Further Integration (Edexcel A Level Maths: Pure): Exam Questions

A student is estimating the area bounded by the curve y=fx, the x-axis and the lines and .

The student intends to find the area of two rectangles of equal width in order to estimate the area as shown in the diagram below.

By drawing a sketch, show how the student’s estimate of the area can be improved while still using rectangles of equal width.
