To approximate the area of a region using upper and lower sums, we divide the region into subintervals of equal width. The upper sum is the sum of the areas of rectangles whose heights are determined by the maximum value of the function over each subinterval. The lower sum is the sum of the areas of rectangles whose heights are determined by the minimum value of the function over each subinterval.

In this case, we are given the function y = 7/x and the number of intervals between is 5. To find the upper and lower sums, we need to determine the height of each rectangle in each subinterval.

First, let's find the interval width. Since we have 5 subintervals, we need to determine the difference between the upper and lower bounds of the interval and divide it by the number of subintervals. However, from your question, the interval is not given. Please provide the interval bounds and I will be able to provide a more accurate answer.
