\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation \(y = \sqrt { } \left( x ^ { 2 } + 1 \right) , x \geqslant 0\) The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the lines \(x = 1\) and \(x = 2\) The table below shows corresponding values for \(x\) and \(y\) for \(y = \sqrt { } \left( x ^ { 2 } + 1 \right)\).
\(x\)11.251.51.752
\(y\)1.4141.8032.0162.236
  1. Complete the table above, giving the missing value of \(y\) to 3 decimal places.
  2. Use the trapezium rule, with all the values of \(y\) in the completed table, to find an approximate value for the area of \(R\), giving your answer to 2 decimal places.
