Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The growth rate of a certain tree (in feet) is given by $y = \frac { 2 } { t + 1 } + e ^ { - t ^ { 2 } / 2 }$ , where $t$ is time in years. Estimate the total growth of the tree through the end of the second year by using Simpson's rule. Use 2 subintervals. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

A) 3.68 ft
B) 3.41 ft
C) 5.11 ft
