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
