Set up the area under y = h(x) from x = -2 to x = 4 using a Left Riemann Sum and three equal sub-intervals.

• -2(0) + 0(4) + 2(6)

• 2(4) + 2(6) + 2(4)

• 2(0) + 2(4) + 2(6)

• 2(1) + 2(5.5) + 2(5.75)

Use a Right Riemann Sum with 3 equal sub-intervals to approximate the area of the shaded area.

Use a Left Riemann Sum with 3 equal sub-intervals to approximate the area of the shaded area.

What kind of Riemann sum is described by the diagram?

• Left-hand

• Right-hand

• Midpoint

We're interested in calculating the area under the curve for x between -6 and 6. Order the areas from LEAST to GREATEST.

• left-hand, right-hand, midpoint

• right-hand, left-hand, midpoint

• right-hand, midpoint, left-hand

• left-hand, midpoint, right-hand
