Determine which value best approximates the area of the region between the x-axis and the graph of ##f(x)=\frac{10}{x(x^2+1)}## over the interval [1,3]. Make your selection on the basis of a sketch of the region and not by performing any calculations. Explain your reasoning.

I am currently studying partial fractions and I must use partial fractions to solve this problem. My book is Calculus, 8th edition, by Larson. The page my problem is on is 560, #56.
At first, I try calculating the range of the area of this graph by calculating the area of the circumscribed and inscribed rectangles, each of which had a width of 1. I got a range of ##\frac{1}{3}\leq Area\leq6##. Unfortunately, this still leaves me with possible values of 3, 5, and 6. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
