Trapezoidal rule error. Without loss of generality, work on $[0, h]$ where $h = b - a$. Define $E(f) = \int_0^h f(x)\,dx - \frac{h}{2}[f(0) + f(h)]$. Note $E$ is linear and $E(1) = 0$, $E(x) = 0$ (both sides give $h^2/2$).

For the error representation, consider $g(t) = \int_0^t f(x)\, dx - t\,\frac{f(0) + f(t)}{2}$ for $t \in [0, h]$. Then $g(0) = 0$ and $g(h) = E(f)$.

Compute $g'(t) = f(t) - \frac{f(0) + f(t)}{2} - \frac{t}{2}f'(t) = \frac{f(t) - f(0)}{2} - \frac{t}{2}f'(t)$.

By the mean value theorem, $f(t) - f(0) = tf'(c)$ for some $c \in (0,t)$, and then $g'(t) = \frac{t}{2}[f'(c) - f'(t)]$. Apply MVT again: $f'(c) - f'(t) = (c - t)f''(d)$ for some $d$.

For the precise error constant, use the Peano kernel theorem. The error functional $E$ annihilates polynomials of degree $\leq 1$, so $E(f) = \int_0^h K(t) f''(t)\, dt$ where $K(t) = \frac{1}{2}E_x[(x-t)_+^1]$ is the Peano kernel. Computing: for $0 \leq t \leq h$, $K(t) = \frac{1}{2}\left[\int_t^h (x-t)\,dx - \frac{h}{2}(h-t)\right] = \frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{(h-t)^2}{2} - \frac{h(h-t)}{2}\right] = \frac{(h-t)(h-t-h)}{4} = -\frac{t(h-t)}{4} \cdot \frac{2}{2}$.

More directly: $K(t) = \frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{(h-t)^2}{2} - \frac{h(h-t)}{2}\right] = \frac{(h-t)}{4}(h - t - h) = \frac{-t(h-t)}{4}$. Wait -- let us recompute carefully. $K(t) = \frac{1}{2}[\int_t^h (x-t)dx - \frac{h}{2}(h-t)] = \frac{1}{2}[\frac{(h-t)^2}{2} - \frac{h(h-t)}{2}] = \frac{(h-t)}{4}[(h-t) - h] = -\frac{t(h-t)}{4}$.

Since $K(t) \leq 0$ on $[0,h]$, the intermediate value theorem for integrals gives $E(f) = f''(\xi)\int_0^h K(t)\,dt = f''(\xi) \cdot (-\frac{h^3}{12})$, yielding $E_T = -\frac{h^3}{12}f''(\xi)$.

Simpson's rule error. On $[0, 2h]$ with $m = h$, Simpson's rule is $S = \frac{h}{3}[f(0) + 4f(h) + f(2h)]$. The error functional $E(f) = \int_0^{2h} f(x)\,dx - S$ annihilates polynomials of degree $\leq 2$ by construction. The key insight is that $E(x^3) = 0$ as well, due to symmetry about $x = h$: both the integral and Simpson's formula give $4h^4$ for $f(x) = x^3$.

Since $E$ annihilates polynomials of degree $\leq 3$, the Peano kernel representation is $E(f) = \int_0^{2h} K_3(t) f^{(4)}(t)\, dt$ where $K_3(t) = \frac{1}{6}E_x[(x-t)_+^3]$. One can verify that $K_3(t) \leq 0$ on $[0, 2h]$ (by direct computation using symmetry), so $E(f) = f^{(4)}(\eta) \int_0^{2h} K_3(t)\,dt$. The integral evaluates to $-\frac{h^5}{90}$, giving $E_S = -\frac{h^5}{90}f^{(4)}(\eta) = -\frac{(b-a)^5}{2880}f^{(4)}(\eta)$. $\square$
