A Riemann Sum uses rectangles to

• approximate the area under a curve. The more rectangles, the better the approximation.

• approximate the area under a curve. The less rectangles, the better the approximation.

• approximate the area under a curve. The more rectangles, the worse the approximation.

Using the Left Riemann Sum, approximate the area bounded by $y=\frac{1}{4}x^2+2$  from  $x=0$  to  $x=4$  when  $n=4$ .
