$\begin{align}&f(4)=-2\&f(13)=-11\&f(22)=11\&f(31)=11\&f(40)=10\&\text{Approximate, using a trapezoidal sum, }\int_{4}^{40}f(x)\end{align}$

Answer

$\begin{align}&\text{A trapezoidal integral approximation over an interval [a, b]}\&\text{with n subintervals follows the form:}\&\int_a^b f(x)dx \approx\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{b-a}{n}\frac{f(x_{i+1})+f(x_i)}{2}=\frac{b-a}{2n}(f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+2f(x_3)+...+f(x_n))\&\text{It is essentially a sum of n trapezoids, each with a base of}\&\text{length :}\frac{b-a}{n}\text{ and variable paired heights :}f(x_i),f(x_{i+1})\text{, which depend on the function values at }x_i,x_{i+1}\&\text{We're given a set of values:}\&f(4)=-2\&f(13)=-11\&f(22)=11\&f(31)=11\&f(40)=10\&\text{The total interval has a length of }36\&\text{Notice the points are equidistant, with }4\text{ intervals between.}\&\text{Applying the rules above, we can write:}\&\int_{4}^{40}f(x)\approx\frac{36}{2\cdot4}[(-2)+2(-11)+2(11)+2(11)+(10)]\&\int_{4}^{40}f(x)\approx135\end{align}$

$\begin{align}&\text{The function }f(x)\text{ has the following values on the interval }x=[-3,18]:\&f(-3)=-12\&f(4)=-16\&f(11)=13\&f(18)=-13\&\text{Approximate the integral of }f(x)\text{ on this interval using the trapezoidal rule.}\end{align}$

Answer

$\begin{align}&\text{A trapezoidal integral approximation over an interval [a, b]}\&\text{with n subintervals follows the form:}\&\int_a^b f(x)dx \approx\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{b-a}{n}\frac{f(x_{i+1})+f(x_i)}{2}=\frac{b-a}{2n}(f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+2f(x_3)+...+f(x_n))\&\text{It is essentially a sum of n trapezoids, each with a base of}\&\text{length :}\frac{b-a}{n}\text{ and variable paired heights :}f(x_i),f(x_{i+1})\text{, which depend on the function values at }x_i,x_{i+1}\&\text{We're given a set of values:}\&f(-3)=-12\&f(4)=-16\&f(11)=13\&f(18)=-13\&\text{The total interval has a length of }21\&\text{Notice the points are equidistant, with }3\text{ intervals between.}\&\text{Applying the rules above, we can write:}\&\int_{-3}^{18}f(x)\approx\frac{21}{2\cdot3}[(-12)+2(-16)+2(13)+(-13)]\&\int_{-3}^{18}f(x)\approx-108.5\end{align}$
