Where ii is the index of summationindex of summation, aaii is the ithith termterm of the sum, and the upperupper and lowerlower bounds of summation are nn and 11.
Note: ii does not have to be 1. Any integer less than or equal to the upper bound is legitimate.

Area
Time out for a
construction!
Now on to
What’s summation got to do with it?
This construction is brought to you by the Greek Mathematician Archimedes!
Back to our favorite function…
y = xy = x22
What’s the area under this curve from x = 0 to x = 2?
y = xy = x22 What’s the area under the curve from x = 0 to x = 2? Let’s approximate it with rectangles…
n = 2 x = _____

So, what is the area under y = x2 from x = 0 to x = 2?• Read and take notes on section 5.2
(p. 295 – 303)
• Use sigma notation and limits to find this area after reading 5.2! Be able to explain and discuss this tomorrow!
• Do p. 303 # multiple of 3’s from 3 to 45 (i.e. 3, 6, 9, 12, …, 39, 42, 45)
Limits, Sigmas and all Limits, Sigmas and all that Jazz….that Jazz….
1. We can find the area under a curve with the help of sigma notation and limits. We can also approximate area with rectangles.
2. Lower sums are found by summing up the areas of inscribed rectangles where n is the number of rectangles, x is the width of each rectangle, and f(mi) is the height of each inscribed rectangle.
3. Upper sums are found by summing up the areas of circumscribed rectangles where n is the number of rectangles, x is the width of each rectangle, and f(Mi) is the height of each circumscribed rectangle.
4. As the number of rectangles approach infinity, the lower sums = the upper sums.
In other words…..What have we learned from Archimedes?
Left vs. Right EndpointsLeft vs. Right Endpoints
• Find ∆x which is the width of each partition on the interval [A, B]
• The left endpoints can be found using the following formula if i = 1. Why? A + (i -1) x
• The right endpoints can be found using the following formula if i = 1. Why? A + (i) x
x= B – A n

• Now what happens if the function doesn’t stay strictly increasing or decreasing and I want to find lower or upper sums?
Right....there’s LIMITS!
