Approximating area
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes1,129 views
This document discusses several methods for approximating the area under a curve in calculus, including using rectangles with the right endpoint, left endpoint, and midpoint formulas to divide the area into sections and add them together. It also presents the power sums formula and works through an example problem of using the right endpoint rectangle approximation with N sections to find the area under a given curve and taking the limit as N approaches infinity.
