Question: Calculate M 10 and S 10 for the integral 1 0 1 x 2 dx, whose value we know to be /4 (one-quarter

Calculate M10 and S10 for the integral ∫10 √1 − x2 dx, whose value we know to be π/4 (one-quarter of the area of the unit circle).

(a) We usually expect Sto be more accurate than MN. Which of M10 and S10 is more accurate in this case?
(b) How do you explain the result of part (a)? The Error Bounds are not valid because |ƒ"(x)| and |ƒ(4)(x)| tend to ∞ as x → 1, but |ƒ(4)(x)| goes to infinity more quickly.
