Identify the function given in the graph, which is \( f(x) = x^3 - 3x + 2 \).
Determine the interval over which we need to approximate the area, which is [0, 3].
Divide the interval [0, 3] into 3 equal subintervals. Each subinterval will have a width of \( \Delta x = \frac{3 - 0}{3} = 1 \).
Choose the sample points for each subinterval. For simplicity, we can use the left endpoints: \( x_0 = 0 \), \( x_1 = 1 \), and \( x_2 = 2 \).
Write the Riemann sum using the left endpoints: \( R = f(x_0) \cdot \Delta x + f(x_1) \cdot \Delta x + f(x_2) \cdot \Delta x \). Substitute the function values: \( R = (f(0) + f(1) + f(2)) \cdot 1 \).
