I was using my Classpad fx-cg500 to evaluate the following expression which was a FRQ for AP Calc AB:
integral(0, 3.14, abs(sin(x^1.5))
This operation will take minutes to return an answer. I tried it on Casio fx-cg50 and it took only a few seconds. The fx-cg500 is supposedly the flagship of Casio's calculators. Casio has got to improve this problem or it is entirely useless on a test.
Meanwhile, does anyone know of a way to get around this slowness problem?
Thanks.
I see. This is likely a software limitation/bug, because I'm seeing it hang when attempting to G-SOLVE. Interestingly, if you allow it to run for a minute and then hit Clear, it will break the cycle and show the solution anyway. (See below)
I suppose at this point in time the Integration window in the Main app would be the go-to for numeric calculation. In the meantime, I'll share this with the R&D team to study.
