I need to approximate this function:



$$f(x)=left{beginmatrix
sqrt21.49-(x+1.28)^2 textif x<-3.17\
sqrt60.56-x^2 -2.87 textif -3.17leq xleq 3.17\
sqrt21.49-(x-1.28)^2 textif x>3.17
endmatrixright.$$



With a more simple one. I found out that:



$$g(x)=4.91left(1-frac4x^211.84^2right)^frac1n$$



Works really well for some value of $n$ . To optimize the value of this parameter I'm trying to minimize the middle error integral:



$$E=fracf(x)-g(x)11.84$$



With some little tricks(for example noticing that the two functions are even, and noticing that an ellipse approximates pretty well $f$ so $napprox 2$) and using Geogebra I managed to find:



$$n_optimalapprox 2.2 $$



But I can't go deeper with the precision because Geogebra is a limitated software. Can you help me with a more powerful software in finding a more precise value for $n_optimal$



[Important!: the extremes of integration are a bit approximated, the precise value should be $pm 5.915...$]



Thank you :)
