The function f is such that $0 < f(x) < 1$ for $0 \leq x \leq 1$. The trapezium rule with $n$ equal intervals is used to estimate $\int_0^1 f(x) \, dx$ and produces an underestimate.
Using the same number of equal intervals, for which one of the following does the trapezium rule produce an overestimate?
