Discussion:

The conventional command for the trapezoid rule in MATLAB differs slightly from the standard
expression. In conventional mathematics, the endpoints are the X coordinates that are used to
locate the points Y. The Trapezoid equation is then used to integrate all of the points to produce
the area.
The function of y is initially denoted by the integrals of y in MATLAB commands. Limits are
then stated with N points, and step size h is determined using them. "X" represents the endpoints
that begin at a and end at b. The trapezoid equation with integral solutions for the a and b points
is denoted by the letter "T." Beginning the subsequent for loop, MATLAB automatically handles
shifting the value of I to the next member of the vector by indicating it with a limit. "T" in a for
loop corresponds to the answers for the I loop's modifying y and T before. The first endpoint of a
limit in the I loop is x0(i).
Trapezodial_integral gives the solution for actual area which we find theoretically and
Exact_integral gives the actual area of integration. We can also verify our coded answers with
MATLAB default Trapezoid function.
