Trapezoidal Rule

1) Use five subintervals to integrate 10dx1+x2 using trapezoidal rule.

2) Find from the following table, the area bounded by the xaxis and the curve y=f(x) between x=5.34 and x=5.40 using the trapezoidal rule:
x5.345.355.365.375.385.395.40f(x)1.821.851.861.901.951.972.00

Simpson’s Rule

1) $$\begin{array}{ c c c c c c c c c c }\hline {Time(Minutes)} & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10 & 12 & 14 & 16 & 18 & 20 \ \hline {Speed(Km/h)} & 10 & 18 & 25 & 29 & 32 & 20 & 11 & 5 & 2 & 8.5 \ \hline\end{array}$$

Starting from rest in the beginning, the speed(in Km.h) of a train at different times(in minutes) is given by the above table.

Using Simpson’s 13rd rule, find the approximate distance travelled (in Km) in 20 minutes fro the beginning.

2) Derive the formula baydx=3h8[(y0+yn)+3(y1+y2+y4+y5++yn1)+2(y3+y6+yn3)]. Is there any restriction on n? State that condition. What is the error bounded in the case of Simpson’s 38th rule?

4) The velocity of a train which starts from rest is given in the following table. The time is in minutes and velocity is in km/hour.

Estimate approximately the total distance run in 30 minutes by using composite Simpson’s 13rd rule.

5) Calculate 102dx1+x (up to 3 places of decimal) by dividing the range into 8 equal parts by Simpson’s 13rd rule.

6) A solid of revolution is formed by rotating about the xaxis, the area between the xaxis, the line x=0 and x=1 and a curve through the points with the following co-ordinates:
x0.000.250.500.751y10.98960.95890.90890.8415

Find the volume of the solid.

9) The velocity of a particle at distance from a pint on it s path is given by the following table:
S(meters)0102030405060V(m/sec)47586465615238
Estimate the time taken to travel the first 60 meters using Simpson’s 13rd rule. Compare the result with Simpson’s 38th rule.

Gaussian Quadrature Formula

1) Find the values of the constant $a,b,c$ such that the quadrature formula:

hof(x)dx=h[af(o)+bf(h3)+cf(h)] is exact for polynomial of as high degree as possible, and hence find the order of the truncation error.

2) For an integral 11f(x)dx, show that the two point Gauss quadrature rule is given by 11f(x)dx=f(13)+f(13). Using this rule, estimate 422xexdx.

3) Use appropriate quadrature formulae out of the Trapezoidal and Simpson’s rules to numerically integrate 10dx1+x2 with h=0.2. Hence, obtain an approximate value of π. Justify the use of particular quadrature formula.

4) Evaluate 10ex2dx by employing three points Gaussian quadrature formula, finding the required weights and residues. Use five decimal places for computation.
