\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[label=integralofx]{Example:Integralof$f(x)=x$}
\begin{example}<+>
Find$\int_0^3x\,dx$.
\end{example}
\begin{solution}<+>
\action<.>{Forany$n$wehave$\alert<.(5)>{\Deltax=\frac{3}{n}}$andforeach
$i$between$0$and$n$,$\alert<.(4)>{x_i=\frac{3i}{n}}$.}
\action<+>{Foreach$i$,take$x_i$torepresent$f$onthe$i$thinterval.}
\action<+>{So}
\begin{align*}
\action<.>{\int_0^3x\,dx=\lim_{n\to\infty}R_n}
\action<+>{&=\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{i=1}^n\alert<.(1)>{f(x_i)}\,\alert<.
(2)>{\Deltax}}
\action<+>{=\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{i=1}^n
\alert<.>{\left(\frac{\alert<.(2)>{3}i}{\alert<.(2)>{n}}\right)}
\alert<+>{\left(\frac{\alert<.(1)>{3}}{\alert<.(1)>{n}}\right)}\\}
\action<+>{&=\lim_{n\to\infty}\alert<.>{\frac{9}{n^2}}\alert<.(1)>
{\sum_{i=1}^ni}}
\action<+>{=\alert<.(1)>{\lim_{n\to\infty}}\frac{9}{\alert<.(1)>{n^2}}
