matlab The error function is a mathematical function that frequently arises in probability and statistics. It also can show up in the solution to some partial differential equations, particularly those arising in heat and mass transfer applications. The error function is defined as 2 e-t dt picture attached This function is actually built-in to MATLAB as the command erf, and here we'll use that function to compute a "true value" with which we can compare results of two interpolation approaches....

7. (15 pts) Numerical Integration. Given a continuous function f (x) on the interval [a, b], write the Lagrange form of the quadratic polynomial interpolating f(a), (a b)), f(b). Instead of calculating the integral I(f) Jaf(x)dx we could approximate it via Q(f) = | q(x)dx. Find an expression for this quadrature rule, the so-called Simpson's rule.
