TI-85 Program: TRAPEZOI This program will approximate the area of the region bounded by the x-axis, the curve y = f(x), x = a, and x = b using n trapezoids. You can view the results both graphically and numerically or numerically only. 1. Before you run the program, store f(x) in y1 and set the desired graph window. 2. Run the program, respond yes to question if you did step 1, otherwise no and do step 1. 3. Respond to Display graph option. 4. Work your way across the menu, set the bounds (Bnds), set the number of trapezoids (N), and calculate the sum (CONT). 5. Program will display the curve and the trapezoids. You can toggle between the sum and the graph. Return will allow you to go back to the previous menu, Exit will quit the program. Note: The INTEGRAT program calls this program. Last updated: 2/9/98
