Can someone help me with 11 A and B?

1 answer:

6 0

For 11a its 2:10 because how you would come up with it is by placing pablos free minutes first and then putting pablos paid minutes and 11b is8:25 because once again you would place sams free minutes first and then his paid minutes

Use the Trapezoidal Rule, the Midpoint Rule, and Simpson's Rule to approximate the given integral with the specified value of n.

I guess the "5" is supposed to represent the integral sign?

$I=\displaystyle\int_1^4\ln t\,\mathrm dt$

With $n=10$ subintervals, we split up the domain of integration as

[1, 13/10], [13/10, 8/5], [8/5, 19/10], ... , [37/10, 4]

For each rule, it will help to have a sequence that determines the end points of each subinterval. This is easily, since they form arithmetic sequences. Left endpoints are generated according to

$\ell_i=1+\dfrac{3(i-1)}{10}$

and right endpoints are given by

$r_i=1+\dfrac{3i}{10}$

where $1\le i\le10$ .

a. For the trapezoidal rule, we approximate the area under the curve over each subinterval with the area of a trapezoid with "height" equal to the length of each subinterval, $\dfrac{4-1}{10}=\dfrac3{10}$ , and "bases" equal to the values of $\ln t$ at both endpoints of each subinterval. The area of the trapezoid over the $i$ -th subinterval is

$\dfrac{\ln\ell_i+\ln r_i}2\dfrac3{10}=\dfrac3{20}\ln(ell_ir_i)$

Then the integral is approximately

$I\approx\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}\frac3{20}\ln(\ell_ir_i)\approx\boxed{2.540}$

b. For the midpoint rule, we take the rectangle over each subinterval with base length equal to the length of each subinterval and height equal to the value of $\ln t$ at the average of the subinterval's endpoints, $\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2$ . The area of the rectangle over the $i$ -th subinterval is then

$\ln\left(\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2\right)\dfrac3{10}$

so the integral is approximately

$I\approx\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}\frac3{10}\ln\left(\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2\right)\approx\boxed{2.548}$

c. For Simpson's rule, we find a quadratic interpolation of $\ln t$ over each subinterval given by

$P(t_i)=\ln\ell_i\dfrac{(t-m_i)(t-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+\ln m_i\dfrac{(t-\ell_i)(t-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+\ln r_i\dfrac{(t-\ell_i)(t-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}$
