Graph each function $f(x)$ over the given interval. Partition the interval into four subintervals of equal length. Then add to your sketch the rectangles associated with the Riemann sum $\Sigma_{k=1}^{4} f\left(c_{k}\right) \Delta x_{k},$ given that $c_{k}$ is the (a) left-hand endpoint, (b) righthand endpoint, (c) midpoint of the $k$ th subinterval. (Make a separate sketch for each set of rectangles.) $$ f(x)=\sin x+1, \quad[-\pi, \pi] $$

Key Concepts

Graphing Functions

Graphing functions involves plotting the behavior of a function on a coordinate plane, which allows one to visually interpret the function's properties such as intersections, maxima, minima, and overall trends within a given interval.

Interval Partitioning

Interval partitioning is the process of dividing a continuous interval into smaller subintervals of equal length. This method is fundamental in numerical integration and approximation methods, as it establishes the base over which functions can be analyzed and approximated.

Riemann Sum Approximations

A Riemann sum is a technique used to approximate the area under a curve by summing the areas of multiple rectangles. It forms the basis for definite integration and uses the width of each subinterval along with function evaluations at specific sample points to calculate the approximate area.

Sampling Methods in Riemann Sums

Sampling methods in Riemann sums refer to the selection of points within each subinterval—such as the left-hand endpoint, right-hand endpoint, or the midpoint—for evaluating the function. Each method influences the height of the rectangles used in the approximation, thereby affecting the final computed area.
