(Maple Question). In this question we will explore the definition of a definite integral. Consider the function
f(x)=122e-x22,on the interval [-5;5].
The area under the graph is defined as abf(x)dx=limn(f(x1)+f(x2)+dots+f(xn))x
a) Open a new Maple worksheet and on the first line type: > restart:with(plots);
b) Use Maple to plot f(x) on the interval -5,5 :
)=(-5..5
c) Compute the exact area: )=(-5..5;
d) Now we will approximate the area with rectangles. Plot the boxes and compute the area under the graph using n=10 rectangles with
)=(-5..5,10))=((-5..5,10
e) Repeat the same procedure as d) with n=50,n=100 and n=250 boxes and fill out the following table:
\table[[n,10,50,100,250],[Area:,,,,]]
f) Compare the calculated area S with your approximations and explain the results. Submit your printout for b), c), and write your answer for e) and f) by hand on the printout.
