We begin by attempting to solve the area problem: Find the area of the region S that lies
under the curve y f sxd from a to b. This means that S, illustrated in Figure 1, is bounded
by the graph of a continuous function f [where f sxd ù 0], the vertical lines x a and
x b, and the x-axis.

x=a
S x=b

In trying to solve the area problem we have to ask ourselves: What is the meaning of
the word area ? This question is easy to answer for regions with straight sides. For a rect-
angle, the area is defined as the product of the length and the width. The area of a triangle
is half the base times the height. The area of a polygon is found by dividing it into
triangles (as in Figure 2) and adding the areas of the triangles.

However, it isn’t so easy to find the area of a region with curved sides. We all have an
intuitive idea of what the area of a region is. But part of the area problem is to make this
intuitive idea precise by giving an exact definition of area.
Recall that in defining a tangent we first approximated the slope of the tangent line by
slopes of secant lines and then we took the limit of these approximations. We pursue a sim-
8 ❙❙❙❙ SECTION 2 AREA
ilar idea for areas. We first approximate the region S by polygons and then we take the limit
of the areas of these polygons. The following example illustrates the procedure.
EXAMPLE 1 Let’s try to find the area under the parabola y x 2 from 0 to 1 (the parabolic
region S illustrated in Figure 3).

FIGURE 3
One method of approximating the desired area is to divide the interval f0, 1g into
subintervals of equal length and consider the rectangles whose bases are these
subintervals and whose heights are the values of the function at the right-hand endpoints
of these subintervals. Figure 4 shows the approximation of the parabolic region by four,
eight, and n rectangles

From Figure 4 it appears that, as n increases, S n becomes a better and better approxima-
tion to the area of the parabolic segment. Therefore we define the area A to be the limit
of the sums of the areas of the approximating rectangles, that is,
A lim S n 13

In applying the idea of Example 1 to the more general region S of Figure 1, we have no
need to use rectangles of equal width. We start by subdividing the interval fa, bg into n
smaller subintervals by choosing partition points x 0 , x 1, x 2 , . . . , x n so that
a x 0 , x 1 , x2 , ? ? ? , x n21 , x n b
fx 0 , x 1 g, fx 1, x 2 g, fx 2 , x 3 g, . . . , fx n21, x n g
This subdivision is called the partition of fa, bg and we denote it by P. We use the nota-
tion Dx i for the length of the ith subinterval fx i21, x i g. Thus
Dx i x i 2 x i 21
This length of the longest subinterval is denoted by iPi and is called the norm of P. Thus

Each point x *i can be anywhere in its subinterval—at the right endpoint (as in Example 1)
or at the left endpoint or somewhere between the endpoints. The area of the ith rectangle
R i is

FIGURE 8 Notice that this approximation appears to become better and better as the strips become
thinner and thinner, that is, as iPi l 0 . Therefore we define the area A of the region S as
the limiting value (if it exists) of the areas of the approximating polygons, that is, the limit
of the sum (1) of the areas of the approximating rectangles. In symbols:

The preceding discussion and the diagrams in Figures 7 and 8 show that the definition
of area in (2) corresponds to our intuitive feeling of what area ought to be.
The limit in (2) may or may not exist. It can be shown that if f is continuous, then this
limit does exist; that is, the region has an area. [The precise meaning of the limit in
Definition 2 is that for every « . 0 there is a corresponding number d . 0 such that

In other words, the area can be approximated by a sum of areas of rectangles to within an
arbitrary degree of accuracy («) by taking the norm of the partition sufficiently small.

SOLUTION Since f sxd x 2 1 1 is continuous, the limit (2) that defines the area must exist
for all possible partitions P of the interval f0, 2g as long as iPi l 0 . To simplify things
let us take the partition P that divides f0, 2g into n subintervals of equal length. (This is
called a regular partition.) Then the partition points are

The sum in this calculation is represented by the areas of the shaded rectangles in

since f is increasing, f sx *i d is the maximum value of f on fx i21, x ig, so the sum Rn of the
areas of the approximating rectangles is always greater than the exact area A 143.
We could just as well have chosen x *i to be the left-hand endpoint, that is,
x *i xi21 2si 2 1dyn. Then f sx *i d is the minimum value of f on fxi21, xig , so the sum
L n of the areas of the approximating rectangles in Figure 12 is always less than A.

Notice that we have obtained the same answer with the different choice of x *i . In fact,
we would obtain the same answer if x *i was chosen to be the midpoint of fxi21, xig

arises when we compute an area. It turns out that this same type of limit occurs in a wide
variety of situations even when f is not necessarily a positive function. In Chapters 5 and
8 we will see that limits of the form (1) also arise in finding lengths of curves, volumes of
solids, areas of surfaces, centers of mass, fluid pressure, and work, as well as other quan-
tities. We therefore give this type of limit a special name and notation.

NOTE 1 The symbol x was introduced by Leibniz and is called an integral sign. It is

an elongated S and was chosen because an integral is a limit of sums. In the notation
xab f sxd dx, f sxd is called the integrand and a and b are called the limits of integration;
a is the lower limit and b is the upper limit. The symbol dx has no meaning
by itself; xab f sxd dx is all one symbol. The procedure of calculating an integral is called
integration.
NOTE 2 The definite integral xab f sxd dx is a number; it does not depend on x. In fact, we

y that occurs in Definition 2 is called a Riemann sum after the German mathematician
Bernhard Riemann (1826–1866). The definite integral is sometimes called the Riemann
integral. If f happens to be positive, then the Riemann sum can be interpreted as a sum of
0 a b x areas of approximating rectangles [Compare (3) with (2.1).] If f takes on both positive and
negative values, as in Figure 1, then the Riemann sum is the sum of the areas of the rec-
tangles that lie above the x-axis and the negatives of the areas of the rectangles that lie
FIGURE 1 below the x-axis (the areas of the gold rectangles minus the areas of the blue rectangles).
EXAMPLE 1 Let f sxd 1 1 5x and consider the partition P of the interval f22, 1g by
means of the set of partition points h22, 21.5, 21, 20.3, 0.2, 1j. In this example

Notice that, in this example, f is not a positive function and so the Riemann sum does
not represent a sum of areas of rectangles. But it does represent the sum of the areas of
the gold rectangles (above the x-axis) minus the sum of the areas of the blue rectangles
FIGURE 2 (below the axis) in Figure 2.

The integrals in Example 3 were simple to evaluate because we were able to express
them in terms of areas of simple regions, but not all integrals are that easy. In fact, the inte-
grals of some functions don’t even exist. So the question arises: Which functions are inte-
y grable? A partial answer is given by the following theorem, which is proved in courses on
advanced calculus.
0 a b x If f is discontinuous at some points in fa, bg, then xab f sxd dx might exist or it might not
exist (see Exercises 70 and 71). If f has only a finite number of discontinuities and these
FIGURE 6 are all jump discontinuities, then f is called piecewise continuous and it turns out that f
Discontinuous integrable function is integrable. (See Figure 6.)
It can be shown that if f is integrable on fa, bg, then f must be a bounded function
y
| |
on fa, bg; that is, there exists a number M such that f sxd ø M for all x in fa, bg. Geo-
metrically, this means that the graph of f lies between the horizontal lines y M and
y 2M. In particular, if f has an infinite discontinuity at some point in fa, bg, then f is not
bounded and is therefore not integrable. (See Exercise 70 and Figure 7.)
If f is integrable on fa, bg, then the Riemann sums (3) must approach xab f sxd dx
as iPi l 0 no matter how the partitions P are chosen and no matter how the points x *i
are chosen in fx i21, x ig. Therefore, if it is known beforehand that f is integrable on fa, bg
(for instance, if it is known that f is continuous or monotonic), then in calculating the value
of an integral we are free to choose partitions P and points x *i in any way we like as long
as iPi l 0 . For purposes of calculation, it is often convenient to take P to be a regular
0 x partition; that is, all the subintervals have the same length Dx. Then

At the moment we don’t know how accurate the approximation in Example 5 is, but in
Section 8.7 we will learn a method for estimating the error involved in using the Midpoint

If we apply the Midpoint Rule to the integral in Example 4, we get the picture in Fig-

only a constant) can be taken in front of an integral sign. Property 4 is proved by writing
f 2 t f 1 s2td and using Properties 2 and 3 with c 21.
Property 5 is somewhat more complicated and is proved at the end of this section, but
for the case where f sxd ù 0 and a , c , b, it can be seen from the geometric interpreta-
0 a c b x tion in Figure 13. For positive functions f , xab f sxd dx is the total area under y f sxd from

Proof of Property 5 We first assume that a , c , b. Since we are assuming that xab f sxd dx
exists, we can compute it as a limit of Riemann sums using only partitions P that include
c as one of the partition points. If P is such a partition, let P1 be the corresponding parti-
tion of fa, cg determined by those partition points of P that lie in fa, cg. Similarly, P2 will
denote the corresponding partition of fc, bg. Note that i P1 i ø i P i and i P2 i ø i P i. Thus,
if i P i l 0, it follows that i P1 i l 0 and i P2 i l 0. If hxi 1 ø i ø nj is the set of partition |
points for P and n k 1 m, where k is the number of subintervals in fa, cg and m is the
|
number of subintervals in fc, bg, then hxi 1 ø i ø kj is the set of partition points for P1. If
we write tj xk1j for the partition points to the right of c, then hti 1 ø j ø mj is the set of |
