B P Calculus Free-Response Solutions and Notes Question B- W() W(9) 67.9 6.8 =.7 degrees/minute. The average 9 9 rate of change of the temperature of the water in degrees Fahrenheit per minute from t = 9 to t = minutes is.7. This approximates W, the (a) W ( ) instantaneous rate of change of the temperature at t = minutes, indicating that the temperature is increasing at approximately.7 degrees Fahrenheit per minute at that time. () ( ) ( ) (b) W t dt = W W = 7.. = 6. degrees. This is the net change ( ) in temperature of the water in degrees Fahrenheit from to minutes. 4. 7. 6 6.8 67.9 (c) W () t dt ( + + + ) 6.79 =. This value underestimates the average temperature of the water, because a left Riemann sum for an integral of an increasing function underestimates the integral. (d) ( ) () ( ) W = W + W t dt 7. +.4 = 7.4 degrees Fahrenheit.. It is important to mention the units both for the variable t (minutes) and the temperature (degrees Fahrenheit).

Store this number in your calculator, and use the stored value in the subsequent calculations.. Or: ( ) ( ) e. ln x dx+ x dx=.988 simpler equation results from integrating with respect to y: ( y e B y) dy y ( ) y e dy B y y = or ( y e ) dy = ( y e ) dy where B =.,

(c) The graph of g has horizontal tangents where g ( x) = f( x) =, namely at x = and x =. gx ( ) has a relative maximum at x = because g ( x) changes sign from positive to negative there. gx ( ) has neither a relative maximum nor a relative minimum at g x does not change sign there. x = because ( ) (d) The graph of g has three points of inflection, at x =, x =, and x =, because g ( x) changes from increasing to decreasing at x = and at x =, and from decreasing to increasing at x =.. When evaluating definite integrals of functions defined by geometric figures, it might be easier to wor from left to right.. n alternative justification involves relating the sign change in g ( x) from positive to negative at x = and at x = and from negative to positive at x =.

The tangent line is y 4 ( x ) (c) By definition, g is continuous at ( ) ( ) x ( ) lim g x = lim f x = f ( ) 4 x lim g x x x = if lim g( x) = g( ). x = and lim g( x) lim ( x ) + + x x = + 7 = 4. Therefore, exists and is equal to 4 = f( ) = g( ). So g is continuous at x =. ( ) x = ( ) =. (d) / ( ) / x x dx= ( x ) ( x) dx=. Or use more formal u-substitution u = x du, x dx =, du xdx =.
FREE-RESPONSE SOLUTIONS ~ B 7 Question B- db (a) When B = 4, 6 dt = =, and when B = 7, db = = 6. Therefore, the dt bird is gaining weight faster when it weighs 4 grams than when it weighs 7 grams. d B d db dt dt dt. For db < B <, <, so the graph of B must be concave down, but the graph in the dt picture is not. (b) = ( B) = = ( B) = ( B) (c) (c) get e db = dt B ln B = t+ C. Substituting (, ) we ln ( 8) = C ln B = t ln(8) ln B = ln(8) t B ln(8) = e B 8e t = t B = 8e. ln t. Since B >, B = B.

This approximates f ( ) f (.4 ), so (c) f (.) + 8. = 6.6 and f (.4) 6.6 +. 4 = 9. T ( x) = + 8 x + x. (d) The second-degree Taylor polynomial is ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) T (.4) = + 8.4 +.4 9.8. Can stop here.. It would be incorrect to write: ( ) =. Thus, ( ) f.4 9.8. f.4 = 8., with an equal sign such an error is usually penalized.. You could leave it as f.4 + (. +. ). Either way, not f (.4) =... ( ) with an equal sign. 4. Can stop here; either way not f (.4) =.... gain, do not use the equal sign here. Question BC- See B Question.

Both at x = and at n + x = the series is an alternating series whose terms decrease in absolute value to, so both these series converge by the alternating series test. Therefore, the interval of convergence is x. The alternating series error bound guarantees that the sum of the first two terms differs from g by the next non-zero term of the series, which is = <. 7 4 4 n n n+ x +... + +... 7 n + (c) The series is ( ) ( ) x x
