Step 1
The absolute error is the absolute difference between the true value and the approximation. (a) Absolute error for 3: |7 - 3| = 4 (b) Absolute error for 3.14: |7 - 3.14| = 3.86 (c) Absolute error for 22/7: |7 - 22/7| = |7 - 3.142857| = 0.142857 Now, we need to Show more…

$27-28$ Find the approximations $T_{n}, M_{n},$ and $S_{n}$ for $n=6$ and $12 .$ Then compute the corresponding errors $E_{T}, E_{M}$ and $E_{s}$ . (Round your answers to six decimal places. You may wish to use the sum command on a computer algebra system.) What observations can you make? In particular, what happens to the errors when $n$ is doubled? $$ \int_{0}^{2} x^{4} d x $$
