Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using f(x) = sin(x), calculate the area under the curve from 0 to Ο€/2 using both Trapezoidal and Simpson's rules with n = 4 intervals. Analyze which method yields less error and why.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the behavior of sin(x) in multiple intervals.

Question 2

A smooth function's integral is calculated using both methods. Outline the implications of choosing a method depending on the smoothness of the function and computational resources.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the characteristics of the functions involved.
