When is the trapezoidal rule needed for experimental data?

When only measured values are known

What is ∫26f(x)dx\int_2^6 f(x)dx using one subinterval if f(2)=5f(2)=5 and f(6)=9f(6)=9?

2828

When does the trapezoidal rule give the exact value of an integral?

When the function is linear

How does dividing an interval into more subintervals affect accuracy?

Improves the accuracy

For a concave up curve, does the trapezoidal rule overestimate or underestimate?

Overestimates

If d2ydx2<0\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} < 0, does the trapezoidal rule overestimate or underestimate?

Underestimates

If y′′=8x3y'' = 8x^3 for x≥1x \geq 1, is the curve concave up or down?

Concave up

In the formula with nn subintervals, how many times do middle values appear?

Twice

What is the width hh of each subinterval when dividing [a,b][a,b] into nn parts?

h=b−anh = \frac{b-a}{n}

Should subintervals have equal width when using the trapezoidal rule?

Yes, unless instructed otherwise
