Let's let the function be x^2 + 1

 

Using the left hand rule to calculate the area.......we will have 5 rectangles with the following heights    1, 5, 17, 37, 65  ...  and the width of each is 2

So......the total area = 2[1 + 5 + 17 + 37 + 65]  = 250 sq units

 

Using the right hand rule and applying the same procedure we have rectangles with the following heights 5, 17, 37, 65, 101  .... and the width of each is 2

So.....the total area = 2 [ 5 + 17 + 37 + 65 + 101] = 450 sq units

 

The actual area =   [10]^3/3 + 10  = 343+ 1/3 sq units

 

So

 

L5 < actual  area < R5
