Question:

Observe that the Error Bound for TN (which has 12 in the denominator) is twice as large as the Error Bound for MN (which has 24 in the denominator). Compute the actual error in Tfor ∫πsin x dx for N = 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 and compare it with the calculations of Exercise 56. Does the actual error in TN seem to be roughly twice as large as the error in MN in this case?


Data From Exercise 56

The Error Bound for MN is proportional to 1/N2, so the Error Bound decreases by 1/4 if N is increased to 2N. Compute the actual error in MN for ∫πsin x dx for N = 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64. Does the actual error seem to decrease by 1/4 as N is doubled?
