(a)
\Determine the area of the curve using four rectangles from
to
using right endpoint.
Number of intervals
.
Area is the sum of areas of the
rectangles.
Width of the each rectangle :
.
The rectangle repeat for
and
.
Right endpoints are
and
.
Area under the graph of the function using right endpoints :
\

Area of the graph of the function using right endpoints is
.
Graph:
\Graph the function
using right endpoints.

The graph of the function is decreasing function.
\From the graph of the function and rectangle, it is observed that the rectangular bars are below the graph of the curve.
\The estimation is an underestimate of the true area.

The graph of the function is decreasing function.
\From the graph of left end estimate
, it is observed that the bars are above the graph of the curve.
Therefore,
is an overestimate of the area.
