Consider the following theorem. Theorem If f is integrable on [a, b], then b a f(x) dx = lim n→[infinity] n i = 1 f(xi)Δx where

Δx = b − a n and xi = a + iΔx. Use the given theorem to evaluate the definite integral. 9 (x2 − 4x + 6) dx 1

Split up the interval [1, 9] into <em>n</em> subintervals of equal length (9 - 1)/<em>n</em> = 8/<em>n</em> :

[1, 1 + 8/<em>n</em>], [1 + 8/<em>n</em>, 1 + 16/<em>n</em>], [1 + 16/<em>n</em>, 1 + 24/<em>n</em>], …, [1 + 8 (<em>n</em> - 1)/<em>n</em>, 9]

It should be clear that the left endpoint of each subinterval make up an arithmetic sequence, so that the <em>i</em>-th subinterval has left endpoint

1 + 8/<em>n</em> (<em>i</em> - 1)

Then we approximate the definite integral by the sum of the areas of <em>n</em> rectangles with length 8/<em>n</em> and height f(x_i) :

\displaystyle \int_1^9 (x^2-4x+6) \,\mathrm dx \approx \sum_{i=1}^n \frac8n\left(\left(1+\frac8n(i-1)\right)^2-4\left(1+\frac8n(i-1)\right)+6\right)

Take the limit as <em>n</em> approaches infinity and the approximation becomes exact. So we have

\displaystyle \int_1^9 (x^2-4x+6) \,\mathrm dx = \lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{i=1}^n \frac8n\left(\left(1+\frac8n(i-1)\right)^2-4\left(1+\frac8n(i-1)\right)+6\right) \\\\ = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8n \sum_{i=1}^n \left(1+\frac{16}n(i-1)+\frac{64}{n^2}(i-1)^2-4-\frac{32}n(i-1)+6\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8{n^3} \sum_{i=1}^n \left(64(i-1)^2-16n(i-1)+3n^2\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8{n^3} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} \left(64i^2-16ni+3n^2\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8{n^3} \left(64\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}i^2 - 16n\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}i + 3n^2\sum{i=0}^{n-1}1\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8{n^3} \left(\frac{64(2n-1)n(n-1)}{6} - \frac{16n^2(n-1)}{2} + 3n^3\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8{n^3} \left(\frac{49n^3}3-24n^2+\frac{32n}3\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{8\left(49n^2-72n+32\right)}{3n^2} = \boxed{\frac{392}3}

nika2105 [10]
This would mean that she has been in school for about 1,000 days. Thus, we need to figure out the amount of days she would have went to school within the week. This would normally be 5 days within the 7. 

5/100 x 1000 is 714.28

When rounded to the nearest ten, it would end up at 710.
