• 3.    The table below shows some values of the function #y=x^2 + 2x-3# (a) Complete the table. (b) Using the completed table and the mid-ordinate rule with six ordinates, estimate the area of the region bounded by the curve #y=x^2 + 2x – 3# and the lines y=0, x=-6 and x=-3. (c) (i) By integration, find the actual area of the region in (b) above.

• 4.    The diagram below is a sketch of the curve #y=x^2 + 5#. (a) (i) Use the mid-ordinate rule, with six strips to estimate the area enclosed by the curve, the x-axis, the y-axis and line x=3. (ii) Calculate the same area using integration method. (b) Assuming the area calculated in (a) (ii) is exact, calculate the percentage error made when the mid-ordinate rule is used.

• 6.    The figure below is a sketch of a curve whose equation is #y=x^2 + x + 5#. It cuts the line y=11 at points P and Q. (a) Find the area bounded by the curve #y=x^2 + x + 5# and the line y=11 using the trapezium rule with 5 strips. (b) Calculate the difference in the area if the mid-ordinate rule with 5 ordinates was used instead of the trapezium rule.
