Use Simpson's rule to find the arclength of the curve LaTeX:  \displaystyle f(x)=\sin{\left(x \right)} on LaTeX:  \displaystyle (4,9) with LaTeX:  \displaystyle n=26 .

LaTeX:  \displaystyle \Delta x = \frac{ 9 - 4 }{ 26 } . LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_i = a +i\Delta x = 4 + i \frac{5}{26} Using the 1,4,2,...,2,4,1 pattern the sum can be written as LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_i can be written split into the even and odd terms. LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_k = 4 + (2k-1)\cdot \frac{5}{26} for LaTeX:  \displaystyle k=1 to LaTeX:  \displaystyle k =13 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_j = 4 + (2j)\cdot \frac{5}{26} for LaTeX:  \displaystyle j=1 to LaTeX:  \displaystyle j =12 . LaTeX:  \displaystyle f(4) +f(9)+4\sum_{k=1}^{13}f\left(\frac{5 k}{13} + \frac{99}{26}\right) + 2\sum_{j=1}^{12}f\left(\frac{5 j}{13} + 4\right) . The value is LaTeX:  \displaystyle 5.9021
