Riemann sums challenge

Let AA denote the area of the shaded region shown below.
We can approximate the exact area AA using the following Riemann sums.
L(3)L(3) is the left-hand rule with 33 equal subdivisions.
R(3)R(3) is the right-hand rule with 33 equal subdivisions.
L(6)L(6) is the left-hand rule with 66 equal subdivisions.
M(6)M(6) is the midpoint rule with 66 equal subdivisions.
R(6)R(6) is the right-hand rule with 66 equal subdivisions.
Put these five approximations in order from smallest to largest.
  • R(3)R(3)
  • L(3)L(3)
  • M(6)M(6)
  • L(6)L(6)
  • R(6)R(6)
