RECTANGLES - Casio 7700

Introduction
This program plots the graph of a function  f(x), draws left or right hand rectangles, and computes the corresponding approximation for $\int\limits_a^bf(x)dx$.
 
If you have not used one of the programs posted on this website before, you should read through the information in the Intro to Programming section first.

Running the Program
 
You will need to enter a function f(x) into f1 before running the program. Store your function by hitting Fmem. Store your equation in position 1. Change the graphing RANGE so that the desired portion of the function fills the screen. The program will first ask for values of A, B, and N (number of subdivisions). The value of T determines the type of rectangle to be viewed. T=0 corresponds to left hand rectangles, T=1 corresponds to right hand rectangles. Any value between 0 and 1 can also be used. After plotting the graph, the program will display the value of the estimate. Hit GT to view the graph again.
 
To test the program try the following:
  f(x)  =  x2+ 3,   RANGE: 0< x <5,  0< y <25,   A=1,   B=4,   N=6,   T=1.
 
You should see a portion of a parabola and 6 right hand rectangles. The numerical answer will be 33.875
