Can someone help me with calculus?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Trapezoidal Rule: \(\Large\frac{h}{2}(y_0+2y_1+2y_2+...+2y_{n-1}+y_n)\) h = (b-a)/n, where [a,b] is your interval

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I plug this in?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

a = 0 b = pi n = 4

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

You will have four different x values, plug them into the equation given to find the y values, and plug those into the formula

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Divide the interval into four equal subsections

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

so you get the x values 0, pi/4, pi/2, 3pi/4, and pi

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Small correction: you'll have FIVE (not four) x-values, which determine the FOUR subintervals of the domain [0, pi]. For each of these FIVE x-values, find the corresponding y-value: \[f _{0}, f _{1},f _{2},f _{3}, f _{4}\]

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

oops, yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for the correct @mathmale

OpenStudy (mathmale):

What does " h " mean to you (coco)?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

correction*

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Coco: Your turn. All set to go? Or have you questions?
