Step 1: Understand the problem. We are tasked with expressing the right Riemann sum for the integral ∫₁⁴ (3𝓍― 2) d𝓍 in terms of a positive integer n. A Riemann sum approximates the area under a curve by dividing the interval into subintervals and summing up the areas of rectangles.
Step 2: Define the interval and subintervals. The interval of integration is [1, 4]. Divide this interval into n subintervals of equal width Δ𝓍, where Δ𝓍 = (4 - 1)/n = 3/n.
Step 3: Determine the right endpoints of the subintervals. The right endpoint of the i-th subinterval is given by 𝓍ᵢ = 1 + iΔ𝓍, where i ranges from 1 to n.
Step 4: Write the function value at the right endpoint. The function to integrate is f(𝓍) = 3𝓍 - 2. At the right endpoint 𝓍ᵢ, the function value is f(𝓍ᵢ) = 3(1 + iΔ𝓍) - 2.
Step 5: Express the right Riemann sum in summation notation. The right Riemann sum is the sum of the areas of the rectangles, which is given by Sₙ = Σᵢ₌₁ⁿ f(𝓍ᵢ)Δ𝓍. Substituting f(𝓍ᵢ) and Δ𝓍, we get Sₙ = Σᵢ₌₁ⁿ [3(1 + i(3/n)) - 2](3/n).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

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. The choice of points within each subinterval (left, right, or midpoint) affects the accuracy of the approximation.

Definite Integral

A definite integral represents the signed area under a curve between two specified limits, often denoted as ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx. It quantifies the accumulation of quantities, such as area, over an interval. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus links the concept of differentiation with integration, allowing for the evaluation of definite integrals using antiderivatives.

Summation Notation

Summation notation, represented by the sigma symbol (Σ), is a concise way to express the sum of a sequence of terms. In the context of Riemann sums, it is used to represent the total area of rectangles formed by evaluating the function at specific points within subintervals. This notation simplifies the expression of sums, especially as the number of subdivisions increases.
