Transcribed Image Text:Example 2
How large should we taken in order to guarantee that the Trapezoidal and Midpoint Rule approximations
for
rf(1/2) de are accurate to within 0.0001?
Solution
We saw in the preceding calculation that|f" (z)| < 2 for 1 < x < 2, so we can take K = 2, a = 1, and b = 2 in
(3), Accuracy to within 0.0001 means that the size of the error should be less than 0.0001. Therefore we
choose n so that
Solving the inequality for n, we get
or
Thus n = 41 will ensure the desired accuracy.

Note
It's quite possible that a lower value for n would suffice, but 41 is the smallest value for which the error bound formula can guarantee us
accuracy to within 0.0001.
For the same accuracy with the Midpoint Rule we choose n so that
