Representative Rectangles You have seen that the definite integral can be viewed as the limit of Riemann sums: i chosen arbitrarily from [xi1, xi ], you can think of f (x i ) as a representative value of f for that interval. If f is positive, then the product gives the area of the representative rectangle shown in Figure 6.1.1. Formula (1) tells us that we can approximate the area under the curve as closely as we wish by adding up the areas of representative rectangles. (Figure 6.1.2)
y

Figure 6.1.3 shows a region _ bounded above by the graph of a function f and bounded below by the graph of a function g. As you know, we can obtain the area of _
