Could be used for:
(a) Integration of tabulated data
Example:
𝒙 1 2 3 4 5
𝒇 𝒙 10 13 14 21 23

Newton-cotes integration 5
(b) Integration of function:
Example:
𝑓 𝑥 = 0.2 + 25𝑥 − 2𝑥 2
Generate data using function:

𝑥 0 1 2
𝑓 𝑥 ? ? ?
Newton-cotes integration 6
(c) Equally spaced data/ data with the same
segment

equally spaced data = same interval

h=1 h=1 h=1
𝒙 1 2 3 4
𝒇 𝒙 10 13 14 21
*h=interval
