Looking at the top integral:
A 1 = ∫ 0 n x ⌊ x ⌋ d x = i = 1 ∑ n − 1 i 2 + 2 i , by looking at the graph. For n = 1 2 , A 1 = 5 3 9 .
Looking at the bottom integral and using { x } = x − ⌊ x ⌋ :
∫ 0 n x 2 ⌊ x ⌋ − x ⌊ x ⌋ 2 d x
A 2 = ∫ 0 n x 2 ⌊ x ⌋ d x = i = 1 ∑ n − 1 ∫ i i + 1 i x 2 d x = , by looking at the graph.
3 1 i = 1 ∑ n − 1 i ( i + 1 ) 3 − i 4 For n = 1 2 , A 2 = 4 8 8 4 .
A 3 = ∫ 0 n x ⌊ x ⌋ 2 d x = i = 1 ∑ n − 1 i 3 + 2 i 2 , by looking at the graph. For n = 1 2 , A 3 = 4 6 0 9
Finally, A 2 − A 3 A 1 = 2 5 4 9
