Find the approximated integral value using Boole's rule
xf(x)
0.01.0000
0.10.9975
0.20.9900
0.30.9776
0.40.8604


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

`x``f(x)`
`x_0=0``f(x_(0))=1`
`x_1=0.1``f(x_(1))=0.9975`
`x_2=0.2``f(x_(2))=0.99`
`x_3=0.3``f(x_(3))=0.9776`
`x_4=0.4``f(x_(4))=0.8604`


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*1=7`

`32f(x_(1))=32*0.9975=31.92`

`12f(x_(2))=12*0.99=11.88`

`32f(x_(3))=32*0.9776=31.2832`

`7f(x_(4))=7*0.8604=6.0228`

`int f(x) dx=(2xx0.1)/45*(7+31.92+11.88+31.2832+6.0228)`

`=(2xx0.1)/45*(88.106)`

`=0.3916`

Solution by Boole's Rule is `0.3916`



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()]`

`=(2xx0.1)/45 [7xx(1 +0.8604)+32xx(0.9975+0.9776)+12xx(0.99)+14xx()]`

`=(2xx0.1)/45 [7xx(1.8604) + 32xx(1.9751) + 12xx(0.99) + 14xx(0)]`

`=(2xx0.1)/45 [(13.0228) + (63.2032) + (11.88) + (0)]`

`=0.3916`

Solution by Boole's Rule is `0.3916`
