3 A Notes Riemann Sums and Definite Integrals

As the number of rectangles (or partitions) increases,


the width of the smallest one ________________________.

Riemann Sum

Let 𝑓 be defined on [𝑎, 𝑏] and let [𝑎, 𝑏] be partitioned


into “n” subintervals.

∆𝑥𝑖 is the width of the 𝑖 𝑡ℎ subinterval. 𝑐𝑖 is any point in the 𝑖 𝑡ℎ subinterval.


𝑛

∑ 𝑓(𝑐𝑖 )∆𝑥𝑖
𝑖=1

The width of the largest partition is called the _________________. ‖∆‖

If all subintervals are of equal width, then the width of each partition is

As ‖∆‖ → 0 , ________________.
