Question

Use Simpson's Rule with n = 10 to estimate the arc length of the curve. Compare your answer with the value of the integral produced by your calculator. (Round your answer to six decimal places.) y = x ln x + 9, 1 ≤ x ≤ 3

Answer 1

which simpsons rule 1/3 1/8th?

Answer 2

basically simpsons rule is estimation with trapezoids

Answer 3

n=10 so, you need 10 trapezoids between x=1 to x= 3

Answer 4

so 5 trapzesoids for 1 change in x

Answer 5

y = x ln x

Answer 6

is basically this linear increase in ln x
