Step 1
The length of the sub-intervals and the function is computed as follows,
Δ x=b  an
Δ x=3n
xi= 1 + 3in
Step 2
The formula for computing the area under the curve is,
12 0.2(x  3)2(x + 1)dx=limn  i=lnf(xi) Δ x
12(0.2x3  x2 + 0.6x + 1.8)dx=limn   i=lnf(1 + 3in)(3n)
Step 3
Thus, the area of the function, using the limit definition of Riemann sum is,
limn   i=lnf(1 + 3in)(3n)=limn   i=ln(0.2(1 + 3in)3  (1 + 3in)2 + 0.6(1 + 3in) + 1.8)(3n)
=limn   i=ln(9.6in + 5.4i3n3  14.4i2n2)(3n)
=limn   i=ln(28.8in2 + 16.2i3n4  43.2i2n3)
=0
