1. For each of the following integrals, write the definition using the Riemann sum (and
right endpoints), but do not evaluate them:
(a)
Z 5
sin(3x) dx
2
(b)
Z 3√
1 + x dx
1
(c)
Z 2
ex dx
0
2. For each of the following integrals, write the definition using the Riemann sum, and then
evaluate them (MUST use the limit of the Riemann sum for credit, and do not re-write
them using the properties of the integral):
(a)
Z 5
x2 dx
2
(b)
Z 3
1 − 3x dx
1
(c)
Z 5
1 + 2x3 dx
0
3. For each of the following Riemann sums, evaluate the limit by first recognizing it as an
appropriate integral:
(a) lim
n→∞
(b) n→∞
