If f ( x ) = ex 6 , 0 x 2 , find the Riemann sum with n = 4 correct to six decimal

If
f(x)= ex 6,0 x 2,
find the Riemann sum with n =4 correct to six decimal places, taking the sample points to be midpoints.
Step 1
We must calculate
M4=
4f
xi
x =
f
x1
+ f
x2
+ f
x3
+ f
x4
xi=1
,
where
x1, x2, x3, and x4
represent the midpoints of four equal subintervals of
[0,2].
Since we wish to estimate the area over the interval
[0,2]
using 4 rectangles of equal widths, then each rectangle will have width
x =1/2
1/2
.
Step 2
We wish to find
M4=
12
f
x1
+ f
x2
+ f
x3
+ f
x4
.
Since
x1, x2, x3, and x4
represent the midpoints of the four sub-intervals of
[0,2],
then we must have the following.
x1=
x2=
x3=
x4=
