In the following exercises, graph the function then use a calculator or a computer program to evaluate the following left and right endpoint sums. Is the area under the curve between the left and the right endpoint sums?

Use the calculator to
estimate the area under the curve by computing
the average of the left-and right-endpoint Riemann sums using N=10 rectangles.
Then, using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, part 2, determine the exact area.
In the following exercises, use a calculator at a computer program to evaluate the endpoints sums and for N = 1, 10, 100
53. explain why, if and f is increasing on [a,b], that the left endpoints estimate is a lower bound for the area below the graph of f on [a, b]
