Consider the integral I = ∫ 0 π sin 2 ( x ) d x . Let E N = I − T N be the error in estimating I using the trapezoidal rule with N equal-sized intervals. ( T N is the estimate.)
What is 1 0 0 E 1 0 0 , to three decimal places?

. We're sorry about the hassle.
You seem to be saying that sin 2 x = cos 2 ( π − x ) , but that is not true. Am I missing something?

Sorry, you are right. I am changing the solution.
We have T N = = = N π j = 1 ∑ N − 1 sin 2 ( N j π ) = 2 N π j = 0 ∑ N − 1 ( 1 − cos ( N 2 j π ) ) 2 1 π − 2 N π R e [ j = 0 ∑ N − 1 e N 2 j π i ] = 2 1 π − 2 N π R e [ e N 2 π i − 1 e 2 π i − 1 ] 2 1 π and so, since I = 2 1 π , we have E N = 0 for all integers N .

I = ∫ 0 π sin 2 x d x = ∫ 0 π 2 1 − cos ( 2 x ) d x = 2 1 [ x − 2 sin ( 2 x ) ] 0 π = 2 π
T 1 0 0 = 1 0 0 π − 0 [ 2 sin 2 0 − sin 2 π + k = 1 ∑ 9 9 sin 2 ( 1 0 0 k π ) ] = 1 0 0 π k = 1 ∑ 9 9 sin 2 ( 1 0 0 k π ) As sin x = sin ( π − x ) = 1 0 0 π ( 2 k = 1 ∑ 4 9 sin 2 ( 1 0 0 k π ) + sin 2 ( 1 0 0 5 0 π ) ) = 1 0 0 π ( 2 k = 1 ∑ 2 4 [ sin 2 ( 1 0 0 k π ) + sin 2 ( 1 0 0 ( 5 0 − k ) π ) ] + 2 sin 2 ( 1 0 0 2 5 π ) + sin 2 ( 2 π ) ) = 1 0 0 π ( 2 k = 1 ∑ 2 4 ( sin 2 ( 1 0 0 k π ) + cos 2 ( 1 0 0 k π ) ) + 2 sin 2 ( 4 π ) + sin 2 ( 2 π ) ) = 1 0 0 π ( 2 k = 1 ∑ 2 4 1 + 1 + 1 ) = 1 0 0 π ( 4 8 + 1 + 1 ) = 2 π
