Question

A draftsman is asked to determine the amount of material required to produce a machine part. The diameters d of the part at equally spaced points x are listed in the table. The measurements are listed in centimeters.

x 0 1 2 3 4 5
d 4.2 3.8 4.2 4.7 5.2 5.7
x 6 7 8 9 10
d 5.8 5.4 4.9 4.4 4.6

Use these data with Simpson's Rule to approximate the volume of the part.

We know that the Simpson's Rule for area looks like:

abf(x) dxΔx3(f(x0)+4f(x1)+2f(x2)++4f(xn1)+f(xn))\int_a^b f(x) \ dx \approx \dfrac{\Delta x}{3} \left( f(x_0) + 4 f(x_1) + 2 f(x_2) + \ldots + 4 f(x_{n-1}) + f(x_n) \right)

Since the volume of a rotate region is calculated by V=πab[f(x)]2 dxV = \displaystyle \pi \int_a^b [f(x)]^2 \ dx, Simpson's Rule for volume looks like:

πab[f(x)]2 dxΔxπ3(f(x0)2+4f(x1)2+2f(x2)2++4f(xn1)2+f(xn)2)\pi \int_a^b [f(x)]^2 \ dx \approx \dfrac{\Delta x \cdot \pi}{3} \left( f(x_0)^2 + 4 f(x_1)^2 + 2 f(x_2)^2 + \ldots + 4 f(x_{n-1})^2 + f(x_n)^2 \right)
