trapezoid:
A function that calculates the area under a curve based on the Simposon algorithm
Description
A function that calculates the approximate value of the definite integral of a continuous function. In other words, it can help plot the area under the curve of the plotted
function between two limits.
Usage
trapezoid(x, y)
Arguments
x
The values to be used along the x-axis while plotting the curve of the function. The x in f(x)=y
y
The values to be used along the y-axis while plotting the curve of the function. The y in the f(x)=y.
Value
The area under the curve plotted with the x and y values provided as arguments.
