find the minimum number of intervals required to evaluate integration 0 to $1\mathrm{e}^{\wedge} - \mathrm{x}^{\wedge}2$ dx with an accuracy of $1 / 2 \times 10^{\wedge} - 4$ by using trapezoidal rule

Answer.

$$| \varepsilon | \leq \frac {(b - a) ^ {3}}{12N^{2}} \max _ {a \leq x \leq b} f ^ {\prime \prime} (x).$$ $$a = 0, b = 1.$$ $$f (x) = e ^ {- x ^ {2}}, f ^ {\prime} (x) = - 2 x e ^ {- x ^ {2}}, f ^ {\prime \prime} (x) = (4 x ^ {2} - 2) e ^ {- x ^ {2}}.$$ $$\max _ {0 \leq x \leq 1} f ^ {\prime \prime} (x) = f ^ {\prime \prime} (1) = \frac {2}{e} \approx 0.7358.$$ $$\text{So, } 0.5 \times 10^{-4} \leq \frac{0.7358}{12N^{2}} \rightarrow N \geq \sqrt{\frac{0.7358}{12 \div 0.5 \times 10^{-4}}} \approx 35.$$
