6.4 q5.) use simpson's rule to approximate

For f(x) = 12/(1+x²), and subinterval width 4, you are to evaluate f(1), f(5), and f(9) and combine them according to the rule

... Integral ≈ (4/3)(f(1) + 4·f(5) + f(9)) = (4/3)(6.0000 + 4·0.4615 + 0.1463) ≈ 10.66

_____

Simpson's rule has you combine values of f(x) with coefficients 1, 4, 2, 4, ..., 2, 4, 1, where those values are evenly spaced at the edges of an even number of subintervals. Since we have only 3 values to combine, there are no terms that have a coefficient of 2. The entire sum is multiplied by 1/3 the subinterval width.

i think is 3 and 6. this took me 10 min to think.hope to and hope that my answer is brainliest.(follow me )

1/4 because there is 4 grades.
