AP Calculus Exam: Right Riemann Sum for ∫₀⁴ x² dx with n=4
Aufgabe: For f(x) = x² on [0, 4] with n=4 equal subintervals, compute the Right Riemann Sum and determine if it overestimates or underestimates the exact integral.
Analysestrategie: Step size Δx = (4-0)/4 = 1. Subinterval right endpoints: 1, 2, 3, 4 with values f(1)=1, f(2)=4, f(3)=9, f(4)=16. Since f(x) is monotonically increasing on [0, 4], the right sum strictly overestimates.
Schrittweise Herleitung:
- Step 1: Compute step size Δx = (4 - 0) / 4 = 1.
- Step 2: List right endpoints: x1=1, x2=2, x3=3, x4=4.
- Step 3: Evaluate function values: f(1)=1, f(2)=4, f(3)=9, f(4)=16.
- Step 4: Compute Right Riemann Sum R4 = 1 × (1 + 4 + 9 + 16) = 30.
- Step 5: Exact integral via FTC: [x³/3] from 0 to 4 = 64/3 ≈ 21.333.
- Step 6: Conclusion: Monotonically increasing function implies Right Riemann sum strictly overestimates (30 > 21.33).
⚠️ Häufige Fehlvorstellung: Confusing monotonicity with concavity: Left/Right sum over/underestimation depends on f'(x), whereas Trapezoidal rule over/underestimation depends on f''(x) (concavity).
Arbeitsblatt für den Unterricht & Hausaufgaben
Q1. For a strictly convex (f''>0) increasing curve, does the Trapezoid rule overestimate or underestimate the exact integral?
Answer Key: Overestimates (secant lines lie strictly above the convex curve)
Q2. Compute the exact analytical value of ∫₁³ (2x + 1) dx.
Answer Key: 10 ([x² + x] evaluated from 1 to 3: (9+3) - (1+1) = 10)
Häufige Fragen & typische Missverständnisse
Why does Simpson's rule converge significantly faster than standard rectangular sums?
Rectangles approximate via degree 0 constants, trapezoids via degree 1 lines, but Simpson's rule fits degree 2 parabolas through every 3 consecutive points, giving O(Δx⁴) error convergence.
