PROBLEM 1:

Problem 1 involves using integration by parts to evaluate the definite integral. This enables one
to confirm the accuracy of the result produced by using the codes. As the first prerequisite for
Problem 1, the group had to estimate the integral using the Trapezoidal rule in (b) with 10 as
the value of N as well as in Simpson’s 1/3 rule (c) and in Adaptive Quadrature via Trapezoidal
rule (d). The students did this while following the guidelines presented in the presentation. The
final stage of the formula, the trapezoidal rule, allowed the students to arrive at the solution of
100.67995 (b), 98.45669 (c) in Simpson’s 1/3 rule, and 98.42770 (d) in Adaptive Quadrature via
Trapezoidal rule.

Problem 2:
The group integrates the equation after solving problem 2-A analytically to arrive at the result
of 9. The following problem requires adaptive quadrature with a tolerance level of 10e-8 in
order to acquire the area covered. The region is encoded with the value 8.9999. In order to
identify the area in the final problem, the group must also apply the midway rule wherein we
had to estimate the equivalent of 500 in N. The codes were executed, giving 9.0000.
