Apply the extended trapezoidal rule to approximate the integral of function f(x)
over the interval defined by 'boundary' with the number of 'steps'.

Args:
boundary (list of floats): A list containing the start and end values [a, b].
steps (int): The number of steps or subintervals.
Returns:
float: Approximation of the integral of f(x) over [a, b].
Examples:
>>> method_1([0, 1], 10)
0.3349999999999999
