Simpson’s Rule is based on the fact that given any three points, you can find the equation of a quadratic through those points. For example, let’s say you had points (3, 12), (1, 5), and (5, 9). Starting with (3, 12) and using y = ax2 + bx + c, you could write: x y. 12 = a(3)2 + b(3) + c.

It can be proved that single segment application of Simpson’s 1=3 rule has a truncation error of Et = ¡ 1 90 h5f(4)(») where » is between a and b. Simpson’s 1=3 rule yields exact results for third order polynomials even though it is derived from parabola. Example: Use Simpson’s 1=3 rule to integrate f(x) = 0:2+25x+3x2 +8x3 from a = 0 ...
Simpson’s rule estimates the area under the graph of f (x) by ap-proximating the function f (x) by a parabola and calculating the area. (x) by the area underparabola using two strip. . under the parabola. Each parabolic approximation is.
Practice Problems: Simpson's Rule (1/3) Also known as Simpson’s Rule is a numerical integration technique that improves upon the Trapezoidal Rule by utilizing the geometry of parabolic arcs. The number of partitions must be even.
