I have a calc test tomorrow on integration by substitution, by parts and present value, by partial fractions, by tables, and improper integrals.

So I need to know if I'm doing my homework right or else I'm screwed on test day if I've been doing it wrong...anyone know how to find the indefinite integral using the TI-83 Plus (I can't use the back of the book because this is a worksheet)?

An example problem is <integral sign>(4x-2)/(3(x-1)^2 dx.

Calculus would have been a breeze if I was able to use a graphing calculator. Actually the use of any calculator would have been helpful.

go to math...find "fnInt"
fnInt(function, x, lowerbound, upperbound)

Edit: Just read the "indefinite" part...sorry...obviously you know the calculator syntax for definite. :p Sorry, can't help you. I wish it was possible.

As far as I know of, only the 89 and 92 can do it. The Z80 based TI's(89 and 92 are 68K based) can handle definates easily enough, but can't do indefinite.:eek:

Well, I can differentiate the answer and see if it matches the original problem as a method of checking. So can I differentiate on the calc?

I think you can only do a differential in the form of the differential curve on the 83. Not sure though.

I think you need a proggie to calculate integration
I used to have it in my ti-83
maybe one of ur classmates has it...
