I don't just want the answer.

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

A circle with area 16pi has a sector with a central angle of 8/5pi radians. What is the area of the sector?
lianna [129]

Answer:

The area of the sector is 12.8\pi\ units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a complete circle (16π units^2) subtends a central angle of 2π radians

so

using proportion

Find out the area of a sector , if the central angle is equal to 8π/5 radians

\frac{16\pi}{2\pi}=\frac{x}{(8\pi/5)}\\\\x=8(8\pi/5)\\\\x= 12.8\pi\ units^2

The answer is 4. 2x plus 7 is equal to 15. First you subtract 7 from both sides then divide by 2 to get the answer 4. Hope this helps!
