๐ Approximating Definite Integrals Using Simpsonโs Rule โ Step-by-Step Example ๐
In this video, I demonstrate how to use Simpsonโs Rule to approximate a definite integral. The process is similar to approximating with trapezoids, but here we use parabolic segments instead of rectangles. While the approximating formula changes slightly, itโs straightforward once you recognize the pattern, particularly the alternating coefficients of 4 and 2 for the "middle" terms.
๐ Whatโs covered:
A full, detailed example of using Simpsonโs Rule to approximate the integral of 1 / (1 + x^5) from 0 to 3.
Explanation of the formula and how Simpsonโs Rule improves accuracy by utilizing parabolas.
Discussion of the pattern of middle coefficients (4 and 2) and how they fit into the approximation formula.
๐ข In this example, we use n = 6 to demonstrate how the rule applies to this integral and explain how to compute the approximation step by step. Whether youโre learning numerical methods or preparing for calculus exams, this video provides a clear guide to mastering Simpsonโs Rule.
