The trapezoidal method is used to evaluate the numerical value of $\int_{0}^{1}e^x dx$.  Consider the following values for the step size h.

  1. 10-2
  2. 10-3
  3. 10-4
  4. 10-5

For which of these values of the step size h, is the computed value guaranteed to be correct to seven decimal places. Assume that there are no round-off errors in the computation.

  1. iv only
  2. iii and iv only
  3. ii, iii and iv only
  4. i, ii, iii and iv

error = (b-a)h2.max(f"(x) between 0 and 1) /12 

error <= 10-7

solving these equations we get

h <= 6.644*10-4

option B

@Vikrant : why error <=10^-8

Why not 10^-7 ??

We need only upto 7 decimal places !!

@sandeep you are right it should be 10^-7. I have edited the answer.

The trapezoidal method to numerically obtain $\int_a^b f(x) dx$ has an error E bounded by $\frac{b-a}{12} h^2 \max f&rsquo;&rsquo;(x), x \in [a, b]$ where $h$ is the width of the trapezoids. The minimum number of trapezoids guaranteed to ensure $E \leq 10^{-4}$ in computing $\ln 7$ using $f=\frac{1}{x}$ is 60 100 600 10000
