Draw a quick but accurate sketch of f(x) = √x2−4 over
the interval [−4,0]. This covers the interval of integration.
Partition the interval of integration into 10 intervals. Show
this on your graph with a right or left Riemann Sum
Create a table showing your interval index, i, the value
xi at which you evaluate f(x) in each interval, the
values of f(xi) and ∆x for each interval, and the
contribution each rectangle makes toward the Riemann Sum. Evaluate
