For computation of area the value of y1,y2 and y3 are coming from three different same dimension matrix and so I want to compute area of using this code for same matrix dimension as y1, y2 and y3?
x=[7.8 8.25 8.55];
y=[0.96 0.99 0.94];
p=polyfit(x,y,2);
t=linspace(x(1),x(3));
yhat=polyval(p,t);
a1=trapz(t,yhat);
How can I improve code for all 3*3 matrix of given y1,y2 and y3, result will be area a1 of 3*3 matrix.

This general formula in terms of x1, x2, x3, y1, y2, and y3 gives the exact area under your 'polyfit' curve without the trapezoidal approximation errors introduced by 'trapz'. That is, it is the exact integral from x = x1 to x = x3 of the unique quadratic function which passes through all three points (x1,y1), (x2,y2), and (x3,y3).
a = (x3-x1)*((y1+y2+y3)/3+((x3-x2)*(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)-(x2-x1)*(y3-y2)/(x3-x2))/6);
