  1. SECTION 6.5 APPROXIMATE INTEGRATION

  2. THE MIDPOINT RULE where and 6.5

  3. THE TRAPEZOIDAL RULE where ∆x = (b–a)/n and xi = a + i ∆x 6.5

  4. Example 1 • Approximate the integral with n = 5, using: (a) Trapezoidal Rule(b) Midpoint Rule 6.5

  5. Example 1(a) SOLUTION • With n = 5, a = 1 and b = 2, we have: ∆x = (2 – 1)/5 = 0.2 • So, the Trapezoidal Rule gives: 6.5

  6. Example 1(a) SOLUTION • The approximation is illustrated in Figure 3. 6.5

  7. Example 1(b) SOLUTION • The midpoints of the five subintervals are: 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 1.9 • So, the Midpoint Rule gives: 6.5

  8. Example 1(b) SOLUTION • This approximation is illustrated in Figure 4. 6.5

  9. ERROR BOUNDS Suppose | f ’’(x) | ≤ Kfor a ≤ x ≤ b. If ET and EM are the errors in the Trapezoidal and Midpoint Rules, then 6.5

  10. Example 2 • How large should we take n in order to guarantee that the Trapezoidal and Midpoint Rule approximations for are accurate to within 0.0001? 6.5

  11. Example 2 SOLUTION • We saw in the preceding calculation that | f ’’(x) | ≤ 2 for 1 ≤ x ≤ 2 • So, we can take K = 2, a = 1, and b = 2 in (3). • Accuracy to within 0.0001 means that the size of the error should be less than 0.0001 • Therefore, we choose n so that: 6.5

  12. Example 2 SOLUTION • Solving the inequality for n, we getor • Thus, n = 41 will ensure the desired accuracy. 6.5

  13. Example 2 SOLUTION • It’s quite possible that a lower value for n would suffice. • However, 41 is the smallest value for which the error-bound formula can guarantee us accuracy to within 0.0001 6.5

  14. Example 2 SOLUTION • For the same accuracy with the Midpoint Rule, we choose n so that: • This gives: 6.5

  15. Example 3 • Use the Midpoint Rule with n = 10 to approximate the integral • Give an upper bound for the error involved in this approximation. 6.5

  16. Example 3(a) SOLUTION • As a = 0, b = 1, and n = 10, the Midpoint Rule gives: 6.5

  17. Example 3(a) SOLUTION • Figure 6 The approximation. 6.5

  18. Example 3(b) SOLUTION • As f(x) = ex2, we have: f ’(x) = 2xex2 and f ’’(x) = (2 + 4x2)ex2 • Also, since 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, we have x2 ≤ 1. • Hence, 0 ≤ f ’’(x) = (2 + 4x2) ex2 ≤ 6e 6.5

  19. Example 3(a) SOLUTION • Taking K = 6e, a = 0, b = 1, and n = 10 in the error estimate (3), we see that an upper bound for the error is: 6.5

  20. SIMPSON’S RULE where n is even and ∆x = (b–a)/n. 6.5

  21. Example 4 • Use Simpson’s Rule with n = 10 to approximate 6.5

  22. Example 4 SOLUTION • Putting f(x) = 1/x, n = 10, and ∆x = 0.1 in Simpson’s Rule, we obtain: 6.5

  23. Example 5 • Figure 9 shows data traffic on the link from the U.S. to SWITCH, the Swiss academic and research network, on February 10, 1998. • D(t) is the data throughput, measured in megabits per second (Mb/s). 6.5

  24. Example 5 SOLUTION • Use Simpson’s Rule to estimate the total amount of data transmitted on the link up to noon on that day. 6.5

  25. Example 5 SOLUTION • Since we want the units to be consistent and D(t) is measured in Mb/s, we convert the units for t from hours to seconds. 6.5

  26. Example 5 SOLUTION • If we let A(t) be the amount of data (in Mb) transmitted by time t, where t is measured in seconds, then A’(t) = D(t). • So, by the Net Change Theorem (Section 4.3), the total amount of data transmitted by noon (when t = 12 × 602 = 43,200) is: 6.5

  27. Example 5 SOLUTION • We estimate the values of D(t) at hourly intervals from the graph and compile them here. 6.5 p. 539

  28. Example 5 SOLUTION • Then, we use Simpson’s Rule with n = 12 and ∆t = 3600 to estimate the integral, as follows. • The total amount of data transmitted up to noon is 144,000 Mbs, or 144 gigabits. 6.5

  29. ERROR BOUND FOR SIMPSON’S RULE Suppose that | f (4)(x) | ≤ Kfor a ≤ x ≤ b. If Es is the error involved in using Simpson’s Rule, then 6.5

  30. Example 6 • How large should we take n to guarantee that the Simpson’s Rule approximation for is accurate to within 0.0001? • SOLUTION • If f(x) = 1/x, then f (4)(x) = 24/x5. • Since x≥ 1, we have 1/x ≤ 1, and so • Thus, we can take K = 24 in (4). 6.5

  31. Example 6 SOLUTION • So, for an error less than 0.0001, we should choose n so that: • This gives or 6.5

  32. Example 6 SOLUTION • Therefore, n = 8 (n must be even) gives the desired accuracy. • Compare this with Example 2, where we obtained n = 41 for the Trapezoidal Rule and n = 29 for the Midpoint Rule. 6.5

  33. Example 7 • Use Simpson’s Rule with n = 10 to approximate the integral . • Estimate the error involved in this approximation. 6.5

  34. Example 7(a) SOLUTION • If n =10, then ∆x = 0.1 and the rule gives: 6.5

  35. Example 7(b) SOLUTION • The fourth derivative of f(x) = ex2 is: f (4)(x) = (12 + 48x2 + 16x4)ex2 • So, since 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, we have: 0 ≤ f (4)(x) ≤ (12 + 48 +16)e1 = 76e 6.5

  36. Example 7(b) SOLUTION • Putting K = 76e, a = 0, b = 1, and n = 10 in (4), we see that the error is at most: • Compare this with Example 3(b). • Thus, correct to three decimal places, we have: 6.5
