The Two-Point Gaussian Quadrature Approximation for f is

\(\int_{-1}^{1} f(x) d x \approx f\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+f\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\)

(a) Use this formula to approximate \(\int_{-1}^{1} \cos x d x\). Find the error of the approximation.

(b) Use this formula to approximate \(\int_{-1}^{1} \frac{1}{1+x^{2}} d x\).

(c) Prove that the Two-Point Gaussian Quadrature Approximation is exact for all polynomials of degree 3 or less.

Text Transcription:

int_-1^1 f(x) dx approx f(-1/sqrt 3)+f(1/sqrt 3)

int_-1^1 cos x dx

int_-1^1 1/1+x^2 dx
