The function is increasing on the interval .
The interval is divided into subintervals.
(a)
Find the left end points.
The width .
Substitute and .
.
The left end point is .
Substitute and .
.
The left end point at the first subinterval.
Substitute in .
.
The left end point at the last subinterval.
Substitute in .
.
The left end points of the first and last subintervals are and .
(b)
Find the right end points.
The left end point is .
Substitute and .
.
The right end point at the first subinterval.
Substitute in .
.
The right end point at the second subinterval.
Substitute in .
.
The right end points of the first and last subintervals are and .
(c)
When using the right end points on an increasing function the rectangles will above the graph of the function .
The upper right corner of each rectangle lies on .While the upper left corner of is above .
Consider over the interval .
Graph the function:
.
Observe the graph:
In the right end points upper right corner of each rectangle lies on .While the upper left corner of is above .
(d)
Consider a constant function over interval .
Graph the function:
.
Observe the graph:
If a function is constant on the interval, then the height of rectangles are same.
(a) The left end points of the first and last subintervals are and .
