QUESTION 1 4

(a) Use Integration to evaluate ∫ √4x 1

correct to 3 decimal places,


(b)Use the trapezoidal rule with 4
intervals to evaluate the integral in part
(a), correct to 3 decimal places.
(c). Use Simpson’s 1/3 Rule with 4
intervals to evaluate the integral in part
(a), correct to 3 decimal places
(d). From the result above, which of the
numerical integration methods is more
accurate?

[ 8 √ x ]1 = 8 [ √ 4−√ 1]

= 8.000 (Correct to 3 decimal places)


1b) Given b (upper limit) = 4 and a
(lower limit) = 1 and n (no. of
intervals) = 4
d = b−a
n

d = 4−1
4 = 0.75

Using the Trapezoidal rule:


∫ f (x )dx = d ( 2 ( y + y ) +¿))
b

0 n
a

Where d = width of interval


y

= sum of remaining ordinates

= 0.75( 12 ( 4 +1) +( 3.024+ 2.530+2.219 ) ¿

∫ √4x dx

= 7.705 (correct to 3 decimal places)

1c) Given b (upper limit) = 4 and a (lower


limit) = 1 and n (no. of intervals) = 4
d = b−a

ordinate) + 4(sum of even ordinates) +


2(sum of remaining odd ordinates)}

= 13 (0.75) {(4 + 1) + 4(3.024 + 2.219)

∫ √4x dx

+ 2(2.530)}

= 7.758 (correct to 3 decimal places)

1d) Comparing the results of trapezoidal


and Simpson’s rule to the integration,
Simpson’s rule gives a higher degree of
accuracy than trapezoidal rule.
