  1. The value A=int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx represents the area under the graph of y=f(x) between x=a and x=b. Derive the Trapizium rule with 6 ordinates to find an approximation of A=int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx.
  2. Using the trapezium rule obtained in (a), approximate A=int_{1}^{7}frac{x^{3}}{1+x^{4}}dx. correct to three decimal places.
  3. Evaluate the actual integgral of A=int_{1}^{7}frac{x^{3}}{1+x^{4}}dx.and then calculate the relative error in the approximation obtained in (b). (Give your answers correct to three decimal places).
