Outcomes

3.3.2.1

examine the area problem, and use sums of the form ∑_i 𝑓(𝑥_𝑖) 𝛿𝑥_𝑖, to estimate the area under the curve 𝑦=𝑓(𝑥)

3.3.2.2

use the trapezoidal rule for the approximation of the value of a definite integral numerically

3.3.2.3

interpret the definite integral ∫ (from a to b) 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑x as area under the curve 𝑦=𝑓(𝑥) if 𝑓(𝑥)>0

3.3.2.4

recognise the definite integral ∫ (from a to b) 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑x as a limit of sums of the form ∑_i 𝑓(𝑥_𝑖) 𝛿𝑥_i
