Find the exact atea under y=x^2 on the interval [0,2] by using an infinite number of circumscribed rectangles. (hint: 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + +n^2= n(n+1) (2n+1) /6.)

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE: Neither the Trapezoidal Rule or Reimann Sums can be used without the number of rectangles (n) you are separating the interval into.  Besides, they only provide an estimate. If you want the EXACT area, you must use integration.

We first partition the interval [0, 2] into sub-intervals:

Notice how each sub-interval has length .

Since is an increasing function on the interval [0, 2] (which is evident from the fact that for ), the circumscribed rectangles will have heights determined by the right endpoints of each sub-interval. This is to say, for the -th sub-interval, the area of the rectangle is

where . So the area is approximated by the Riemann sum

where the second equality makes use of the given hint, and we simplify from there.

The exact area is obtained by taking the limit as (and by definition is equivalent to the definite integral over [0, 2]):

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
