When Is Simpson's Rule Exact?
(a) Show that if
 is a polynomial of degree 3 or lower, then Simpson's Rule gives the exact value of \(\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x\).
(b) Find the approximation
 for \(\int_{0}^{8}\left(x^{3}-6 x^{2}+4 x\right) d x\) and verify that  is the exact value of the integral.
(c) Use the error bound given in (4) to explain why the statement in part (a) must be true.
