/* Example 2 */ reworded a few sentences
<br />As the function given does not resemble a parabola, the answer we get is completely off of the real answer, which is:
: <math>\approx 7.94160...</math>
This is why we will sometimes split the interval of integration into multiple pieces. When we increase the number of subintervals, causing the approximation to approach approaches the actual value(see example below). When we do this, we use the '''Composite Simpson's Rule'''.
