The Reimann sum represents the sum of the areas of the rectangles above the x-axis minus the sum of the areas of the rectangles below the x-axis ; that is , the bet area of the rectangles with respect to the x-axis.

(a)Using the right endpoints to approximate R08f (x)dx,we have

i=1f (xi)∆x = 2[f (2) + f (4) + f (6) + f (8)] ≈ 4
(b)Using the left endpoints to approximate R08f (x)dx,we have
P4
i=1f (xi−1)∆x = 2[f (0) + f (2) + f (4) + f (6)] ≈ 6
(c)Using the midpoint of each subinterval to approximate R08f (x)dx,we have
P4
i=1f (xi)∆x = 2[f (1) + f (3) + f (5) + f (7)] ≈ 10 8. ∆x = (b − a)n = 9−33 = 2

P3
i=1f (xi)∆x = 2[f (4) + f (6) + f (8)] = 2(−2.1 + 0.3 + 1.4) = −0.8
We can not say anything about the midpoint compared to the exact value of the integral.
9.∆x = 10−24 = 2,so the endpoints are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and the midpoints are 3, 5, 7, 9.

14.See the solution to Exercise5.1.7 for a possible algorithm to calculate the sums. With ∆x = 1−0100 = 0.01 and subinterval endpoints 1,1.01,1.02,...,1.99,2, we calculate that the left Riemann sum is L100 =P100i=1sin(x2i−1)∆x ≈ 0.30607, and the right Riemann sum is R100=P100i=1sin(x2i)∆x ≈ 0.31448.
Since f (x) = sin(x2) is an increasig function, we have L100 ≤R01sin(x2)dx ≤ R100, so 0.306 < L100 ≤R01sin(x2)dx ≤ R100 < 0.315.
Therefore, the approximate value 0.3084≈ 0.31 in Exercise must be accurate to two decimal places.

(a) Think ofR02f (x)dx as the area of a trapezoid with bases 1 and 3 and height 2. The area of a trapezoid is A = 12(b + B)h, so R02f (x)dx = 12(1 + 3)2 = 4.

(c)R57f (x)dx is the negative of the area of the triangle with base 2 and height 3. R57f (x)dx = −12 ˙2˙3 = −3.
(d) R79f (x)dx is the negative of the area of a trapezoid with base 3 and 2 and height 2 , so it equals −12(B + b)h = −12(3 + 2)2 = −5. Thus,

4 − x2dx can be interpreted as the area under the graph of f (x) =
√4 − x2 between x = −2 and x = 2 . This is equal to half the area of the
circle with radius 2 , so R−22 √
4 − x2dx = 12π ˙22 = 2π.
