Your Input

Approximate the integral $$$\int\limits_{1}^{7} f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with the left Riemann sum using the table below:

$$$x$$$$$$1$$$$$$2$$$$$$3$$$$$$4$$$$$$5$$$$$$6$$$$$$7$$$
$$$f{\left(x \right)}$$$$$$4$$$$$$-2$$$$$$3$$$$$$1$$$$$$0$$$$$$5$$$$$$9$$$

Solution

The left Riemann sum approximates the integral using left endpoints: $$$\int\limits_{a}^{b} f{\left(x \right)}\, dx\approx \sum_{i=1}^{n - 1} \left(x_{i+1} - x_{i}\right) f{\left(x_{i} \right)}$$$, where $$$n$$$ is the number of points.

Therefore, $$$\int\limits_{1}^{7} f{\left(x \right)}\, dx\approx \left(2 - 1\right) 4 + \left(3 - 2\right) \left(-2\right) + \left(4 - 3\right) 3 + \left(5 - 4\right) 1 + \left(6 - 5\right) 0 + \left(7 - 6\right) 5 = 11.$$$

Answer

$$$\int\limits_{1}^{7} f{\left(x \right)}\, dx\approx 11$$$A
