5. (a) Sketch the graph of \(y = \sin 2 x , \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant \frac { 3 \pi } { 2 }\) Show the coordinates of the points where your graph crosses the \(x\)-axis. The table below gives corresponding values of \(x\) and \(y\), for \(y = \sin 2 x\).
The values of \(y\) are rounded to 3 decimal places where necessary.
\(x\)0\(\frac { \pi } { 12 }\)\(\frac { \pi } { 6 }\)\(\frac { \pi } { 4 }\)
\(y\)00.50.8661
(b) Use the trapezium rule with all the values of \(y\) from the table to find an approximate value for
