Solve integrals with Matlab

Hey guys i am working on a calculus problem and it requires me to use analytical solution, trapezoidal numerical integration, simpson's rule, lobatto quadrature and global adaptive quadrature. I keep getting errors and i have no idea what i am doing incorrect. Could someone help me write the code for this? Thanks.

Problem: f(x)= integral sign(5+1/sqrt(1-x^2)). Upper bound of integral sign is 1/2 and lower bound of integral sign is 0.

% Integrating using different commands
x=0:0.1:1/2;
y=(5+1/sqrt(1-x^2));
format long
% Analytical Solution
A0=(5+1/sqrt(1-x^2))
% Trapezoidal Numerical Integration
A1= trapz(x,y)
% Simpson's Rule
A2= quad('sqrt(1-x^2'x(1),x(end))
% Lobatto Quadrature
A3=quadl('sqrt(1-x^2'x(1),x(end))
% Global Adaptive Quadrature
A4=integral(intfun,x(1),x(end))

Do you have the symbolic toolbox?

If so, start with the int command. You can do both indefinite and definite integration.

syms x real
f = 5 + 1.0./sqrt(1-x^2)  % dot-divide not strictly needed here
Q = int(f,x) % indefinite
Q = int(f,x,0,1/2)

Now that we have an anlytical answer, , we can validate numerical schemes.

First we should make a vectorised anonymous function of the integrand,

f = @(x) 5 + 1.0./sqrt(1-x.^2) 

Matlab has pre-canned routines for the final two integration schemes:

A3 =quadl(f,0,0.5)
A4=integral(f,0,0.5) % Global Adaptive Quadrature

For the (composite) trapz and Simpson's you need to decide on a step size (as you did above).

h = 0.1; % step size (guess) 
x=0:h:1/2; 
A1= trapz(x, f(x))

A quick hack of the Simpson's rule is

n = 10; % must be even
a = 0; b = 0.5; % integration limits 
x = linspace(a,b,n+1)';
c = [1,repmat([4 2],1,n/2-1),4,1];
A2 = (b-a)*c*f(x)/n/3; % 

It might be prudent to check all numerical values with the analytical one, especially the Simpson's implementation above.
