Scenario: The Land Surveyor's Challenge Background: In the kingdom of Geometrica, a new land has been discovered, and the king has summoned the best land surveyors to estimate the area of the fertile fields, which are crucial for the kingdom's expansion. The fields have uneven boundaries that follow a polynomial function, and the surveyors must use the Trapezium Rule to estimate the area. Objective: As a skilled surveyor, you are tasked with using the Trapezium Rule applet to approximate the area under the curve representing the new fields and determine the efficiency and accuracy of your approximation. Investigation Steps: 1. Setting Up the Applet: - Input the function that represents the boundaries of the fields. - Set the limits of integration to match the length of the fields. 2. Approximating the Area: - Use the applet to approximate the area under the curve with a specified number of trapeziums. - Record the estimated area provided by the applet. 3. Calculating True Area and Error: - Calculate the actual area under the curve using definite integration. - Determine the percentage error between your trapezium approximation and the actual area. 4. Reporting to the King: - Prepare a report for the king explaining your methodology and the accuracy of your land area estimate. Questions for Investigation: 1. Discovery Question: - How does increasing the number of trapeziums affect the accuracy of your area approximation? 2. Understanding the Trapezium Rule: - Why is the Trapezium Rule a useful method for approximating areas under curves? 3. Real-world Application: - Where else in real-world scenarios might the Trapezium Rule be applied? 4. Reflection: - Reflect on the importance of accurate area calculation in land surveying and urban planning.
