iirc you need to know cylindrical and slicing methods for this

yup yup, but the 'formula's are so handwavy it hurts

Stop trying to be smart. KoA knows his shit better than you do.

Now now, no need to get all fired up

In the HSC, would they ask you to justify the differences in accuracy of a f(x) between Simpson's Rule and Trapezoidal Rule?

We don't deal with error in high school but Simpson's Rule is exact for cubics and quadratics...

And besides, Simpson's Rule has some disadvantages (for example functions which are approximately linear in a certain region.)

The closest they got you to justifying the difference in accuracy was in the 2013 HSC 2U paper.

Unlikely, but someone posted a Q based on that on some marathon I think last year (iirc glittergal96). But yeah, error analysis isn't part of the HSC, so the most they could expect from you would be a hand-wavy answer (which is what the poster of the marathon Q said to avoid last year).
