Cartesian Plane (rectangular coordinate system) is formed by x-axis and y-axis. The

Example 1: Plot the points (2,1) , (0, 0) , (0,5) and (1, 2) .

The Distance Formula

The distance d between the points ( x1 , y1 ) and ( x2 , y2 ) in the plane is

d  ( x2  x1 ) 2  ( y2  y1 ) 2 .

Example 2: Use the Distance Formula to show that the points (2,5), (2, 2) , and (6, 2)
are vertices of a right triangle.

The Midpoint Formula

The midpoint of the segment joining the points ( x1 , y1 ) and ( x2 , y2 ) is

 x1  x2 y1  y2 
Midpoint   , 

x-intercept is in the form of (a,0) if it is a solution point of the equation.

y-intercept is in the form of (0,b) if it is a solution point of the equation.

graphs. To find the points analytically, set the two y-values or two x-values equal to each
other and solve the equation.

The average velocity is the average change in a function over a given time interval. If we
let s (t ) represent the position of a particle at time t, then the average velocity over the
time interval  t1 , t2  is calculated as:
s s(t2 )  s (t1 )
Average velocity = 
t t2  t1

The instantaneous velocity of s (t ) is found by determining the limiting value of the

average velocity as the time interval, t2  t1  t approaches 0.

Proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Let  be a partition of [a, b] with a = x0 < x1 < x2 < ... < xn-1 < xn = b
n
Using this partition, F (b)  F (a ) can be rewritten as   F (x )  F (x )
i 1
i i 1

By the Mean Value Theorem, there exists a number in each subinterval (call it
F ( xi )  F ( xi 1 )
ci) such that F '(ci ) 
xi  xi 1

Because F' is f, F '(ci )  f (ci ) . We let xi = xi - xi-1, which means we can rewrite
n
the sum, above, as F (b)  F (a )   f (ci )xi

The Definite Integral as the Limit of a Sum
29 5.6 – the Midpoint Rule 5.6: 1-12 odd, 17-25 odd

Learning Objective:
1. Use the Midpoint Rule to approximate definite integrals.

Sometimes you cannot use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate a definite
integral unless you can find an antiderivative of the integrand. For example,
 x 1  x dx ,  1  x3 dx . In those cases, you can approximate the value of the
3

integral using some approximation techniques, like Midpoint Rule, Trapezoidal Rule and
Simpson’s Rule.

Example 1: Use five rectangles to approximate the area of the region bounded by the
graph of f ( x)   x 2  5 , the x-axis, and the lines x  0 and x  2 .

155
Note: as n increases, the approximation tends to improve.

Example 2: Use the Midpoint Rule with n  4 to approximate the area of the region
bounded by the graph of f and the x-axis over the interval.

f ( x)  2 x  x 3 ,  0, 1

156
Example 3: Use the Midpoint Rule with n  4 to approximate the area of the region.
Compare your result with the exact area obtained with a definite integral.
f ( y )  4 y  y 2 ,  0, 4

157
The midpoint approximation becomes better and better as n increases. In fact, the limit of
this sum as n approaches infinity is exactly equal to the definite integral on the closed
interval  a, b  .

30 6.5 The Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson’s Rule 6.5: 1-12 odd, 17-25 odd

Learning Objectives:

1. Use the Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson’s Rule to approximate definite integrals.
2. Understand how to analyze the sizes of the errors when approximating definite
integrals with the Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson’s Rule.

In this section, we will develop two methods for estimating  f  x  dx by thinking of the
a

integral as an area problem and using known shapes to estimate the area under the curve.

ba
We will break up the interval [a, b] into n subintervals of width Vx , where Vx  .
n
Then on each subinterval we will approximate the function with a straight line that is
equal to the function values at either endpoint of the interval. Here is a sketch of this case
for n  4 . Each of these objects is a trapezoid and the area of the trapezoid in the interval
Vx
[ xi 1, xi ] is given by Ai   f  xi 1   f  xi  
2 

So, if we use n subintervals the integral is approximately,

159
 b
Vx Vx Vx
 f ( x)dx   f ( x0 )  f ( x1 )   f ( x1 )  f ( x2 )    f ( xn 1 )  f ( xn )
a
2 2 2
Upon doing a little simplification we arrive at the general Trapezoid Rule.
b
Vx
a f ( x)dx  2 [ f ( x0 )  2 f ( x1 )  2 f ( x2 )   2 f ( xn1 )  f ( xn )]
ba
where Vx  and xi  a  i Vx
n
Note that all the function evaluations, with the exception of the first and last, are
multiplied by 2.

160
In the Trapezoid Rule we approximated the curve with a straight line. For Simpson’s
Rule we are going to approximate the function with a quadratic and we’re going to
require that the quadratic agree with three of the points from our subintervals. Below is a
sketch of this using n  6 . Each of the approximations is colored differently so we can
see how they actually work.

161
Notice that each approximation actually covers two of the subintervals. This is the
reason for requiring n to be even. It can be shown that the area under the approximation
on the intervals [ xi 1, xi ] and [ xi , xi 1 ] is,
x
Ai 
3
 f  xi 1   4 f  xi   f  xi 1  
If we use n subintervals the integral is then approximately,
b
Vx Vx
a f ( x)dx  3  f ( x0 )  4 f ( x1 )  f ( x2 )  3  f ( x2 )  4 f ( x3 )  f ( x4 )
Vx
L   f ( xn2 )  4 f ( xn 1 )  f ( xn )
3

Upon simplifying we arrive at the general Simpson’s Rule.

b
Vx
 f ( x)dx 
a
3
[ f ( x0 )  4 f ( x1 )  2 f ( x2 )  4 f ( x3 )   2 f ( xn 2 )  4 f ( xn 1 )  f ( xn )]

ba
where n is even and Vx 
n
Note that all the function evaluations at points with odd subscripts are multiplied by 4
and all the function evaluations at points with even subscripts (except for the first and
last) are multiplied by 2.

162

integral.

None of the estimations in the previous example are all that good. The best
approximation in this case is from the Simpson’s Rule and yet it’s still had an error of
almost 1. To get a better estimation we would need to use a larger n. So, for completeness
sake here are the estimates for some larger value of n.
