  1. By considering the sum of the areas of these rectangles, show that \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \left( 2 x - x ^ { 2 } \right) d x < U _ { n }\), where $$U _ { n } = \left( 1 + \frac { 1 } { n } \right) \left( \frac { 2 } { 3 } - \frac { 1 } { 6 n } \right) .$$
  2. Use a similar method to find, in terms of \(n\), a lower bound \(L _ { n }\) for \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \left( 2 x - x ^ { 2 } \right) d x\).
  3. Show that \(\lim _ { n \rightarrow \infty } \left( \mathrm { U } _ { n } - \mathrm { L } _ { \mathrm { n } } \right) = 0\).
