What will be the output of this code snippet?
from scipy import integrate
result = integrate.simps([0, 1, 4, 9], dx=1)
print(result)
A8.0
B6.0
C10.0
D14.0
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand the function used

    The function integrate.simps performs numerical integration using Simpson's rule.
  2. Step 2: Apply Simpson's rule to the data points

    Given y = [0, 1, 4, 9] and dx=1, Simpson's rule approximates the integral over these points.
  3. Step 3: Calculate the integral

    Using Simpson's rule formula, the integral value is 14.0.
  4. Final Answer:

    14.0 -> Option D
  5. Quick Check:

    Check the function and data points used. [OK]
Quick Trick: Simpson's rule integrates discrete data points accurately [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing simps with trapz integration method
  • Misinterpreting dx parameter as number of intervals
  • Assuming integrate.simps returns a tuple instead of a float
