Question

The two segment trapezoidal rule of integration is exact for integrating at most how many order of polynomial?

Answer 1

Answer:

FIRST

Explanation:

The 2 segment trapezoidal rule for integration, is exact for integrating at most FIRST order of polynomial.

The single segment trapezoidal rule is exact for atmost a first order polynomial. When it comes to two

segment trapezoidal rule is also exact only for the same order of polynomial, which is, a first order  polynomial.

Answer 2

Answer:

The two segment trapezoidal rule of integration is exact for integrating at most first order of polynomial.

Explanation:

In Numerical methods of Integration, Trapezoidal rule is a method of approximation of the definite integral.

Let the function be f(x). Trapezoidal rule integrates this region in the graph as a trapezoid and calculates the area.

It provides accurate result.
