It is given that $f ( x ) = - 2 x ^ { 2 } + 10$
Consider the following three curves:
(1) $y = f ( x )$
(2) $y = f ( x + 1 )$
(3) the curve $y = f ( x + 1 )$ reflected in the line $y = 6$
The trapezium rule is used to estimate the area under each of these three curves between $x = 0$ and $x = 1$.
State whether the trapezium rule gives an overestimate or underestimate for each of these areas.
| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| A | underestimate | underestimate | underestimate |
| B | underestimate | underestimate | overestimate |
| C | underestimate | overestimate | underestimate |
| D | underestimate | overestimate | overestimate |
| E | overestimate | underestimate | underestimate |
| F | overestimate | underestimate | overestimate |
| G | overestimate | overestimate | underestimate |
| H | overestimate | overestimate | overestimate |
