QUESTION:

Comparing the Midpoint and Trapezoid Rules  Compare the errors in the Midpoint and Trapezoid Rules with n=4, 8, 16, and 32 subintervals when they are applied to the following integrals (with their exact values given).

\(\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \cos ^{9} x d x=\frac{128}{315}\)

ANSWER:

Solution:-

Step1

Given that

Compare the errors in the Midpoint and Trapezoid Rules with n =4, 8, 16, and 32 subintervals

n = 4,8, 16, and 32

The exact values of the integrals are given for computing the error.

dx= 0.406349

Step2

To find

 Compare the errors in the Midpoint and Trapezoid Rules with n =4, 8, 16, and 32 subintervals when they are applied to the following integrals (with their exact values given).

Step3

     a=0 , b=1.5708, n=4

Using midpoint rule

Step4

Midpoint sum for N=4

++-------+)

++-------+)

=0.406349

Error for N=4 for midpoint rule

===1.46785

Step5

Using midpoint rule

Midpoint sum for N=8

++-------+)

++-------+)

=0.406349

Error for N=8 for midpoint rule

===1.95089

Step6
