2. Example-2 (`f(x)=1/x`)





1. Find Solution of an equation 1/x using Trapezoidal rule
x1 = 1 and x2 = 2
Step value (h) = 0.25


Solution:
Equation is `f(x) = 1/x`.

The value of table for `x` and `y`

x11.251.51.752
y10.80.66670.57140.5

Using Trapezoidal Rule
`int y dx = h/2 [y_0+y_4 + 2(y_1 + y_2 + y_3)]`

`int y dx = 0.25/2 [1 + 0.5 + 2xx(0.8 + 0.6667 + 0.5714)]`

`int y dx = 0.25/2 [1 + 0.5 + 2xx(2.0381)]`

`int y dx = 0.697`

Solution by Trapezoidal Rule is `0.697`


2. Find Solution of an equation 2x^3-4x+1 using Trapezoidal rule
x1 = 2 and x2 = 4
Step value (h) = 0.5


Solution:
Equation is `f(x) = 2x^3-4x+1`.

The value of table for `x` and `y`

x22.533.54
y922.254372.75113

Using Trapezoidal Rule
`int y dx = h/2 [y_0+y_4 + 2(y_1 + y_2 + y_3)]`

`int y dx = 0.5/2 [9 + 113 + 2xx(22.25 + 43 + 72.75)]`

`int y dx = 0.5/2 [9 + 113 + 2xx(138)]`

`int y dx = 99.5`

Solution by Trapezoidal Rule is `99.5`
