Step 1
Numerical integration:
Trapezoidal integration:
Let {xk} be a partion of [a, b] such that null a=x0<x1<<xN1<xN=b and Δxk be the length of the kth subinterval (that is, Δxk=xkxk1), then
abf(x)dxk=1Nf(xk1)+f(xk)2Δxk=Δx2(f(x0)+2f(x1)+2f(x2)+2f(x3)+2f(x4)++2f(xN1)+f(xN))
Simpson's integral:
In numerical analysis, Simpson's rule is a method for numerical integration, the numerical approximation of definite integrals. Specifically, it is the following approximation for n+1 values x0xn bounding n equally spaced subdivisions (where n is even): (General Form)
abf(x)dxΔx3(f(x0)+4f(x1)+2f(x2)+4f(x3)+2f(x4)++4f(xn1)+f(xn))
where Δx=ban and xi=a+iΔx
Step 2
Trapezoidal rule:
99.1cos(x2)dx
a=9, b=9.1, n=4
Δxk=9.194=0.025
x0=9, x1=9.025, x2=9.05, x3=9.075, x4=9.1
