Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Consider a graph that looks like a particular staircase, the approximation found using right endpoints will be exactly equal to that of the integral.
The Simpson's rule uses parabolas instead of straight lines for approximation; this makes our graph even more suitable.
The graph of a continuous function on is shown below,
