The uncertainty indicates that the displayed digits of the approximation might not include any digits that could be considered accurate. Actually, this approximation is more accurate than its uncertainty indicates.

The actual value of this integral, correct to five significant digits, is 7.7805×10-3. Therefore, the error in this approximation is about (7.7858 − 7.7805)×10-3= 5.3×10-6.This error is considerably less than the uncertainty, 1.45×10-3The uncertainty is only an upper bound on the error in the approximation; the actual error will generally be smaller.

Now calculate the integral in i 3 and compare the accuracy of the resulting approximation to that of the i2 approximation.
