Step 1: Understand the problem. The goal is to estimate the area under the curve ƒ(𝓍) = x² ― 1 on the interval [2,5] using Riemann sums with n = 75 subintervals. This involves dividing the interval into 75 equal parts and summing the areas of rectangles formed under the curve.
Step 2: Calculate the width of each subinterval (Δx). The formula for Δx is Δx = (b - a) / n, where [a, b] is the interval and n is the number of subintervals. Here, a = 2, b = 5, and n = 75.
Step 3: Determine the x-values for the subintervals. These are the points where the function will be evaluated. For a left Riemann sum, the x-values are x₀, x₁, ..., xₙ₋₁, where xₖ = a + kΔx for k = 0, 1, ..., n-1. For a right Riemann sum, the x-values are x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ, where xₖ = a + kΔx for k = 1, 2, ..., n.
Step 4: Evaluate the function ƒ(𝓍) = x² ― 1 at each x-value. For each subinterval, calculate the height of the rectangle by substituting the x-value into the function ƒ(𝓍).
Step 5: Compute the Riemann sum. Multiply the height of each rectangle (ƒ(xₖ)) by the width of the subinterval (Δx), and sum these products over all subintervals. This sum will approximate the area under the curve on the interval [2,5].

Riemann Sums

Riemann sums are a method for approximating the definite integral of a function over an interval. By dividing the interval into 'n' subintervals and calculating the sum of the areas of rectangles formed by the function's values at specific points (left, right, or midpoints), we can estimate the total area under the curve. As 'n' increases, the approximation becomes more accurate, converging to the actual integral.

Definite Integral

The definite integral of a function over an interval represents the exact area under the curve of the function between two points. It is denoted as ∫[a,b] f(x) dx, where 'a' and 'b' are the limits of integration. The definite integral can be computed using various techniques, including Riemann sums, and is fundamental in calculus for determining total accumulation, such as area, volume, and displacement.

Function Behavior

Understanding the behavior of the function f(x) = x² - 1 is crucial for estimating the area under its curve. This quadratic function opens upwards and intersects the x-axis at x = -1 and x = 1, meaning it is positive on the interval [2, 5]. Analyzing the function's values within the specified interval helps in determining the area bounded by the graph and the x-axis, which is essential for accurate Riemann sum calculations.
