Find the approximated integral value using Boole's rule
xf(x)
0.001.0000
0.250.9896
0.500.9589
0.750.9089
1.000.8415


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

`x``f(x)`
`x_0=0``f(x_(0))=1`
`x_1=0.25``f(x_(1))=0.9896`
`x_2=0.5``f(x_(2))=0.9589`
`x_3=0.75``f(x_(3))=0.9089`
`x_4=1``f(x_(4))=0.8415`


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*0.9896=31.6672`

`12f(x_(2))=12*0.9589=11.5068`

`32f(x_(3))=32*0.9089=29.0848`

`7f(x_(4))=7*0.8415=5.8905`

`int f(x) dx=(2xx0.25)/45*(7+31.6672+11.5068+29.0848+5.8905)`

`=(2xx0.25)/45*(85.1493)`

`=0.9461`

Solution by Boole's Rule is `0.9461`



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()]`

`=(2xx0.25)/45 [7xx(1 +0.8415)+32xx(0.9896+0.9089)+12xx(0.9589)+14xx()]`

`=(2xx0.25)/45 [7xx(1.8415) + 32xx(1.8985) + 12xx(0.9589) + 14xx(0)]`

`=(2xx0.25)/45 [(12.8905) + (60.752) + (11.5068) + (0)]`

`=0.9461`

Solution by Boole's Rule is `0.9461`
