Find the approximated integral value of an equation 1/(x+1) using Weddle's rule
a = 0 and b = 6
Step value (h) = 1Solution:Equation is `f(x)=(1)/(x+1)`
`a=0`
`b=6`
The value of table for `x` and `f(x)`
| `x` | `f(x)` |
| `x_0=0` | `f(x_(0))=f(0)=1` |
| `x_1=1` | `f(x_(1))=f(1)=0.5` |
| `x_2=2` | `f(x_(2))=f(2)=0.3333` |
| `x_3=3` | `f(x_(3))=f(3)=0.25` |
| `x_4=4` | `f(x_(4))=f(4)=0.2` |
| `x_5=5` | `f(x_(5))=f(5)=0.1667` |
| `x_6=6` | `f(x_(6))=f(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`
