Quiz 07int Simpson3by8

(1) Simpson 3/8 rule for integration approximates the function f(x) over the interval [a,b] using a cubic polynomial rather than a quadratic polynomial as in Simpson's 1/3 rule. (2) The exact value of the integral from 1 to 4 of e^-2x^2 + 4x^2 - 8 dx is approximately 5.7606. (3) Applying a single Simpson's 3/8 rule approximation yields a value of approximately 60.0743 for the same integral. (4) Simpson's 3/8 rule is generally more accurate than Simpson's 1/3 rule for a given number of intervals due to
