We turn now to the problem of finding area under a curve. Suppose we want to find the area between the curve f(x) = x² and the x-axis on the interval [0, 1], as shown to the right. There is a process for finding this area exactly (we'll get to that next), but to understand that process we're first going to start by approximating this area with rectangles. We're going to approximate the area shown above with four rectangles, using a right endpoint approximation, also called a right Riemann sum. 0 (a) Start by dividing the interval [0, 1] into four equal-width subintervals, each of which has a length of 1/4. The first subinterval is [0, 1]. Write the other three subintervals. (e) Now calculate the area of each of the four rectangles, and add them up. This value is called R4 (the "R" is for "right Riemann sum"), and the 4 means we used four rectangles. (b) Next, give the right endpoint of each subinterval a name of the form xn. For example, *₁ = . Now, assign the correct values to #2, #3, and x4. (c) Now, calculate f(x₁), f(x2), f(x3), and f(x4). (d) Next, draw in the four rectangles. Each rectangle has a width of 1/4 and a height of f(x1), f(x2), f(x3), and f(x4), The rectangles look as shown to the right: (f) The actual area under f(r) 1 2 on the interval [0 11 is exactly 1/3 #1 #2 23 24 How close is R. to
