  1. The table below shows corresponding values of \(x\) and \(y\) for \(y = \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { ( x + 1 ) } }\), with the values
    for \(y\) rounded to 3 decimal places where necessary.
\(x\)03691215
\(y\)10.50.3780.3160.277
  1. Complete the table by giving the value of \(y\) corresponding to \(x = 15\)
  2. Use the trapezium rule with all the values of \(y\) from the completed table to find an approximate value for $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { 15 } \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { ( x + 1 ) } } \mathrm { d } x$$ giving your answer to 2 decimal places.
