  1. Use the trapezium rule, with 2 strips each of width 4 , to show that an approximate value of \(\int _ { 1 } ^ { 9 } 4 \sqrt { x } \mathrm {~d} x\) is \(32 + 16 \sqrt { 5 }\).
  2. Use a sketch graph to explain why the actual value of \(\int _ { 1 } ^ { 9 } 4 \sqrt { x } \mathrm {~d} x\) is greater than \(32 + 16 \sqrt { 5 }\).
  3. Use integration to find the exact value of \(\int _ { 1 } ^ { 9 } 4 \sqrt { x } \mathrm {~d} x\).
