1 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 Solutions to Problem Set 1 Part I/Part II Part I(0 points) (a) ( points) p. 57, Section., Problem 1 (b) ( points) p. 6, Section.3, Problem 1 (c) ( points) p. 6, Section.3, Problem 8 (d) ( points) p. 6, Section.3, Problem 36 You may assume x > 0. (e) ( points) p. 68, Section.4, Problem 8 Speed is different from velocity. (f) ( points) p. 73, Section.5, Problem 4 (g) ( points) p. 73, Section.5, Problem 6 (h) ( points) p. 73, Section.5, Problem 14 (i) ( points) p. 87, Section 3.1, Problem 5 (j) ( points) p. 91, Section 3., Problem 30 Solution (a) By Equation (4) on p. 54, the slope of the tangent line to the parabola at (x 0, y 0 ) is x 0. Thus the equation of the tangent line is, (y y 0 ) = x 0 (x x 0 ), or equivalently y = x 0 x x 0. (a). At the point (x 0, y 0 ) = (, 4), the tangent line is, y = 4x 4. (b). Since the slope is x 0, the slope is 8 when x 0 equals 4. Plugging in, y 0 equals x 0 = (4), which is 16. Thus the tangent line with slope 8 is, y = 8x 16. (c). If x 0 is zero, the tangent line has equation y = 0, i.e., the tangent line is the x axis. Thus the tangent line does not have a well defined x intercept. Therefore assume that x 0 is nonzero. The x intercept of the tangent line is the value x 1 such that y is 0. Plugging in, this gives the equation, 0 = x 0 x 1 x 0. 1
2 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 Simplifying, this is x 0 x 1 = x 0. Since x 0 is nonzero by hypothesis, also x 0 is nonzero. Dividing both side by x 0 gives the equation x 1 = x 0 /. Thus the x intercept x 1 equals if and only if x 0 equals x 1 = = 4. As computed in (b), the equation of the tangent line is, y = 8x 16. Solution (b) Since f (x) equals ax + bx + c, substituting x + Δx for x, f (x + Δx) equals, Expanding the square, this is, Therefore f (x + Δx) f (x) equals, a(x + Δx) + b(x + Δx) + c. a(x + xδx + (Δx) ) + b(x + Δx) + c. [a(x + xδx + (Δx) ) + b(x + Δx) + c] [ax + bx + c]. Cancelling like terms, namely ax, bx and c, this simplifies to, axδx + a(δx) + bδx. Separating the common factor Δx from these terms, this simplifies to, This complete Step 1. f (x + Δx) f (x) = (ax + aδx + b)δx. Because of the common factor Δx, the difference quotient is, for Δx nonzero. This completes Step. f (x + Δx) f (x) = ax + aδx + b, Δx Holding a, b and x constant and allowing Δx to vary, the expression ax + aδx + b is a linear function in Δx; perhaps this is easier to see if it is written aδx + (ax + b). A linear function is continuous. Thus to compute the limit as Δx approaches 0, it suffices to substitute in Δx equals 0. Therefore, f (x) = lim [aδx + (ax + b)] = a0 + (ax + b), Δx 0 which simplifies to ax + b. Therefore the derivative of ax + bx + c is, f (x) = ax + b. Solution (c) The function is defined when 3x+ is nonzero, i.e., when x is not /3. The function is undefined with x equals /3. Therefore assume that x is not /3.
3 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 Substituting x + Δx for x gives, To compute the difference, 1 f (x + Δx) =. 3(x + Δx) f (x + Δx) f (x) =, 3(x + Δx) + 3x + we express both fractions with the common denominator (3(x + Δx) + )(3x + ), [ ] [ ] 1 3x + 1 3(x + Δx) + = 3(x + Δx) + 3x + 3x + 3(x + Δx) + This simplifies to, 3x + 3(x + Δx) +. (3(x + Δx) + )(3x + ) (3(x + Δx) + )(3x + ) (3x + ) (3(x + Δx) + ). (3(x + Δx) + )(3x + ) Cancelling the like terms 3x and, this simplifies to, This completes Step 1. f (x + Δx) f (x) = 3Δx. (3(x + Δx) + )(3x + ) Because of the factor Δx in the numerator of f (x + Δx) f (x), the difference quotient is, for Δx nonzero. This completes Step. f (x + Δx) f (x) 3 =, Δx (3(x + Δx) + )(3x + ) Considered as a function of Δx, is the expression ( 3)/(3x++3Δx)(3x+) defined and continuous at Δx = 0? The only values of Δx where the expression is undefined or discontinuous are the values where the denominator equals 0. By hypothesis, x is not /3, and thus 3x + is not zero. Therefore the denominator is 0 if and only if 3x + + 3Δx is 0. Thus the function ( 3)/(3x + + 3Δx)(3x + ) has a single infinite discontinuity when Δx equals x /3. Again using the hypothesis that x is not /3, x /3 does not equal 0. In other words, there is a single point where the function is undefined and discontinuous, but this point is different from Δx = 0. Therefore ( 3)/(3x + + 3Δx)(3x + ) is defined and continuous at Δx = 0. So the limit can be computed by substituting in 0 for Δx. Therefore the derivative of f (x) = 1/(3x + ) is, f 3 (x) = lim = Δx 0 (3x + + 3Δx)(3x + ) 3 3/(3x + ).
4 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 Solution (d) The function is defined when x is nonnegative and undefined when x is negative. Therefore assume that x is nonnegative, x 0. Substituting x + Δx for x gives, f (x + Δx) = (x + Δx). Please note this is defined if and only if x + Δx is nonnegative, i.e., Δx x. Also, as always, Δx is nonzero. To compute the difference, f (x + Δx) f (x) = (x + Δx) x, multiply and divide by the sum (x + Δx) + x, (x + Δx) + x f (x + Δx) f (x) = ( (x + Δx) x) (x + Δx) + x. Although at first glance this seems to make the expression more complicated, in fact the expression now simplifies. The numerator is of the form (a b)(a + b) for a = (x + Δx) and b = x. But (a b)(a + b) simplifies to a difference of squares, a b. Thus the expression simplifies to, ( (x + Δx)) ( x) (x + Δx) (x). (x + Δx) + = x (x + Δx) + x Cancelling the like term x, this simplifies to, Δx f (x + Δx) f (x) = (x + Δx) + x. This completes Step 1. Because of the factor Δx in the numerator of f (x + Δx) f (x), the difference quotient is, f (x + Δx) f (x) =, Δx (x + Δx) + x for Δx nonzero and satisfying Δx x. This completes Step. There are cases depending on whether x is positive or zero. First consider the case that x is zero. Then the difference quotient is,. Δx This expression has an infinite discontinuity as Δx approaches 0. Therefore the limit is undefined. Since the derivative is the limit of the difference quotient, f (x) is undefined for x = 0. 4
5 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 Next consider the case that x is positive. Considered as a function of Δx, for Δx x, the expression /( (x + Δx) + x) is defined and continuous as long as the denominator is nonzero. Since x is positive and (x + Δx) is nonnegative, the sum (x + Δx) + x is positive. Therefore the expression is defined and continuous at Δx = 0. So the limit can be computed by substituting in 0 for Δx. Therefore the derivative of f(x) = x for x > 0 is, 1 f (x) = lim = =. Δx 0 (x + Δx) + x x x To summarize, f (x) is undefined for x = 0 and f (x) = 1/ x for x > 0. Solution (e) The velocity of the first particle is, and the velocity of the second particle is, v 1 (t) = s 1(t) = t 6, v (t) = s (t) = 4t + 9, using the solution of Problem 1 of Section.3. Therefore the speed of the first particle is, { 6 t, t 3 v 1 (t) = t 6 = t 6, t > 3. and the speed of the second particle is, { v (t) = 4t + 9 = 9 4t, t 9/4 4t 9, t > 9/4. (a). There are 3 cases to consider: 0 t 9/4, 9/4 < t 3 and t > 3. In the first case, v 1 (t) equals v (t) if and only if, (6 t = 9 4t) if and only if (t = 3) if and only if (t = 3/). So for 0 t 9/4, the speeds are equal for precisely one moment, t = 3/. At this time, both speeds equal 3. Note, however, the velocity of the first particle is 3 and the velocity of the second particle is +3, i.e., the velocities are not equal. In the second case, v 1 (t) equals v (t) if and only if, (6 t = 4t 9) if and only if (6t = 15)if and only if (t = 15/6). Note that 15/6 = 5/ = 1 is between 9/4 = 1 and 3. So, for 9/4 < t 3, the speeds are equal 4 for precisely one moment, t = 5/. At this time, both speeds equal 1. 5
6 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 In the third case, v 1 (t) equals v (t) if and only if, (t 6 = 4t 9) if and only if (t = 3) if and only if (t = 3/). However, 3/ = 1 1 is less than 3. So for t > 9/4, the particles never have the same speed. In sum mary, for t 0 the two particles have equal speed at precisely two moments, t = 3/ and t = 5/. (b). The moment when the two particles have the same position is the solution of the equation, s 1 (t) = s (t), or equivalently t 6t = t + 9t, or equivalently 3t = 15t. The two solutions of this quadratic equation are t = 0 and t = 5. Now, v 1 (0) equals 0 6 = 6 and v (0) equals = 9. Also, v 1 (5) equals 5 6 = 4 and v (5) equals = 11. Thus, for t = 0, the particles have velocities, v 1 = 6 and v = 9. And, for t = 5, the particles have velocities = 4 and v = 11. v 1 Solution (f) The expression 6/(x 4) has an infinite discontinuity when the denominator equals 0. The denominator is 0 when x 4 = 0, or equivalently, x =. Therefore the limit, is undefined. 6 lim, x x 4 Solution (g) The expression (x + 3x)/(x x + 3) is defined and continuous so long as the denominator is nonzero. Plugging in 3 for x, the denominator equals, (3) (3) + 3 = 9, when x = 3. Since the denominator is nonzero, the limit exists and equals, x + 3x (3) + 3(3) 18 lim = = = x 3 x x + 3 (3) (3) Solution (h) The expression (x 4)/( x ) is undefined when x = 4, since the denominator is 0. However, by the same difference of squares technique from Solution (d), 1 1 x + x + = =, x x x + x 4 for x nonnegative and not 4. Therefore, for x nonnegative and not 4, x 4 x = x +. 6
7 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 The expression x + is defined and continuous for all nonnegative x. Therefore the limit is obtained by plugging in 4 for x; lim x 4 x 4 x = lim( x + ) = 4 + = x 4 4. Solution (i) By Rules 1 4 on pp , the derivative is, y = (3x ) + ( 5x) + () (Rule 4) = 3(x ) + ( 5)(x) + (1) (Rule 3) = 3(x) + ( 5)(1) + (0) (Rule and Rule 1) = 6x 5. Of course this is also a special case of Problem 1 from Section.3. At x =, the derivative is y = 6() 5 = 7. Therefore the equation of the tangent line is, (y 4) = 7(x ) or equivalently y = 7x 10. Solution (j) In the first method, the fraction is simplified to, Using Equation (3) on p. 90, the derivative is, 6 f (x) = x + 6x4 x = x 4 + 6x 1 x. x 5 f (x) = (x 4 ) + 6(x 1 ) (x) = ( 4x 5 ) + 6( x ) (1) = 8x 5 6x. Clearing denominators, the derivative is, f (x) = ( 8 6x 3 x 5 )/x 5. In the second method, expressing f (x) as a quotient, the quotient rule gives, Using Section 3.1, Therefore the quotient rule gives, 6 f (x) = g(x)/h(x), g(x) = x + 6x 4 x, h(x) = x 5, f (x) = g (x)h(x) g(x)h (x). h(x) 3 4 g (x) = + 4x 1x 5, h (x) = 5x. 4 f (x) = ( + 4x3 1x 5 )(x 5 ) (x + 6x x 6 )(5x 4 ). x 10 7
8 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 Expanding and simplifying, the numerator equals, x 8 x 10 (x 5 + 4x 1x 10 ) (10x x 10x 10 ) = 8x. Thus the quotient rule gives, 6x 8 x 10 f (x) = 8x5. x10 Factoring x 5 from numerator and denominator, this is, just as in the first method. Part II(30 points) f (x) = ( 8 6x 3 x 5 )/x 5, Problem 1(15 points) The derivative of f (x) = 1/x is f (x) = 1/x (for x nonzero). (a)(5 points) Show that for the tangent line to the graph of f (x) at (x 0, y 0 ), the x intercept of the line is x 0 and the y intercept of the line is y 0. Solution to (a) The equation of the tangent line is, (y y 0 ) = 1 (x x 0 ). x 0 The x intercept is the unique value x = x 1 for which y = 0. Plugging in x = x 1 and y = 0 gives the equation, 1 = (x1 x 0 ). Simplifying, this gives, Since x 0 y 0 equals 1, this simplifies to, y 0 x 0 x 1 = x 0 + x 0 y 0. x 1 = x 0 + x 0 (x 0 y 0 ) = x 0 + x 0 (1) = x 0. Similarly, the y intercept is the unique value y = y 1 for which x = 0. Plugging in x = 0 and y = y 1 gives the equation, 1 y 1 y 0 = 1 ( x0 ) =. x 0 x 0 Since 1/x 0 equals y 0, the equation is, y 1 y 0 = y 0. Solving, this gives, y 1 = y 0. 8
9 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 (b)(5 points) Part (a) implies the following: For every pair of real numbers (x 1, y 1 ), there is a tangent line to the graph of f (x) with x intercept x 1 and y intercept y 1 if and only if x 1 y 1 equals 4. You may use this fact freely. Let (a, b) be a point such that ab is nonzero and less than 1 (possibly negative). Show that a line L with x intercept x 1 and y intercept y 1 is a tangent line to the graph of f (x) containing (a, b) if and only if x 1 satisfies, bx 1 4x 1 + 4a = 0, and y 1 satisfies, ay 1 4y 1 + 4b = 0. Hint. Using Equations 1 5 on pp of the textbook, deduce that L contains (a, b) if and only if bx 1 + ay 1 equals x 1 y 1. Then use the fact above to eliminate one of x 1 or y 1 from this equation, and simplify. Solution to (b) The equation of the line L with x intercept x 1 and y intercept y 1 is, Therefore (a, b) is on L if and only if, x 1 y + y 1 x = x 1 y 1. First, substituting in y 1 = 4/x 1 to Equation 1 gives, bx 1 + ay 1 = x 1 y 1. (1) 4a bx 1 + = 4. x 1 Multiplying both sides by x 1 and simplifying gives, bx 1 4x a = 0. Next, substituting in x 1 = 4/y 1 to Equation 1 gives, 4b + ay1 = 4. y 1 Multiplying both sides by y 1 and simplifying gives, ay1 4y b = 0. (c)(5 points) Using the quadratic formula and Part (b), which you may now use freely, write down the equations of the tangent lines to the graph of f (x) containing the point (a, b) = (5, 3). Solution to (c) Plugging in a = 5 and b = 3 to the equation bx 1 4x 1 + 4a = 0 gives, 3x 1 4x = 0. 9
10 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 By the quadratic formula, the solutions are, Simplifying, this gives, x 1 = 4 ( 3) ± 1 ( 4) 4( 3)(0). ( 3) x 1 = 3 ± 1 56 = 6 3 ± 16 6 = ± 8. 3 Thus the solutions are x 1 = 6/3 = and x 1 = 10/3. Since y 1 = 4/x, the corresponding solutions of y 1 are y 1 = and y 1 = 6/5. Since the equation of L is y 1 x + x 1 y = x 1 y 1, the equations of the tangent lines containing (5, 3) are, x + y = 4 6 x + 10 y = Simplifying, the equations of the tangent lines containing (5, 3) are, x + y = and 9 x + 5y = 30. Problem (10 points) For a mass moving vertically under constant acceleration g, the displacement function is, x(t) = gt / + v 0 t + x 0, where x 0 is the displacement and v 0 is the instantaneous velocity at time t = 0. A scientist uses a magnetic field to conduct an experiment simulating zero gravity. At time t = 0, the scientist drops a mass from a height of 10m with instantaneous velocity v 0 = 0 under constant acceleration 10m/s. When the mass drops below height 5m, the field is switched on and the particle continues to move with new acceleration 0m/s. Assuming the displacement and velocity are continuous, determine the height and instantaneous velocity of the mass at time t = 1.s. Show your work. Solution to Problem Before the field is switched on, the displacement function is, Differentiating, the velocity function is, x(t) = 10t / + 0t + 10 = 5t v(t) = x (t) = 10t. The time t 1 at which the field is switched on is the positive solution of the equation x(t 1 ) = 5. Plugging in and solving gives, 5 = 5t or equivalently 5t 1 = 5 or equivalently t =
11 Due by :00pm sharp Fall 005 Friday, Sept. 16, 005 Therefore the field is activated at time t 1 = 1s. The displacement function for t > t 1 is, x(t) = g 1 (t t 1 ) / + v 1 (t t 1 ) + x 1, where g 1 is the new acceleration, v 1 is the instantaneous velocity at time t = t 1, and x 1 is the displacement at time t = t 1. At time t 1, the displacement is x 1 = 5 and the instantaneous velocity is v(t 1 ) = 10(1) = 10. For t > t 1, the particle moves with acceleration g 1 = 0. Thus the displacement function is, Plugging in t = 1.s gives, x(t) = 0(t 1) + ( 10)(t 1) + 5 = 10t x(1.) = 10(1.) + 15 = = 3m. Problem 3(5 points) For a differentiable function f (x) and a real number a, using the difference quotient definition of the derivative, show that the function g(x) = f (ax) has derivative, Solution to Problem 3 Plugging in, g (x) = af (ax). g(x + Δx) g(x) = f (a(x + Δx)) f (ax) = f (ax + aδx) f (ax). Thus the difference quotient for g(x) is, g(x + Δx) g(x) Δx By definition of the derivative, Now, for an expression E(Δx) involving Δx, f (ax + aδx) f (ax) =. Δx g (x) = lim g(x + Δx) g(x). Δx 0 Δx lim E(Δx) = lim E(Δx). Δx Δx 0 aδx aδx 0 Applying this to the limit above, and using that a(0) equals 0, g f (ax + aδx) f (ax) f (ax + aδx) f (ax) a (x) = lim = lim = aδx 0 Δx aδx 0 Δx a f (ax + aδx) f (ax) a lim. Substituting h = aδx, this is, aδx 0 aδx g (x) = a lim f (ax + h) f (ax). h 0 h This limit is precisely the derivative of f (x) at the point ax. Therefore, g (x) = af (ax). 11
