(1) Use the Trapezoidal rule with n = 6 to approximate sin2 x dx.
0
(2) A function f (x) is given by the table of values. Approximate
the area under the curve y = f (x) between x = 0 and x = 8
using the Trapezoidal rule with n = 4 subintervals.
x 0 2 4 6 8
f(x) 3 7 11 9 3
(3) Use the Trapezoidal rule to evaluate the vertical distance
traveled by a rocket by dividing the interval (0, 30) into 10
equal parts
if the vertical velocity is given by
2
10t − 5t
if 0 ≤ t ≤ 10
V (t) = 1000 − 5t if 10 ≤ t ≤ 20
45t + 2(t − 20)2 if 20 ≤ t ≤ 30
(4) Approximate the area under the curve y = 2x between
x = −1 and x = 3 using the Trapezoidal rule with n = 4
subintervals.
(5) A function f (x) is given by the table of values. Find the
approximate area under the curve y = f (x) from x = 0 to
x = 4 using Simpson’s 31 rd rule with n = 4.
x 0 1 2 3 4
f(x) 2 7 12 10 5

(6) A solid of revolution is formed by rotating about the x axis
the area between the x axis, the lines x = 0 and x = 1, and
a curve through the points with the following coordinates
x 0 0.25 0.50 0.75 1
y 1 0.9896 0.9589 0.9089 0.8415
Estimate the volume of the solid formed, giving the answer
to three decimal places.

(7) Evaluate the integral (1 − x − 4x3 + 2x5)dx
−2
a) Analytically
b) by Trapezoidal rule with n = 2
c) by Simpson’s 31 rd rule with n = 4
d) by Simpson’s 38 th rule with n = 6
e) Compare b), c), d) with a).
(8) Use Simpson’s 13 rd rule with n = 4 to approximate the

(9) Evaluate dx, correct to three decimal places by
0 1 + x
both Trapezoidal rule and Simpson’s 13 rd rule with
h = 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125.
