A Riemann Sum uses rectangles to

• approximate the area under a curve. The more rectangles, the better the approximation.

• approximate the area under a curve. The less rectangles, the better the approximation.

• approximate the area under a curve. The more rectangles, the worse the approximation.

What does picture represent?

• Left Riemann Sum

• Right Riemann Sum

• Middle Riemann Sum

• Trapezoidal Sum

For a function that is strictly decreasing, a right hand Riemann Sum is which of the following:

• Overestimate
• Underestimate
• Exact Solution
• Unable to Determine

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)
