Provide an appropriate response.Explain why Simpson's Rule gives an exact value for the integral .

What will be an ideal response?


The error for Simpson's Rule satisfies  ?  , where M is an upper bound on the fourth derivative of f(x) on the interval [a, b]. 
Since f(x) is a cubic function in this case, f(4) (x) = 0 for all x. So  ? 0, or   = 0. Therefore, Simpson's Rule gives the integral's exact value.
