Lower Sum and Upper sum
Lower sum and Upper sum
Let f be a function defined on [a, b]. We divide the interval [a, b] into
sub-intervals as
a = x0 < x1 < x2 < . . . < xn−1 < xn = b
and ∆xi = xi − xi−1 , i = 1, 2, . . . , n.

Without lose of generality, we divide the interval [a, b] into sub-intervals of
b−a
equal size by setting ∆xi = ∆x = and
n
a = x0 , b = xn , xi = xi−1 + ∆x, i = 1, 2, . . . , n
or xi = x0 + i∆x, i = 1, 2, . . . , n
Because f is continuous, the Extreme Value Theorem guarantees the

existence of a minimum and a maximum value of f in each subinterval.
f (mi ) = the minimum value of f (x) in the i-th subinterval
f (Mi ) = the maximum value of f (x) in the i-th subinterval
We have
f (mi )∆x ≤ f (Mi )∆x, ∀i = 1, 2, . . . , n
The lower sum and the upper sum are defined respectively by

We have
L(n) ≤ Area of the region ≤ U(n).
Theorem 1
Let f be a continuous and nonnegative on [a, b]. The the limit n → +∞
of the lower sum and upper sum exist and they are equal. That is,
lim L(n) = lim U(n) < ∞

n→+∞ n→+∞
By applying Squeeze Theorem, we have the area of the region is equal the
limit of the lower sum or the limit of the upper sum.

Theorem 2
Let f be a continuous function on [a, b] and F be a primitive of f . Then
Z b

that
