Question

Using Simpson's rule the part of the curve $y=f\left(x\right)$ between $3$ successive ordinates is assumed as?

• A. straight line
• B. parabola
• C. cubic parabola
• D. arc of a circle

Answer 1

The correct option is B parabola

Given $y=f\left(x\right)$

$3$ succesive coordinates $=3$points are non collinear that is when we join three points it gives a curve example $ABC$ arenon collinear points

Hence the correct answer is $Parabola$
