The instructions for the integrals in Exercises 1–10 have three parts, one for the Midpoint Rule, one for the Trapezoidal Rule, and one for Simpson’s Rule.
III. Using Simpson's Rule
b. Evaluate the integral directly and find |ES|.

First, write down the integral to be evaluated directly: \(\int_{1}^{3} (2x - 1) \, dx\).
Recall the antiderivative of the integrand. For the function \(f(x) = 2x - 1\), find \(F(x)\) such that \(F'(x) = 2x - 1\).
Compute the antiderivative: \(F(x) = x^{2} - x + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration.
Evaluate the definite integral using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: calculate \(F(3) - F(1)\).
To find the Simpson's Rule error bound \(|E_{S}|\), use the formula \(|E_{S}| \leq \frac{(b - a)^{5}}{180 n^{4}} \max_{a \leq x \leq b} |f^{(4)}(x)|\). Since the integrand is a polynomial of degree 1, determine \(f^{(4)}(x)\) and use it to find \(|E_{S}|\).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Simpson's Rule

Simpson's Rule is a numerical method for approximating definite integrals by dividing the interval into an even number of subintervals and fitting parabolas through the function values. It generally provides more accurate results than the Midpoint or Trapezoidal Rules for smooth functions.

Exact Evaluation of Definite Integrals

Exact evaluation involves finding the antiderivative of the integrand and applying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to compute the integral's exact value. This provides a benchmark to compare against numerical approximations.

Error Bound for Simpson's Rule (|ES|)

The error bound |ES| estimates the maximum possible difference between the exact integral and the Simpson's Rule approximation. It depends on the fourth derivative of the function and the width of the subintervals, helping assess the accuracy of the numerical method.
