Use Simpson's Rule with n = 10 to estimate the arc length of the curve. Compare your answer with the value of the integral produ

SOVA2 [1]

$y=\ln(6+x^3)\implies y'=\dfrac{3x^2}{6+x^3}$

The arc length of the curve is

$\displaystyle\int_0^5\sqrt{1+\frac{9x^4}{(6+x^3)^2}}\,\mathrm dx$

which has a value of about 5.99086.

Let $f(x)=\sqrt{1+\frac{9x^4}{(6+x^3)^2}}$ . Split up the interval of integration into 10 subintervals,

[0, 1/2], [1/2, 1], [1, 3/2], ..., [9/2, 5]

The left and right endpoints are given respectively by the sequences,

$\ell_i=\dfrac{i-1}2$

$r_i=\dfrac i2$

with $1\le i\le10$ .

These subintervals have midpoints given by

$m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{2i-1}4$

Over each subinterval, we approximate $f(x)$ with the quadratic polynomial

$p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}$

so that the integral we want to find can be estimated as

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx$

It turns out that

$\displaystyle\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i)}6$

so that the arc length is approximately

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}\frac{f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i)}6\approx5.99086$

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

A) Proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution of sample proportions leads or may tends to approximate a normal distribution and is an unbiased estimator that has a graph that is usually distributed and is not skewed. In other words, simply, we can also say that the population proportion is basically defined to be as the mean of the sample proportion. The population proportion is basically equaled the expected value of the sample proportion.

After an hour (4pm to 5pm) the temperature drops 18e⁻⁰˙⁶=9.9℉, so the temperature after an hour will be 68-9.9=58.1℉.
(The change -18e⁻⁰˙⁶ is negative indicating a drop in temperature.)
