Introduction
This program computes left, right, Trapezoid, Midpoint, and
Simpson's approximations for
.
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.
The Program
:Prompt A,B,N | {Prompt is in PRGM under I/O} |
:(B-A)/N![]() |
{The arrow is STO} |
:A![]() |
{x is x-VAR} |
:0![]() |
{The 0 is a zero} |
:0![]() |
{The 0 is a zero} |
:1![]() |
{The 1 is a one} |
:Lbl P | {Lbl is in PRGM under CTL} |
:L+y1*H![]() |
{y1 is in VARS under EQU} {The * is the times sign} |
:x+H/2![]() |
|
:M+y1*H![]() |
|
:x+H/2![]() |
|
:IS>(J,N) | {IS> is in PRGM under CTL} |
:Goto P | {Goto is in PRGM under CTL} |
:B![]() |
|
:L+y1*H![]() |
|
:A![]() |
|
:R-y1*H![]() |
|
:(L+R)/2![]() |
|
:(2*M+T)/3![]() |
|
:Disp "L R T M S" | {Disp and " are in PRGM under I/O} |
:Disp L | |
:Disp R | |
:Disp T | |
:Disp M | |
:Disp S |
Running the Program
You will need to enter a function f(x) into y1 before running
the program. The program will ask for values of A, B, and N (number of
subdivisions).
To test the program try the following:
f(x) = x2+ 3,
A=1, B=4, N=20.
Your answer will be
L R T M S
