Use the function y=2x from x=0 to x=1 and n equal sub-intervals with the function evaluated at the left-hand endpoint of each sub-interval.
Obtain the step size as follows.
Δ x=1  0n=1n.
Then the left-hand endpoint of the sub-intervals will be 0, 1n, 2n, , n  1n.
The function values at these endpoints will be 0, 2n, 4n, , 2(n  1)n
a)What is the area of the first rectangle?
Area of the first rectangle=length × width
=0 × 1n
=0
b)What is the area of the second rectangle?
Area of the second rectangle=length × width
=2n× 1n
=2n2
c)What is the area of the i th rectangle?
Area of the ith rectangle=length × width
=2(i  1)n × 1n  [ i=1, 2, , n]
=2(i  1)n2  [ i=1, 2, , n]
Hence, the area of the i th rectangle is 2(i  1)n2
 i=1, 2, , n
