Question: ( 3 points ) In this problem you will calculate the area between f ( x ) = x 2 and the x - axis

(3 points) In this problem you will calculate the area between f(x)=x2 and the x-axis over the interval [2,9] using a limit of right-endpoint Riemann sums:
Area=limn(k=1nf(xk)x).
Express the following quantities in terms ofn, the number of rectangles in the Riemann sum, andk, the index for the rectangles in the Riemann sum.
We start by subdividing [2,9] into n equal width subintervals [x0,x1],[x1,x2],...,[xn1,xn] each of width x. Express the width of each subinterval x in terms of the number of subintervals n.
x=
Find the right endpoints x1,x2,x3 of the first, second, and third subintervals [x0,x1],[x1,x2],[x2,x3] and express your answers in terms of n.
x1,x2,x3=(Enter a comma separated list.)
Find a general expression for the right endpoint xk of the kth subinterval [xk1,xk], where 1kn. Express your answer in terms of k and n.
