In Exercise , we estimated the total U.S. wind energy consumption (in trillion BTUs) for the 12-year period from 2001 to 2019 using rectangles and the following data.Year 2001 2004 2007 2010 2013 2016 2019 Consumption 70 142 341

(a) Approximate the total wind energy consumption using the trapezoidal rule.
(b) Approximate the total wind energy consumption using Simpson’s rule.

Year 2001 2004 2007 2010 2013 2016 2019 Consumption 70 142 341 923 1595 2096 2736
