Answer

$$0.0234375$$

Work Step by Step

Since \begin{align*} f(x)&=x^3\\ f'(x)&= 3x^2 \\ f''(x)&= 6x \end{align*} Then for $x\in [1,3] $, $|f''(x)|\leq 18$. Hence, $K=18$. Thus: \begin{align*} \left|M_{16}-\int_{1}^{3} x^{3} d x\right| &\leq \frac{K \cdot 2^{3}}{24 \cdot 16^{2}}\\ &=\frac{18}{768}\\ &\approx 0.0234375 \end{align*}
