\
The function is and interval is
.
(a)
\Determine the area of the curve using four rectangles from to
using right endpoint.
Number of intervals .
Area is the sum of areas of the rectangles.
Width of the each rectangle :.
The rectangle repeat for and
.
Right endpoints are and
.
Area under the graph of the function using right endpoints :
\Area of the graph of the function using right endpoints is .
Graph:
\Graph the function using right endpoints.
The graph of the function is decreasing function.
\From the graph of the function and rectangle, it is observed that the rectangular bars are below the graph of the curve.
\The estimation is an underestimate of the true area.
\\
(b)
\Left endpoints are and
.
Area under the graph of the function using left endpoints :
\\
.
Area of the graph of the function using left endpoints is .
Graph:
\Graph the function using left endpoints.
The graph of the function is decreasing function.
\From the graph of left end estimate , it is observed that the bars are above the graph of the curve.
Therefore, is an overestimate of the area.
\
Area of the graph of the function using right endpoints is .
is an underestimate of the true area.
(b)
\Area of the graph of the function using left endpoints is .
\
is an overestimate of the area.
