3. Approximate ∫0 𝑥 sin(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 using the Trapezoidal Rule with step size 0.25.
4. Repeat Q3 using Simpson’s rule.
5. Use Simpson’s rule to approximate the definite integral of the function 𝑓(𝑥) over the
interval 𝑥 = 2 to 𝑥 = 2.6, given the values of the function in the table below.
𝑥 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6
𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) 3.2 2.7 4.1 3.8 3.5 4.6 5.2
6. Use Simpson’s rule with step size ℎ = 0.5 to approximate the integral

7. The increase in the voltage on a capacitor is given by 𝑉 = 𝐶 ∫ 𝐼(𝑡) 𝑑𝑡.
For a 10 𝐹 capacitor (recall that F = 10–6F) the following data is recorded for the
current 𝐼(𝑡) against time 𝑡; use this data and Simpson’s rule to estimate the voltage
increase across the capacitor after 2ms.
