Example Question #301 : Integrals
Approximate the length of the curve of on the interval . Use Simpson's Parabolic Rule with to make your estimate to the nearest thousandth.
The length of the curve of on the interval can be determined by evaluating the integral
.
, so
, and the integral to be approximated is
We divide the interval into four subintervals of width each, so
By Simpson's rule, we can estimate the integral by evaluating
where
We evaluate at these points, then substitute:
The approximation is therefore
Example Question #1 : Length Of Curve, Distance Traveled, Accumulated Change, Motion Of Curve
Give the arclength of the graph of the function on the interval .
The length of the curve of on the interval can be determined by evaluating the integral
.
so
.
The above integral becomes
Substitute . Then , , and the integral becomes
Example Question #1 : Length Of Curve, Distance Traveled, Accumulated Change, Motion Of Curve

For now, we look at the indefinite integral . The integral can be changed by setting and . Then
, or
and
so
which is the antiderivative.
Now, we can find the definite integral, and, subsequently, the average value:
Example Question #313 : Integrals
Approximate the length of the curve of on the interval . Use Simpson's Parabolic Rule with to make your estimate to the nearest thousandth.

.
, so
, and the integral to be approximated is
, or simplified,
.
We divide the interval into four subintervals of width each, so
.
By Simpson's rule, we can estimate the integral by evaluating
where .
We evaluate at these points, then substitute:
The approximation is therefore

The approximation is therefore
Example Question #138 : Integral Applications
What is the average value of the function on the interval ?
The average value of the function on the interval is equal to
, or
.
To evaluate this integral, we note that has negative value on and positive value on , so on , can be defined as
or
Therefore, the average value of is equal to
