In the part integral $I_1$, the area of the trapezoid can be split up into an area of a triangle and the area of a rectangle (see fig. 7.3),

$ I_1 = \int_{x_1}^{x_2}f(x)dx \approx f(x_1)\Delta x+\frac{1}{2}[f(x_2)-f(x_1)]\Delta x = \frac{1}{2}\left[f(x_1)+f(x_2)\right]\Delta x$

$I_1 = \int_{x_1}^{x_2}f(x)dx \approx f(x_1)\Delta x+\frac{1}{2}[f(x_2)-f(x_1)]\Delta x = \frac{1}{2}\left[f(x_1)+f(x_2)\right]\Delta x$

It follows the 'compound' trapezoid rule:
|
||||
|
||||
$ I \approx I_T =\frac{1}{2}\left[f(x_1)+f(x_N)\right]\Delta x + \sum_{i=2}^{N-1} f(x_i)\Delta x \, .$
|
||||
$I \approx I_T =\frac{1}{2}\left[f(x_1)+f(x_N)\right]\Delta x + \sum_{i=2}^{N-1} f(x_i)\Delta x \, .$
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the trapezoid rule contains the boundaries $a$ and $b$ of the interval. This is referred to as a closed formula. In contrast, the midpoint rule does not contain the boundaries of the interval (open formula). The latter is an advantage, in case that integrable singularities exist at $x=a$ or $x=b$.
