(a) Since a = 0, b = 1, and n = 10, the Midpoint Rule gives the following. (Round your answer to six decimal places.)
dx Ax[f(0.05) + f(0.15) + ... + f(0.85) + f(0.95)]

(b) Since f(x) = ex², we have f'(x)

and f'(x) =
Also, since 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 we have x² ≤
and so
Taking K = 6e, a = 0, b = 1, and n = 10 in the error estimate, we see that an upper bound for the error is as follows. (Round your final
