this is a video from every step calculus dot com
demonstrating how my programs work on a t i eighty nine
titanium calculator and other calculators in the t i system
for physics and calculus problems ok
simpson's rule ahh an approximation on a definite integral
and let's get started puse second alpha to put the letters
i n d e x in here press alpha and put the nine and the
open and closed parenthesis press enter and you're into my menu
many choices here for you to pass your calculus two class
we're gonna do simpsons rule and we're gonna do what's up here
in the example this is on the you tube by one person
professor or who ever and so we're gonna enter that
you have to press alpha before you enter anything into my entry
lines of my programs so I'm gonna press alpha and put the
one divided by course always parenthesis
x to the fifth plus one close off the parenthesis
press enter I always show you what you've entered
so you can change it case you made a mistake
and we're gonna put in our range alpha two to alpha seven
again I show you I say it's ok
here's the simpson rule formula right out of the calculus book
doesn't tell you much took me two days to figure the real formula
out which is this
and uhm you write this on your paper
I don't think it'll appear on a test too difficult but
ahh probably for homework were gonna do six intervals
and change of x is b minus a, that's the upper limit
minus the lower divided by the number of intervals
and that equals point eight three three and we start our calculations
according to the formula and you write this all on your paper
I'm gonna do it quickly here notice this is changing
substituting in for x to the five plus one each time
and then you sum up all the calculations if you write this on your paper
your gonna look like a genius one point one two square units
which is the are of that uhm definite integral
pretty neat huh every step calculus dot com
go to my site buy my programs
and pass calculus
