Help please

@zepdrix

OpenStudy (knov):

what's the question ?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

It's on trapezoidal rule

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

@knov

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

@zepdrix

OpenStudy (knov):

okay

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Lets see it

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Find the integral of cos(x^2) from 0 to 1 using the midpoint rule and trapezoidal rule and graph

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

@FortyTheRapper

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

@knov

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I don't know where to start

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Lets first find the formula (I'm on my phone so I can't use the equation button sorry) (Delta X /2)(f(X0) + 2f(x1) + 2f(x2).... + f(xn) Basically the first and last are f(x) and everything in between are 2f(X)

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Okay

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Oh yeah I forgot to mention n=4

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Ahh OK, do you know how to find Delta X

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

B-a/2?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Right, what would that be

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

1/2

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I think lol

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yes, now divide that by 2

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

1/4

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Alright, coolio. Now to find one more thing. Know how we can find the x1, x2, etc?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

@FortyTheRapper sorry had to eat

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Ugh plug in the values into the equation?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yeah, but which ones? There will be five, since n was 4

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

0 1/4 1/2 3/4 1?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I think

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Perfect So we find f(0) + 2f(1/4) + 2f(1/2) + 2f(3/4) + f(1) Then multiply all that by 1/4

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Okay

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Thank you :)
