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 = ; = ; =
; and y(2) = 2(2) − (2)^2 = 0.Therefore, the area is = .3.
First, let’s draw a picture.
