6.4 q3.) use simpson's rule to approximate and use the fundamental theorem of calculus to find the exact value of the definite integral.

When we divide the interval from 1 to 5 into 4 subintervals, each has a width of 1. Simpson's rule has us evaluate the integral as

... integral = (1/3)(f(1) +4f(2) +2f(3) +4f(4) +f(5)) = (1/3)(10 +4·25 +2·46 +4·73 +106)

... integral = (1/3)(600) = 200 . . . . . by Simpson's rule

_____

The integral evaluates to

_____

Simpson's rule uses a quadratic interpolation, so evaluates quadratics exactly.

sorry, i can't understand your question. will later if you describe more clearly!

: )

may i see the picture? it would a lot, xox
