6. Examine the 3 integrals below. For each, describe how you would approach the integration (each
should utilize a DIFFERENT METHOD). Provide any relevant information (for example, what your u
would be) that would be needed to perform the integration. YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THE
INTEGRATION.

a. Estimate the value of this integral using TRAPEZOID RULE with 6 subintervals of equal
length.

b. Estimate the value of this integral using SIMPSON’S RULE with 6 subintervals of equal
length.

c. Compute the MAXIMUM amount of error in your estimate from part (a). (Note: For this
homework, look up the formula. On the test, the formula will be given.)
