You're approximating

\displaystyle\int_1^5 x^2\,\mathrm dx

with a Riemann sum, which comes in the form

\displaystyle\int_a^b f(x)\,\mathrm dx=\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{i=1}^nf(x_i)\Delta x_i

where x_i are sample points chosen according to some decided-upon rule, and \Delta x_i is the distance between adjacent sample points in the interval.

The simplest way of approximating the definite integral is by partitioning the interval into equally-spaced subintervals, in which case \Delta x=\dfrac{b-a}n, and since [a,b]=[1,5], we have

\Delta x=\dfrac{5-1}n=\dfrac4n

Using the right-endpoint method, we approximate the area under f(x) with rectangles whose heights are determined by their right endpoints. These endpoints are chosen by successively adding the subinterval length to the starting point of the interval of integration.

So if we had n=4 subintervals, we'd split up the interval of integration as

[1,5]=[1,2]\cup[2,3]\cup[3,4]\cup[4,5]

Note that the right endpoints follow a precise pattern of

2=1+\dfrac44
3=1+\dfrac84
4=1+\dfrac{12}4
5=1+\dfrac{16}4

The height of each rectangle is then given by the values above getting squared (since f(x)=x^2). So continuing with the example of n=4, the Riemann sum would be

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^4\left(1+\dfrac{4i}4\right)^2\dfrac44

For n=5,

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^5\left(1+\dfrac{4i}5\right)^2\dfrac45

and so on, so that the definite integral is given exactly by the infinite sum

\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{i=1}^n\left(1+\dfrac{4i}n\right)^2\dfrac4n

This shows a part of a multiplication table. Find the missing numbers. Explain how you found the numbers
DedPeter [7]
Well the first part of the table is 7 cause 7x5- 35 x 6 is 42 x 7 49. Second part of the table is 8 x 5 40 x6 is 48 x 7 is 56. once you know this it is easy just to common factor it or just simply add 5 6 or 7 to the numbers already given
