3. Trapezoidal Rule
ο± In Numerical analysis, the Trapezoidal rule is a technique for
approximating the definite integral.
ο± In general, trapezoidal rule is less accurate when compared with
Simpson's rules.
4. ο΄ From the General formula, we can obtain different integration formulae by
putting different values of i.e.
ο΄ Put in general formula and neglecting second and higher differences,
5. Similarly, for the next interval
And so on for the last interval
Combining all these three Equations (1), (2) & (3)
6. ο΄ This Final Equation obtained is known as Trapezoidal rule.
8. ο΄ Divide into six equal parts, then the values of for
each points of subdivision are :
