5.
$$y = \frac { 5 } { 3 x ^ { 2 } - 2 }$$
The table below gives values of \(y\) rounded to 3 decimal places where necessary.
| \(x\) | 2 | 2.25 | 2.5 | 2.75 | 3 |
| \(y\) | 0.5 | 0.379 | 0.299 | 0.242 | 0.2 |
Use the trapezium rule, with all the values of \(y\) from the table above, to find an approximate value for
$$\int _ { 2 } ^ { 3 } \frac { 5 } { 3 x ^ { 2 } - 2 } d x$$
