the endpoints of the subintervals defined by (b-a)/n.

Example 1: Approximate the value of ∫ x √ x dx, where n = 4
0

First, find Δx.


∆x = (b-a)/n = (2-0)/4 = .5

Second, use Δx to define the n subintervals


Sub Interval 1 = [0, .5]
Sub Interval 2 = [.5, 1]
Sub Interval 3 = [1, 1.5]
Sub Interval 4 = [1.5, 2]

Third, Now that we have the subintervals, each endpoint becomes an a value.
Endpoint a0 = 0
Endpoint a1= .5
Endpoint a2 = 1
Endpoint a3 = 1.5
Endpoint a4 = 2

Fourth, plug each a value into f(x) to generate the values needed for the trapezoidal rule.
F(0) = 0
F(.5)=.3536
F(1) = 1
F(1.5)= 1.8371
F(2) = 2.8284

Finally, plug into the trapezoidal rule formula.

First, Find h.
h= (b-a)/4 = (3-1)/4 = .5

Second, use h to define the n subintervals


Sub Interval 1 = [1, 1.5]
Sub Interval 2 = [1.5, 2]
Sub Interval 3 = [2, 2.5]
Sub Interval 4 = [2.5, 3]

Third, use each endpoint as an x value.


X0 = 1
X1 = 1.5
X2 = 2
X3 = 2.5
X4 = 3

Example 3: The voltage in a certain circuit is given by V  4 cos(2 t ) . A voltmeter does


not indicate the amplitude. Instead the voltmeter reads the root-mean-square (rms), the
square root of
the average value of the square of the voltage over one cycle. That is

. Find the root – mean – square value of the voltage in volts over
the interval [0.5, 4.5]

a = 0.5 and b = 4.5

Plugging into the formula we have rms =

Example 4: The current i (in A) in an electric circuit as a function of time t (in s) is


given by i=4 t 2+7 . Find an expression for the electric charge q (in C) that passes a point
in the circuit as a function of t. If q = 0 C when t = 0 s, determine the total charge that
passes the point in 2.0 s.

q=∫ i dt

So, q=∫ 4 t +7 dt

4
q= t 3+7 t +C

We know that q(0) = 0

0= 03 +7( 0)+C

0=C

q= t 3+7 t

Finally, we can determine the total charge at t= 2 s by plugging 2 into the q function.

q ( 2 ) = ( 2 )3 +7 ( 2 ) =24.667

Example 5: The Voltage across a 5.0-µF capacitor is zero. What is the Voltage after
20ms if a current of 75mA charges the capacitor?

Since the current is 75mA we know that i = 0.075 A = 7.5 X 10-2 A

Also, 5.0-µF = 5.0 X 10-6 F

dt =1.5 X 10 ∫ dt =( 1.5 X 10 ) t+ C
5.0 X 10 5.0 X 10

We know that V(0) = 0, which means that C = 0

Note that 20ms = 20 X 10-3 s

V c ( 20 )=( 1.5 X 104 )( 20 X 10−3 )=300 V
