Find the Riemann sum for this integral using the right-hand sums for n=4

Find the Riemann sum for this same integral, using the left-hand sums for n=4

Sorry the integral is attatched. I don't know how to get it onto here.

What is the question? Why did you find those Riemann sums? Do you see that the actual integral must be between those two Riemann sums?
