trapezoid
(noun)
a (convex) quadrilateral with two (non-adjacent) parallel sides
Examples of trapezoid in the following topics:
-
Approximate Integration
- The trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) is a technique for approximating the definite integral $\int_{a}^{b} f(x)\, dx$.
- Here, we will study a very simple approximation technique, called a trapezoidal rule.
- The trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) is a technique for approximating the definite integral $\int_{a}^{b} f(x)\,dx$.
- The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function $f(x)$ as a trapezoid and calculating its area.
- Use the trapezoidal rule to approximate the value of a definite integral
-
Numerical Integration
- This is called the trapezoidal rule.
- For example, the composite trapezoidal rule can be stated as
-
Numerical Integration
- The trapezoidal rule is a more accurate method of numerical integration.
- For example, the composite trapezoidal rule can be stated as:
