Question

Let $ V $ be the volume of the solid that lies under the graph of $ f(x, y) = \sqrt{52 - x^2 - y^2} $ and above the rectangle given by $ 2 \le x \le 4, 2 \le y \le 6 $. Use the lines $ x = 3 $ and $ y = 4 $ to divide $ R $ into subrectangles. Let $ L $ and $ U $ be the Riemann sums computed using lower left corners and upper right corners, respectively. Without calculating the numbers $ V $, $ L $, and $ U $, arrange them in increasing order and explain your reasoning.
