4. This question asks you to find an integral using Riemann sums. Recall from lectures,
that a definite integral
f(x) dx can
be defined
as
lim Ln
| f(x) dx
lim Un
where Un and Ln are upper and lower Riemann sums respectively.
(a) Sketch a diagram showing the rectangles corresponding to upper and lower Rie-
Un and Ln on n equal subintervals for the integral
mann sunms,
x² dx.
Include the ith subinterval in your diagram.
(b) Write down expressions for Un and Ln using sigma notation.
(c) The sum of the squares of the first n positive integers is given by the following
formula:
n
12 + 22 + 32 + 4? +52 +
+ (n – 1)² + n² =5k² = n(n+1)(2n + 1)
