Problem

A function hh is positive, increasing, and concave down on [0,6][0,6]. Decide whether each of the following approximations is less than or greater than the exact value of I=∫06h(x) dx\displaystyle I=\int_{0}^{6} h(x)\,dx: L = Left Riemann sum with equal subintervals M = Midpoint Riemann sum with equal subintervals R = Right Riemann sum with equal subintervals Provide your answer in the form: L: ___ ; M: ___ ; R: ___, using “< I” or “> I” to indicate each relationship.
