Step 1
Therefore, it's impossible to provide an exact answer. However, I can explain the general process of how to solve such a problem. (a) To find the exact area using geometry, you would need to know the shape of the region R and the dimensions. For example, if R is Show more…

Let f(x)=10-2x a.) Sketch the region R under the graph of f on the interval [0,5], and find its exact area using geometry. b.) Use a Riemann sum with five subintervals of equal length (n=5) to approximate the area of R. Choose the representative points to be the left endpoints of the subintervals. c.) Repeat part (b) with ten subintervals of equal length (n=10). d.) Compare the approximations obtained in parts (b) and (c) with the exact area found in part (a). Do the approximations improve with larger n?

Find the approximate area under the curves of the given equations by drviding the indicated intervals into $n$ subintervals and then add up the areas of the inscribed rectangles. There are two values of $n$ for each exercise and therefore two approximations for each area. The height of each rectangle may be found by evaluating the function for the proper walue of $x$. See Example $I$. $y=\sqrt{x},$ between $x=1$ and $x=4,$ for $(a) n=3,$ (b) $n=12$
