a ) (0.75 p) Find M2 such that |f ′′ (x)| ≤ M2 for all x ∈ [0, 1].
b ) (1.5 p) Calculate two approximations of I by using the trapezoid and Simpson's
rules in the case when we evaluate the function f at the ve points that divide
[0, 1] into four equal parts and determine upper bounds of the errors.
c ) (0.75 p) Determine the number of points at which we have to evaluate the function
f to approximate I up to an error of 10−6 by using the composite trapezoid rule.
d ) (1 p) Knowing that the fourth derivative of f veries
|f (4) (x)| ≤ 24, ∀x ∈ [0, 1] ,
determine the number of points at which we have to evaluate the function f to
approximate I up to an error of 10−6 by using the composite Simpson rule. Write
the formula that gives the approximation.
