I've done part a) but need help with part b) please
a) Use Simpson's Rule with five ordinates to find an approx value for the integral between 2 and 1 of
ln(3+2x²) dx.
The answer is 1.6607
how do I now do part b)
Use your answer to part (a) to deduce and approx value for the integral between 2 and 1 of
ln(1/3+2x²) dx.
Thanks a lot in advance

I assume by ln(1/3+2x²) you mean (ln(1/(3+2x²))
Think log laws,
ln(1 / (3+2x^2)) can be written as ln( (3+2x^2) ^-1 )
ln(a^b) = bln(a)
so it equals - ln(3+2x^2)
Which would equal -1.6607
(Using maple I got the answer to be 2.0109 and -2.0109)
