Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 0.555...

10x = 5.555...

10x-x = 5.555... - 0.555...

9x = 5

x = 5/9

For the function given below, find a formula for the riemann sum obtained by dividing the interval [a,b] into n equal subinter

Nata [24]

We split [2, 4] into $n$ subintervals of length $\dfrac{4-2}n=\dfrac2n$ ,

$[2,4]=\left[2,2+\dfrac2n\right]\cup\left[2+\dfrac2n,2+\dfrac4n\right]\cup\left[2+\dfrac4n,2+\dfrac6n\right]\cup\cdots\cup\left[2+\dfrac{2(n-1)}n,4\right]$

so that the right endpoints are given by the sequence

$x_i=2+\dfrac{2i}n=\dfrac{2(n+i)}n$

for $1\le i\le n$ . Then the Riemann sum approximating

$\displaystyle\int_2^42x\,\mathrm dx$

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^nf(x_i)\dfrac{4-2}n=\frac8{n^2}\sum_{i=1}^n(n+i)=\frac8{n^2}\left(n^2+\frac{n(n+1)}2\right)=\frac{12n+4}n$

The integral is given exactly as $n\to\infty$ , for which we get

$\displaystyle\int_2^42x\,\mathrm dx=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{12n+4}n=12$

To check: we have

$\displaystyle\int_2^42x\,\mathrm dx=x^2\bigg|_2^4=4^2-2^2=16-4=12$
