Jinsi ya kukokotoa Trapezoidal Rule
Trapezoidal Rule ni nini?
The Trapezoidal Rule approximates a definite integral by dividing the area under the curve into trapezoids rather than rectangles. Each trapezoid connects adjacent function values with a straight line. The rule has second-order accuracy — halving the step size reduces the error by a factor of four.

- T
- (h/2)[f(x₀) + 2f(x₁) + 2f(x₂) + — (h/2)[f(x₀) + 2f(x₁) + 2f(x₂) +
Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua
- 1T = (h/2)[f(x₀) + 2f(x₁) + 2f(x₂) + ... + 2f(xₙ₋₁) + f(xₙ)]
- 2h = (b−a)/n is the step size
- 3Error ≈ −(b−a)³/(12n²) × f''(ξ) for some ξ in [a,b]
- 4Error is zero when f is linear (trapezoids fit exactly)
- 5Simpson's Rule corrects the trapezoid error using parabolic interpolation
