Local truncation error for trapezoidal rule

861 Views Asked by At

Find the local truncation error for the Trapezoidal rule, and hence find the order of the method. What do you expect would happen to the local errors if we were to halve the step size h used ? Explain your answer.

I've found the truncation error, but I'm having trouble finding the order and explaining what would happen if I were to halve the step size. Thanks in advance for any help!
