Answer:
Hello,
Step-by-step explanation:
We divide the interval [a b] in n equal parts.
[tex]\Delta x=\dfrac{b-a}{n} \\\\x_i=a+\Delta x *i \ for\ i=1\ to\ n\\\\y_i=x_i^2=(a+\Delta x *i)^2=a^2+(\Delta x *i)^2+2*a*\Delta x *i\\\\\\Area\ of\ i^{th} \ rectangle=R(x_i)=\Delta x * y_i\\[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n} R(x_i)=\dfrac{b-a}{n}*\sum_{i=1}^{n}\ (a^2 +(\dfrac{b-a}{n})^2*i^2+2*a*\dfrac{b-a}{n}*i)\\[/tex]
[tex]=(b-a)^2*a^2+(\dfrac{b-a}{n})^3*\dfrac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} +2*a*(\dfrac{b-a}{n})^2*\dfrac{n (n+1)} {2} \\\\\displaystyle \int\limits^a_b {x^2} \, dx = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} R(x_i)\\\\=(b-a)*a^2+\dfrac{(b-a)^3 }{3} +a(b-a)^2\\\\=a^2b-a^3+\dfrac{1}{3} (b^3-3ab^2+3a^2b-a^3)+a^3+ab^2-2a^2b\\\\=\dfrac{b^3}{3}-ab^2+ab^2+a^2b+a^2b-2a^2b-\dfrac{a^3}{3} \\\\\\\boxed{\int\limits^a_b {x^2} \, dx =\dfrac{b^3}{3} -\dfrac{a^3}{3}}\\[/tex]
