## Approximating Definite Integrals Using the Trapezoidal Rule

### Problem Statement
Given the graph of \( f(x) \), set up the approximation of the definite integral using the Trapezoidal Rule with \( n = 4 \). In your work, include your estimated y-values.

### Integral to Approximate
\[
\int_{0}^{4} f(x) \, dx
\]

### Graph Explanation
The graph provided is a plot of the function \( f(x) \) over the interval \([0, 4]\). The x-axis ranges from approximately \(-4\) to \(4\), while the y-axis ranges from \(-4\) to \(8\). The curve indicates \( f(x) \) has both increasing and decreasing intervals, featuring a significant peak and trough within the specified range.

### Steps to Use the Trapezoidal Rule
1. **Divide the Interval**: The interval \([0, 4]\) is divided into \( n = 4 \) equal parts, each of width \( \Delta x = 1 \).

2. **Estimate y-values**: For each subinterval endpoint, estimate the y-value (height) from the graph.

3. **Apply the Trapezoidal Rule Formula**:
   \[
   \int_{0}^{4} f(x) \, dx \approx \frac{\Delta x}{2} \left[ f(x_0) + 2f(x_1) + 2f(x_2) + 2f(x_3) + f(x_4) \right]
   \]
   where \( x_0, x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4 \) are the endpoints of the subintervals.

4. **Calculate the Approximation**: Insert the estimated y-values into the formula to find the approximate value of the integral.

Expert Solution
Step 1

From the given graph, it is observed that the value of f0=1, f1=2.5, f2=6, f3=7.75, f4=1.

The objective is to calculate the value of integration 04fxdx by the Trapezoidal rule for n=4.

The value n=4. Therefore, the number of subinterval is 4.

The initial point is 0 and the final point is 4. Therefore, the length of each subinterval is 4-04, i.e. 1.

The node points are 0, 0+1, 0+2×1, 0+3×1, 0+4×1, i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
