The width of each rectangle is found by taking the difference between the endpoints anddividing by n. Here, the width of each rectangle is = .We find the heights of the rectangles by evaluating y = 2x − x^2 at the appropriate endpoints.y(1) = 2(1) − (1)^2 = 1; = ; = and = .
Therefore, the area is = .2.
First, let’s draw a picture.
