19. Note: For problems 3, 4, 5, you will need to compute
Riemann sums with large n. For this, you can use your calculator
(if you know how), or use Maple. For example, the following Maple command
could be used to compute the left and right hand sums for f(x) = x^7
on [a,b] = [3,6], with n = 50 (so Delta x = (6-3)/50 = 3/50:
First define the function with f := x -> x^7;. Then the left-hand Riemann
sum (evaluated as a decimal) is the output from
add(evalf(f(3+(i-1)*3/50)*3/50),i=1..50);. The right-hand Riemann sum
is similar: add(evalf(f(3+i*3/50)*3/50),i=1..50);
