# Question 28154: Quadratic Reference Error Is Not a General Quadrature Error Theorem [Return to catalogue page 141](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/questions/page/141/) [← Question derivation index](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/questions/) · [Original question batch](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/practice/batch-20261015-advance-20261119-r02-trapezoidal-quadrature-foundations/#q-20261015-pulse-20261119-r02-0079) This teaching derivation has second-context AI mathematical and bilingual semantic review, limited to the model and assumptions stated in this question. It has no human review or new Lean proof and does not promote the original question or MKO to Canonical truth. R0055-28154 · q-20261015-pulse-20261119-r02-0079 ## Original question and givens Use mode=single_width_confusion, complete model={"nodes":[0,1,6],"values":[3,7,13]}. Give (mode, individual_widths, correct_value, wrong_single_width_value, single_width_method_claim, boundary). - G001 — Use mode=single_width_confusion, complete model={"nodes":[0,1,6],"values":[3,7,13]}. Give (mode, individual_widths, correct_value, wrong_single_width_value, single_width_method_claim, boundary). ## Definition and scope Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate. - [mko-trapezoidal-quadrature](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/mko/mko-trapezoidal-quadrature/) ## Step-by-step derivation S001 · impliesBefore source roles = [qf-mod50-trap-error-boundary, trap-error-boundary] After derived = [[mode, individual_widths, correct_value, wrong_single_width_value, single_width_method_claim, boundary]] Conditions: none List this scalar/label/set/point answer role or mode-specific ordered fields,not an imposed universal tuple.Retain legacy domain/underscore operation and integer fractions with/1;original bilingual snapshots stay unchanged.
