### Riemann Sums and Area Under a Curve

#### Problem Statement
The given problem asks to identify which Riemann sum represents the illustration provided. 

#### Graph Description
The graph illustrated is a piecewise function graph that appears to approximate the area under a curve using three rectangles, summing up the areas to estimate the definite integral. 

- The x-axis ranges from 0 to 9.
- The y-axis ranges from 0 to 4.
- The rectangles have a uniform width of 3 units and various heights (1, 2, and 3 units).

#### Choices
The options given for the Riemann sum are: 

1. \( \sum_{i=1}^{3} \frac{1}{3} x_i \cdot \Delta x_i \)
2. \( \sum_{i=1}^{3} \frac{2}{3} x_i \cdot \Delta x_i \)
3. \( \sum_{i=1}^{5} \frac{1}{3} x_i \cdot \Delta x_i \)
4. \( \sum_{i=1}^{3} \frac{1}{3} x_i \)

#### Riemann Sum Explanation
A Riemann sum calculates the approximate area under a curve by summing up the areas of rectangles. Each rectangle's area is given by \( f(x_i) \cdot \Delta x \), where \( x_i \) is a sample point in the \( i \)-th subinterval, and \( \Delta x \) is the width of each subinterval.

Here's how to interpret the graph according to the given options:

1. **First Option:**
   \[
   \sum_{i=1}^{3} \frac{1}{3} x_i \cdot \Delta x_i
   \]
   
   Sums the areas using heights scaled by \(\frac{1}{3} x_i\). Here, \( \Delta x_i \) should be the width of each interval, which is 3.

2. **Second Option:**
   \[
   \sum_{i=1}^{3} \frac{2}{3} x_i \cdot \Delta x_i
   \]
   
   Similar to the first but scales by \(\frac{2}{3} x_i\).

3. **Third Option:**
   \[
