. Compute the following integrals. x (a) x x + dx Let u = x x + = x / +, so that du = x/ dx, so x dx = du. Then x x x + dx = du u = log u + C = log(x x + ) + C. (b) tan(x) dx Let u = cos(x), so that du = sin(x) dx. Then tan(x) dx = du u = log cos(x) + C. π/ (c) sin x + cos x dx π/ Note that sin x and cos x are odd and even functions of x respectively. Therefore π/ π/ sin x + cos x dx = π/ cos x dx = [sin x] π/ =.. Consider the function f(x) = e /x. (a) Is f even, odd or neither? Since f is neither even nor odd. f( x) = e /x = /f(x) ±f(x), (b) Find all local extrema, points of inflection, and horizontal and vertical asymptotes of the graph of f. 8 As x ±, /x, so f(x), so there is a horizontal asymptote at y =. The only gap in the domain is at. As x +, /x, so f(x), so x = is a vertical asymptote. As x, /x, so f(x). For local extrema, we calculate f (x) = x e/x <, so there are no local extrema as the function decreases on both branches (, ) and (, ). Now ( f (x) = x + ) x e /x = + x x e /x,
so f (x) vanishes at x = /, is negative for x < / and positive otherwise. There is a point of inflection at x = /. (c) Sketch the graph of f, showing all the features you found in (b). - - - - - (d) Write a formula for f (y). If y = f(x) = e /x, then log y = /x, so x = /log y. Thus f (y) = log y.. (a) Give the definition of a x, where a > and x is real but not necessarily rational. You should use the exponential and/or natural logarithm functions in your answer. a x = exp(x log a) = e x log a. (b) Let f be a continuous function on [a, b]. Let P be the partition a = x < x < x < < x n < x n = b. Let x i be the length of the ith subinterval, that is, x i = x i x i. Give the definition of U f (P ), the upper sum for f on the partition P. U f (P ) = M x + M x + + M n x n,
where M i = max{f(x) : x i x x i } is the maximum value of f on the ith subinterval of P. (c) Answer true or false to each statement. No justification is required. (i) Let f be continuous on [a, b]. Then for all partitions P of [a, b] we have L f (P ) b a f(x) dx U f (P ). True (by definition of the integral). (ii) If a function f is concave down, then it is decreasing. False, for example: f(x) = x. (iii) Let f be continuous on (a, b) and let c (a, b). If f (x) + as x c, then the graph of f has a vertical tangent at c. True (by definition of a vertical tangent). (iv) If f is differentiable and one-to-one on (a, b), then the inverse function f is differentiable everywhere in its domain. True (by a theorem from class).. Consider the region R bounded by the curves y = x and y = x. (a) Find the area A of the region R. The curves intersect where x = x, i.e. x =,. The area is A = (x x ) dx = [ x ] x =. (b) Find the coordinates (x, y) of the centroid of R. 6 We have and Thus x = / and y = /. xa = ya = x (x x ) dx = (x x 6 ) dx =. (c) Using Pappus theorem or otherwise, find the volume obtained by revolving R around the line x =.
Since the region is entirely to the right of the line, and the distance from the centroid to the line is / ( ) = /, the volume is V = π = π.. In this question, consider a hemispherical bowl of radius inches. (a) Find a formula for V (h), the volume (in cubic inches) of the water in the bowl when the bowl is 8 filled to a depth of h inches. The bowl is obtained by revolving the semicircle x + (y ) = 9, y around the y-axis. Using the disk method, V (h) = h π(9 (y ) ) dy = π [9y y ] h = π [9h h ]. (b) The bowl has a small hole in the bottom and is leaking water at a rate of cubic inch per minute. 7 How quickly is the depth of the water in the bowl decreasing when the depth is inch? By the chain rule, dv dt = dv dh dh dt = π(6h h ) dh dt. At the relevant point, = dv/dt = π(6 ) dh/dt and so dh/dt = /π, so the depth is decreasing at /π inches per minute. 6. (a) A sum of $ is kept in a savings account which earns continuously compounded interest at the rate of 6% per year. (i) What is the balance of the account after year? In the notation from class, A(t) = A() e rt, so the balance in dollars is A() = e.6. (ii) How many years from the initial deposit will it take for the balance to reach $? We want to find t satisfying = A(t) = e.6t, so t = (log )/.6 years is how long it will take. (b) Consider the function f(x) = + t dt.
(i) Show that f is one-to-one. What is the range of f? By the first fundamental theorem of calculus, f (x) = + x >, so f is increasing, hence one-to-one. The range of f is the domain of f, namely R. (ii) Calculate (f ) (). Since f() =, f () =, so (f ) () = f () = + =. 7. (a) Consider the function f whose graph is depicted below. 8 y y = f(x) 6 x Sketch the graph of the function g(x) = f(t) dt, showing all local extrema and points of inflection. y local maximum y = g(x) point of inflection 6 local minimum x (b) The position of a particle P moving on a circle is described by an angle θ(t) which depends on time t. Suppose that θ (t) = sin(t/a), where a > is a constant. Suppose also that θ () = a and θ() =. (i) Find a formula for the angle θ(t) at time t.
P θ(t) Integrating, θ (t) = a cos(t/a) + C for some constant C. Since θ () = a, C =. Integrating again, θ(t) = a sin(t/a) + D for some constant D. Since θ() =, D =. Therefore θ(t) = a sin(t/a). (ii) For which values of a does the particle P eventually visit every point on the circle? For this to happen, we need the range of θ to cover every angle on the circle, that is, a full range of π radians. Since the range of θ is [ a, a ], this happens iff a π, i.e., a π. 8. Important: For question 8, answer EITHER part 8(a) OR part 8(b). [Your score for question 8 will be the greater of your 8(a) score and your 8(b) score.] EITHER: (a) Suppose f is a function with domain ( π, π ). Suppose also that, for all x, f (x) + f(x) =. (i) Show that f (x) cos x + f(x) sin x ] =. dx f (x) cos x + f(x) sin x ] = f (x) cos x f (x) sin x + f (x) sin x + f(x) cos(x) dx = [f (x) + f(x)] cos x =. (ii) Hence prove that ] f(x) sec x = C sec x ( ) dx for some constant C. Integrating the result in (i), f (x) cos x + f(x) sin x = C 6
for some constant C. Multiplying by sec x, f (x) sec x + f(x) sec x tan x = C sec x. Now observe that the left-hand side is d dx[ f(x) sec x ]. (iii) By taking indefinite integrals of both sides of ( ), prove that 6 for some constant D. Integrating ( ), f(x) = C sin x + D cos x f(x) sec x = C tan x + D for some constant D. Multiplying both sides by cos x, we get the result. OR: (b) Let f be a nonnegative continuous function and a, b nonnegative constants. Suppose that, for all x, f(x) a + b f(t) dt. ( ) (i) Let g(x) = f(t) dt. Show that g (x) a + b g(x) for all x. By the first fundamental theorem of calculus, for all x where the inequality follows from ( ). g (x) = f(x) a + b g(x) (ii) Show that g(t) e bt ] = ( g (t) b g(t) ) e bt. dt g(t) e bt ] = g (t) e bt + g(t) ( be bt ) = ( g (t) b g(t) ) e bt. dt (iii) Using the results of (i) and (ii), show that for all t. g(t) e bt ] a e bt. ( ) dt By (ii) and then (i), g(t) e bt ] = ( g (t) b g(t) ) e bt (a + b g(t) b g(t)) e bt = a e bt. dt 7
(iv) By integrating both sides of ( ) from to x, show that for all x, g(x) e bx a b [ e bx + ]. Since the integral is order-preserving, by integrating ( ) from to x we get g(x) e bx g() a e bt dt = a b [ e bx + ]. Now observe that g() = by definition of g, and we get the result. (v) Deduce from (iv) and ( ) that, for all x, f(x) a e bx. For any x, by ( ), f(x) a + bg(x) a + be bx a b [ e bx + ], where the second inequality follows from (iv). The right-hand side simplifies as a a+a e bx = a e bx, whence the result follows. 8
