Because cubic polynomials are symmetric around the origin so in integration + error is canceled by - error during approximation. Please correct me if i am wrong. 0 0 replyShare harypotter0 commented Oct 26, 2020 reply Follow flag out of syllabus now. 0 0 replyShare Please log in or register to add a comment.
