours) 0 2 3 7 Velocity (mi/h) 0 50 40 20
