Exercise Set # 01 : Integrals

”Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” (Albert EINSTEIN)

Exercise 1
Let the following functions :

1. Estimate the area bounded by the graph of f (x),the x−axis and the lines x = a and x = b using

four rectangles and right endpoints.

2. Sketch the plot of f (x) and the rectangles. Is your estimate and overestimate or and understimate

of the true area. Explain your reasoning.

3. Repeat the first question using the left endpoints.
