Step 1
The interval is given as [a, b]. However, the function F(x) = 0.5x^5 - 0.5x^5 simplifies to F(x) = 0 over the entire real number line. Therefore, the area under the graph over any interval will be 0. Show more…

Approximate the area under the graph of F(x) = 0.2x^3 + 2x^2 - 0.2x - 2 over the interval [ -6, -1] using 5 subintervals. Use the left endpoints to find the heights of the rectangles. The area is approximately square units. (Type an integer or decimal)
Approximate the area under the graph of the function f(x) = e^2x - 0.5 and above the x-axis between the interval [0, 2]. Use four rectangles whose height is the left upper corner. The approximate area is square units. (Do not round until the final answer. Then, round the nearest hundredth as needed.)
