15-8 Solving and Integrating Programs

2. Select the program that defines the function to integrate: press  

label. (You can skip this step if you're reintegrating the same program.)

3. Enter the limits of integration: key in the lower limit and press

, then key

in the upper limit.

4. Select the variable of integration and start the calculation: press

 

variable.

Notice that FN= is required if you're integrating a programmed function, but not if

you're integrating an equation from the equation list.

You can halt a running integration calculation by pressing  or  and the

message  will appear line 2. However, the calculation cannot be

resumed. No information about the integration is available until the calculation

finishes normally.

Pressing

while an integration calculation is running will cancel the 

operation. In this case, you should start  again from the beginning.

To write a program for ∫ FN:

The program can use equations, ALG or RPN operations — in whatever

combination is most convenient.

1. Begin the program with a label. This label identifies the function that you want

to integrate (label).

2. Include an INPUT instruction for each variable, including the variable of

integration. INPUT instructions enable you to integrate with respect to any

variable in a multi–variable function. INPUT for the variable of integration is

ignored by the calculator, so you need to write only one program that contains

a separate INPUT instruction for every variable (including the variable of

integration).

If you include no INPUT instructions, the program uses the values stored in the

variables or entered at equation prompts.

3. Enter the instructions to evaluate the function.

 A function programmed as a multi–line RPN or ALG sequence must

calculate the function values you want to integrate.
