Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related CAL2.53 Left, Right, Midpoint, Trapezoid, and Simpson Comparisons skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A smooth increasing function has endpoint values at 13 equally spaced points on [0,6], and f^(4)(x)<0 throughout the interval. Which statement best combines feasibility and error direction?
ASimpson's Rule is feasible with n=12 and underestimates the integral.
BSimpson's Rule is not feasible because 13 is odd.
CTrapezoid is exact because the function is increasing.
DRight sum must be more accurate than Simpson's Rule.
Solution & Explanation:Thirteen equally spaced points create n=12 subintervals, and 12 is even, so Simpson's Rule is feasible. Since f^(4)<0, the Simpson error relation I−S_n is positive, so Simpson's estimate is below the integral.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A table has values at x=0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1.0 for a smooth function, and the task is to use all values with the highest-order listed method. Which choice is correct?
ALeft sum with h=0.25
BRight sum with h=0.25
CTrapezoid rule only
DSimpson's Rule with n=4
Solution & Explanation:The five equally spaced values create four subintervals, and four is even. Simpson's Rule uses all values and has higher-order accuracy than the endpoint rectangle or trapezoid rules for smooth functions.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
To reduce a smooth-rule error tolerance by a factor of 10, which comparison of subinterval growth is most accurate?
ASimpson needs about 10 times as many subintervals, while trapezoid needs about 2 times as many.
BTrapezoid and Simpson both need exactly 10 times as many subintervals.
CSimpson needs a factor of about 10^(1/4), while trapezoid needs a factor of about sqrt(10).
DNeither method changes with tolerance.
Solution & Explanation:Simpson error scales like n^(−4), so reducing error by 10 requires multiplying n by 10^(1/4). Trapezoid error scales like n^(−2), requiring a larger factor sqrt(10).
