Example Question #141 : Ap Calculus Bc

$\begin{align*}&\text{Using the method of midpoint Riemann sums approximate the integral:}\\&\int_{4}^{9.4}(-15sin(x^{2}))dx\\&\text{Using }3\text{ intervals.}\end{align*}$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

2.88

Explanation:

$\begin{align*}&\text{A Riemann sum integral approximation over an interval [a, b]}\\&\text{with n subintervals follows the form:}\\&\int_a^b f(x)dx \approx \frac{b-a}{n}(f(x_1)+f(x_2)+...+f(x_n))\\&\text{It is essentially a sum of n rectangles, each with a base of}\\&\text{length :}\frac{b-a}{n}\text{ and variable heights :}f(x_i)\text{, which depend on the function value at }x_i\\&\text{We're asked to approximate}\int_{4}^{9.4}(-15sin(x^{2}))dx\\&\text{So the interval is }[4,9.4]\text{ the subintervals have length }\frac{9.4-(4)}{3}=\frac{9}{5}\\&\text{and since we are using the *mid*point of each interval, the x-values are:}\\&[\frac{49}{10},\frac{67}{10},\frac{17}{2}]\\&\int_{4}^{9.4}(-15sin(x^{2}))dx=\frac{9}{5}[(-15sin(\frac{2401}{100}))+(-15sin(\frac{4489}{100}))+(-15sin(\frac{289}{4}))]\\&\int_{4}^{9.4}(-15sin(x^{2}))dx=2.88\end{align*}$
