The area of the surface is given exactly by the integral,
We have
so the area is
We split up the domain of integration into 10 subintervals,
[0, 1/2], [1/2, 1], [1, 3/2], ..., [4, 9/2], [9/2, 5]
where the left and right endpoints for the -th subinterval are, respectively,
with midpoint
with .
Over each subinterval, we interpolate with the quadratic polynomial,
Then
It turns out that the latter integral reduces significantly to
which is about 651.918, so that the area is approximately .
Compare this to actual value of the integral, which is closer to 1967.
