The summation inside the brackets is Rn which is the Riemann sum where the sample points are chosen to be the right-hand endpoints of each sub-interval. Calculate Rn for f(x)=(x^2)/4+6 on the interval [0,4] and write your answer as a function of n without any summation signs. You will need the summation formulas from your textbook.

Question

I got confused halfway and I emailed my professor except he wasn't much help with this problem. The question is:  Consider the function f(x)=(x^2)/4+6. In this problem you will calculate ∫ [4,0] (x^2/4+6)dx by using the definition --> ∫[b,a] f(x)dx =lim(n→∞) ∑ni=1 f(xi)Δx. 

The summation inside the brackets is Rn which is the Riemann sum where the sample points are chosen to be the right-hand endpoints of each sub-interval.

Calculate Rn for f(x)=(x^2)/4+6 on the interval [0,4] and write your answer as a function of n without any summation signs. You will need the summation formulas from your textbook.
