The region bounded by the curves y = 2e−1/x, y = 0, x = 1, and x = 5 is rotated about the x-axis. Use Simpson's Rule with n = 8 to estimate the volume of the resulting solid. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
