a. Use Simpson's Rule to approximate \(\int_{0}^{4} x^{3} d x\) using two subintervals \((n=2) ;\) compare the approximation to the value of the integral. b. Use Simpson's Rule to approximate \(\int_{0}^{4} x^{3} d x\) using four subintervals \((n=4) ;\) compare the approximation to the value of the integral. c. Use the error bound associated with Simpson's Rule given in Theorem 7.2 to explain why the approximations in parts (a) and (b) give the exact value of the integral. d. Use Theorem 7.2 to explain why a Simpson's Rule approximation using any (even) number of subintervals gives the exact value of \(\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x,\) where \(f(x)\) is a polynomial of degree 3 or less.
Compute \(\int_{0}^{1} \ln x d x\) using integration by parts. Then explain why \(-\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x} d x\) (an easier integral) gives the same result.
Approximate the following integrals using Simpson's Rule. Experiment with values of \(n\) to ensure that the error is less than \(10^{-3}\). \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{4 \cos x}{5-4 \cos x} d x=\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)
Compare the errors in the Midpoint and Trapezoid Rules with \(n=4,8,16,\) and 32 subintervals when they are applied to the following integrals (with their exact values given). \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \ln (5+3 \cos x) d x=\pi \ln \frac{9}{2}\)
Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. The Trapezoid Rule is exact when used to approximate the definite integral of a linear function. b. If the number of subintervals used in the Midpoint Rule is increased by a factor of \(3,\) the error is expected to decrease by a factor of 8. c. If the number of subintervals used in the Trapezoid Rule is increased by a factor of \(4,\) the error is expected to decrease by a factor of 16.
