Introduction to the Mean
Value of a Function
The mean value of a function is a concept in calculus that represents the average
rate of change of the function over a specific interval. It is a crucial tool in
analyzing the behavior of functions and their derivatives.
Exercise: Finding the Mean Value

Find the mean value of the function f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 4 over the interval [0, 2].

To find the mean value, we follow these steps:

∫[0, 2] (2x^2 + 3x - 4) dx = 8.67

(8.67)/(2-0) = 4.33

1. Find the definite integral of the function over the interval:

2. Divide the definite integral by the length of the interval:

Therefore, the mean value of the function over the interval [0, 2] is approximately 4.33.

The trapezoidal rule approximates the area under a curve Simpson's rule uses quadratic approximations to
by dividing it into trapezoids. estimate the area under a curve.

• The area of the trapezoid that lies above
the i th subinterval is:

lower than other methods. with complex curvatures, but requires more
computational effort.
Error Estimates in Numerical Integration
1 Local Error
Local error in numerical integration is the
discrepancy between the exact value and the
estimated value of the integral at a specific
subinterval.
2 Global Error
Global error refers to the difference between the
true integral value and the calculated value over
the entire integration domain.
