The Riemann sum with n = 6, taking the sample points to be midpoints is - 12.0625
<h3>What is Riemann sum?</h3>
Formula for midpoints is given as;
M = ∑0^n-1f((xk + xk + 1)/2) × Δx;
From the information given, we have the following parameters
- x0 = 0
- n = 6
- xn = 3
Let' s find the parameters
Δx = (3 - 0)/6 = 0.5
xk = x0 + kΔx = 0.5k
xk+1 = x0 + (k +1)Δx
Substitute the values
= 0 + 0.5(k +1) = 0.5k - 0.5;(xk + xk+1)/2
We then have;
= (0.5k + 0.5k + 05.)/2
= 0.5k + 0.25.
Now f(x) = 2x^2 - 7
Let's find f((xk + xk+1)/2)
Substitute the value of (xk + xk+1)/2)
= f(0.5k+ 0.25)
= 2(0.5k + 0.25)2 - 7
Put values into formula for midpoint
M = ∑05[(0.5k + 0.25)2 - 7] × 0.5.
To evaluate this sum, use command SUM(SEQ) from List menu.
M = - 12.0625
A Riemann sum represents an approximation of a region's area from addition of the areas of multiple simplified slices of the region.
Thus, the Riemann sum with n = 6, taking the sample points to be midpoints is - 12.0625

To visualize better, look at it like this:
First, see if you can simplify 3/2. You can't, so leave it like that.
The rule for exponents is you subtract the exponent from the bottom (r) from the exponent on the top ()
Put that on the top, and you get
