Question:

Simpson’s rule for the numerical evaluation of an integral is

S f(x)dx= b-a n -(fo+ 4f +2f+.... + 2 fn-2 + 4f-1+ fn)

where n is an even number. The global truncation error is

(b-a)5 180n* -f) (c), with a

If f(x) = ln cosh x and a = 0, b = 0.5, show that |f(4)(x)| 4). If f(x) is tabulated to 4dp, show that the accumulated rounding error using the formula is less than 1/40 000, and find n such that, using the formula, the integral ∫00.5 ln cosh x dx would be evaluated correctly to 4d
