As per discussion with Brian via video-link, in Q2 we are allowed to pre-packaged integrators. SAGE uses QAG adaptive quadrature method for numerical integration. For more details see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUADPACK.
Initially I approached question 2.2 by assuming is zero (since and add up to 1). Calculation by this assumption is given bellow. Two known formulas for , are used. Answer given in unit .
Here I calculate , with as per resut in Q1.1 in previous assignment. Integral range is . Answer given in unit .
