How should I approach this question?

Hello,

I'm not looking for any solutions here but rather I’m having difficulty figuring out how I should properly approach this question…

Using a Gaussian Quadrature of order 5 to approximate

$\int_{2}^{6} \frac4{x-1} \;\mathrm{d}x $

  • Wouldn’t it be Sum 5 instead of Sum 6?

    No, there are 6 Gaussian Quadrature of order 5 and we should sum over all. The number of terms is always one more than the degree of the polynomial.
