2. $$y = \frac { 2 ^ { x } } { \sqrt { \left( 5 x ^ { 2 } + 3 \right) } }$$
  1. Complete the table below,giving the values of \(y\) to 3 decimal places.
    \(x\)- 0.2500.250.50.75
    \(y\)0.4620.6530.698
  2. Use the trapezium rule,with all the values of \(y\) from the completed table,to find an approximate value for
    . $$\int _ { - 0.25 } ^ { 0.75 } \frac { 2 ^ { x } } { \sqrt { \left( 5 x ^ { 2 } + 3 \right) } } \mathrm { d } x$$
