Section 7.10 : Approximating Definite Integrals
For each of the following integrals use the given value of n to approximate the value of the definite integral using
- the Midpoint Rule,
- the Trapezoid Rule, and
- Simpson’s Rule.
Use at least 6 decimal places of accuracy for your work.
- \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 2}}^{4}{{\sin \left( {{x^2} + 2} \right)\,dx}}\) using \(n = 6\)
- \( \displaystyle \int_{0}^{4}{{\sqrt[3]{{{x^4} + 6}}\,dx}}\) using \(n = 6\)
- \( \displaystyle \int_{1}^{5}{{{{\bf{e}}^{\cos \left( x \right)}}\,dx}}\) using \(n = 8\)
- \( \displaystyle \int_{3}^{5}{{\frac{1}{{1 - \ln \left( x \right)}}\,dx}}\) using \(n = 6\)
- \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 3}}^{1}{{\sin \left( x \right)\cos \left( {{x^2}} \right)\,dx}}\) using \(n = 8\)
