Example Question #91 : How To Find Midpoint Riemann Sums

Using the method of midpoint Riemann sums, approximate the integral $\int_0^9 1.2^{x+1}$ using three midpoints.

Possible Answers:

9.01

15.13

31.90

22.16

27.04

Correct answer:

27.04

Explanation:

A Riemann sum integral approximation over an interval [a,b] with subintervals follows the form:

$\int_a^b f(x)dx \approx \frac{b-a}{n}(f(x_1)+f(x_2)+...+f(x_n))$

It is essentially a sum of rectangles each with a base of length $\frac{b-a}{n}$ and variable heights f(x_i) , which depend on the function value at a given point x_i .

We are approximating $\int_0^9 1.2^{x+1}$

So the interval is [0,9] , the subintervals have length $\frac{9-0}{3}=3$ , and since we are using the midpoints of each interval, the x-values are [1.5,4.5,7.5]

$\int_0^9 1.2^{x+1}\approx 3[1.2^{1.5+1}+1.2^{4.5+1}+1.2^{7.5+1}]$

$\int_0^9 1.2^{x+1}\approx 27.04$

Correct answer:

265.4

Explanation:

A Riemann sum integral approximation over an interval [a,b] with subintervals follows the form:

$\int_a^b f(x)dx \approx \frac{b-a}{n}(f(x_1)+f(x_2)+...+f(x_n))$

It is essentially a sum of rectangles each with a base of length $\frac{b-a}{n}$ and variable heights f(x_i) , which depend on the function value at a given point x_i .

We are approximating $\int_3^7 1.02^{x^3}$

So the interval is [3,7] , the subintervals have length $\frac{7-3}{4}=1$ , and since we are using the midpoints of each interval, the x-values are [3.5,4.5,5.5,6.5]

$\int_3^7 1.02^{x^3}\approx 1[1.02^{3.5^3}+1.02^{4.5^3}+1.02^{5.5^3}+1.02^{6.5^3}]$

$\int_3^7 1.02^{x^3} \approx 265.4$

Example Question #93 : How To Find Midpoint Riemann Sums

Using the method of midpoint Riemann sums, approximate the integral $\int_{-1.2}^{2.4}cos(1.7^{x^{1.3}})$ using four midpoints.

Possible Answers:

0.149+0.115i

0.149-0.115i

0.115-0.149i

0.231+i

0.115+0.149i

Correct answer:

0.115+0.149i

Explanation:

A Riemann sum integral approximation over an interval [a,b] with subintervals follows the form:

$\int_a^b f(x)dx \approx \frac{b-a}{n}(f(x_1)+f(x_2)+...+f(x_n))$

It is essentially a sum of rectangles each with a base of length $\frac{b-a}{n}$ and variable heights f(x_i) , which depend on the function value at a given point x_i .

We're approximating $\int_{-1.2}^{2.4}cos(1.7^{x^{1.3}})$

So the interval is [-1.2,2.4] , the subintervals have length $\frac{2.4-(-1.2)}{4}=0.9$ , and since we are using the midpoints of each interval, the x-values are [-0.75,0.15,1.05,1.95]

${\int_{-1.2}^{2.4}cos(1.7^{x^{1.3}})\approx 0.9[cos(1.7^{(-0.75)^{1.3}})+cos(1.7^{(0.15)^{1.3}})+cos(1.7^{(1.05)^{1.3}})+cos(1.7^{(1.95)^{1.3}})]}$

$\int_{-1.2}^{2.4}cos(1.7^{x^{1.3}}) \approx 0.115+0.149i$

It is essentially a sum of rectangles each with a base of length $\frac{b-a}{n}$ and variable heights f(x_i) , which depend on the function value at a given point x_i .

We're approximating $\int_0^3 tan(x^2)dx$

So the interval is [0,3] , the subintervals have length $\frac{3-0}{3}=1$ , and since we are using the midpoints of each interval, the x-values are [0.5,1.5,2.5]

$\int_0^3 tan(x^2)dx \approx 1[ tan(0.5^2)+ tan(1.5^2)+ tan(2.5^2)]=-1.02$

Explanation:

A Reimann sum integral approximation over an interval [a,b] with subintervals follows the form:

$\int_a^b f(x)dx \approx \frac{b-a}{n}(f(x_1)+f(x_2)+...+f(x_n))$

It is essentially a sum of rectangles each with a base of length $\frac{b-a}{n}$ and variable heights f(x_i) , which depend on the function value at a given point x_i .

We're approximating $\int_1^5 ln(tan(2^x))dx$

So the interval is [1,5] , the subintervals have length $\frac{5-1}{4}=1$ , and since we are using the midpoints of each interval, the x-values are [1.5,2.5,3.5,4.5]

$\int_1^5 ln(tan(2^x))dx \approx 1[ln(tan(2^{1.5}))+ln(tan(2^{2.5}))+ln(tan(2^{3.5}))+ln(tan(2^{4.5}))]$

$\int_1^5 ln(tan(2^x))dx \approx -0.64 +9.42i$

We're approximating $\int_2^8 \frac{1}{tan(3^x)}dx$

So the interval is [2,8] , the subintervals have length $\frac{8-2}{2}=3$ , and since we are using the midpoints of each interval, the x-values are [3.5,6.5]

$\int_2^8 \frac{1}{tan(3^x)}dx \approx 3[\frac{1}{tan(3^{3.5})}+\frac{1}{tan(3^{6.5})}]=-19.5$

It is essentially a sum of rectangles each with a base of length $\frac{b-a}{n}$ and variable heights f(x_i) , which depend on the function value at a given point x_i .

We're approximating $\int_3^9 \frac{3^{x}}{2^{x}}dx$

So the interval is [3,9] , the subintervals have length $\frac{9-3}{3}=2$ , and since we are using the midpoints of each interval, the x-values are [4,6,8]

$\int_a^b f(x)dx \approx \frac{b-a}{n}(f(x_1)+f(x_2)+...+f(x_n))$

It is essentially a sum of rectangles each with a base of length $\frac{b-a}{n}$ and variable heights f(x_i) , which depend on the function value at a given point x_i .

We're approximating $\int_1^{2.5} tan(\frac{1}{x^{1.4}})$

So the interval is [1,2.5] , the subintervals have length $\frac{2.5-1}{3}=0.5$ , and since we are using the midpoints of each interval, the x-values are [1.25,1.75,2.25]

$\int_a^b f(x)dx \approx \frac{b-a}{n}(f(x_1)+f(x_2)+...+f(x_n))$

It is essentially a sum of rectangles each with a base of length $\frac{b-a}{n}$ and variable heights f(x_i) , which depend on the function value at a given point x_i .

We're approximating $\int_{2.5}^{4.5} \frac{cos(x^3)}{tan(x^4)}dx$

So the interval is [2.5,4.5] , the subintervals have length $\frac{4.5-2.5}{4}=0.5$ , and since we are using the midpoints of each interval, the x-values are [2.75,3.25,3.75,4.25]

$\int_{2.5}^{4.5} \frac{cos(x^3)}{tan(x^4)}dx \approx 0.5[\frac{cos(2.75^3)}{tan(2.75^4)}+\frac{cos(3.25^3)}{tan(3.25^4)}+\frac{cos(3.75^3)}{tan(3.75^4)}+\frac{cos(4.25^3)}{tan(4.25^4)}]$
