Error of Simpson's Rule

138 Views Asked by At

How do I show that $$\int_a^bf(x)dx - I_1 = - \frac{h^5}{90}f^{(4)} (\xi)$$ with $\xi \in [a,b]$ and $$I_1 := \frac{h}{3}(f(a) + 4f\left( \frac{a+b}{2}\right) + f(b))$$ and $h= \frac{b-a}{2}$. I was thinking about about the mean value theorem somewhere, but I am not sure how to apply it to get to the result.
