student

 trapezoid
 numerical approximation to an integral

 Calling Sequence trapezoid(f(x), x=a..b) trapezoid(f(x), x=a..b, n)

Parameters

 f(x) - algebraic expression in x x - variable of integration a - lower bound on the range of integration b - upper bound on the range of integration n - (optional) indicates the number of trapezoids to use

Description

 • Important: The student package has been deprecated. Use the superseding command Student[Calculus1][ApproximateInt] instead.
 • The function trapezoid computes a numerical approximation to an integral using the Trapezoidal rule. If symbolic arguments are given, an appropriate formula is generated.
 • Four equal-sized intervals are used by default.
 • The command with(student,trapezoid) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
