Answer

$\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(\left(i\frac{4}{n}\right)^{2}+3\right)\frac{4}{n}$ where: $\Delta x=\frac{4}{n}$ $x_{i}=i\frac{4}{n}$

Work Step by Step

$$\int_{0}^{4}(x^{2}+3)dx$$ So $a=0$, $b=4$ and $f(x)=x^{2}+3$ so: $$\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}=\frac{4-0}{n}=\frac{4}{n}$$ $$x_{i}=a+i\Delta x=0+i\frac{4}{n}=i\frac{4}{n}$$ so: $$\int_{0}^{4}(x^{2}+3)dx=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}f(x_{i})\Delta x=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_{i}^{2}+3)\Delta x=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(\left(i\frac{4}{n}\right)^{2}+3\right)\frac{4}{n}$$
