Riemann sums (left, right, and midpoint evaluation points) - AP Calculus AB

Question

Estimate the integral of from 0 to 3 using left-Riemann sum and 6 rectangles. Use $\Delta x=0.5$

Answer

Because our $\Delta x$ is constant, the left Riemann sum will be

$R_{L}=\Delta x(f(0)+f(0.5)+f(1)+f(1.5)+f(2)+f(2.5))$

$R_{L}=0.5\cdot (1+1.75+4+7.75+13+19.75)=23.625$
