I thought the higher n, the more exact but i was wrong apparently, i tried with n=5 on this problem and got like 90 million but the actual answer is -653 because i have to choose n=3, i thought the higher n the better value but thats not the case, how do i pick n?

Like why do we have to choose n=3 in this problem

I just ran the quadrature for n=5 using python and it gives -652.9997793173131
