right-endpoint approximation
[right-endpoint approximation|right-endpoint approximation] is a method where the right endpoint is used to approximate a value, resulting in an overestimate such as 0.6345.
Definition
right-endpoint approximation is a method where the right endpoint is used to approximate a value, resulting in an overestimate such as 0.6345.
Mechanism
right-endpoint approximation generates the Riemann sum by constructing rectangles on each subinterval [x;_ 4, x;], with height determined by the function value at the right endpoint.
Effects
right-endpoint approximation The right-endpoint approximation constructs rectangles on each subinterval [x;_ 4, x;], using the function value at the right endpoint as the height. This method applies the rule to approximate areas under curves by only considering the right endpoint of each subinterval.
