The interval $\left [ 0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right ]$ is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ units in width; the interval is divided evenly into five subintervals $\Delta x = \frac{\pi}{2} \div 5 = \frac{\pi}{10}$ units in width, with their midpoints shown:

$\left [ 0, \frac{\pi}{10}\right ]; x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{20}$

$\left [ \frac{\pi}{10},\frac{\pi}{5} \right ]; x_{2} = \frac{3 \pi}{20}$

$\left [ \frac{\pi}{5},\frac{3\pi}{10} \right ]; x_{3} =\frac{5 \pi}{20} = \frac{ \pi}{4}$

$\left [ \frac{3\pi}{10}, \frac{2 \pi}{5} \right ]; x_{4} =\frac{7 \pi}{20}$

$\left [ \frac{2 \pi}{5} , \frac{\pi}{2} \right ];x_{5} = \frac{9 \pi}{20}$

The midpoint rule requires us to calculate:

$M = \Delta x \left ( f (x_{1} )+ f (x_{2}) + f (x_{3}) + f (x_{4}) + f (x_{5}) \right )$

where $\Delta x = \frac{\pi}{10}$ and $f(x) = x^{2} \cos x$

Evaluate $f(x) = x^{2} \cos x$ for each of $x = x_ { 1 }, x_ { 2 }, x_ { 3 }, x_ { 4 }, x_ { 5 }$ :

$f\left \( \frac{\pi}{20} \right\) = \left \( \frac{\pi}{20} \right\)^{2} \cos \left \( \frac{\pi}{20} \right\)$

$\approx 0.1571^{2} \cdot \cos 0.1571 \approx 0.1571^{2} \cdot 0.9877 \approx 0.0244$

$f\left \( \frac{3\pi}{20} \right\) = \left \( \frac{3\pi}{20} \right\)^{2} \cos \left \( \frac{3\pi}{20} \right\)$

$\approx 0.4712 ^{2} \cdot \cos 0.4712 \approx 0.1571^{2} \cdot 0.8910 \approx 0.1979$

$f\left \( \frac{\pi}{4} \right\) = \left \( \frac{\pi}{4} \right\)^{2} \cos \left \( \frac{\pi}{4} \right\)$

$\approx 0.7854^{2} \cdot \cos 0.7854 \approx 0.7854^{2} \cdot 0.7071 \approx 0.4362$

$f\left \( \frac{7\pi}{20} \right\) = \left \( \frac{7\pi}{20} \right\)^{2} \cos \left \( \frac{7\pi}{20} \right\)$

$\approx 1.0996^{2} \cdot \cos 1.0996 \approx 1.0996^{2} \cdot 0.4540 \approx 0.5489$

$f\left \( \frac{9\pi}{20} \right\) = \left \( \frac{9\pi}{20} \right\)^{2} \cos \left \( \frac{9\pi}{20} \right\)$

$\approx 1.4137 ^{2} \cdot \cos1.4137 \approx 1.4137^{2} \cdot 0.1564 \approx 0.3126$

Since $\Delta x = \frac{\pi}{10} \approx 0.3142$ ,

we can approximate as

$M \approx 0.3142 \cdot \left ( 0.0244 + 0.1979 + 0.4362 + 0.5489 + 0.3126) \right ) \approx 0.478$ .

The interval $\left [ 1,2 \right ]$ is 1 unit in width; the interval is divided evenly into five subintervals $\Delta x = 1 \div 5 = 0.2$ units in width, with their midpoints shown:

$\left [ 1, 1.2 \right ]; $x_{1}$ = 1.1$

$\left [ 1.2, 1.4 \right ]; $x_{2}$ = 1.3$

$\left [1.4, 1.6 \right ]; $x_{3}$ =1.5$

$\left [ 1.6, 1.8 \right ]; $x_{4}$ = 1.7$

$\left [1.8, 2 \right $];x_{5}$ = 1.9$

The midpoint rule requires us to calculate:

$M = \Delta x \left ( f $(x_{1}$ )+ f $(x_{2}$) + f $(x_{3}$) + f $(x_{4}$) + f $(x_{5}$) \right )$

where $\Delta x = 0.2$ and $f(x) $=x^{2}$ \ln x$

Evaluate $f(x) $=x^{2}$ \ln x$ for each of $x = x_ { 1 }, x_ { 2 }, x_ { 3 }, x_ { 4 }, x_ { 5 }$ :

$f(1.1) = 1.1 ^{2} \cdot \ln 1.1 \approx 1.1 ^{2} \cdot 0.0953 \approx 0.1153$

$f(1.3) = $1.3^{2}$ \cdot \ln 1.3 \approx 1.3 ^{2} \cdot 0.2624 \approx 0.4434$

$f(1.5) = 1.5 ^{2} \cdot \ln 1.5 \approx 1.5 ^{2} \cdot 0.4055 \approx 0.9123$

$f(1.7) = 1.7 ^{2} \cdot \ln 1.7\approx 1.7 ^{2} \cdot 0.5306 \approx 1.5335$

$f(1.9) = 1.9 ^{2} \cdot \ln 1.9 \approx 1.9 ^{2} \cdot 0.6419 \approx 2.3171$

$M \approx 0.2 \cdot \left ( 0.1153 +0.4434 + 0.9123 + 1.5335 + 2.3171 \right ) \approx 1.064$

The interval $\left [ 1,5 \right ]$ is 4 units in width; the interval is divided evenly into four subintervals $\Delta x = 4\div 4 = 1$ units in width, with their midpoints shown:

$\left [ 1,2 \right ] : x _{1} = 1.5$

$\left [2,3 \right ]: x _{2} = 2.5$

$\left [3,4 \right ] : x _{3} = 3.5$

$\left [ 4,5 \right ] : x _{4} = 4.5$

The midpoint rule requires us to calculate:

$M = \Delta x \left [ f $(x_{1}$ )+ f $(x_{2}$) + f $(x_{3}$) + f $(x_{4}$) \right ]$

where $\Delta x = 1$ and $f(x) = $\frac{ \ln x $}{x^2$}$$

Evaluate $f(x) = $\frac{ \ln x $}{x^2$}$$ for each of $x = x_ { 1 }, x_ { 2 }, x_ { 3 }, x_ { 4 }$ :

$f(1.5) = $\frac{ \ln 1.5 $}{1.5^2$}$ \approx $\frac{0.4055}{2.25}$ \approx 0.1802$

$f(2.5) = $\frac{ \ln 2.5 $}{2.5^2$}$ \approx $\frac{0.9163}{6.25}$ \approx 0.1466$

$f(3.5) = $\frac{ \ln 3.5 $}{3.5^2$}$ \approx $\frac{1.2528}{12.25}$ \approx 0.1023$

$f(4.5) = $\frac{ \ln 4.5 $}{4.5^2$}$ \approx $\frac{1.5041}{20.25}$ \approx 0.0743$

So

$M =1 \left (0.1802 + 0.1466 +0.1023 + 0.0743 \right )$

The interval $\left [ 0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right ]$ is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ units in width; the interval is divided evenly into five subintervals $\Delta x = \frac{\pi}{2} \div 5 = \frac{\pi}{10}$ units in width, with their midpoints shown:

$\left [ 0, \frac{\pi}{10}\right ]; x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{20}$

$\left [ \frac{\pi}{10},\frac{\pi}{5} \right ]; x_{2} = \frac{3 \pi}{20}$

$\left [ \frac{\pi}{5},\frac{3\pi}{10} \right ]; x_{3} =\frac{5 \pi}{20} = \frac{ \pi}{4}$

$\left [ \frac{3\pi}{10}, \frac{2 \pi}{5} \right ]; x_{4} =\frac{7 \pi}{20}$

$\left [ \frac{2 \pi}{5} , \frac{\pi}{2} \right ];x_{5} = \frac{9 \pi}{20}$

The midpoint rule requires us to calculate:

$M = \Delta x \left ( f (x_{1} )+ f (x_{2}) + f (x_{3}) + f (x_{4}) + f (x_{5}) \right )$

where $\Delta x = \frac{\pi}{10}$ and $f(x) = x^{2} \cos x$

Evaluate $f(x) = x^{2} \cos x$ for each of $x = x_ { 1 }, x_ { 2 }, x_ { 3 }, x_ { 4 }, x_ { 5 }$ :

$f\left \( \frac{\pi}{20} \right\) = \left \( \frac{\pi}{20} \right\)^{2} \cos \left \( \frac{\pi}{20} \right\)$

$\approx 0.1571^{2} \cdot \cos 0.1571 \approx 0.1571^{2} \cdot 0.9877 \approx 0.0244$

$f\left \( \frac{3\pi}{20} \right\) = \left \( \frac{3\pi}{20} \right\)^{2} \cos \left \( \frac{3\pi}{20} \right\)$

$\approx 0.4712 ^{2} \cdot \cos 0.4712 \approx 0.1571^{2} \cdot 0.8910 \approx 0.1979$

$f\left \( \frac{\pi}{4} \right\) = \left \( \frac{\pi}{4} \right\)^{2} \cos \left \( \frac{\pi}{4} \right\)$

$\approx 0.7854^{2} \cdot \cos 0.7854 \approx 0.7854^{2} \cdot 0.7071 \approx 0.4362$

$f\left \( \frac{7\pi}{20} \right\) = \left \( \frac{7\pi}{20} \right\)^{2} \cos \left \( \frac{7\pi}{20} \right\)$

$\approx 1.0996^{2} \cdot \cos 1.0996 \approx 1.0996^{2} \cdot 0.4540 \approx 0.5489$

$f\left \( \frac{9\pi}{20} \right\) = \left \( \frac{9\pi}{20} \right\)^{2} \cos \left \( \frac{9\pi}{20} \right\)$

$\approx 1.4137 ^{2} \cdot \cos1.4137 \approx 1.4137^{2} \cdot 0.1564 \approx 0.3126$

Since $\Delta x = \frac{\pi}{10} \approx 0.3142$ ,

we can approximate as

$M \approx 0.3142 \cdot \left ( 0.0244 + 0.1979 + 0.4362 + 0.5489 + 0.3126) \right ) \approx 0.478$ .

The interval $\left [ 1,2 \right ]$ is 1 unit in width; the interval is divided evenly into five subintervals $\Delta x = 1 \div 5 = 0.2$ units in width, with their midpoints shown:

$\left [ 1, 1.2 \right ]; $x_{1}$ = 1.1$

$\left [ 1.2, 1.4 \right ]; $x_{2}$ = 1.3$

$\left [1.4, 1.6 \right ]; $x_{3}$ =1.5$

$\left [ 1.6, 1.8 \right ]; $x_{4}$ = 1.7$

$\left [1.8, 2 \right $];x_{5}$ = 1.9$

The midpoint rule requires us to calculate:

$M = \Delta x \left ( f $(x_{1}$ )+ f $(x_{2}$) + f $(x_{3}$) + f $(x_{4}$) + f $(x_{5}$) \right )$

where $\Delta x = 0.2$ and $f(x) $=x^{2}$ \ln x$

Evaluate $f(x) $=x^{2}$ \ln x$ for each of $x = x_ { 1 }, x_ { 2 }, x_ { 3 }, x_ { 4 }, x_ { 5 }$ :

$f(1.1) = 1.1 ^{2} \cdot \ln 1.1 \approx 1.1 ^{2} \cdot 0.0953 \approx 0.1153$

$f(1.3) = $1.3^{2}$ \cdot \ln 1.3 \approx 1.3 ^{2} \cdot 0.2624 \approx 0.4434$

$f(1.5) = 1.5 ^{2} \cdot \ln 1.5 \approx 1.5 ^{2} \cdot 0.4055 \approx 0.9123$

$f(1.7) = 1.7 ^{2} \cdot \ln 1.7\approx 1.7 ^{2} \cdot 0.5306 \approx 1.5335$

$f(1.9) = 1.9 ^{2} \cdot \ln 1.9 \approx 1.9 ^{2} \cdot 0.6419 \approx 2.3171$

$M \approx 0.2 \cdot \left ( 0.1153 +0.4434 + 0.9123 + 1.5335 + 2.3171 \right ) \approx 1.064$

The interval $\left [ 1,5 \right ]$ is 4 units in width; the interval is divided evenly into four subintervals $\Delta x = 4\div 4 = 1$ units in width, with their midpoints shown:

$\left [ 1,2 \right ] : x _{1} = 1.5$

$\left [2,3 \right ]: x _{2} = 2.5$

$\left [3,4 \right ] : x _{3} = 3.5$

$\left [ 4,5 \right ] : x _{4} = 4.5$

The midpoint rule requires us to calculate:

$M = \Delta x \left [ f $(x_{1}$ )+ f $(x_{2}$) + f $(x_{3}$) + f $(x_{4}$) \right ]$

where $\Delta x = 1$ and $f(x) = $\frac{ \ln x $}{x^2$}$$

Evaluate $f(x) = $\frac{ \ln x $}{x^2$}$$ for each of $x = x_ { 1 }, x_ { 2 }, x_ { 3 }, x_ { 4 }$ :

$f(1.5) = $\frac{ \ln 1.5 $}{1.5^2$}$ \approx $\frac{0.4055}{2.25}$ \approx 0.1802$

$f(2.5) = $\frac{ \ln 2.5 $}{2.5^2$}$ \approx $\frac{0.9163}{6.25}$ \approx 0.1466$

$f(3.5) = $\frac{ \ln 3.5 $}{3.5^2$}$ \approx $\frac{1.2528}{12.25}$ \approx 0.1023$

$f(4.5) = $\frac{ \ln 4.5 $}{4.5^2$}$ \approx $\frac{1.5041}{20.25}$ \approx 0.0743$

So

$M =1 \left (0.1802 + 0.1466 +0.1023 + 0.0743 \right )$
