    \(x\)00.250.50.751
    \(y\)11.03081.251.4142
    Find the missing value of \(y\), giving your answer correct to 4 decimal places. Hence show that, using the trapezium rule with four strips, the shaded area is approximately 1.151 square units.
  2. Jenny uses a trapezium rule with 8 strips, and obtains a value of 1.158 square units. Explain why she must have made a mistake.
  3. The shaded area is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis. Find the exact volume of the solid of revolution formed.
