Root Ti-83

AI Thread Summary

To program the TI-83 for Riemann sums with the function Y1 = √(1 + sin³), the correct input format is sqrt(1 + (sin(argument))^3). The issue arises from the calculator's handling of parentheses, which can complicate exponentiation. Users should ensure that the argument for the sine function is properly enclosed in parentheses before applying the exponent. This method allows for accurate calculations of the desired function. Proper syntax is crucial for successful programming on the TI-83.

I'm trying to program my 83 for Reimann sums and I believe I've got it now but to plug in for Y1=\sqrt{1+sin^3} how do I make the \sin^3 part because the parenthesis keep me from getting the ^3. I've tried the MATH button but it won't work that way.

Hey,
You have to enter it like this:
sqrt(1 + (Sin(argument))^3)
Sin^3 is the same as (sin(argument))^3

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
