Chapter 11: Problem 21

Find an approximate value to four decimal places of the definite integral \(\int_{0}^{\pi / 3} \log _{10} \cos x d x\), (a) by the prismoidal formula; (b) by Simpson's rule, taking \(\Delta x=\frac{1}{12} \pi ;\) (c) by the trapezoidal rule, taking \(\Delta x=\frac{1}{12} \pi .\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
Approximately \(\int_{0}^{\pi / 3} \log _{10} \cos x\, dx 鈮� -0.3411\)

Step by step solution

01

- Define the integral and parameters

Given the integral \(\int_{0}^{\pi / 3} \log _{10} \cos x\, dx\), we need to specify the interval limits and the number of intervals for each method. For this problem, we'll use \(n = 4\) intervals and \(\Delta x = \frac{\pi}{12}\).
02

- Use the Prismoidal formula

Using the Prismoidal formula, create a table of function values for \(\log_{10}\cos x\) at points \(0, \frac{\pi}{12}, \frac{2\pi}{12}, \frac{3\pi}{12}\). Calculate the integral using the formula: \(\frac{\Delta x}{3}(f(x_0) + 4f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + 4f(x_3) + f(x_4))\).
03

- Calculate the function values

Calculate \(\log_{10}\cos x\) at \(x = 0, \frac{\pi}{12}, \frac{2\pi}{12}, \frac{3\pi}{12}\): \(f(0), f(\frac{\pi}{12}), f(\frac{2\pi}{12}), f(\frac{3\pi}{12}), f(\frac{4\pi}{12})\).
04

- Simpson's Rule application

Apply Simpson's rule formula using calculated values. Simpson's formula is \(\frac{\Delta x}{3}(f(x_0) + 4f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + 4f(x_3) + f(x_4))\).
05

- Trapezoidal Rule application

Apply the trapezoidal rule to find the integral. Trapezoidal rule formula is \(\frac{\Delta x}{2}(f(x_0) + 2f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + 2f(x_3) + f(x_4))\).
06

- Compute the values and results

Use the function values and rules to find the estimated integrals for each method. Ensure each result is rounded to four decimal places: Calculate the Prismoidal Formula result, Simpson's result, and Trapezoidal result.
07

- Verify and conclude.

Ensure each method's calculations are accurate. After summing up correctly with applied rules, compare results and note how close the estimates are.

Simpson's Rule
Simpson's Rule is a technique for approximating the definite integral of a function. It is particularly useful when the function is smooth over the interval of integration.
To apply Simpson's Rule, follow these steps:
  • Divide the interval \([a, b]\) into an even number of subintervals of equal width. The width, \(\triangle x\), is calculated as \(\frac{b-a}{n}\), where \) is the number of subintervals.
  • Calculate the function values at each endpoint and at the midpoints of the subintervals.
  • Use the formula: \(\frac{\triangle x}{3}(f(x_0) + 4f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + ... + 4f(x_{n-1}) + f(x_n))\).This formula ensures that Simpson's Rule weights the midpoints higher, leading to a more accurate approximation.
