3.6.2: Trapezoidal Sums
Take notes as you watch the video. Listen to the presentations carefully until you are able to use trapezoidal approximation to estimate areas under curves.
Read this material on the area between two curves. Then move on to watch the two videos in this section. This material discusses how to use the trapezoidal and Simpson rules to approximate the area under a curve. Then, complete review questions 1-10 toward the bottom of the page. These exercises will provide you with the opportunity to use the trapezoidal and Simpson rules to solve various integral problems. The solutions to these problems are located here.
Take notes as you watch the videos. Listen to the presentations carefully until you are able to understand all of the parts of the problem from the Calculus AB Exam.
