\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\)
The table below shows corresponding values of \(x\) and \(y\) for this curve between \(x = 0.5\) and \(x = 0.9\) The values of \(y\) are given to 4 significant figures.
\(x\)0.50.60.70.80.9
\(y\)1.6321.7111.7861.8591.930
  1. Use the trapezium rule, with all the values of \(y\) in the table, to find an estimate for $$\int _ { 0.5 } ^ { 0.9 } \mathrm { f } ( x ) \mathrm { d } x$$ Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
  2. Using your answer to part (a), deduce an estimate for $$\int _ { 0.5 } ^ { 0.9 } ( 3 \mathrm { f } ( x ) + 2 ) \mathrm { d } x$$
