Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule of Integration * What is Integration? Integration The process of measuring the area under a curve. Where: f(x) is the integrand a= lower limit of integration b= upper limit of integration f(x) a b y x * Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule * Basis of Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule Trapezoidal rule was based on approximating the integrand by a first order polynomial, and then integrating the polynomial in the interval of integration. Simpson’s 1/3rd rule is an extension of Trapezoidal rule where the integrand is approximated by a second order polynomial. Hence Where is a second order polynomial. * Basis of Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule Choose and as the three points of the function to evaluate a0, a1 and a2. * Basis of Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule Solving the previous equations for a0, a1 and a2 give * Basis of Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule Then * Basis of Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule Substituting values of a0, a1, a 2 give Since for Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule, the interval [a, b] is broken into 2 segments, the segment width * Basis of Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule Hence Because the above form has 1/3 in its formula, it is called Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule. * Example 1 a) Use Simpson’s 1/3rd Rule to find the approximate value of x The distance covered by a rocket from t=8 to t=30 is given by b) Find the true error, c) Find the absolute relative true error, * Solution
