COMP
Differential Calculations
The procedure described below obtains the derivative of a function.
Use the
F
key to enter the COMP Mode when you want to perform a
calculation involving differentials.

• Three inputs are required for the differential expression: the function of
variable
x
, the point (
a
) at which the differential coefficient is calculated,
and the change in
x
(
∆
x
).

• You can omit input of
∆
x
, if you want. The calculator automatically
substitutes an appropriate value for
∆
x
if you do not input one.
• Discontinuous points and extreme changes in the value of
x
can cause
inaccurate results and errors.
Integration Calculations
The procedure described below obtains the definite integral of a function.
Use the
F
key to enter the COMP Mode when you want to perform
integration calculations.

• The following four inputs are required for integration calculations:
a function with the variable
x
;
a
and
b
, which define the integration range
of the definite integral; and
n
, which is the number of partitions (equivalent
to N = 2
n
) for integration using Simpson’s rule.
