2. (2.5 p.) Find the area of the region bounded by the graphs of the function f (x) = x · log(x + 1), the
line x = 2 and the x-axis.
Z 2

3. (3.5 p) We consider the integral I = .
0 x+2

(a) For f (x) = , find upper bounds on |f ′′ (x)| and |f (4) (x)|, where x ∈ [0, 2].
x+2
(b) Calculate two approximations of I using the simple trapezoid and simple Simpson’s rules. De-
termine upper bounds on the errors.

(c) Determine the number of subintervals to divide [0, 2] to approximate I up to an error 10−5 when
we use the composite trapezoid rule. Write the formula that gives the approximation.

(d) Repeat part (c) by using the composite Simpson’s rule.
