1. Formula & Example-1 (table data)





Formula
1. Boole's Rule
`int y dx =(2h)/45 [7(y_0 + y_n) + 32(y_1+y_3+y_5+...) + 12(y_2+y_6+y_10+...) + 14(y_4+y_8+y_12+...)]`
`int f(x) dx =(2Delta x )/45 [7(f(x_(0))+f(x_(n)))+32(f(x_(1))+f(x_(3))+f(x_(5))+...)+12(f(x_(2))+f(x_(6))+f(x_(10))+...)+14(f(x_(4))+f(x_(8))+f(x_(12))+...)]`

Examples
1. Find the approximated integral value using Boole's rule
xf(x)
1.44.0552
1.64.9530
1.86.0436
2.07.3891
2.29.0250


Solution:
The value of table for `x` and `f(x)`

`x``f(x)`
`x_0=1.4``f(x_(0))=4.0552`
`x_1=1.6``f(x_(1))=4.953`
`x_2=1.8``f(x_(2))=6.0436`
`x_3=2``f(x_(3))=7.3891`
`x_4=2.2``f(x_(4))=9.025`


Method-1:
Using Boole's Rule
`int f(x) dx =(2Delta x )/45 [7(f(x_(0))+f(x_(n)))+32(f(x_(1))+f(x_(3))+f(x_(5))+...)+12(f(x_(2))+f(x_(6))+f(x_(10))+...)+14(f(x_(4))+f(x_(8))+f(x_(12))+...)]`


`int f(x) dx=(2Delta x )/45 [7f(x_(0))+32f(x_(1))+12f(x_(2))+32f(x_(3))+7f(x_(4))]`

`7f(x_(0))=7*4.0552=28.3864`

`32f(x_(1))=32*4.953=158.496`

`12f(x_(2))=12*6.0436=72.5232`

`32f(x_(3))=32*7.3891=236.4512`

`7f(x_(4))=7*9.025=63.175`

`int f(x) dx=(2xx0.2)/45*(28.3864+158.496+72.5232+236.4512+63.175)`

`=(2xx0.2)/45*(559.0318)`

`=4.9692`

Solution by Boole's Rule is `4.9692`



Method-2:
Using Boole's Rule
`int f(x) dx =(2Delta x )/45 [7(f(x_(0))+f(x_(n)))+32(f(x_(1))+f(x_(3))+f(x_(5))+...)+12(f(x_(2))+f(x_(6))+f(x_(10))+...)+14(f(x_(4))+f(x_(8))+f(x_(12))+...)]`


`int f(x) dx=(2Delta x )/45 [7(f(x_(0))+f(x_(4)))+32(f(x_(1))+f(x_(3)))+12(f(x_(2)))+14()]`

`=(2xx0.2)/45 [7xx(4.0552 +9.025)+32xx(4.953+7.3891)+12xx(6.0436)+14xx()]`

`=(2xx0.2)/45 [7xx(13.0802) + 32xx(12.3421) + 12xx(6.0436) + 14xx(0)]`

`=(2xx0.2)/45 [(91.5614) + (394.9472) + (72.5232) + (0)]`

`=4.9692`

Solution by Boole's Rule is `4.9692`
