4.6 Numerical Integration Trapezoidal Rule Area of a Trapezoid b2 h b1 b b2 h
2
We are going to sum up n trapezoids from a to b. Let’s let n = 4 (4 trapezoids) Now we need to find the sums of the area of these four trapezoids. a h b x x1 x x x4 simplified to

The bigger n you use, the more accurate your answer
will be.
