    This document demonstrates the trapezoidal rule for numerical integration by calculating approximations and errors for two example functions. It first integrates f(x)=1/(1+x) from 0 to 1, finding the approximation to be 0.75 and the exact integral to be 0.693147 with an error of 0.0568528. It then integrates f(x)=1/(x^2-1) from 2 to 3, with results of 0.229167 for the approximation, 0.693147 for the exact value, and 0.463981 for the error.
