evaluating definite integrals involving abs(), sin, and exponent
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.

Yes, that is exactly what I discovered too. I hope the R&D team will come up with a fix soon because i ran into this situation more than once where i had to hit the brake to get an answer. I have both the classpad and Nspire CX II CAS. But the classpad user interface is so much user friendly. I just hope it can perform a little faster than it is currently. Is Casio working on a next generation CAS model?
