You really need to explain your question more. "A Computer" is too vague. As someone else pointed out there is a way to do it in MathCad. But I believe it can't be done in Excel. And know it can't be done in Visual Basic. Maybe you should repost your question.

Answer 2

You would type

integral( f(x), respected variable, lower limit, upper limit)

Answer 3

it depends on what program you're using

I would try the syntax int(f(x),x,1,5)

Answer 4

use 'Mathcad'
