Question: ( 9 points ) Consider the integral I = 0 1 x a r c t a n ( x ) d x . (

(9 points) Consider the integral I=01xarctan(x)dx.
(a) Write explicitly an approximation for I using the right-hand sum with n-slices. You can use the sigma notation or the ... notation. If you use notation such as x or xk, be sure to explain exactly what it means.
(b) Find a number of slices for which your approximation in part (a) is smaller than 10-6. Hint: the error bound formula for the right-hand sum is |I-Rn|M(1)(b-a)22n, where M(1) is an upper bound for |f'(x)| on a,b.
(c) Find a power series representation for 01xarctan(x)dx. You can use the sigma notation or the ... notation. Hint: the derivative of arctan(x) is 11+x2.
(d) Use the result in part (c), how many (nonzero) terms does one need in order to estimate 01xarctan(x)dx with an error of magnitude less than 10-6? Explain your reasoning.
(e) Which method, (a) the right-hand sum or (c) the power series representation, do you prefer? There is no correct answer. We just want to know which method you'd like to use!
