Appendix B—Computer Algebra System (TI calculators) 713B6Using the Calculus menuOperations in the Calculus menu (F3)Seven of the operations of the calculus menu are considered here. These are:1:d( differentiate, 2: ∫ (integrate, 3:limit(, 6:fMin(, 7:fMax(, A:nDeriv( and B:nInt(1:d(differentiateThis operation is used to differentiate expressions. The required form is d(expression,variable).The followings screens illustrate its use. For the second derivative the form is d(expression,variable, 2).2: ∫ (integrateThis operation is used to differentiate expressions. For indefinite integrals the required form is∫ ∫(expression, var). If the family of antiderivatives is required enter (expression, var, c).Make sure that c has not been assigned a value. This is done by observing the VAR-LINKscreen. For definite integrals the required form is ∫ (expression, var, upper, lower). Thefollowing screens illustrate its use.3:limit(SAMPLEThe limits considered in this section will be those that are considered in the senior years ofschool mathematics. Right and left limits as well as two-sided limits will be considered. Thesyntax is as follows.For lim limit(expression, x, a)x→aFor lim limit(expression, n, ∞)n→∞For lim limit(expression, x,0,1)x→0 +For lim limit(expression, n,0, −1)n→0 −Cambridge University Press • Uncorrected Sample Pages •2008 © Evans, Lipson, Jones, Avery, TI-Nspire & Casio ClassPad material prepared in collaboration with Jan Honnens & David Hibbard
