LIM-5.B—Interpret the limiting case of the Riemann sum as a definite integral question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

For a certain continuous function f, the right Riemann sum approximation of 02f(x)dx\int_{0}^{2} f(x) d x with n subintervals of equal length is 2(n+1)(3n+2)n2\frac{2(n+1)(3 n+2)}{n^{2}} for all n. What is the value of 02f(x)dx\int_{0}^{2} f(x) d x ?
