Step 1: Understand the problem. The integral ∫₁⁴ (3𝓍 - 2) d𝓍 represents the area under the curve of the function f(𝓍) = 3𝓍 - 2 from 𝓍 = 1 to 𝓍 = 4. To approximate this integral using the right Riemann sum, we divide the interval [1, 4] into n = 3 subintervals.
Step 2: Determine the width of each subinterval. The width Δ𝓍 is calculated as Δ𝓍 = (b - a) / n, where a = 1, b = 4, and n = 3. Substitute these values into the formula to find Δ𝓍.
Step 3: Identify the right endpoints of each subinterval. The right endpoints are calculated as 𝓍₁ = a + Δ𝓍, 𝓍₂ = a + 2Δ𝓍, and 𝓍₃ = a + 3Δ𝓍. Use the value of Δ𝓍 from Step 2 to compute these endpoints.
Step 4: Evaluate the function f(𝓍) = 3𝓍 - 2 at each right endpoint. Substitute the values of 𝓍₁, 𝓍₂, and 𝓍₃ into the function to find f(𝓍₁), f(𝓍₂), and f(𝓍₃).
Step 5: Compute the right Riemann sum. Multiply each function value f(𝓍ᵢ) by the width Δ𝓍 and sum them up: Right Riemann Sum = Δ𝓍 × [f(𝓍₁) + f(𝓍₂) + f(𝓍₃)]. This gives the approximation for the integral.

Riemann Sums

Riemann sums are a method for approximating the value of a definite integral by dividing the area under a curve into small rectangles. The sum of the areas of these rectangles provides an estimate of the integral's value. Depending on the chosen points (left, right, or midpoint) for the height of the rectangles, different types of Riemann sums can be calculated, which converge to the actual integral as the number of rectangles increases.

Definite Integral

A definite integral represents the signed area under a curve defined by a function over a specific interval [a, b]. It is denoted as ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx and can be interpreted as the limit of Riemann sums as the number of subdivisions approaches infinity. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus connects differentiation and integration, allowing us to evaluate definite integrals using antiderivatives.

Definition of the Definite Integral

Partitioning the Interval

Partitioning the interval involves dividing the range of integration into smaller subintervals, which is essential for calculating Riemann sums. For n subintervals, the width of each subinterval is Δx = (b - a)/n. In this case, with n = 3 for the integral from 1 to 4, the interval is divided into three equal parts, allowing for the evaluation of the function at specific points to approximate the area under the curve.
