534 B

Formal Definition

Let f be a continuous function on an interval [a, b].

Divide [a, b] into n equal parts of width \Delta x = \dfrac{b-a}{n}.

Let x_0, x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_n be the endpoints of this subdivision. x_0 = a and x_n = b.

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

  • \Delta x refers to the width of each sub-interval
  • f(x_i) refers to the height of each subinterval.

Then let f be a continous function on [a, b] and let F be the any derivative of f (i.e )
