Use the definition of the definite integral (with right hand rule) to evaluate

[macilath]

Homework Statement

Use the definition of the definite integral (with right hand rule) to evaluate the following integral from -3 to 2
\int(4x^2-9x+2)dx

Homework Equations

\int from a to b of f(x)dx = limit as n\rightarrow\infty of \sum f(xi)\Deltax. i = 1

The Attempt at a Solution

I found delta x = (b-a)/n, so delta x = 5/n.
Then,
limit as n\rightarrow\infty of \sum (4(i/n)^2-9(i/n)+2)(5/n).
I distributed the (5/n) out, and a little algebra later, got that
limit as n\rightarrow\infty of \sum ((20i^2)/n^3)-(45i/n^2)+(10/n).
This is where I get stuck, I'm not sure how to simplify this to evaluate the limit.

Thanks for any help!

Edit: Sorry for sloppy forum code. LaTEX is new to me.

Assuming you've done all the math right up to this point, you just need some summation formulas to finish evaluating the integral.

∑ k = nk

∑ i = n(n+1)/2

∑ i² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6
