Expert Solution
Step 1: Evaluating integral using trapezoidal rule

(i) Trapezoidal rule

abf(x)dxh2[f(a)+2i=1n1f(a+ih)+f(b)]

Where h=ban is called step length and n is the number of subintervals.

Advanced Math homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Given that 

t0=0, tf=120, h=30

T(0)=350, T(30)=154, T(60)=87, T(90)=80, T(120)=64

Therefore

t0tfT(t)dt=302[T(0)+2T(30)+2T(60)+2T(90)+T(120)=15(350+308+174+160+64)=15840

Hence average temperature 15840120=132
