Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the given integral and find the error \( \left|E_{M}\right| \) using the Midpoint Rule, we need to follow these steps:
Evaluate the integral directly to get the exact value.
Use the Midpoint Rule to approximate the integral.
Calculate the absolute error \( \left|E_{M}\right| \) by taking the absolute difference between the exact value and the Midpoint Rule approximation.
