1. Use left and right endpoints and the given
number of rectangles to find two approximations of the area of
the region between the graph of the function and the x-axis over
the given interval.
f(x) = 2x + 5; [0, 2]; 4 rectangles
i = n(n+1)/2
i can find the upper/right endpoint but the left endpoint is difficult.n
Ʃ [2(2(i -1)/(n)) + 5](2/n)
i = 1
n
(2/n)Ʃ [2(2(i -1)/(n)) + 5]
i = 1
n
(2/n)Ʃ [(4(i -1)/(n)) + 5]
i = 1
n n
(2/n){(4/n)Ʃ (i -1) + Ʃ 5}
i = 1 i = 1
and then i sub the equation in for i and solve but i do not get the right answer.
btw the correct answer is 13.
