Question
Evaluate the following integrals as limit of sum:
$\int\limits^4_{1}\big(\text{x}^2-\text{x}\big)\text{dx}$

Answer

$\int\limits^{\text{b}}_\text{a}\text{f(x)}\text{dx}=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{h}\Big[\text{f}(\text{a})+\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{h})+\text{f}(\text{a}+2\text{h})\ +\\ ....\ +\text{f}(\text{a}+(\text{n}-1)\text{h})\Big]$
Where, $\text{h}=\frac{\text{b}-\text{a}}{\text{n}}$
Here, $\text{a}=1,\text{ b}=4,\text{ f(x)}=\text{x}^2-\text{x},\text{ h}=\frac{4-1}{\text{n}}=\frac{3}{\text{n}}$
Therefore, $\text{I}=\int\limits^4_{1}\big(\text{x}^2-\text{x}\big)\text{dx}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{h}\big[\text{f}(1)+\text{f}(1+\text{h})+\ ....\ +\text{f}\big\{1+(\text{n}-1)\text{h}\big\}\big]$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{h}\big[(1-1)+\big\{(1+\text{h}^2)-(1+\text{h})\big\}+\\\ ....\ +\big\{(1+(\text{n}-1)\text{h})^2-(1+(\text{n}-1)\text{h})\big\}\big]$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{h}\big[\text{h}^2\big\{1^2+2^2+3^2\ ....\ +\$\text{n}-1)^2\big\}+1+2\text{h}\big\{1+2+\ ....+\$\text{n}-1)\big\}-\text{n}-\text{h}\big\{1+2+\ .....\ +(\text{n}-1)\big\}\big]$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{h}\bigg[\text{h}^2\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}-1)(2\text{n}-1)}{6}+\text{h}\frac{(\text{n}-1)}{2}\bigg]$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{n}\rightarrow\infty}\frac{3}{\text{n}}\bigg[\frac{9(\text{n}-1)(2\text{n}-1)}{6\text{n}}+\frac{3(\text{n}-1)}{2}\bigg]$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{n}\rightarrow\infty}3\bigg[\frac{3}{2}\Big(1-\frac{1}{\text{n}}\Big)\Big(2-\frac{1}{\text{n}}\Big)+\frac{3}{2}\Big(1-\frac{1}{\text{n}}\Big)\bigg]$
$=9+\frac{9}{2}$
$=\frac{27}{3}$

A cottage industry manufactures pedestal lamps and wooden shades, each requiring the use of grinding/cutting machine and sprayer. It takes 2 hours on the grinding/cutting machine and 3 hours on the sprayer to manufacture a pedestal lamp while it takes 1 hour on the grinding/cutting machine and 2 hours on the sprayer to manufacture a shade. On any day, the sprayer is available for at most 20 hours and the grinding/cutting machine for at most 12 hours. The profit from the sale of a lamp is Rs. 5.00 and a shade is Rs. 3.00. Assuming that the manufacturer can sell all the lamps and shades that he produces, how should he schedule his daily production in order to maximise his profit?
