Question

The curve $y = f (x)$ $y = f\left( x \right)$ is shown in the graph, for $0 \leqslant x \leqslant 10$ .

The curve $y = f\left( x \right)$ passes through the following points.

It is required to find the area bounded by the curve, the $x$ -axis, the $y$ -axis and the line $x = 10$ .

One possible model for the curve $y = f\left( x \right)$ is a cubic function.

Use the trapezoidal rule to find an estimate for the area.
