Romberg O(h4) 793.14 796.86

Romberg O(h6) 792.89

The distance travelled in 12 minutes is: 793.14 cm using Simpson’s 1/3 rule, 793.46 cm using
3/8 rule, and 792.89 cm using Romberg integration with three trapezoidal estimates (809.57
using h=1, 858.85 using h=2, 1044.82 using h=4). Note that the Romberg, O(h4), with h=1 and
2, is same as Simpson’s 1/3. Also note that 1/3 rule is more accurate than 3/8 (assuming
Romberg to be the best estimate).
