Applications of Integrals: Arc Length: Example 3: Simpson's Rule Approximation

In this video I go over another example on determining the arc length of a curve and this time use Simpson's Rule to estimate the arc length of the curve xy = 1 from the points (1, 1) to (2, 1/2). This is a very interesting example in that it shows that the resulting integral when using the arc length formula sometimes is very difficult to evaluate because of the appearance of the square root. So instead of trying to solve for this integral explicitly, we instead estimate it using the Simpson's Rule with n = 10 subintervals and come up with a pretty accurate, up to 4 decimal places, estimation.
