exact for all polynomials of degree 2 or less.
Solution
Consider f(x)= Ax^2 + Bx + C
f(x)
= (Ax^2 + Bx + C)
= Ax^3/3 + Bx^2/2 + Cx
putting the limits (2,0) we have
= A(8/3) + 2B + 2c
= 8/3A + 2B + 2C ...(i)
Solving the RHS
Af(0) + Af(1) + Af(2)
=A(C) + A(A+ B+ C) + A(4A + 2B + C)
Rearranging terms we have,
=( A + 4A)A + ( A + 2A)B + ( A + A + A )C .....(ii)
Comparing coeffcient in equation (i) & (ii)
A + 4A= 8/3
A + 2A= 2
A + A + A=2
Solving these we get the values as
A =1/3, A=4/3, A =1/3
