On reflection I think that the explanation for my question is as follows:

Since $$f(c) - \epsilon$$ is less than $$f(x)$$ for all $$x$$ in $$c \le x \lt c + h$$ ... ... ... we have that $$( f(c) - \epsilon ) \cdot h \le \int^{ c + h }_c f$$ ... ...Is that basically the correct explanation ... ... ?Peter
