Riemann Sum

Riemann Sums is a special type of approximation of the area under a curve by dividing it into multiple simple shapes like rectangles or trapezoids and is used in integrals when finite sums are involved. Figuring out the area of a curve is complex hence t…

Riemann Integral

Bernhard Riemann's integral was the first systematic description of the integral of a function on an interval in the branch of mathematics known as real analysis.

(b) Find the (instantaneous) rate of change of y at x = 5. In the previous part, we found the average rate of change for several intervals of decreasing size starting at x = 5. The instantaneous rate of change of fat x = 5 is the limit of the average rate of change over the interval [x, x + h] as h approaches 0. This is given by the derivative in the following limit. lim h→0 - f(x + h) − f(x) h The first step to find this limit is to compute f(x + h). Recall that this means replacing the input variable x with the expression x + h in the rule defining f. f(x + h) = (x + h)² - 5(x+ h) = 2xh+h2_ x² + 2xh + h² 5✔ - 5 )x - 5h Step 4 - The second step for finding the derivative of fat x is to find the difference f(x + h) − f(x). - f(x + h) f(x) = = (x² x² + 2xh + h² - ])- = 2x + h² - 5h ])x-5h) - (x² - 5x) = ]) (2x + h - 5) Macbook Pro
