Problem:
Using both right-hand and left-hand endpoints, find the Riemann sums for the function
with n subintervals and simplify.
Solution:
- We first define Dx.
- We now define ai, i = 0, 1, 2, ..., n, the endpoints of these subintervals.
- We evaluate f(ai)
- We form the Riemann sum using left-hand endpoints:
- Simplifying, we obtain
- We form the Riemann sum using right-hand endpoints:
- Simplifying, we obtain
