Use a graphing calculator Riemann Sum (found here) to find the following Riemann sums.
f(x) =
2/x |
from a = 1 to b = 5
(a) Calculate the Riemann sum for the function for the following values of n: 10, 100, and 1000. Use left, right, and midpoint rectangles, making a table of the answers, rounded to three decimal places.
n | Left | Midpoint | Right |
10 | |||
100 | |||
1000 |
(b) Find the exact value of the area under the curve by
evaluating an appropriate definite integral using the Fundamental
Theorem. The values of the Riemann sums from part (a) should
approach this number. (Round your answer to three decimal
places.)
