Using the trapezoidal rule, and dividing the interval of integration into three equal subintervals, the definite integral
is_____ .
-
- 1.2458
- 1.1111
- 1.2451
- 1.3256
Correct Option: B
∫+1-1|x|dx
Let y = |x|
n = no. of subintervals = 3
h = | = | = | |||
n | 3 | 3 |
Values of x are,
-1, -1 + | , 1 + 2 | ![]() | ![]() | , - 1 + 3 | ![]() | ![]() | |||
3 | 3 | 3 |

= ∫xnx0 f(x) dx = h/2[y0 + yn + 2 (y1 + ..... + yn-1)]
![]() | |x| dx = | ![]() | (1 + 1) + 2 | ![]() | + | ![]() | ![]() | |||
3 | 3 | 3 |
= | ![]() | 2 + | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | = | × | = | = 1.1111 | |||||
3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 9 |
