Trapezoidal Approximations
The Trapezoidal Rule
Example Using Trapezoidal Rule Use the Trapezoidal Rule with n = 4 to approximate the value of the integral. Use the concavity of the function to predict whether the approximation is an overestimate or an underestimate. Concave Down underestimate
Simpson’s Rule
Example Using Simpson’s Rule Use Simpson’s Rule with n = 4 to approximate the value of the integral. Find the integral’s exact answer to check your answer.
