Question
Consider the function f(x)=11+x2, x∈R.
Illustrate graphically the inequality, 155∑r=1f(r5)<∫10f(x)dx<154∑r=0f(r5).
Use the inequality in part (a) to find a lower and upper bound for π.
Show that n−1∑r=0(−1)rx2r=1+(−1)n−1x2n1+x2.
Hence show that π=4(n−1∑r=0(−1)r2r+1−(−1)n−1∫10x2n1+x2dx).

A1 for upper rectangles, A1 for lower rectangles, A1 for curve in between with 0≤x≤1
hence 155∑r=1f(r5)<∫10f(x)dx<154∑r=0f(r5) AG

attempting to integrate from 0 to 1 (M1)
∫10f(x)dx=[arctanx]10
=π4 A1
attempt to evaluate either summation (M1)
155∑r=1f(r5)<π4<154∑r=0f(r5)
hence 455∑r=1f(r5)<π<454∑r=0f(r5)
so 2.93<π<3.33 A1A1
Note: Accept any answers that round to 2.9 and 3.3.

EITHER
recognise n−1∑r=0(−1)rx2r as a geometric series with r=−x2 M1
sum of n terms is 1−(−x2)n1−−x2=1+(−1)n−1x2n1+x2 M1AG
OR
n−1∑r=0(−1)r(1+x2)x2r=(1+x2)x0−(1+x2)x2+(1+x2)x4+…
+(−1)n−1(1+x2)x2n−2 M1
cancelling out middle terms M1
=1+(−1)n−1x2n AG

n−1∑r=0(−1)rx2r=11+x2+(−1)n−1x2n1+x2
integrating from 0 to 1 M1
[n−1∑r=0(−1)rx2r+12r+1]10=∫10f(x)dx+(−1)n−1∫10x2n1+x2dx A1A1
∫10f(x)dx=π4 A1
so π=4(n−1∑r=0(−1)r2r+1−(−1)n−1∫10x2n1+x2dx) AG
