Approximating Area
Find the area under the graph of y = .5x2 + 1 on the interval [-1, 3].
4 right-sided

2 left-sided

8 upper sum

1 lower sum

4 midpoint

4 trapezoids

Homework
f(x) = x3 6x2 + 9x +1 [1, 5]
4 left, 2 right, 8 lower, 1 upper, 4 mid, 8 traps

Trapezoidal Rule
[a, b]

Speaking of patterns:
32 right-sided rectangles.
Even though this is still _____________________ simple geometry and ____________________, no one
feels like doing that much ____________________.
Look back at the work we did for the 4 right sided rectangles.
There is a _________________________ there.
We had 1( 1 ) + 1( 1.5 ) + 1( 3 ) + 1( 5.5 )

Formula for n right sided rectangles:

Why right sided?

Because, eventually we are going to want to look at _______________________ rectangles, and at that point
it just doesnt ____________________ if we are doing right, ________________, __________________ or
____________________. They will all be _____________________.

Find the area under f(x) = x2 + 2x 2 on the interval [1, 3] using 32 right sided rectangles.

This right sided formula approach is handy but I wouldnt use it unless I was asked to use
________________ right sided rectangles.
