Introduction
This program computes left and right hand 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.
If you have a TI Connectivity Cable, you can download the program main.lrsums.89p

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.
