Find the approximated integral value of an equation 2x^3-4x+1 using Boole's rule
a = 2 and b = 4
Step value (h) = 0.5Solution:Equation is `f(x)=2x^3-4x+1`
`a=2`
`b=4`
The value of table for `x` and `f(x)`
| `x` | `f(x)` |
| `x_0=2` | `f(x_(0))=f(2)=9` |
| `x_1=2.5` | `f(x_(1))=f(2.5)=22.25` |
| `x_2=3` | `f(x_(2))=f(3)=43` |
| `x_3=3.5` | `f(x_(3))=f(3.5)=72.75` |
| `x_4=4` | `f(x_(4))=f(4)=113` |
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*9=63`
`32f(x_(1))=32*22.25=712`
`12f(x_(2))=12*43=516`
`32f(x_(3))=32*72.75=2328`
`7f(x_(4))=7*113=791`
`int f(x) dx=(2xx0.5)/45*(63+712+516+2328+791)`
`=(2xx0.5)/45*(4410)`
`=98`
Solution by Boole's Rule is `98`
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()]`
`=(2xx0.5)/45 [7xx(9 +113)+32xx(22.25+72.75)+12xx(43)+14xx()]`
`=(2xx0.5)/45 [7xx(122) + 32xx(95) + 12xx(43) + 14xx(0)]`
`=(2xx0.5)/45 [(854) + (3040) + (516) + (0)]`
`=98`
Solution by Boole's Rule is `98`
