Use Simpson's Rule to approximate an integral

[beanryu]

Use Simpson's Rule and all the data in the following table to estimate the value of the integral

2
S ydx
-4

S=integral sign

x -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2
y 0 -4 -8 -9 1 5 -7

 

[beanryu]

the function provided doesn't even fit with the data in the table

wut the hell is this?!

Try reading the problem again. "The function provided doesn't even fit with the data in the table" isn't true- they don't give you a function except through the data.
You are asked to use Simpson's rule to integrate
$$\int_{-4}^2 f(x)dx$$
where f(x) is given by the table. I just substituted "f(x)" for "y" because I think you were mistaking it for "x".
