Right Riemann sum for f(x) = e^x on [0,2] with n = 4
Consider the function on the interval .
Partition into equal subintervals and use the right endpoint of each subinterval to approximate the area under on .
What is the value of the right Riemann sum ?
Hint
First find and list the right endpoints . Then compute .
Step-by-step solution
Since , , and , the width of each subinterval is . The subintervals are , so the right endpoints are , , , and .
The right Riemann sum is . Evaluating, , , , and , so .
