### Problem Statement:

**How large should \( n \) be to guarantee that the Trapezoidal Rule approximation to**
\[
\int_{-4}^{-1} \left( -x^4 - 10x^3 - 24x^2 - 4x + 4 \right) dx
\]
**is accurate to within 0.1.**

\( n = \) [ Text Box ]

---

**How large should \( n \) be to guarantee that the Simpson's Rule approximation to**
\[
\int_{-4}^{-1} \left( -x^4 - 10x^3 - 24x^2 - 4x + 4 \right) dx
\]
**is accurate to within 0.1.**

\( n = \) [ Text Box ]

---

**Hint:** Remember your answers should be whole numbers, and Simpson's Rule requires even values for \( n \).

---

In this problem, students are asked to determine the number of subintervals \( n \) needed to achieve a specified accuracy when approximating a definite integral using the Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson's Rule. The integral represents a polynomial function that is to be integrated over the interval from \(-4\) to \(-1\). The accuracy criterion specified is 0.1.

For better understanding:
- **Trapezoidal Rule** uses trapezoids to approximate the area under the curve, which requires considering the error bound formula for the Trapezoidal Rule to ensure the accuracy.
- **Simpson's Rule** leverages parabolic segments to approximate the area under the curve. This rule typically offers better accuracy for a given \( n \) compared to the Trapezoidal Rule but also requires \( n \) to be even.

This exercise necessitates understanding the application of numerical methods for integration, specifically focusing on error estimation techniques.

*Note:* To insert numerical solutions into the text boxes, students will need to apply error bounds for each method and solve for \( n \).
