Evaluate the following integrals as a limit of sums:


Formula used:



where,



Here, a = 1 and b = 4


Therefore,




Let,



Here, f(x) = x2 – x and a = 1



Now, by putting x = 1 in f(x) we get,


f(1) = 12 – 1 = 1 – 1 = 0


f(1 + h)


= (1 + h)2 – (1 + h)


= h2 + 12 + 2(h)(1) – 1 – h


= h2 + 2h – h


= h2 + h


Similarly, f(1 + 2h)


= (1 + 2h)2 – (1 + 2h)


= (2h)2 + 12 + 2(2h)(1) – 1 – 2h


= (2h)2 + 4h – 2h


= (2h)2 + 2h


{ (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy}




Now take h2 and h common in remaining series





Put,



Since,
