A function r(t)r(t) is increasing on [0,6][0,6]. A left Riemann sum for 06r(t)dt\int_0^6 r(t)\,dt with equal subintervals is 4040, and the corresponding right Riemann sum is 5252. Which of the following must be true?

A.40<06r(t)dt<5240<\int_0^6 r(t)\,dt<52
B.06r(t)dt<40\int_0^6 r(t)\,dt<40
C.06r(t)dt>52\int_0^6 r(t)\,dt>52
D.06r(t)dt=46\int_0^6 r(t)\,dt=46

Explanation

Core Concept

For an increasing function the left sum underestimates and the right sum overestimates, so 40<06r(t)dt<5240<\int_0^6 r(t)\,dt<52.

Correct Answer

A40<06r(t)dt<5240<\int_0^6 r(t)\,dt<52
