Thread: Estimating ln(2) using integration

Problem:
Estimate ln(2) using the Definition 6.9.1 (i'll show it later) and
a) left endpoint approximation with n=2
b) right endpoint approximation with n=2

Defintion 6.9.1:


edit: I'm still new to the latex system.
Integration from 1 to e^n (1/t)dt = n
Integration from 1 to e^n (1/t)dt = e^n
Integration from 1 to x (1/t)dt = ln(x)

left sum ...



right sum ...
