THEOREM 8.6 Errors in the Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson's Rule If f has a continuous second derivative on [a, b], then the error E in approximating f f(x) dx by the Trapezoidal Rule is |E| ≤ (b − a)³ 12n² |E| ≤ -[max [f"(x)], a ≤x≤ b. Trapezoidal Rule Moreover, if f has a continuous fourth derivative on [a, b], then the error E in approximating fa f(x) dx by Simpson's Rule is (b − a)³ 180n4 -[max f(x)], a ≤ x ≤ b. Simpson's Rule
