Question
Evaluate the Riemann sum for $ f(x) = x - 1 $, $ -6 \le x \le 4 $, with five subintervals, taking the sample points to be right endpoints. Explain, with the aid of a diagram, what the Riemann sum represents.
Step 1
Step 1: Partition [-6,4] into 5 equal subintervals: width Δx = (4 - (-6))/5 = 10/5 = 2; intervals: [-6,-4],[-4,-2],[-2,0],[0,2],[2,4]. Show more…
