Can u please answer question 7 Could you please show your st
Solution
Given that
f(x) = 1/x2 on the interval [ 2 , 5 ] and n = 6
Left end point = 2
Left riemann sum : ( incuding left end point )
( from a to b ) f(x)dx x( f(x0) + f(x1) + f(x2) +...+ f(xn2) + f(xn1) ) , where x = ( ba ) /n.
we have a = 2 , b = 5 , n = 6
x = ( 5 - 2 ) / 6
x = 3 / 6
x = 1 / 2
The six subintervals are,
x0 = 2
x1 = 2 + x = 2 + 1 / 2 = 5/2
x2 = x1 + 1 / 2 = 5/2 + 1/2 = 6/2 = 3
x3 = x2 + 1/2 = 3 + 1/2 = 7/2
x4 = x3 + 1/2 = 7/2 + 1/2 = 4
x5 = x4 + 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 = 9/2
f(x) = 1/x2
f(x0) = f(2) = 1/22 = 1/4
f(x1) = f(5/2) = 1/(5/2)2 = 4/25
f(x2) = f(3) = 1/(3)2 = 1/9
f(x3) = f(7/2) = 1/(7/2)2 = 4/49
f(x4) = f( 4) = 1 /(4)2 = 1/16
f(x5) = f( 9/2) = 1/(9/2)2 = 4/81
Hence,
( from 2 to 5 ) 1/x2 dx x ( f(x0) + f(x1) + f(x2) +...+ f(xn2) + f(xn1) ) , where x = ( ba ) /n
1/2 [ (1/4) + ( 4/25) + ( 1/9) + ( 4/49) + (1/16) + (4/81) ]
0.3573132401
Therefore,
Left reimann sum = 0.36
Right riemann sum : ( including right end point )
Right end point = 5
( from a to b ) f(x)dx x( f(x1) + f(x2) +...+ f(xn2) + f(xn1) ) , where x = ( ba ) /n.
we have a = 2 , b = 5 , n = 6
x = ( 5 - 2 ) / 6
x = 3 / 6
x = 1 / 2
The six subintervals are
x1 = 2 + x = 2 + 1 / 2 = 5/2
x2 = x1 + 1 / 2 = 5/2 + 1/2 = 6/2 = 3
x3 = x2 + 1/2 = 3 + 1/2 = 7/2
x4 = x3 + 1/2 = 7/2 + 1/2 = 4
x5 = x4 + 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 = 9/2
x6 = 5
f(x) = 1/x2
f(x1) = f(5/2) = 1/(5/2)2 = 4/25
f(x2) = f(3) = 1/(3)2 = 1/9
f(x3) = f(7/2) = 1/(7/2)2 = 4/49
f(x4) = f( 4) = 1 /(4)2 = 1/16
f(x5) = f( 9/2) = 1/(9/2)2 = 4/81
f(x6) = f(5) = 1/(5)2 = 1/25
Hence,
( from 2 to 5 ) 1/x2 dx x ( f(x1) + f(x2) +...+ f(xn2) + f(xn1) ) , where x = ( ba ) /n
1/2 [ ( 4/25) + ( 1/9) + ( 4/49) + (1/16) + (4/81) + (1/25) ]
0.2523132401
Therefore,
Right reimann sum = 0.25
