Question

Find the absolute value of the resulting error if the value of integral from 0 to 3 (x^3 dx) is estimated with 3 trapezoids of equal width.

a) 2.25
b) 5.25
c) 15.75
d) 47.25

Answer 1

Chill guys. Damon has a small error in his calculations. The actual integral is 81/4, not 81/3. So it's 22.5 - 20.25 = 2.25.

Answer 2

lmao Damon the options are 2.25, 5.25, 15.75, and 47.25. the problem isn’t wrong you are.

Thank you Mr. Damon but 27 is not in my options. How would I have to do to find the answer.

Answer 10

it asked for the error by the way which is 27 - 22.5 = 4.5
