In class we learned that the area under the curve of a continuous, positive-
valued function on a closed interval [a, b], is given by:
A = lim Rn = lim [ f ( x1 )Δx + f ( x2 )Δx + ... + f ( xn )Δx ]
n →∞ n →∞

where Rn represents the sum of areas of n rectangles and Δx = b −n a .

Given f ( x) = x 2 + x , use limits to determine the true area under the graph of
this function on the closed interval [0, 1].
