Based on the table, use a left Riemann sum and 4 sub-intervals to estimate the Area under the curve. (Choose the correct set-up.) 

• 5(3) + 1(4) + 2(5) + 1(7)
• 5(4) + 1(5) + 2(7) + 1(6)
• 5(3) + 6(4) + 8(5) + 9(7)
• 0(3) + 5(4) + 6(5) + 8(7)

Based on the table, use a Right Riemann sum and 4 sub-intervals to estimate the Area under the curve. (Choose the correct set-up.)
