In Exercise discussed earlier, we estimated the total wind energy consumption (in trillion BTUs) for the 12-year period from 2001 to 2013 using rectangles and the following data.
(a) Approximate the total wind energy consumption using the trapezoidal rule.
(b) Approximate the total wind energy consumption using Simpson's rule.
A. Trapezoidal rule: ≈6750 trillion BTUs, Simpson's rule: ≈6810 trillion BTUs
B. Trapezoidal rule: ≈6810 trillion BTUs, Simpson's rule: ≈6750 trillion BTUs
C. Trapezoidal rule: ≈7210 trillion BTUs, Simpson's rule: ≈6850 trillion BTUs
D. Trapezoidal rule: ≈6850 trillion BTUs, Simpson's rule: ≈7210 trillion BTUs
