I don't understand well your question. Why are there only 3 terms within $p_3(x)$ and not 4? Also, the rest of the question doesn't make much sense to me. You need to explain this better. 0.5 point bonus for the effort. Make sure to use the PREVIEW button and check if the question looks as intended. Also, use \$\$ and not \$ for long math expressions.

Good question. We need to find $b_N$ because $a_{N-1}$ and $c_{N-1}$ depend on $b_N$. So, we only need to find $N-1$ intervals, but we need to find $N$ bs. 2 points bonus.

Hm, I'm not sure what confuses you. Answers to your questions were given in class.

There's little work involved when moving numbers around in memory compared with additions or multiplications. Hence why it's not counted. 1 point bonus.

You can find the exact value by using a very large $N$. So, just double $N$ until the value of the integral doesn't change significantly anymore and use this as the exact value. 2 points bonus.
