1. Enter the function: y1 = (sin 3 x)/x and press the ENTER key.
2. Press 2nd MATH and pick MISC by pressing F5.
3. Press F3 to enter seq. Continue to enter the command:
   seq(2^(-N), N, 0, 10, 1) STO x

   and press the ENTER key.

4. This creates a list of x-values:
   {1 .5 .25 .125 .0625 .03125 ... 9.765625E-4}

   which are the powers, 2^{- N}, for N = 0, 1, ..., 10.

5. Type y1 and press the ENTER key. On the screen you will then see the list of corresponding y-values using the function you entered above:

   N x y1 0 1 .14112000806 1 .5 1.99498997321 2 .25 2.72655504009 3 .125 2.93018023269 4 .0625 2.9824527482 5 .03125 2.99560739954 6 .015625 2.99890148788 7 .0078125 2.99972534934 8 .00390625 2.99993133592 9 .001953125 2.99998283389 10 9.765625E-4 2.99999570847
