AP Calculus

Trapezoidal Rule:

Trapezoid Program:

*Must have a function in Y1 to work!

L= lower limit. At what X value does the trapezoid start?

U= upper limit. At what X value does the last trapezoid end?

N= number of trapezoids.

The more trapezoids you have, the closer you get to the limit, and the better the approximation.

Limits:

L is the limit of a function as x approaches c if and only if for any positive number epsilon, no matter how small, there is a positive number delta such that if x is within delta units of c (but not equal to c), then f(x) is within epsilon units of c.

Don’t ask me what that means- I have no idea.
