Limit Formula to Evaluate b∫a f ( x)dx

Divide the interval [a , b] into n equal subintervals [ x0, x1 ], [ x1, x2 ], . . . , [ xn-2, xn-1 ], [ xn-1,
xn ], such that a = x0 < x1 < x2 < . . . < xn −1 < xn = b . Then, we have x1 – x0 = x2 – x1 = . . . = xn –
xn-1 = b-a / n . Put h = b−a / n. Then, we get xi = a + ih, i = 1, 2, , n.

So, by the definition of definite integral, we get
