f(x)=(x−2)3Our change in x(Δ) is given byΔx=46−2=1The Riemann sum which we denote by Sn isSn=Δx[f(2+1)+f(2+2)+f(2+3)+f(2+4)]Sn=1[f(3)+f(4)+f(5)+f(6)]=(3−2)3+(4−2)3+(5−2)3+(6−2)3=100Suppose [2,6] is divided into n intervals with s the width of eachinterval n6−2=n4The area of each sum is n4(xi−2)3, i = 1, 2, ..., n andxi=n4iSince we are using the right Riemann sum, we haveS=i=1∑nn4(n4i−2)3=n41(i=1∑n64i3−96i2n+81n2−8n3)=n41(64(2n(n+1))2−96n(6n(n+1)(2n+1))+8n2(2n(n+1))−8n4)Taking the limit of the expression above, we have thatn→∞limn41(64(2n(n+1))2−96n(6n(n+1)(2n+1))+8n2(2n(n+1))−8n4)=12
