  2. Textfield(f) → inputBox1
  3. Sequence(a + (k * (b - a) / n), k, 1, n) → list1
  4. RectangleSum(f, a, b, n, d) → c
  5. Textfield(d) → inputBox3
  6. Textfield(m) → inputBox2
  7. TrapezoidalSum(f, a, b, n) → e
  8. Segment(A, (a, f(a))) → j
  9. Segment(B, (b, f(b))) → k

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw the integral approximation of a function f(x) over the interval [a, b] using both rectangular and trapezoidal methods. First, plot the graph of function f(x). Then, divide the interval [a, b] into n subintervals and approximate the integral using rectangles and trapezoids. Finally, draw line segments connecting the endpoints of the interval.
