Answer:
A. the difference of two squares
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use the symbol " ^ " to indicate exponentiation.
Then we have x^2 - 11^2, which is the difference of two squares:
x^2 is a square, the square of x; and 11^2 is a square, the square of 11.
A. the difference of two squares
Note that a "difference of squares" is easily factored:
a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)
and so your x² - 11² factors as follows: (x - 11)(x + 11)
X=3 and x=-9 solve by factoring
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.
