Trapezoidal Rule Approximates the area under a curve using trapezoids instead of rectangles. where and both are y-values. When using trapezoidal rule to find the area, you’ll use each endpoint once and each multiple of twice.
Approximate using the trapezoidal rule and n = 4. Actual area:
Estimate if n = 3 using the left, right, midpoint and trapezoidal sums. Left Sum: Right Sum: Midpoint Sum: Trapezoidal Sum:
