Question 02:

Using Simpson's
1/ 3 Rule to evaluate
12

 (e
3x
 0.5) dx
0

(Divide the interval of integration into 8 equal parts.)

SOLUTION
Simpson’s 1/3 rule is a numarical integration method that approximates the definite integral of a
function over a given interval by using quadratic approximation. The formula for simpson’s 1/3
rule with equally spaced points is:
b

∫ f ( x )= 3h [ f 0 +4 ( f 1 + f 3+ f 5 +… f n−1 ) +2 ( f 2+ f 4 + f 6 +… f n−2 ) +f n ]
