  1. The table below shows corresponding values of \(x\) and \(y\) for
$$y = 2 ^ { 5 - \sqrt { x } }$$ The values of \(y\) are given to 3 decimal places.
\(x\)55.566.57
\(y\)6.7926.2985.8585.4665.113
Using the trapezium rule with all the values of \(y\) in the given table,
  1. obtain an estimate for $$\int _ { 5 } ^ { 7 } 2 ^ { 5 - \sqrt { x } } \mathrm {~d} x$$ giving your answer to 2 decimal places.
  2. Using your answer to part (a) and making your method clear, estimate
    1. \(\quad \int _ { 5 } ^ { 7 } 2 ^ { 6 - \sqrt { x } } \mathrm {~d} x\)
    2. \(\int _ { 5 } ^ { 7 } \left( 3 + 2 ^ { 5 - \sqrt { x } } \right) \mathrm { d } x\)
