Determine the real coefficients b1,b2,b3 such that
∫−22f(x)dx=b1f(−1)+b2f(0)+b3f(1)
is exact when f(x) is any real polynomial of degree 2 . Check explicitly that the quadrature is exact for f(x)=x2 with these coefficients.
State the Peano kernel theorem and define the Peano kernel K(θ). Use this theorem to show that if f∈C3[−2,2], and b1,b2,b3 are chosen as above, then
∣∣∣∣∣∫−22f(x)dx−b1f(−1)−b2f(0)−b3f(1)∣∣∣∣∣⩽94ξ∈[−2,2]max∣∣∣∣f(3)(ξ)∣∣∣∣
