Core 2 Mathematics Edexcel June 2013 Question 4

y = 5/(x2 + 1)

(a) Complete the table below, giving the missing value of y to 3 decimal places.

Figure 1 shows the region R which is bounded by the curve with equation y = 5/(x2 + 1) the x-axis and the lines x = 0 and x = 3

(b) Use the trapezium rule, with all the values of y from your table, to find an approximate value for the area of R.
