Math Problem Statement

Provide a number line

Evaluate the integral ∫(e^x) / (1 + x^2) dx from 0 to 2, with n = 10.

Solution

The integral given in the image is:

I=02ex1+x2dx,n=10I = \int_0^2 \frac{e^x}{1 + x^2} \, dx, \quad n = 10

It seems like you are asking for a numerical approximation of this definite integral, possibly using numerical methods (such as trapezoidal rule or Simpson's rule) since n=10n = 10 might represent the number of subintervals.

Let's calculate the integral numerically with n=10n = 10 subintervals. I will compute the result for you.The numerical approximation of the integral

I=02ex1+x2dxI = \int_0^2 \frac{e^x}{1 + x^2} \, dx

is approximately 2.6632.663, with a very small error margin of 3.02×10103.02 \times 10^{-10}.

Would you like more details or clarification on any step?

Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. How would this integral change if the limits were from 0 to infinity?
  2. What method can be used if n=10n = 10 refers to using a midpoint or trapezoidal rule?
  3. How does exe^x affect the behavior of the integral as xx increases?
  4. What happens if we replace 1+x21 + x^2 in the denominator with another polynomial?
  5. How can we estimate the error when using different numerical integration methods?

Tip: In numerical integration, choosing an appropriate method (like Simpson’s rule or trapezoidal rule) depends on the function’s smoothness over the interval.
