Write right_sum(f, a, b, n) returning the right Riemann sum ∑k=1nf ⁣(a+k b−an)b−an\sum_{k=1}^{n} f\!\left(a + k\,\tfrac{b - a}{n}\right)\tfrac{b - a}{n}. Use Fraction so that the sums are exact when a, b are fractions and f is a polynomial. Then check Theorem 7: for f(x)=x2f(x) = x^2 on [0,1][0, 1] it should equal (n+1)(2n+1)6n2\tfrac{(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6n^2}.
