Set up an equation using the Trapezoidal Rule that will approximate the area under on using six trapezoids with equal height. How could you use the fact that is an even function to save yourself some work?

Notice the symmetry about the -axis. If we evaluate the trapezoidal sum on one side of the -axis, can we determine the trapezoidal sum on the other side of the -axis?
