Trapezoidal Rule Example: Prof. K. Tebeest, Kettering University File Trap - Tex 10/27/2017

The document uses the Trapezoidal rule to approximate the integral of sin(x) from 0 to π using: 1) 6 subintervals, with an error of 2.2951% 2) 12 subintervals, with an error of 0.5718% 3) Richardson extrapolation of the results from 1) and 2), achieving the most accurate result of 2.00005262 with an error of 0.0026%.

Trapezoidal Rule Example

Z π
Use the Trapezoidal rule to approximate sin x dx using
0

1. n = 6 subintervals,
2. n = 12 subintervals, and
3. Richardson extrapolation.


Here a = 0, b = π, and f x = sin x.

b−a π
1. n = 6 =⇒ h = = , and xi = a + ih = 0 + π6 i, i = 0, 1, . . . , 6.
n 6

i 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
π 2π 3π 4π 5π 6π
xi 0 6 6 6 6 6 6

π 2π 3π 4π 5π 6π
     
fi sin 0 sin 6 sin 6 sin 6 sin 6 sin 6 sin 6

So
Z π
hh i
sin x dx ≈ f0 + 2f1 + 2f2 + 2f3 + 2f4 + 2f5 + f6
0 2
= 1.9540 9723 3313 , Error = 2.2951% (1)

b−a π π
2. n = 12 =⇒ h = = , and xi = a + ih = 0 + 12 i, i = 0, 1, . . . , 12.
n 12

i 0 1 2 3 ··· 11 12
π 2π 3π 11π 12π
xi 0 12 12 12 ··· 12 12

π 2π 3π 11π 12π
    
fi sin 0 sin 12 sin 12 sin 12 ··· sin 12 sin 12

So
Z π
hh i
sin x dx ≈ f0 + 2f1 + 2f2 + 2f3 + . . . + 2f11 + f12
0 2
= 1.9885 6377 6584 , Error = 0.5718% (2)

3. Richardson extrapolation:
Better − Poorer
Imp. Est. = Better +
22 − 1
 
 Result 2 − Result 1
= Result 2 +
22 − 1
1.9885 6377 6584 − 1.9540 9723 3313
= 1.9885 6377 6584 +
22 − 1
= 2.0000 5262 4341 , Error = 0.0026% (3)

Error in Result 1 2.2951
NOTE:  = = 4.013 ≈ 4 as expected
Error in Result 2 0.5718
