    Your sum will be the sum of products of the width of the interval and the maximum of the values of the function at the ends of the interval.

    .. (-3/4 -(-1))*(1)^2 +(1/4 -(-3/4))*(-3/4)^2 +(3/4 -1/4)*(3/4)^2 +(1 -3/4)*(1)^2

    .. = 1/4*1 +1*9/16 +1/2*9/16 +1/4*1

    .. = 8/32 +18/32 +9/32 +8/32

    .. = 43/32
