You can't. Simpson's Rule can only be used when N is even. This is because the formula is derived by summing the area under parabolas using three points, or two subintervals.

It is a way to approximate a definite integral using trapezoids.
Sometimes a function can't be integrated by regular methods, or just an estimate for the integral is needed. It's silly to use Simpson's Rule for a function such as cos(x) that has an elementary antiderivative, but something like e^(-x^2) doesn't. So, you can approximate the definite integral using Simpson's Rule.
Integral of x3/2dx using power rule = (5/2)x5/2 2.5 times the square root of x to the fith.
Yes.
