TI89: How to Integrate Using Your Calculator
TLDRIn this educational video, Roy from Math Emergency demonstrates how to perform integration using a TI 89 calculator. He covers both indefinite and definite integrals, as well as calculating areas between curves. The process involves navigating to the 'calc' menu, inputting the function, variable, and limits for integration, and using the 'Auto' feature for exact or decimal results. Roy also shows an alternative method for integration directly from the 'y=' graphing screen. He concludes with a tip on integrating areas between curves by setting up the integral with the top function minus the bottom function, using the 'y1' and 'y2' functions on the calculator.
Takeaways

π How to Use TI-89 for Integration
This paragraph introduces a tutorial by Roy from Math Emergency on integrating functions using a TI-89 calculator. It covers the process for both indefinite and definite integrals, as well as finding areas between curves. The setup for integration is similar to that for differentiation, starting from the 'calc' menu. The tutorial demonstrates how to input an integral by first entering the function to be integrated, followed by the variable of integration. For indefinite integrals, the process is straightforward, and it reminds viewers to add a '+C' for homework. For definite integrals, the limits of integration are added after the variable. The paragraph also mentions the 'Auto' feature for exact or decimal answers and an alternative method for integration using the 'y=' screen for graphing.
π Integrating Areas Between Curves on TI-89
The second paragraph focuses on integrating areas between two curves using the TI-89 calculator. It suggests plotting both functions on the graphing screen to visually determine which function is the top and bottom, or left and right, to correctly set up the integral. The process involves subtracting the bottom function from the top function. The tutorial advises putting both functions into the 'y=' screen for clarity and then using the 'integrate' function from the home screen. It explains how to input the top function (from 'y2') minus the bottom function (from 'y1'), followed by the variable of integration and the limits of integration, which in the case of areas between curves would be the points of intersection. The example given calculates the area between x^2 and 3x from 0 to 3, resulting in an area of 9/2 or a decimal approximation of 4.5. The paragraph concludes by inviting viewers to leave comments or questions and to request further videos on the TI-89 or other math topics.
