Let ff be continuous and decreasing on [0,3][0,3]. If LL is a left Riemann sum and RR is a right Riemann sum for 03f(x)dx\int_0^3 f(x)\,dx with equal subintervals, which of the following must be true?

A.L>03f(x)dx>RL>\int_0^3 f(x)\,dx>R
B.R>03f(x)dx>LR>\int_0^3 f(x)\,dx>L
C.L=03f(x)dx=RL=\int_0^3 f(x)\,dx=R
D.L<03f(x)dx<RL<\int_0^3 f(x)\,dx<R

Explanation

Core Concept

For a decreasing function, left endpoint heights are too large and right endpoint heights are too small, so L>03f(x)dx>RL>\int_0^3 f(x)\,dx>R.

Correct Answer

AL>03f(x)dx>RL>\int_0^3 f(x)\,dx>R
