The Cosine Fresnel Function is an integral function commonly used in optics and geometry. It is given by: C(x) = ∫x0 cos(t^2) dt This function has no elementary antiderivative (i.e. no alternative algebraic expression). Answer the following: (a) Consider the function h(x) defined by h(x) = e^(-x^2)C(x^3). Determine the derivative h'(x). (b) Estimate the area under the curve y = cos(x^2) on the interval [-1,1] by using 4 subintervals and Simpson's Rule. Round your answer to five decimals.

The sine-integral function, shown below, is one of the many functions in engineering whose formulas cannot be simplified. There is no elementary formula for the antiderivative of (sin t)/t. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Si(x) = ∫ sin t / t dt from 0 to x. Click the icon to view more information. a. Use the fact that |f^(4)| ≤ 1 on [0, π/2] to give an upper bound for the error that will occur if Si(π/2) = ∫ sin t / t dt from 0 to π/2 is estimated by Simpson's Rule with n = 4. (Round to five decimal places as needed.) b. Estimate Si(π/2) by Simpson's Rule with n = 4. (Round to five decimal places as needed.) c. Express the error bound you found in part (a) as a percentage of the value you found in part (b). (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
