Numerical integration using trapezoidal rule gives the best result for a single variable function, which is
- linear
- Bparabolic
- Clogarithmic
- Dhyperbolic
Explanation
The trapezoidal rule approximates the integrand with straight-line segments, so it is exact (zero error) for any linear (degree ≤ 1) function — the best possible case.
