Best method of entry.
What is the best way to enter the following integral into the Prime?

1/2pi * integral of i(wt) dwt from alpha to beta (this is formula for average current in 1/2-wave, single phase rectifier with inductive load)

Known from i(wt) formula: i(wt)=6.78*sin(wt-0.646)-2.67e^-(wt/0.754)
Given alpha=0.785 and setting wt=beta and i(wt)=0 in above equation I find beta=3.785.

I want to make sure I'm inputting the integral correctly to confirm my answers.

Thank you

RE: Best method of entry.
I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you want to find beta such that the integral from alpha to beta of i(wt) is zero? If so, this is what I did:

   

There are many solutions, one of which is about 6.446126.

Here is a plot of that solution:

   

If I am misunderstanding , please clarify.

RE: Best method of entry.
Thanks for the response roadrunner. Alpha was given and I have already solved for beta > pi by setting wt=beta (in i(wt)) and i(wt)=0. Now I'm just looking for the best way to input into the calculator the following in order for the calculator to solve it:

integral i(wt) dwt from 0.785 to 3.785

So: integral (6.78*sin(wt-0.646)-2.67e^-(wt/0.754)) dwt from 0.785 to 3.785

Does this help to clear up what I'm looking for?

It looks like this is close to what you've done but when I input the first line from your picture: ii:=(wt)->(xxx) in Function/CAS I get an unspecified error, when I choose OK it puts the cursor between the first w and t in the statement. Maybe there is something wrong with my key sequence for the input? Keystrokes: alpha, i, alpha, i, shift, Vars, :, enter, shift, ., (), alpha, w, alpha, t, right on directional pad, shift, 9, right arrow, (), then input expression.

Hi,

Is this what you mean?

∫(6.78*sin(wt-0.646)-2.67*e^(-wt/0.754),wt,0.785,3.785)

Returns around 12.797 with radians set

Use the template on the "C" button to assist with inputting the integral

Cheers, Terje

Do you have the latest firmware version? Try it this way:

ii(wt):=-2.67*e^(-1.32625994695*wt)+6.78*sin(wt-0.646)

Or just cut and paste the line above into the emulator.

then type or cut and paste:

∫(ii(wt),wt,0.785,3.785)

You should get the same answer as Terja

Thanks guys, this works both ways now, not sure what I was/wasn't doing wrong the other day. I appreciate your time!
