Integrating, we get B k+ ( x) =( ) k+ B k+ (x)+c. But the constant of integration must be, since if we substitute x =in the equation, we get B k+ () = ( ) k+ B k+ () + C, and if we substitute x =we get B k+ () = ( ) k+ B k+ () + C, and these two equations together imply that B k+ () = ( ) k+ ( ) k+ B k+ () + C + C = B k+ () + C C =. o the equation holds for all n, by induction. Now if the power of is odd, then we have B n+ ( x) = B n+ (x). In particular, B n+ () = B n+ (). But from part (b), we know that B k () = B k () for k>.

CHLLENGE PROBLEM 9 (g) For k =: B (x +) B (x) =x + x =,and x! =, so the equation holds for k =.Wenow assume that B n (x +) B n (x) = [B n (x +) B n (x)] dx = xn. We integrate this equation with respect to x: (n )! x n dx. But we can evaluate the LH using the (n )! definition B n+ (x) = B n (x) dx, and the RH is a simple integral. The equation becomes B n+ (x +) B n+ (x) = (n )! n xn = n! xn, since by part (b) B n+ () B n+ () =, andsothe constant of integration must vanish. o the equation holds for all k, by induction. (h) The result from part (g) implies that p k = k![b k+ (p +) B k+ (p)]. If we sum both sides of this equation from n n p =to p = n (note that k is fixed in this process), we get p k = k!

CHLLENGE PROBLEM E Exercises Chapter 6. The volume generated from x =to x = b is b π [f (x)] dx. Hence, we are given that b = b π [f (x)] dx for all b>. Differentiating both sides of this equation using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus gives b = π [f (b)] f (b) = b/π,sincef is positive. Therefore, f (x) = x/π. E Exercises Chapter. (a) ince the smaller circle rolls without slipping around C, the amount of arc traversed on C (rθ in the figure) must equal the amount of arc of the smaller circle that has been in contact with C. ince the smaller circle has radius r, it must have turned through an angle of rθ/r =θ. In addition to turning through an angle θ, the little circle has rolled through an angle θ against C. Thus, P has turned through an angle of 3θ asshowninthe figure. (If the little circle had turned through an angle of θ with its center pinned to the x-axis, then P would have turned only θ instead of 3θ. The movement of the little circle around C adds θ to the angle.) From the figure, we see that the center of the small circle has coordinates (3r cos θ, 3r sin θ). Thus, P has coordinates (x, y), wherex = 3r cos θ + b cos 3θ and y =3rsin θ + b sin 3θ. (b) b = 5 r b = 5 r b = 3 5 r b = 4 5 r (c) The diagram gives an alternate description of point P on the epitrochoid. Q moves around a circle of radius b,andp rotates one-third as fast with respect to Q at a distance of 3r. Place an equilateral triangle with sides of length 3 3 r so that its centroid is at Q and one vertex is at P. (The distance from the centroid to a vertex is 3 times the length of a side of the equilateral triangle.) s θ increases by π,thepointq travels once around the circle of radius b, 3 returning to its original position. t the same time, P (and the rest of the triangle) rotate through an angle of π 3 about Q,soP s position is occupied by another vertex. In this way, we see that the epitrochoid traced out by P is simultaneously traced out by the other two vertices as well. The whole equilateral triangle sits inside the epitrochoid (touching it only with its vertices) and each vertex traces out the curve once while the centroid moves around the circle three times.
CHLLENGE PROBLEM (d) We view the epitrochoid as being traced out in the same way as in part (c), by a rotor for which the distance from its center to each vertex is 3r, so it has radius 6r. To show that the rotor fits inside the epitrochoid, it suffices to show that for any position of the tracing point P, there are no points on the opposite side of the rotor which are outside the epitrochoid. But the most likely case of intersection is when P is on the y-axis,soaslongasthediameteroftherotor(whichis3 3 r)is less than the distance between the y-intercepts, the rotor will fit. The y-intercepts occur when θ = π or θ = 3π y = ±(3r b), so the distance between the intercepts is 6r b, and the rotor will fit if3 3r 6r b b 3( 3) r. E Exercises Chapter.
