Give a geometric argument to prove Theorem 4.13(b): For any real numbers 0<a<b,

∫abxdx=12b2-a2

(Hint: Use a trapezoid.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The theorem 4.13(b) is proved.

∫abxdx=12b2-a2

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information 

We are given a theorem,

∫abxdx=12b2-a2

02

tep 2. Proving the theorem  

The proof is done by using a trapezoid.

The limit is the area covered by the trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid with heights a, b and width b-ais,

a+b2(b-a)=12ab+b2-ab-a2=12b2-a2

Hence Proved.

∫abxdx=12b2-a2
