Not sure how to set up my deltax or even begin with this setting this problem up in general. Any help would be appreciated.
How would you set up this integral to where you can perform Simpson's rule?

0For starters, $\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}$. What are the given $a$, $b$, and $n$? – 2017-02-15

0@zipirovich a = 0 b = pi/2 and n = 10? The constant out front and theta(0) = 42 degrees is throwing me off – 2017-02-15

0$a$, $b$, and $n$ -- yes. As for what $\theta$ and $\theta_0$ mean... The problem starts with a reference to a figure that you didn't reproduce. I suspect the figure (and possibly some narrative earlier in the textbook) explain what they are. Without seeing the figure, I can't tell that. – 2017-02-15
