That is a description of the formula for the rectangle rule using left endpoints.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that integral approximation formula is calculated as follows:

Integral from a to be of f(x) dx is calculated as dividing the region between the curve, the x axis and y=a and y=b into a number of trapeziums (n) of equal width and then calculating the area of the trapeziums and adding.

The width of triangle would be (b-a)/n

The length would vary depending on the position of x.

First rectangle has length = y_0 = f(a)

Hence left end points are used

So this is Riemann left sum approximation.
