Solutions to the 20-questions
Suppose that a quadrature formula has the form
1
o f (x)dx : Aof(O) Af(1) Bq f (0)
and its residual isR 二 kf (3)(),匚三(0,1). Determine the constantsAo, Ai, Bo to let
the formula have degree of precisi on as high as possible, and find the degree of precisi on and value ofk.
Solution: Since the quadrature formula has three unknowns, the formula gives the

Substituting f(x)=x into the formula, we find that
left-side of the formula =1/4 right-side of the formula =1/3.
The two sides are not equal. Therefore the formula has on ly degree of precisi on 2.
