Question

Hi i really need help with answering the 4th question in attached image, 

thank you so much, 

I. Estimating Area Under a Curve
Suppose we want to estimate the area under the curve f (x) = x² + 1 between x = 0 and
x = 4.

3. Suppose that the area under some curve is divided into n rectangles and we want the
area under the curve between a and b. If we divide up the area into n rectangles of equal
width, what is the formula for the width, Ax?
Ax =
=
3 using a right-hand sum.

To find the shaded area, we will use Riemann rectangles (named for Bernard Riemann).
Suppose we draw 4 rectangles to estimate the area under the curve using a left-hand
sum. We break up our horizontal distance into 4 equal lengths. We take the total width,
4 - 0 = 4, and divide it by the number of rectangles, 4, to get equal-width rectangles.
Thus, each rectangle is width = 1. For the height of each rectangle, we'll use the left-
4-0

hand endpoint (the height or y-value of the curve at the left side of the rectangle.)
4. Let's examine a new function. Estimate the area under the curve
|f(x) = −4x² +16x + 3 between x = 0 and x
a. If we use 6 rectangles, what is the width Ax?
b. The height of each rectangle is given by the right-hand endpoint because this is
a right-hand sum. Draw the 6 Riemann rectangles for the right-hand sum. SHADE
INSIDE EACH RECTANGLE.
