3. Using a geometric series, write 2.1434343 . . . as a fraction.

4. Consider the region R bounded by y = 3x − x2 , the x-axis, x = 0 and x = 2.


(a) Estimate the area of R by using 8 evenly spaced rectangles where the heights of the rectangles
are obtained using the
(i) right endpoints; (ii) left endpoints; (iii) midpoints.
Note: Draw diagrams, work with fractions, then convert your answers up to 3 decimal places.
(b) Compute the area of the region R as the limit of a Riemann sum, taking the left endpoints as
sample points.
