Answer #1

According to Simpson's rule,

AC f(x)dx (f(x0) +4f(21) +2f (x2)+4f (23+2f (24) +...+2f (In-2) + 4f (In-1) + f(n)) $s

Here, a=0 b=1/2,   \small f(x)=\frac{6}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} , n=6

\small \therefore \bigtriangleup x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-0}{6}=\frac{1}{12}

Dividing the interval [0,1/2] into six intervals of length 1/12 , we get

\small a=0,\frac{1}{12},\frac{1}{6},\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{3},\frac{5}{12},\frac{1}{2}=b

\small f(x_{o})=f(a)=f(0)=\frac{6}{\sqrt{1-0}}=6

\small 4f(x_{1})=4f(\frac{1}{12})=\frac{288\sqrt{143}}{143}\approx 24.0838

\small 2f(x_{2})=2f(\frac{1}{6})=\frac{72\sqrt{35}}{35}\approx 12.1702

\small 4f(x_{3})=4f(\frac{1}{4})=\frac{32\sqrt{15}}{5}\approx 24.7871

\small 2f(x_{4})=2f(\frac{1}{3})=9\sqrt{2}\approx 12.7279

\small 4f(x_{5})=4f(\frac{5}{12})=\frac{288\sqrt{119}}{119}\approx 26.4009

\small f(x_{6})=f(b)=f(\frac{1}{2})=4\sqrt{3}\approx 6.9282

\small \frac{\Delta x}{3}=\frac{1}{36}

\small \pi=\frac{1}{36}(6+24.0838+12.1702+...+6.9282)=\mathbf{3.1416}
