384 Chapter 7 • The Riemann Integral
[ Xi-l, xi] created by Q are equal (to 1). Further, all trapezoidal^6 approxima-
tions and Simpson's rule^7 approximations (if n is even) using the partition
Q are also equal (to 1). But f is not integrable over [O, 1], as was shown in
Example 7.2.10. [See Exercise 21.]
EXERCISE SET 7.3
- Prove Inequality (2) in the proof of Theorem 7 .3.2. [Use Exercise 7.2.21.]
- Prove Lemma 7.3.4.
- Complete the proof of Part 2 of Theorem 7.3.5 by showing that f: f ::::: I
by the methods used there to prove that f: f :;::: I. - Use the methods of Example 7.3.7 to evaluate each of the following:
(a) fi(2x + 7)dx (b) f 0

(4 - 5x)dx - Use the methods of Example 7.3.7 to prove that when 0 <a< b,
(a) f: xdx = ~(b^2 - a^2 ) (b) f: x^2 dx = ~(b^3 - a^3 ) - Prove Theorem 7.3.6 (b).
- Apply the technique of Theorem 7.3.6 to the function f(x) =fa to find
