Q2
(a)
A miniature quadcopter flies in a curve line from one point to another. Suppose that
the path of the quadcopter from its initial hovering point to the final resting point is
described by:
y = 2.15 + 2.09x – 0.41x?,0 < x < 3.6
where x is the horizontal distance (in meters) from the point of release, and y is the
total distance (in meters) from the initial point.

hovering point to the moment it rests, by using trapezoidal rule and
appropriate Simpson's rule with h = 0.4 given that the are length of the
curve line is:
