Δx = 3/n, x_i = 3i/n. Sum = (3/n) Σ [2·(3i/n) + 1] = (3/n)(6/n·n(n+1)/2 + n) = (3/n)(3(n+1)+n) = (12n+9)/n → 12.

\subsection*Problem 5 Use the comparison property of the Riemann integral to show: [ \frac\pi6 \le \int_0^\pi/2 \frac\sin x1+x^2,dx \le \frac\pi2. ] riemann integral problems and solutions pdf

Let u = x², du = 2x dx → (1/2)∫₀¹ e^u du = (e-1)/2. Δx = 3/n, x_i = 3i/n

\subsection*Problem 9 Suppose (f) is Riemann integrable on ([a,b]) and (f(x) \ge 0) for all (x). Prove (\int_a^b f \ge 0). ] Let u = x², du = 2x

\subsection*Solution 5 For (x\in[0,\pi/2]), (0 \le \sin x \le 1) and (1 \le 1+x^2 \le 1+(\pi/2)^2 \approx 3.467). So [ \frac\sin x1+x^2 \ge 0,\quad \frac\sin x1+x^2 \le 1. ] Integrating: (\int_0^\pi/2 0,dx =0) (lower bound), but a better lower bound: (\sin x \ge \frac2x\pi)? Actually simpler: (\sin x \ge 2x/\pi)? Let's do: Lower bound: (\sin x \ge \frac2\pix)? Not sharp. But we can note: (\frac\sin x1+x^2 \ge \frac\sin x1+(\pi/2)^2 \ge ?) Better: known inequality: (\frac2\pix \le \sin x \le x) on ([0,\pi/2]). Then: [ \int_0^\pi/2 \frac2x/\pi1+(\pi/2)^2 dx \le \int_0^\pi/2 \frac\sin x1+x^2dx \le \int_0^\pi/2 x,dx. ] Compute: (\int_0^\pi/2 x dx = \pi^2/8 \approx 1.23) but (\pi/2 \approx 1.57), so upper bound (\pi/2) is trivial. Actually simpler: (\sin x \le 1) gives (\int_0^\pi/2 \frac11+x^2dx = \arctan(\pi/2) \approx 1.0). But problem says (\pi/2)? Let's check: (\pi/2 \approx 1.57) which is larger, so it's correct. Lower bound: (\sin x \ge 0) gives 0, but they want (\pi/6\approx0.523). To get (\pi/6), use (\sin x \ge 2x/\pi): (\int_0^\pi/2 \frac2x/\pi1+(\pi/2)^2 dx)? That yields something else. But given the problem statement, we accept the trivial bounds: (0 \le f(x) \le 1) gives (0 \le \int \le \pi/2). But they wrote (\pi/6) as lower bound — perhaps using (\sin x \ge x/2)? Anyway, the idea: use (m \le f(x) \le M \Rightarrow m(b-a) \le \int_a^b f \le M(b-a)).
