1 6 C H A P T E R Numericl Methods o Approimting Deinite Integrls 6. APPROXIMATING SUMS: L n, R n, T n, AND M n Introduction Not only cn we dierentite ll the bsic unctions we ve encountered, polynomils, eponentil nd logrithmic unctions, trigonometric nd inverse trigonometric unctions, nd rtionl unctions, but rmed with the Product nd Chin Rules, we cn hppily dierentite ny new unction constructed by multipliction, division, ddition, subtrction, or composition o these unctions. This gives us sense o competence nd stisction. Although t this point we cn integrte mny unctions, there re bsic unctions such s ln nd sec ) tht we hve not yet tckled. From the Chin Rule or dierentition we get the technique o substitution or ntidierentition; rom the Product Rule or dierentition we get technique o ntidierentition known s Integrtion by Prts. The ltter is something to look orwrd to lerning in Chpter 9.) Lerning more sophisticted methods o substitution nd lgebric mnipultion will enlrge the collection o unctions we cn ntidierentite. Tbles o integrls nd high-powered computer pckges cn provide ssistnce i we re in dire strits. Nevertheless, there re some very innocent-looking unctions tht cnnot be delt with esily. For instnce, ll the technicl skill in the world won t help us ind n ntiderivtive or e, or sin ), or sin ). Knowing tht there is no gurntee tht we cn ntidierentite cn be unnerving. This chpter will restore our sense o hving things under control when we re ced with deinite integrl. Suppose we re interested in evluting deinite integrl nd we hve not ound n ntiderivtive or the integrnd. In ny prcticl sitution we ll need to evlute the deinite ln d = ln + C veriy this or yoursel). This cn be ound either by some serious guess-work, methods given in Section 7., or using the technique clled Integrtion by Prts. With some work we cn integrte sec. sec d = sec +tn sec sec +tn d = sec +sec tn sec +tn d = ln sec + tn +C. Tht is, i we wnt to obtin n ntiderivtive tht is inite sum, product, or composition o the elementry unctions. 805

2 806 CHAPTER 6 Numericl Methods o Approimting Deinite Integrls integrl with certin degree o ccurcy. Provided tht n pproimtion is stisctory, it is not necessry to be ble to ind n ntiderivtive o the integrnd. Insted, we return to the bsic ides tht led us to the limit deinition o the deinite integrl. The theoreticl underpinnings o clculus involve the method o successive pproimtions ollowed by limiting process. Dierentil Clculus Let be dierentible unction. We obtin numericl pproimtions o the slope o the tngent to the grph o t point P by looking t the slope o secnt lines through P nd Q, where Q is point on the grph o very close to P. By tking the limit s Q pproches P we determine the ect slope o the tngent line t P. y = ) Q P = = b Figure 6. Integrl Clculus Let be n integrble unction. We obtin numericl pproimtions o the signed re between the grph o nd the -is on [, b] by prtitioning the intervl [, b] into mny equl subintervls, treting s i it is constnt on ech tiny subintervl, nd pproimting the signed re with Riemnn sum. By tking the limit s the number o subintervls increses without bound we determine the deinite integrl. In this chpter we return to Riemnn sums to obtin pproimtions o deinite integrls. The numericl methods discussed here re oten used in prctice. Computers or progrmmble clcultors re idel or perorming the otherwise tedious clcultions. Approimting Sums: L n, R n, T n, nd M n In the contet o the ollowing emple we ll discuss let-hnd, right-hnd, midpoint, nd trpezoidl sums, sums tht cn be used to pproimte deinite integrl. In order to be ble to compre our pproimtions with the ctul vlue, we ll look t n integrl we cn evlute ectly. EXAMPLE 6. Approimte 5 d. Keep improving upon the pproimtion until you know the vlue to our deciml plces. SOLUTION i) To pproimte the integrl we chop up the intervl o integrtion into n equl subintervls, ii) pproimte the re under the curve on ech subintervl by the re o rectngle, nd iii) sum the res o these rectngles.

3 6. Approimting Sums: L n, R n, T n, nd M n 807 We ll construct three Riemnn sums: the let- hnd sum, denoted by L n ; the right-hnd sum, denoted by R n ; nd the midpoint sum, denoted by M n. We re lredy milir with the irst two.) We describe these sums s ollows. L n : The height o the rectngle on ech subintervl is given by the vlue o t the let-hnd endpoint o the subintervl. R n : The height o the rectngle on ech subintervl is given by the vlue o t the right-hnd endpoint o the subintervl. M n : The height o the rectngle on ech subintervl is given by the vlue o t the midpoint o the subintervl. On the i th intervl, [ i, i ], the height o the rectngle is c), where c is midwy between i nd i ; c = i + i. 4 Subdivisions Let n = 4; we chop [, 5] into 4 equl subintervls ech o length = 5 4 =. = 4 5 Below re the let- hnd sum, the right-hnd sum, nd the midpoint sum. 4 5 L 4 = = = R 4 = = = M 4 = = = Figure 6. By... we men there re more deciml plces but we hve stopped recording them.

4 808 CHAPTER 6 Numericl Methods o Approimting Deinite Integrls The unction ) = is decresing; thereore the let-hnd sums provide n upper bound nd the right-hnd sums lower bound or 5 d = R 4 < d < L 4 = Suppose we tke the verge o R 4 nd L 4, L 4+R 4. This is closer to the vlue o the integrl thn either the right- or let-hnd sums. Geometriclly this verge is equivlent to pproimting the re on ech intervl by trpezoid insted o rectngle, s shown below in Figure 6.. E B F C A i ) D i 4 5 b) Figure 6. Averging the re o rectngles o ABCD nd AEFD in Figure 6.) gives the re o the trpezoid AECD. We reer to the verge o the let- nd right- hnd sums, L n+r n, s the trpezoidl sum or the Trpezoidl rule) nd denote it by T n. T 4 = = Becuse is concve up 4 on [, 5] we know tht on ech subintervl the re under the trpezoid is lrger thn tht under the curve. Thus T 4 gives n upper bound or the integrl, better upper bound thn tht provided by L 4. 5 R 4 < d < T 4 <L < d <.68...< At this point the mind o the criticl reder should be buzzing with questions. Perhps they include the ollowing. Wht re the conditions under which T n will be lrger thn the vlue o the integrl? Smller? Where does the midpoint sum it into the picture? Let s investigte the irst question by looking t some grphs. 4 t) = t, so t) = t nd t) = t. The ltter is positive on [, 5], so is concve up on the intervl under discussion.

5 6. Approimting Sums: L n, R n, T n, nd M n 809 Figure 6.4 I is concve up on [, b], then every secnt line joining two points on the grph o on [, b] lies bove the grph. I is concve down on [, b], then every secnt line joining two points on the grph o on [, b] lies below the grph. We conclude tht b t) dt < T n i is concve up on [, b], nd b T n < t) dt i is concve down on [, b]. Where does the midpoint sum it into the picture? It turns out tht T n nd M n re complementry pir. We will show tht b i is concve up on [, b], then M n < t) dt < T n b i is concve down on [, b], then T n < t) dt < M n. while To do this we ll give n lterntive grphicl interprettion o the midpoint sum. Figure 6.5i) illustrtes the midpoint pproimtion, pproimting the re under the grph o on [ i, i+ ] by the re o rectngle whose height is the vlue o t the midpoint o the intervl. In Figure 6.5ii) we pproimte the re under by the re o the trpezoid ormed by the tngent line to the grph o t the midpoint o the intervl. We clim tht these res re identicl; pivoting the line through A, B, nd C bout the midpoint C does not chnge the re bounded below. Look t Figure 6.5iii). The tringles ACD nd BCE re congruent. We rgue this s ollows. Angles CAD nd CBE re right ngles. Angles ACD nd BCE re equl. Thereore the two tringles in question re similr. But AC = CB becuse C is the midpoint o the intervl [ i, i+ ]. We conclude tht tringles ACD nd BCE re congruent nd hence hve the sme re. Thereore, rectngle i AB i+ nd trpezoid i DE i+ Figures 6.5i) nd ii), respectively) hve the sme re; we cn interpret the midpoint sum s the midpoint tngent sum.

Figure 6.5 Below is picture o M 4 using the midpoint tngent line interprettion. is concve up, so the tngent lines lie below the curve. We know tht on ech subintervl the re under the midpoint tngent line is less thn the re under the curve; thereore, M 4 gives lower bound or the integrl Figure 6.6 Where unction is concve up its tngent line lies below the curve; where unction is concve down its tngent line lies bove the curve. It ollows tht i is concve up on [, b], then M n < b t) dt; i is concve down on [, b], then b t) dt < M n. Figure 6.7 How do L n, R n, T n, nd M n improve s we increse n? 8 Subdivisions Let n = 8; we chop [, 5] into 8 equl pieces ech o length = 5 8 =.

Approimting Sums: L n, R n, T n, nd M n L 8 = = R 8 = = T 8 = L 8 + R 8 = midpoint rectngles OR midpoint tngent trpezoids M 8 = = We know tht.48...= R 8 <M 8 = < 5 d < T 8 =.68...<L 8 = ) = is decresing nd concve up on [, 5]. Thereore, we know tht or ny n 5 5 R n < d < L n nd M n < d < T n. I we re interested in more deciml plces, we cn simply choose lrger vlues o n. 50 Subdivisions Suppose n = 50; we chop [, 5] into 50 equl pieces ech o length = 5 50 = We don t ctully wnt to sum up 50 terms by hnd. Work like this is pinul to do by hnd but it s child s ply or progrmmble clcultor or computer. Get out your progrmmed clcultor or computer nd check the igures given below. 5 R 50 = M 50 = T 50 = L 50 = Subdivisions Suppose n = 400; we chop [, 5] into 400 equl pieces ech o length = = 0.0. We obtin R 400 = M 400 = T 400 = L 400 = Using T 400 s n upper bound nd M 400 s lower bound, we ve niled down the vlue o this integrl to 4 deciml plces. 5 You ll hve to enter the ollowing inormtion: the unction oten s Y ), the endpoints o integrtion, nd the number o pieces into which you d like to prtition the intervl. And, i you re using clcultor without L n, R n, T n, nd M n progrmmed, you ll hve to enter the progrm.)

8 8 CHAPTER 6 Numericl Methods o Approimting Deinite Integrls REMARK M 50 nd T 50 give better pproimtions o 5 d thn do R 400 nd L 400. Summry o the Underlying Principles I is incresing on [, b], then L n < b t) dt < R n. L n R n I is decresing on [, b], then R n < b t) dt < L n. L n R n I is concve up on [, b], then M n < b t) dt < T n. T n M n I is concve down on [, b], then T n < b t) dt < M n. T n M n For ny given n, generlly the trpezoidl nd midpoint sums re much closer to the ctul vlue o the deinite integrl thn re the let- nd right-hnd sums. EXAMPLE 6. Approimte 0 e d by inding upper nd lower bounds diering by no more thn SOLUTION This is gret problem on which to prctice, becuse it is impossible to ind n ntiderivtive or ) = e unless we resort to n ininite sum o terms. Look t the grph o ). It is decresing on the intervl [0, ] nd ppers to hve point o inlection somewhere on this intervl. 7 ) = e Figure 6.8 Suppose we were plnning to use let- nd right-hnd sums only. As shown in Section., the dierence between the let- nd right-hnd sums is given by 6 The unction e k is o prcticl importnce becuse, or the pproprite k, its grph gives the bell-shped norml distribution curve. The re under the norml distribution curve over some given intervl is o vitl importnce to probbilists nd sttisticins. 7 How cn we be sure is decresing? ) =. As increses rom 0 to, increses, so e is positive nd incresing. e d Thereore, its reciprocl is decresing. Alterntively, d e = e 4) = 4 0 or 0. e

Thereore, in this emple R n L n = e 8 e 0 0 n = e 8 n < n I we wnt R n L n < 0.00, then we cn solve.9994 n = 0.00 or n nd choose ny integer lrger thn this. n = = 999.4, so we cn choose n = 000. I your clcultor will ccept number this lrge, you re in good shpe; the let-hnd sum will be n upper bound nd the right-hnd sum will be lower bound, becuse is decresing on [0, ]. The computtion my tke some time or the mchine to perorm, depending upon its power. You should get L 000 = nd R 000 = REMARK Suppose is monotonic 8 over the intervl [, b], so the ctul vlue o b ) d is between L n nd R n. Although it is possible simply to try lrger nd lrger vlues o n until L n nd R n re within the desired distnce rom one nother, it is more eicient, i high degree o ccurcy is demnded, to use to ind n pproprite vlue o n. R n L n = b) ) Generlly, the midpoint nd trpezoidl sums give us much better bounds or prticulr n. I we ind the point o inlection, we cn use these sums to orm sndwich round the vlue o the integrl. ) = e ) = 4e ) = 4[e + 4e )] = 4e + 4 ) ) = 0, where + 4 = 0, tht is, where = 4. On [0, ] ) = 0 t =. Looking bck t ) = 4e + 4 ), we cn see tht chnges sign rom negtive to positive) t =, so = 0.5 is point o inlection. is concve down on [0, ] nd concve up on [, ]. Thereore, 8 is monotonic on [, b] i it is either lwys incresing on [, b] or is lwys decresing on [, b].

We cn ply round with the clcultor or computer until the sum o T n M n on [0, ] nd T m M m on [, ] is less thn Here is the result o some plying round. I we try n = 50 on both intervls, we obtin the ollowing. On [0, ] T 50 = M 50 = On [, ] T 50 = M 50 = On ech intervl the dierence between T 50 nd M 50 is substntilly less thn To get the inl nswer we need to dd the lower bounds T 50 on [0, ] nd M 50 on [, ]) to obtin lower bound or the integrl, nd dd the upper bounds to obtin n upper bound. 0 e d =.5 0 e d + lower bound: = upper bound: = e d In the net section we will show n lterntive nd more eicient method o using the trpezoidl nd midpoint sums to pproimte this integrl.

SIMPSON S RULE AND ERROR ESTIMATES Simpson s Rule We begn our discussion with let- nd right-hnd sums, sums tht provide bounds or b ) d i is monotonic on [, b]. Then we cme up with the clever ide o using the verge o L n nd R n to pproimte deinite integrl. This led us to the trpezoidl sum, which generlly gives much better pproimtion to deinite integrl thn either the let or right sums or the sme number o subdivisions. Encourged by our success, we might strt thinking bout verging the midpoint nd trpezoidl sums. An even better ide would be to tke weighted verge o these two sums. This is becuse the midpoint rule generlly gives us better it thn does the trpezoidl rule. In ct, nlysis o numericl dt indictes tht the error in using the trpezoidl rule is bout two times the size s tht rom using the midpoint rule. From the picture below this seems plusible. The weighting M n+m n +T n = M n+t n gives us method o pproimting deinite integrls known s Simpson s rule. i midpoint i+ = Error using trpezoid = Error using midpoint tngent trpezoid The shded re is bout double the blckened re.

Simpson s rule generlly gives substntilly better numericl estimte thn either the midpoint or the trpezoidl sums. To get some pprecition or this, try it out on some integrls tht you cn compute ectly. Below we do this or the integrl 5 / d. EXAMPLE 6. Compre M n, T n, nd Simpson s rule the weighted verge) or 5 d, where n = 4, 8, 50, nd 00. Note tht 5 d = ln 5 = ln 5 ln = ln 5 = SOLUTION ) n = 4: M 4 = T 4 = Simpson s rule = M 4+T 4 = b) n = 8: M 8 = T 8 = Simpson s rule = M 8+T 8 = c) n = 50: M 50 = T 50 = Simpson s rule = M 50+T 50 = d) n = 00: M 00 = T 00 = Simpson s rule = M 00+T 00 = Like the trpezoidl sum, Simpson s rule is convenient tool or pproimting b ) d even when ormul or is not vilble. For instnce, the vlues o ) reerred to in the discussion below could be mesurements tken by surveyor estimting the re o plot o lnd or body o wter. Suppose our im is to pproimte b ) d. We cn collect vlues o ) t eqully spced intervls nd use Simpson s rule to pproimte the deinite integrl. Prtition the intervl [, b] into n equl subintervls, ech o length = b n. We need to use weighted verge o the midpoint nd trpezoidl sums; thereore, on ech subintervl we need not only the vlue o t ech endpoint or T n ) but lso the vlue o in the middle or M n ). Although we re chopping [, b] into n equl subintervls, we will use n + vlues o n + vlues or T n nd n vlues or M n ). Let y k = k ) or k = 0,...,n, where 0,,,..., n re s indicted below. ) k = + k or k = 0.,...,n 0 = 4... n n n or M n or M n or M n = b Figure 6. In the ollowing eercise you will show tht using this lbeling convention, Simpson s rule cn be used to pproimte the deinite integrl using the ollowing ormul.

In this eercise use the lbeling system described bove: Prtition [, b] into n equl pieces o length = b n. k = + k ) or k = 0,,...,n, where = b n Let y k = k ) or k = 0,...,n, where 0,,,..., n. ) Show tht using this lbeling convention T n = b) Show tht using this lbeling convention ) y 0 + y + y 4 + y 6 + +y n + y n ). M n = y + y + y 5 + y 7 + +y n ). c) Show tht using this lbeling convention Simpson s rule is given by 6) y 0 + 4y + y + 4y + y 4 + +y n + 4y n + y n ). The nswer to prt c) is given t the end o the section. Notice tht becuse Simpson s rule requires both the midpoint nd trpezoidl rules nd the relevnt dt points or ech o these two rules re dierent, Simpson s rule requires pproimtely double the number o dt points necessry or computing either M n or T n individully. REMARKS Simpson s rule cn be presented without reerence to the trpezoidl nd the midpoint sums. Insted, it cn be viewed s ollows. On ech subintervl [ i, i ] pproimte the re under by the re under the prbol pssing through the three points on the grph o corresponding to the endpoints o the intervl nd the midpoint, or i, i )), i, i )), nd i + i, i + i )).

Sum the res under the prbols to pproimte the re under the curve. i i i+ Figure 6. When Simpson s rule is pplied to cubics, it will lwys give n ect nswer, even when using M +T. Error Bounds In Section 6. we used pproimting sums to provide upper nd lower bounds or the vlue o n integrl. When we use Simpson s rule we hve good estimte, but without getting bound on the error involved we cnnot be sure how good the estimte is. While we cnnot epect to know the ect error in using pproimting sums, it would be quite useul to get bound on the error. Consider, or instnce, Emple 6.. It would be useul to be ble to pproimte 0 e d using the trpezoidl rule or Simpson s rule, hving bound or the error but not worrying bout the point o inlection. Let s begin by thinking bout the error involved in using let- nd right-hnd sums. y y y The steeper the slope o the lrger the error in pproimting by rectngles. Figure 6.4 As illustrted in Figure 6.4, the lrger is, the lrger the mgnitude o the error involved in pproimting the re under the curve by the re o rectngle. When pproimting the re using the trpezoidl rule or the midpoint tngent trpezoid, the mgnitude o is not n issue; the rte tht is chnging, mesured by ), is ctor controlling the error. For L n, R n, T n, nd M n, the lrger n is, the smller the epected error. Put nother wy, the smller is, the smller the epected error. Using the Men Vlue Theorem, the ollowing error bounds cn be proven.

20 84 CHAPTER 6 Numericl Methods o Approimting Deinite Integrls Let I = b ) d. Let L n, R n, T n, nd M n be let, right, trpezoidl, nd midpoint pproimtions o I, respectively. Then L n I M b ) n R n I M b ) n T n I M b ) n M n I M b ) 4n where M is the mimum vlue o on [, b]. where M is the mimum vlue o on [, b]. You might guess tht the error bound or Simpson s rule involves n n nd the third derivtive o. In ct, Simpson s rule is much more ccurte thn you might epect. It cn be shown tht S n I M 4b ) 5 80n) 4 I p is n even number, then where M 4 is the mimum vlue o 4) on [, b]. S p I M 4b ) 5 80p 4. EXAMPLE 6.4 Find upper bounds or the error involved in using T 0 nd M 0 to pproimte 0 e d. SOLUTION In order to use the error estimtes or T 0 nd M 0 we need to ind n upper bound or on [0, ]. In Emple 6. we computed ). I ) = e, then ) = 4e + 4 ) = ) e. We cn get crude upper bound or on [0, ] by noting tht the numertor is no more thn ) = 4 + 6) = 5 4 = 60. ) 60 = 60e e e on [ 0, ] so ) < 60. NOTE We hven t ound M, but we ound bound or M.
