Numerical Integration Lesson 6.5

2 News from Space A new species has been trapped … the rare zoid Math students have long known of efforts of "trapezoid" expeditions Trapezoids were so effective, zoids were thought to be extinct!

3 Trapezoidal Rule Instead of calculating approximation rectangles we will use trapezoids More accuracy Area of a trapezoid a b b1b1 b2b2 h Which dimension is the h? Which is the b 1 and the b 2 Which dimension is the h? Which is the b 1 and the b 2

4 Trapezoidal Rule Trapezoidal rule approximates the integral Calculator function for f(x) ( (2*f(a+k*(b-a)/n),k,1,n-1)+f(a)+f(b))*(b-a)/(n*2) trap(a,b,n) dx f(x i ) f(x i-1 )
5
5 Trapezoidal Rule Entering the trapezoidal rule into the calculator f(x) must be defined for this to work
6
6 Trapezoidal Rule Try using the trapezoidal rule Check with integration
7
7 Simpson's Rule As before, we divide the interval into n parts n must be even Instead of straight lines we draw parabolas through each group of three consecutive points This approximates the original curve for finding definite integral – formula shown below Snidly Fizbane Simpson a b
8
8 Simpson's Rule Our calculator can do this for us also The function is more than a one liner We will use the program editor Choose APPS, 7:Program Editor 3:New Specify Function, name it simp
9
9 Simpson's Rule Enter the parameters a, b, and n between the parentheses Enter commands shown between Func and endFunc Local variables discarded when function finishes Initialize dx Initialize total with the two end values One for loop for the 4* values, one for the 2* values Return the value
10
10 Simpson's Rule Specify a function for f(x) When you call simp(a,b,n), Make sure n is an even number Note the accuracy of the approximation
