Find the approximated integral value of an equation 1/x using Midpoint 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`
| `x` |
| `x_0=1` |
| `x_1=1.25` |
| `x_2=1.5` |
| `x_3=1.75` |
| `x_4=2` |
Method-1:Using Midpoint Rule of Riemann Sum
`int f(x) dx=Delta x xx(f((x_0+x_1)/2)+f((x_1+x_2)/2)+f((x_2+x_3)/2)+...+f((x_(n-1)+x_n)/2))`
`int f(x) dx=Delta x xx(f((x_0+x_1)/2)+f((x_1+x_2)/2)+f((x_2+x_3)/2)+f((x_3+x_4)/2))`
`=Delta x xx(f((1+1.25)/2)+f((1.25+1.5)/2)+f((1.5+1.75)/2)+f((1.75+2)/2))`
`=Delta x xx(f(1.125)+f(1.375)+f(1.625)+f(1.875))`
`=0.25xx(0.8889+0.7273+0.6154+0.5333)`
`=0.25xx(2.7649)`
`=0.6912`
Solution by Midpoint Rule of Riemann Sum is `0.6912`
