Question

(a) Estimate the volume of the solid that lies below the surface $ z = xy $ and above the rectangle $$ R = \{(x, y) \mid 0 \le x \le 6, 0 \le y \le 4 \} $$ Use a Riemann sum with $ m = 3 $, $ n = 2 $, and take the sample point to be the upper right corner of each square. (b) Use the Midpoint Rule to estimate the volume of the solid in part (a).

Step 1

We are given that $m=3$ and $n=2$, so we will divide the rectangle into $3\times 2=6$ smaller rectangles. The width of each small rectangle is $\Delta x = \frac{6}{3}=2$, and the height is $\Delta y = \frac{4}{2}=2$. We will take the upper right corner of each Show more…
