The TI-36X ü performs numerical integration using

memory C. Press

display, and A, B, and C will be cleared.
If you want to solve a given problem again using a

scroll to the integration problem in history and press

the new data.
The time the calculator takes to solve the problem
depends on the complexity of the problem and the
number of intervals. You can abort the calculation by
pressing and holding
displayed.
With polynomials up to the third degree, Simpson’s rule
yields the exact answer, so increasing the number of
intervals will not change the results. However, with
polynomials of higher degree and equations containing
more complicated functions (such as trigonometry),
increasing the number of intervals will improve the
precision of the results.

Problem
The table below gives the Gross Domestic Product per
capita and the telephone density (main lines per 100
population) for several countries in a recent year.
Using the LIN regression, find the equation representing
the best fit, in the form y=
a+bx
, where x=GDP/capita
and y=telephone density. Find the coefficient of
correlation. Use this equation to predict the telephone
density of a country with a GDP per capita of $10,695. If
a country has a telephone density of 5.68, what GDP
per capital would you expect this country to have?

Enter a complex number as an ordered pair in
parentheses, with the real part first. Operations with
complex numbers are limited to

If a computation with complex numbers yields a real
number, the r and i will no longer be displayed.
When you store a complex number in memory, it takes
up two memory locations. Store to memory variable
and it occupies A (for the real part) and B (for the
imaginary part); or store to C, and it occupies C and D.
