  1. A measure of the effective voltage, \(M\) volts, in an electrical circuit is given by
$$M ^ { 2 } = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } V ^ { 2 } \mathrm {~d} t$$ where \(V\) volts is the voltage at time \(t\) seconds. Pairs of values of \(V\) and \(t\) are given in the following table.
\(t\)00.250.50.751
\(V\)- 4820737- 161- 29
\(V ^ { 2 }\)
Use the trapezium rule with five values of \(V ^ { 2 }\) to estimate the value of \(M\). \begin{figure}[h]
