    Calculus I Calculations On The TI-89: X 2x X 4 2x

    Uploaded by

    Bruce Wayne
    This document discusses how to perform calculus calculations on a TI-89 graphing calculator. It can perform both algebraic and numeric derivatives and integrals, as well as limits, extrema finding, arc length, and table evaluations. Examples are provided for how to take derivatives and integrals, find limits, min/max values, arc length, and create tables of functions and derivatives. Functions can be entered in the calculator's Y= editor and referenced in calculations.

    Calculus I Calculations on the TI-89

    Written by Jeff OConnell joconnell@ohlone.edu

    This instruction sheet contains the types of calculations used in most Calculus I courses. For instructions on how to do some of these
    computations with the graph of a function, refer to the sheet Calculations with Graphs on the web site above.
    Numeric vs Algebraic: The TI-89 is the only calculator in the TI family that can do Mathematics algebraically, which is how you do
    Math. For example, saying that for f ( x ) = x 2 , f ' ( x ) = 2x is taking a derivative algebraically. Most calculators will only find
    derivatives numerically, that is, for f ( x ) = x 2 it can tell you that f ' ( 2 ) = 4 but not f ' ( x ) = 2x . The TI-89 can do both.
    The Calculus commands can all be found under the Calc menu by pressing F3.
    Derivatives: To evaluate an algebraic derivative select 1:d( from the Calc menu. The form of the entry is d(f(x), x). For a numerical
    derivative the form of the entry is d(f(x), x)|x=a. Screen 1 shows finding f ' ( x ) and f ' ( 2 ) for f ( x ) = x 2 . Higher order derivatives
    can be found by entering d(f(x), x, order). Screen 2 shows how finding f !! ( x ) and f !! ( 2 ) for f ( x ) = x 3 . You can also evaluate a
    derivative at a list of points. For example, d(x^2, x) | x = {0, 1, 2, 3} will evaluate f ! ( 0 ) , f ! (1) , f ! ( 2 ) , and f ! ( 3) .

    Integrals: To evaluate an indefinite integral, select 2: ! ( from the Calc menu. The form of the entry to evaluate

    ! f ( x ) dx

    is

    ! ( f ( x ) , x) . To evaluate a definite integral, the form of the entry ! ( f ( x ) , x, lower limit, upper limit) . For example, to evaluate
    ! x + 1dx enter ! (x ^ 2 + 1, x, 0, 3) and press ENTER to get 12. Please note, for definite integrals the calculator does NOT give you
    3

    the +C, you must add that.


    Limits: To evaluate Limx!a f ( x ) select 3:limit( from the Calc menu. The form of the entry is limit(f(x), x, a)
    fMin, fMax: These will give you the x value of the minimum and maximum of a function. The form of entry for fMin is fMin(f(x),
    x), fMax is similar. The calculator will only find one value so check the graph to see if there is more than one minimum or maximum.
    arcLen: Will evaluate the arc length of a function over a specified interval. The form of entry is arcLen(f(x), x, a, b) where a and b
    are the limits of the arc. For example to find the arc length of f ( x ) = x 2 + 1 between 0 and 3 enter arcLen(x^2+1, x, 0, 3) and press
    ENTER to get 9.747.
    Tables: The Table will evaluate the y-coordinate of every function in the Y= editor. For example, enter f ( x ) = x 2 + 1 as y1 press !
    [F3] for TBLSET. If Indpnt is set at ASK you will enter the x values by hand, if Indpnt is set at AUTO then the calculator will create
    a list of x values starting at the TblStart value and increasing by ! Tbl. Screen 1 shows how to enter the function f ( x ) = x 2 + 1 and
    its derivative. Screen 2 shows the values of f (x) and its derivative for the values starting at x = 0 and increasing 0.5 each time.
    Notes
    The function in any of these commands can be called from the Y = editor (where functions are entered for graphing). For example, if
    y1 = x 2 + 3x ! 1 and you need f ! ( x ) you can enter d(y1, x). To type lower case y (which is different than Y), press 2nd ALPHA [Y].
