Question

Advantage and disadvantage of trapezoidal rule

Answer 1

Answer:

The trapezoidal rule is to find the exact value of a definite integral using a numerical method. This rule is mainly based on the Newton-Cotes formula which states that one can find the exact value of the integral as an nth order polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

    Advantage

              1. Calculation Simplicity.

             2. Higher accuracy than other rules.

             3. It's easy to use.

             4. Powerful convergence properties.

   Disadvantage

            1. Accuracy depends on node selection.

           2. Errors can thus be reduced by breaking the curve into parts.
