The general Reimann Sum approximation of an integral takes the form
Where is the number of points/subintervals, and each subinterval is of uniform width
.
Knowing this, imagine that the subintervals are not of uniform width.
Denoting a particular subinterval's width as ,
the integral approximation becomes
