• 3.    (a) Use the trapezoidal rule to find the area under the curve #y=x^2 + 1# from x=1 to x=15 using seven strips. (b) The cross-sectional area in #m^2# along the length of an 18 m wooden log are: 5.0, 5.4, 7.0, 8.0, 5.5, 5.8, 6.0 The cross-sectional areas are equally spaced. The first and the last areas represent the ends of the log. Estimate its volume using the trapezoidal rule.

• 8.    The table below shows values of x and the corresponding values of y for a given curve. (a) Use the trapezium rule with seven ordinates and the values in the table in the table only to estimate the area enclosed by the curve, x axis and the line x= #pi# 2 to four decimal places. (take #pi#=3.142) (b) The exact value of the area enclosed by the curve is known to be 0.8940.
