The Definite Integral How to compute the area of the curve trapezoid? Idea: f (x)  h, rectangular area formula: A  (b a)h (base height) An: Rectangle area is approximate to replace the curve trapezoid area. y y O x O x （Five small rectangles ) （Ten small rectangles ） The Definition of Definite Integral If we divide the curve trapezoid into a number of small rectangles, when rectangles width gradually reduces, then how to find
