I really do not understand what this question says to me. In those quarantina days, I am trying to learn matlab by myself by using Tobin's book. thus, I have no body to ask directly this question. Therefore, I posted this question without any my solution trial. sorry for that. any help, any suggestion any hint to give a way to solve this question will become very useful for me. Many thanks.

This question is similar to the one you posted earlier from this book, but this time, instead of giving a function handle as input, we are only giving vectors x and y. The interquad function does not know the input function and just need to rely on these data points to find the integral. To guess the value at a point, not in vector x, we use interpolation. Try the following code to
x = 0:0.01:1;
y = x.^2;
a = interquad(x, y);
function Q = interquad(x, y)
f = @(xq) interp1(x, y, xq, 'pchip'); % phicp is recommended instead of cubic
Q = quad(f, x(1), x(end));
end
It creates vectors x, and y from function on the interval . The output is as follow
a =
0.3333
It is same as integral of on interval 0 to 1.
