Q3) (a)

Use Trapezoidal rule to estimate 0.51.3ex2 dx using a strip of width 0.2.

Here,  f x  = ex2, and a = 0.5 ; b = 1.3
 
Given that, h =  0.2
 
x 0.5 0.7 0.9 1.1 1.3
f( x ) 1.2840 1.6323 2.2479 3.3535 5.4195
 
By Trapezoidal rule,
 
abf x  dx =  h 2  y0 + y10  + 2  y1 + y2 + y3  + ...    
 
abf x  dx =  0.2 2 ( 1.2840 + 5.4195 ) + 2 ( 1.6323 + 2.2479 + 3.3535 )   
 
abf x  dx = 2.1171
