Expert Solution
Step 1

The Newton-Cotes formula on the interval [a,b] is given as

bafxdx  b-a k=0nBkn fxkn

with nodes xkn =a+kh, k= 0,1,......n,

where n is a natural number, h=b-an, and the number of nodes is  N= n+1.

The coefficients are determined by the formula

Bkn = -1n-kk! n-k! n0ntt-1.....t-nt-kdt.
