009B Sample Midterm 1, Problem 1

Let  $f(x)=1-x^{2}$.

(a) Compute the left-hand Riemann sum approximation of  $\int _{0}^{3}f(x)~dx$  with  $n=3$  boxes.

(b) Compute the right-hand Riemann sum approximation of  $\int _{0}^{3}f(x)~dx$  with  $n=3$  boxes.

(c) Express  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_0^3 f(x)~dx}   as a limit of right-hand Riemann sums (as in the definition of the definite integral). Do not evaluate the limit.
