Question: In this problem you will calculate the area between f ( x ) = 2 x + 9 and the x - axis over the

In this problem you will calculate the area between f(x)=2x+9 and the x-axis over the interval 0,7 using a limit of right-endpoint Riemann sums:
Area =limn(k=1nf(xk)x).
Express the following quantities in terms of n, the number of rectangles in the Riemann sum, and k, the index for the rectangles in the Riemann sum.
a. We start by subdividing 0,7 into n equal width subintervals [x0,x1],[x1,x2],dots,[xn-1,xn] each of width x. Express the width of each subinterval x in terms of the number of subintervals n.
x=
b. 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.)
c. Find a general expression for the right endpoint xk of the kth subinterval xk-1,xk, where 1kn. Express your answer in terms of k and n.
xk=
d. Find f(xk) in terms of k and n.
f(xk)=
e. Find f(xk)x in terms of k and n.
f(xk)x=
f. Find the value of the right-endpoint Riemann sum in terms of n.
k=1nf(xk)x=
g. Find the limit of the right-endpoint Riemann sum.
limn(k=1nf(xk)x)=
