What is $49.90 at 10% off

1 answer:

4 0

$44.91 would be the answer because if you take the original price times the discount percentage over (divided) by 100 you would get 4.99 which you then would subtract from your total. Leaving you with 44.91

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

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Split up the integration interval into 4 subintervals:

$\left[0,\dfrac\pi8\right],\left[\dfrac\pi8,\dfrac\pi4\right],\left[\dfrac\pi4,\dfrac{3\pi}8\right],\left[\dfrac{3\pi}8,\dfrac\pi2\right]$

The left and right endpoints of the $i$ -th subinterval, respectively, are

$\ell_i=\dfrac{i-1}4\left(\dfrac\pi2-0\right)=\dfrac{(i-1)\pi}8$

$r_i=\dfrac i4\left(\dfrac\pi2-0\right)=\dfrac{i\pi}8$

for $1\le i\le4$ , and the respective midpoints are

$m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{(2i-1)\pi}8$

Trapezoidal rule

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

$T_i=\dfrac{f(\ell_i)+f(r_i)}2(\ell_i-r_i)$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4T_i\approx\boxed{3.038078}$

Midpoint rule

We approximate the area for each subinterval by

$M_i=f(m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4M_i\approx\boxed{2.981137}$

Simpson's rule

We first interpolate the integrand over each subinterval by a quadratic polynomial $p_i(x)$ , where

$p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}$
