# Math Help - Simpson Rule Question

1. ## Simpson Rule Question

Hi

Can someone tell me if this is correct:

Use Simpson's Rule with 10 subintervals to evaluate:
$\int_{0}^{1} \frac{x}{x+2}$

This is what i have done:

$\int_{0}^{1} \frac{x}{x+2} = \frac{1}{30}[\frac{4}{21} + \frac{2}{11} +\frac{3}{23}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{6}{13} +\frac{28}{27}+\frac{4}{7}+\frac{36}{29}+\frac{2}{ 3}]$

$\int_{0}^{1} \frac{x}{x+2} = 6.0054$

$\int_{0}^{1} \frac{x}{x+2} = 6.0054$
$
\int_0^1 \frac{x}{x+2} \, dx \approx \frac{1}{30}\left(0 + \frac{4}{21} + \frac{2}{11} + \frac{12}{23} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{5} + \frac{6}{13} + \frac{28}{27} + \frac{4}{7} + \frac{36}{29} + \frac{1}{3}\right) =$
