Find the approximated integral value of an equation 1/x using Boole's rule
a = 1 and b = 2
Step value (h) = 0.25Solution:Equation is `f(x)=(1)/(x)`
`a=1`
`b=2`
The value of table for `x` and `f(x)`
| `x` | `f(x)` |
| `x_0=1` | `f(x_(0))=f(1)=1` |
| `x_1=1.25` | `f(x_(1))=f(1.25)=0.8` |
| `x_2=1.5` | `f(x_(2))=f(1.5)=0.6667` |
| `x_3=1.75` | `f(x_(3))=f(1.75)=0.5714` |
| `x_4=2` | `f(x_(4))=f(2)=0.5` |
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*0.8=25.6`
`12f(x_(2))=12*0.6667=8`
`32f(x_(3))=32*0.5714=18.2857`
`7f(x_(4))=7*0.5=3.5`
`int f(x) dx=(2xx0.25)/45*(7+25.6+8+18.2857+3.5)`
`=(2xx0.25)/45*(62.3857)`
`=0.6932`
Solution by Boole's Rule is `0.6932`
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 +0.5)+32xx(0.8+0.5714)+12xx(0.6667)+14xx()]`
`=(2xx0.25)/45 [7xx(1.5) + 32xx(1.3714) + 12xx(0.6667) + 14xx(0)]`
`=(2xx0.25)/45 [(10.5) + (43.8857) + (8) + (0)]`
`=0.6932`
Solution by Boole's Rule is `0.6932`
