Find the approximated integral value using Weddle's rule
xf(x)
01
11/2
21/3
31/4
41/5
51/6
61/7


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

`x``f(x)`
`x_0=0``f(x_(0))=1`
`x_1=1``f(x_(1))=0.5`
`x_2=2``f(x_(2))=0.3333`
`x_3=3``f(x_(3))=0.25`
`x_4=4``f(x_(4))=0.2`
`x_5=5``f(x_(5))=0.1667`
`x_6=6``f(x_(6))=0.1429`


Method-1:
Using Weddle's Rule
`int f(x) dx=(3Delta x )/10 [(f(x_(0))+5f(x_(1))+f(x_(2))+6f(x_(3))+f(x_(4))+5f(x_(5))+f(x_(6)))+(f(x_(6))+5f(x_(7))+f(x_(8))+6f(x_(9))+f(x_(10))+5f(x_(11))+f(x_(12)))+...]`


`int f(x) dx=(3Delta x )/10 [(f(x_(0))+5f(x_(1))+f(x_(2))+6f(x_(3))+f(x_(4))+5f(x_(5))+f(x_(6)))]`

`f(x_(0))=1`

`5f(x_(1))=5*0.5=2.5`

`f(x_(2))=0.3333`

`6f(x_(3))=6*0.25=1.5`

`f(x_(4))=0.2`

`5f(x_(5))=5*0.1667=0.8333`

`f(x_(6))=0.1429`

`int f(x) dx=(3xx1)/10*[(1+2.5+0.3333+1.5+0.20.8333+0.1429)]`

`=(3xx1)/10*(6.5095)`

`=1.9529`

Solution by Weddle's Rule is `1.9529`



Method-2:
Using Weddle's Rule
`int f(x) dx=(3Delta x )/10 [(f(x_(0))+5f(x_(1))+f(x_(2))+6f(x_(3))+f(x_(4))+5f(x_(5))+f(x_(6)))+(f(x_(6))+5f(x_(7))+f(x_(8))+6f(x_(9))+f(x_(10))+5f(x_(11))+f(x_(12)))+...]`


`int f(x) dx=(3Delta x )/10 [(f(x_(0))+5f(x_(1))+f(x_(2))+6f(x_(3))+f(x_(4))+5f(x_(5))+f(x_(6)))]`

`=(3xx1)/10 [(1 + 5xx0.5 + 0.3333 + 6xx0.25 + 0.2 + 5xx0.1667 + 0.1429)]`

`=(3xx1)/10 [6.5095]`

`=1.9529`

Solution by Weddle's Rule is `1.9529`
