5. (a) (10 points) Assume that f (0) = 4. Use the Midpoint Rule with n = 5 to approxi-
mate the value of f (10) where f 0 (x) takes the following values:

x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
f 0 (x) 2 4 3 3 7 6 4 1 5 6 3

Solution:

(b) (15 points) Assuming that |f (3) (x)|  1, for all 0  x  10, how large an n would
you need to choose to guarantee that the above estimate is within 0.001 of the true
value f (10)? You do not need to give an exact value, just a rough bound.
Solution:
