Problem
The diagram shows the curve with equation y=2x−x2 for 0≤x≤1, together with a set of n rectangles of width n1.
(a) By considering the sum of the areas of these rectangles, show that
∫01(2x−x2)dx<Un,
where
Un=(1+n1)(32−6n1).

解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
曲线在 [0,1] 上严格递增,题图取右端点。将面积和拆成一次和二次两项,分别使用求和公式。
答题过程

Let f(x)=2x−x2. It is strictly increasing on [0,1], so the area sum of the right-endpoint rectangles is a strict upper bound. The areas are n1f(1/n), n1f(2/n), n1f(3/n), …, n1f((n−1)/n), n1f(1). Their sum is
Un=====n1r=1∑nf(r/n)n22r=1∑nr−n31r=1∑nr2n22⋅2n(n+1)−6n3n(n+1)(2n+1)nn+1−6n2(n+1)(2n+1)(1+n1)(32−6n1).
Hence ∫01f(x)dx<Un.
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
改用左端点。由于 f(0)=0,一次项和二次项都只需从 1 加到 n−1。
答题过程
展开
The left-endpoint rectangles give a lower bound because the curve is increasing. Their area sum is
Ln====n22r=1∑n−1r−n31r=1∑n−1r2n22⋅2(n−1)n−6n3(n−1)n(2n−1)nn−1−6n2(n−1)(2n−1)(1−n1)(32+6n1).
解法二
思路
展开
也可在右端点和中去掉 f(1)/n,再加上 f(0)/n。所有内部取样点都相同。
答题过程
展开
The left-endpoint sum differs from Un only in replacing the final height f(1)=1 with the first height f(0)=0. Thus
Ln=Un−n1=(1−n1)(32+6n1).
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
将上下界展开相减,常数项和二次小量抵消,只剩 n1。
答题过程
展开
Subtracting the two bounds gives
Un−Ln==(32+2n1−6n21)−(32−2n1−6n21)n1⟶0.
