Split up the integration interval into 4 subintervals:
![\left[0,\dfrac\pi8\right],\left[\dfrac\pi8,\dfrac\pi4\right],\left[\dfrac\pi4,\dfrac{3\pi}8\right],\left[\dfrac{3\pi}8,\dfrac\pi2\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B0%2C%5Cdfrac%5Cpi8%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac%5Cpi8%2C%5Cdfrac%5Cpi4%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac%5Cpi4%2C%5Cdfrac%7B3%5Cpi%7D8%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac%7B3%5Cpi%7D8%2C%5Cdfrac%5Cpi2%5Cright%5D)
The left and right endpoints of the
-th subinterval, respectively, are


for
, and the respective midpoints are

We approximate the (signed) area under the curve over each subinterval by

so that

We approximate the area for each subinterval by

so that

We first interpolate the integrand over each subinterval by a quadratic polynomial
, where

so that

It so happens that the integral of
reduces nicely to the form you're probably more familiar with,

Then the integral is approximately

Compare these to the actual value of the integral, 3. I've included plots of the approximations below.

Answer:
(b) One figure is a rotation image of the other
Step-by-step explanation:
The axis of symmetry is horizontal for the left figure, and vertical for the right figure. The right figure has been rotated 90° CW from the left figure.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 3x
To make the expression a perfect square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²
x² + 2( -
)x +
, thus
x² - 3x + 
= (x -
)² ← a perfect square
