You won't get much help if you don't at least give it a try.

For starters, how is "finite integral with right endpoints" defined?
 
  • #3
So are they just asking you to use a sum?
 
  • #4
I don't know, that is the problem. We learned it first semester, but I don't remember
 
  • #5
Then you need to do a little research and find out, go find the book you used or the notes you diligently took.
