2. Find Solution using Simpson's 3/8 rule
xf(x)
0.01.0000
0.10.9975
0.20.9900
0.30.9776
0.40.8604


Solution:
The value of table for `x` and `y`

x00.10.20.30.4
y10.99750.990.97760.8604

Method-1:
Using Simpson's `3/8` Rule

`int y dx=(3h)/8 [(y_0+y_4)+2(y_3)+3(y_1+y_2)]`

`int y dx=(3xx0.1)/8 [(1 +0.8604)+2xx(0.9776)+3xx(0.9975+0.99)]`

`int y dx=(3xx0.1)/8 [(1 +0.8604)+2xx(0.9776)+3xx(1.9875)]`

`int y dx=(3xx0.1)/8 [(1.8604)+(1.9552)+(5.9625)]`

`int y dx=0.3667`

Solution by Simpson's `3/8` Rule is `0.3667`



Method-2:
Using Simpson's `3/8` Rule

`int y dx=(3h)/8 [y_0+3y_1+3y_2+2y_3+y_4]`

`y_0=1`

`3y_1=3*0.9975=2.9925`

`3y_2=3*0.99=2.97`

`2y_3=2*0.9776=1.9552`

`y_4=0.8604`

`int y dx=(3xx0.1)/8 *(1+2.9925+2.97+1.9552+0.8604)`

`int y dx=(3xx0.1)/8 *(9.7781)`

`int y dx=0.3667`

Solution by Simpson's `3/8` Rule is `0.3667`
