- We want ∫_0^8 (x^2 + 1) dx with n = 4 subintervals. - Δx = (8 − 0)/4 = 2. - The partition points are x0 = 0, x1 = 2, x2 = 4, x3 = 6, x4 = 8. Show more…

Approximating definite integrals Complete the following steps for the given integral and the given value of $n .$ a. Sketch the graph of the integrand on the interval of integration. b. Calculate $\Delta x$ and the grid points $x_{0}, x_{1}, \ldots, x_{n},$ assuming a regular partition. c. Calculate the left and right Riemann sums for the given value of $n .$ d. Determine which Riemann sum (left or right) underestimates the value of the definite integral and which overestimates the value of the definite integral. $$\int_{0}^{2}\left(x^{2}-2\right) d x ; n=4$$

On a sketch of y = ln(x), represent the left Riemann sum with n = 2 approximating ∫₁² ln(x) dx. Write out the terms of the sum, but do not evaluate it. That means that you enter the area of each rectangle in the following boxes. (Either exactly or to 8 decimal places.) Sum = [ ] + [ ] On another sketch, represent the right Riemann sum with n = 2 approximating ∫₁² ln(x) dx. Write out the terms of the sum, but do not evaluate it. That means that you enter the area of each rectangle in the following boxes. (Either exactly or to 8 decimal places.) Sum = [ ] + [ ] Which sum is an overestimate? A. the right Riemann sum B. the left Riemann sum C. neither sum Which sum is an underestimate? A. the left Riemann sum B. the right Riemann sum C. neither sum
