Trapezoidal Rule Solved on TI89

Trapezoidal Rule solved on TI-89 calculator.

Raw Transcript

Hello everyone this is Tom from EveryStepCalculus.com, EveryStepPhysics.com. Programs that show you step by step how to do these problems.
A student submitted this to Yahoo and it was– you can see the problem, regarding the trapezoidal rule. And, let’s do it. Index8() to get to my menu. I’m going to scroll up to get right to the bottom of the menu.
Cause the trapezoidal rule, T, is closer to the W’s than the A’s. So I did it that way. There’s the trapezoidal rule there on the menu. And it’s really a trapezoidal rule calculator that’s really what would it involves, pretty neat, too.
We add our function. You have to press alpha before you enter anything into these entry lines here in your calculator. Alpha X squared plus 4 times X. I always show you what you’ve entered, you can change it if you want. I say it’s okay, enter the range. The range is alpha 0 and alpha 4. Looks pretty good.
Remember, that’s a definite integral, you can go to my definite integral program (click) and do the calculation exactly. It’ll give you the same answer as what we’re gonna get here. This is a roundabout way of doing something that’s nonsense in both areas. So I say that’s okay. We’re gonna enter the intervals, which is alpha 4.
And here’s the formula, change of X divided by 2, and then f(a), 2 of F of x1, 2 of F of x2, etcetera, etcetera. Down to f(b). This is the actual formula, no matter how many intervals. Change of x is B-minus a divided by n, so that’s 4 minus 0 divided by 4, turns out to be 1, and we compute the intervals.  x0, x1, x3, x4, here’s the answers: 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. and we replace them in the function. F(a) is 0, so we have 0 placed in the function, we’re substituting 0 for every X in the function. And the answer is this right here, 0.
Do the same thing for f(x1) and f(x2). F(1) is placed into the function to equal 5, 12. F(x3) and f(b), so 21 and 32 answer. You’d put parenthesis around these quotation marks, the calculator makes me use quotation marks, but you’re gonna put parenthesis around these, okay, so you look good on your paper. So when we do the definite integral here you’re gonna do the trapezoidal rule approximation. There’s the approximation, and we substitute for these values here.
Put this on your paper and just look like a genius. Do the calculations, comes up to this right here, that turns out to be 54 square units. Pretty neat, huh? EveryStepCalculus.com, go to my site, buy my programs if you wanna pass calculus easy, and subscribe to me if you wanna see more videos and know how my programs work so great. Have a good one.

You are an angel sent from above TOM!!! Thank you so much for being patient with me. I got the programs to work and I am very confident I am going to pass this class once and for all. The Double and Triple Integrals programs are a life saver! Thank You Thank You Thank You!

-Cotto

Tom-    I showed my ex, who is a calculus professor, and he was waaaaaaay impressed. And he is an arrogant ass, who never helped me ever...I could tell he wanted to hate on it, but he couldnt.

Tom...I think that I’m finally done with Calculus II. In the prior test I got 78 and yesterday I finished all the problem on the test. I think I should be able to remain around the same grade. Thank you so much for your help; your programs really made the difference. They didn’t just solve the problems for you, in my case, they gave me the confidence and security I had lost with those stupid professors and the way they teach. To be honest, studying the programs on my calculator taught  me how to solve problems that I couldn’t do before due to the way they were presented. I felt confident and secure yesterday, and it only possible because either I remember  how to do the problems or the calculator would. Thanks one more time for time, dedication and quick responses. There is no other person in the whole world that would do what you do for us , college students being  killed  with freaking calculus classes.      John

Tom-     Got it to work with that link you sent me!  Just wanted to say thanks for all the great work you do, and for helping me pass this calculus class.  I'm going to tell everyone about this and make them pay the $30 dollars because you have done a splendid job programming my friend.  Let me know if you have any new programs for derivatives or integrals and Ill let you know if I need any more help!  Much thanks,                -Eric

I basically just needed to say that you're an amazing man. Basically saved my life during my emag theory course    

-DoubtingThomas  (Youtube vectors review here)

oh my god I figured it out. You're the freaking best!      -Sarah

Thanks Tom. I appreciate you taking the time to break down and explain these to me. :0)     -Nelson

 Tommy,     Great talking with you last night. I already liked you for developing this “most excellent program” but after our conversation I concluded you to be a great guy. I’ve been playing with this program most of the night, took in a few “z’s” and am back for more. This program really is superb. I did, however, notice that for some unknown reason when I attempt to do Relative Extrema’s and Trajectories that both programs came up as “Program not Found”. I’m not sure if I will be encountering the Trajectory stuff in this semester of Calculus but I do have a test this Thursday that includes Relative Extrema. Any suggestion, oh Master of this great creation?! I’m going to be gone most the day but should be home late afternoon if you got time to call. Same number (843-xxx-xxxx). That’s Myrtle Beach, 3 hours ahead of you and more golf courses than you can shake a stick at. Thanks    -Joe

Wow! Awesome! These are great, so great, thank you!            -Kristen

Tom is the man! His program is helping me pass my calculus class. He was willing to help me immediately when I couldn't get one of the programs working! This application is in my opinion a STEAL! I've never met Tom in person but I'll owe passing this class to every step calculus.
