Word from the Authors Welcome to the Fifth Edition of Calculus of a Single Variable: Early Transcendental Functions! We are proud to offer you a new and revised version of our textbook. With each edition we have listened to you, our users, and have incorporated many of your suggestions for improvement.

3rd 5th

4th

Throughout the years, our objective has always been to write in a precise, readable manner with the fundamental concepts and rules of calculus clearly defined and demonstrated. When writing for students, we strive to offer features and materials that enable mastery by all types of learners. For the instructors, we aim to provide a comprehensive teaching instrument that employs proven pedagogical techniques, freeing instructors to make the most efficient use of classroom time. This revision brings us to a new level of change and improvement. For the past several years, we’ve maintained an independent website —CalcChat.com— that provides free solutions to all odd-numbered exercises in the text. Thousands of students using our textbooks have visited the site for practice and help with their homework. With the Fifth Edition, we were able to use information from CalcChat.com, including which solutions students accessed most often, to help guide the revision of the exercises. This edition of Calculus of a Single Variable: Early Transcendental Functions is one of the first calculus textbooks to use actual data from students to inform the revision. We have also added a new feature called Capstone exercises to this edition. These conceptual problems synthesize key topics and provide students with a better understanding of each section’s concepts. Capstone exercises are excellent for classroom discussion or test prep, and instructors may find value in integrating these problems into their review of the section. These and other new features join our time-tested pedagogy, with the goal of enabling students and instructors to make the best use of this text. We hope you will enjoy the Fifth Edition of Calculus of a Single Variable: Early Transcendental Functions. As always, we welcome comments and suggestions for continued improvements.

New to this Edition

• Exercise sets have been thoroughly reviewed and carefully revised, based on usage data derived from CalcChat.com. Twenty percent of the exercises have been revised to reflect current data and events, and to maintain the same quality and standards you have come to expect of a Larson/Edwards’ Calculus text. • Capstone exercises, multipart problems that contain conceptual and noncomputational parts, synthesize the main concepts of each section and show students how topics relate. These exercises are excellent for classroom discussion, homework review, or test preparation. Teaching strategies for incorporating them into the course are included in the Instructor’s Resource Manual.

STUDY TIPS

The devil is often in the details. Study Tips help point out some of the troublesome common mistakes, indicate special cases that can cause confusion, or expand on important concepts. These tips provide students with valuable information, similar to what an instructor might comment on in class.

STUDY TIP Because integration is usually more difficult than differentiation, you should always check your answer to an integration problem by differentiating. For instance, in Example 4 you should differentiate 132x  13 2  C to verify that you obtain the original integrand. STUDY TIP Later in this chapter, you will learn convenient methods for b calculating a f x dx for continuous functions. For now, you must use the you definition. can STUDY TIP Remember thatlimit check your answer by differentiating.

In 2006, China surpassed the United States as the world’s biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. Given the carbon dioxide concentrations in the ■ atmosphere for several years, can older mathematical models still accurately predict future atmospheric concentrations compared with more recent models? (See Section 1.1, Example 6.)

Mathematical models are commonly used to describe data sets. These models can be represented by many different types of functions, such as linear, quadratic, cubic, rational, and trigonometric functions. (See Section 1.4.)

The Graph of an Equation

RENÉ DESCARTES (1596–1650) Descartes made many contributions to philosophy, science, and mathematics. The idea of representing points in the plane by pairs of real numbers and representing curves in the plane by equations was described by Descartes in his book La Géométrie, published in 1637.

In 1637, the French mathematician René Descartes revolutionized the study of mathematics by joining its two major fields—algebra and geometry. With Descartes’s coordinate plane, geometric concepts could be formulated analytically and algebraic concepts could be viewed graphically. The power of this approach is such that within a century, much of calculus had been developed. The same approach can be followed in your study of calculus. That is, by viewing calculus from multiple perspectives—graphically, analytically, and numerically— you will increase your understanding of core concepts. Consider the equation 3x  y  7. The point 2, 1 is a solution point of the equation because the equation is satisfied (is true) when 2 is substituted for x and 1 is substituted for y. This equation has many other solutions, such as 1, 4 and 0, 7. To find other solutions systematically, solve the original equation for y. y  7  3x

From the table, you can see that 0, 7, 1, 4, 2, 1, 3, 2, and 4, 5 are solutions of the original equation 3x  y  7. Like many equations, this equation has an infinite number of solutions. The set of all solution points is the graph of the equation, as shown in Figure 1.1.

Graphs and Models

One disadvantage of point plotting is that to get a good idea about the shape of a graph, you may need to plot many points. With only a few points, you could misrepresent the graph. For instance, suppose that to sketch the graph of y

 10x2  x 4

you plotted only five points:

3, 3, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, and 3, 3 as shown in Figure 1.3(a). From these five points, you might conclude that the graph is a line. This, however, is not correct. By plotting several more points, you can see that the graph is more complicated, as shown in Figure 1.3(b). y y

What types of things do you think an analytic approach might involve? For instance, does the graph have symmetry? Does the graph have turns? If so, where are they? As you proceed through Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of this text, you will study many new analytic tools that will help you analyze graphs of equations such as these.

From the screen on the left, you might assume that the graph is a line. From the screen on the right, however, you can see that the graph is not a line. So, whether you are sketching a graph by hand or using a graphing utility, you must realize that different “viewing windows” can produce very different views of a graph. In choosing a viewing window, your goal is to show a view of the graph that fits well in the context of the problem. 5

Chapter 1

Preparation for Calculus

Intercepts of a Graph Two types of solution points that are especially useful in graphing an equation are those having zero as their x- or y-coordinate. Such points are called intercepts because they are the points at which the graph intersects the x- or y-axis. The point a, 0 is an x-intercept of the graph of an equation if it is a solution point of the equation. To find the x-intercepts of a graph, let y be zero and solve the equation for x. The point 0, b is a y-intercept of the graph of an equation if it is a solution point of the equation. To find the y-intercepts of a graph, let x be zero and solve the equation for y. NOTE Some texts denote the x-intercept as the x-coordinate of the point a, 0 rather than the point itself. Unless it is necessary to make a distinction, we will use the term intercept to mean either the point or the coordinate. ■

It is possible for a graph to have no intercepts, or it might have several. For instance, consider the four graphs shown in Figure 1.5. y

Symmetry of a Graph Knowing the symmetry of a graph before attempting to sketch it is useful because you need only half as many points to sketch the graph. The following three types of symmetry can be used to help sketch the graphs of equations (see Figure 1.7).

(x, y)

(−x, y)

x

1. A graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis if, whenever x, y is a point on the graph, x, y is also a point on the graph. This means that the portion of the graph to the left of the y-axis is a mirror image of the portion to the right of the y-axis. 2. A graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis if, whenever x, y is a point on the graph, x, y is also a point on the graph. This means that the portion of the graph above the x-axis is a mirror image of the portion below the x-axis. 3. A graph is symmetric with respect to the origin if, whenever x, y is a point on the graph, x, y is also a point on the graph. This means that the graph is unchanged by a rotation of 180 about the origin.

TESTS FOR SYMMETRY 1. The graph of an equation in x and y is symmetric with respect to the y-axis if replacing x by x yields an equivalent equation. 2. The graph of an equation in x and y is symmetric with respect to the x-axis if replacing y by y yields an equivalent equation. 3. The graph of an equation in x and y is symmetric with respect to the origin if replacing x by x and y by y yields an equivalent equation.

Apago PDF Enhancer The graph of a polynomial has symmetry with respect to the y-axis if each term

has an even exponent (or is a constant). For instance, the graph of y  2x 4  x 2  2 has symmetry with respect to the y-axis. Similarly, the graph of a polynomial has symmetry with respect to the origin if each term has an odd exponent, as illustrated in Example 3.

Figure 1.9 TECHNOLOGY Graphing utilities are designed so that they most easily graph equations in which y is a function of x (see Section 1.3 for a definition of function). To graph other types of equations, you need to split the graph into two or more parts or you need to use a different graphing mode. For instance, to graph the equation in Example 4, you can split it into two parts.

Points of Intersection A point of intersection the graphs of two equations is a point that satisfies both Apago PDF ofEnhancer equations. You can find the point(s) of intersection of two graphs by solving their equations simultaneously.

EXAMPLE 5 Finding Points of Intersection Find all points of intersection of the graphs of x 2  y  3 and x  y  1. y 2

Solution Begin by sketching the graphs of both equations on the same rectangular coordinate system, as shown in Figure 1.10. Having done this, it appears that the graphs have two points of intersection. You can find these two points, as follows.

Graphs and Models

Mathematical Models Real-life applications of mathematics often use equations as mathematical models. In developing a mathematical model to represent actual data, you should strive for two (often conflicting) goals—accuracy and simplicity. That is, you want the model to be simple enough to be workable, yet accurate enough to produce meaningful results. Section 1.4 explores these goals more completely.

EXAMPLE 6 Comparing Two Mathematical Models

The Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii records the carbon dioxide concentration y (in parts per million) in Earth’s atmosphere. The January readings for various years are shown in Figure 1.11. In the July 1990 issue of Scientific American, these data were used to predict the carbon dioxide level in Earth’s atmosphere in the year 2035. The article used the quadratic model y  316.2  0.70t  0.018t 2

NOTE The models in Example 6 were developed using a procedure called least squares regression (see Section 13.9). The quadratic and linear models have correlations given by r 2  0.997 and r 2  0.994, respectively. The closer r 2 is to 1, the “better” the model.

Quadratic model

So, the prediction in the Scientific American article was that the carbon dioxide concentration in Earth’s atmosphere would reach about 470 parts per million in the year 2035. Using the linear model for the 1980–2007 data, the prediction for the year 2035 is y  304.1  1.6475  427.1.

Linear model

So, based on the linear model for 1980–2007, it appears that the 1990 prediction was too high. ■

Linear Models and Rates of Change ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Find the slope of a line passing through two points. Write the equation of a line given a point and the slope. Interpret slope as a ratio or as a rate in a real-life application. Sketch the graph of a linear equation in slope-intercept form. Write equations of lines that are parallel or perpendicular to a given line.

The Slope of a Line y

The slope of a nonvertical line is a measure of the number of units the line rises (or falls) vertically for each unit of horizontal change from left to right. Consider the two points x1, y1 and x2, y2 on the line in Figure 1.12. As you move from left to right along this line, a vertical change of

Figure 1.13 shows four lines: one has a positive slope, one has a slope of zero, one has a negative slope, and one has an “undefined” slope. In general, the greater the absolute value of the slope of a line, the steeper the line is. For instance, in Figure 1.13, the line with a slope of 5 is steeper than the line with a slope of 15. y

Use your results to write an equation of a line passing through 1, 4 with a slope of m.

You can write an equation of a nonvertical line if you know the slope of the line and the coordinates of one point on the line. Suppose the slope is m and the point is x1, y1. If x, y is any other point on the line, then y  y1  m. x  x1 This equation, involving the two variables x and y, can be rewritten in the form y  y1  mx  x1, which is called the point-slope form of the equation of a line.

Ratios and Rates of Change The slope of a line can be interpreted as either a ratio or a rate. If the x- and y-axes have the same unit of measure, the slope has no units and is a ratio. If the x- and y-axes have different units of measure, the slope is a rate or rate of change. In your study of calculus, you will encounter applications involving both interpretations of slope.

Linear Models and Rates of Change

Graphing Linear Models Many problems in analytic geometry can be classified in two basic categories: (1) Given a graph, what is its equation? and (2) Given an equation, what is its graph? The point-slope equation of a line can be used to solve problems in the first category. However, this form is not especially useful for solving problems in the second category. The form that is better suited to sketching the graph of a line is the slopeintercept form of the equation of a line. SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM OF THE EQUATION OF A LINE The graph of the linear equation y  mx  b is a line having a slope of m and a y-intercept at 0, b.

Because b  2, the y-intercept is 0, 2. Because the slope is m  0, you know that the line is horizontal, as shown in Figure 1.18(b). c. Begin by writing the equation in slope-intercept form.

and

Because these lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, they must be perpendicular. In Figure 1.21(a), however, the lines don’t appear to be perpendicular because the tick-mark spacing on the x-axis is not the same as that on the y-axis. In Figure 1.21(b), the lines appear perpendicular because the tick-mark spacing on the x-axis is the same as on the y-axis. This type of viewing window is said to have a square setting. 10

Functions and Function Notation A relation between two sets X and Y is a set of ordered pairs, each of the form x, y, where x is a member of X and y is a member of Y. A function from X to Y is a relation between X and Y having the property that any two ordered pairs with the same x-value also have the same y-value. The variable x is the independent variable, and the variable y is the dependent variable. Many real-life situations can be modeled by functions. For instance, the area A of a circle is a function of the circle’s radius r. A  r2

A is a function of r.

In this case r is the independent variable and A is the dependent variable.

DEFINITION OF A REAL-VALUED FUNCTION OF A REAL VARIABLE f Range y = f (x) Y

A real-valued function f of a real variable x Figure 1.22

Let X and Y be sets of real numbers. A real-valued function f of a real variable x from X to Y is a correspondence that assigns to each number x in X exactly one number y in Y. The domain of f is the set X. The number y is the image of x under f and is denoted by f x, which is called the value of f at x. The range of f is a subset of Y and consists of all images of numbers in X (see Figure 1.22).

Functions can be specified in a variety of ways. In this text, however, we will concentrate primarily on functions that are given by equations involving the dependent and independent variables. For instance, the equation x 2  2y  1 FUNCTION NOTATION The word function was first used by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1694 as a term to denote any quantity connected with a curve, such as the coordinates of a point on a curve or the slope of a curve. Forty years later, Leonhard Euler used the word function to describe any expression made up of a variable and some constants. He introduced the notation y  f x.

Equation in implicit form

defines y, the dependent variable, as a function of x, the independent variable. To evaluate this function (that is, to find the y-value that corresponds to a given x-value), it is convenient to isolate y on the left side of the equation. 1 y  1  x 2 2

Equation in explicit form

Using f as the name of the function, you can write this equation as 1 f x  1  x 2. 2

Function notation

The original equation, x 2  2y  1, implicitly defines y as a function of x. When you solve the equation for y, you are writing the equation in explicit form. Function notation has the advantage of clearly identifying the dependent variable as f x while at the same time telling you that x is the independent variable and that the function itself is “f.” The symbol f x is read “f of x.” Function notation allows you to be less wordy. Instead of asking “What is the value of y that corresponds to x  3?” you can ask, “What is f 3?”

In an equation that defines a function, the role of the variable x is simply that of a placeholder. For instance, the function given by f x  2x 2  4x  1 can be described by the form f 䊏  2䊏  4䊏  1 2

where parentheses are used instead of x. To evaluate f 2, simply place 2 in each set of parentheses. f 2  222  42  1  24  8  1  17

Classifications and Combinations of Functions

Michael Nicholson/Corbis

The modern notion of a function is derived from the efforts of many seventeenth- and eighteenth-century mathematicians. Of particular note was Leonhard Euler, to whom we are indebted for the function notation y  f x. By the end of the eighteenth century, mathematicians and scientists had concluded that many real-world phenomena could be represented by mathematical models taken from a collection of functions called elementary functions. Elementary functions fall into three categories. 1. Algebraic functions (polynomial, radical, rational) 2. Trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, and so on) 3. Exponential and logarithmic functions You can review the trigonometric functions in Appendix C. The other nonalgebraic functions, such as the inverse trigonometric functions and the exponential and logarithmic functions, are introduced in Sections 1.5 and 1.6. The most common type of algebraic function is a polynomial function

LEONHARD EULER (1707–1783) In addition to making major contributions to almost every branch of mathematics, Euler was one of the first to apply calculus to real-life problems in physics. His extensive published writings include such topics as shipbuilding, acoustics, optics, astronomy, mechanics, and magnetism.

f x  an x n  an1x n1  . . .  a 2 x 2  a 1 x  a 0 where n is a nonnegative integer. The numbers ai are coefficients, with an the leading coefficient and a0 the constant term of the polynomial function. If an  0, then n is the degree of the polynomial function. The zero polynomial f x  0 is not assigned a degree. It is common practice to use subscript notation for coefficients of general polynomial functions, but for polynomial functions of low degree, the following simpler forms are often used. Note that a  0. Zeroth degree: f x  a Apago PDFf x Enhancer First degree:  ax  b

Whether the graph of f x  an x n  an1x n1  . . .  a 2 x 2  a1x  a 0 eventually rises or falls can be determined by the function’s degree (odd or even) and by the leading coefficient an, as indicated in Figure 1.29.

Just as a rational number can be written as the quotient of two integers, a rational function can be written as the quotient of two polynomials. Specifically, a function f is rational if it has the form f x 

px , qx

qx  0

where px and qx are polynomials. Polynomial functions and rational functions are examples of algebraic functions. An algebraic function of x is one that can be expressed as a finite number of sums, differences, multiples, quotients, and radicals involving x n. For example, f x  x  1 is algebraic. Functions that are not algebraic are transcendental. For instance, the trigonometric functions are transcendental. Two functions can be combined in various ways to create new functions. For example, given f x  2x  3 and gx  x 2  1, you can form the functions shown.

 f  gx  f x  gx  2x  3  x 2  1  f  gx  f x  gx  2x  3  x 2  1  fgx  f xgx  2x  3x 2  1 f x 2x  3  f gx   2 gx x 1

In Section 1.1, an x-intercept of a graph was defined to be a point a, 0 at which the graph crosses the x-axis. If the graph represents a function f, the number a is a zero of f. In other words, the zeros of a function f are the solutions of the equation f x  0. For example, the function f x  x  4 has a zero at x  4 because f 4  0. In Section 1.1 you also studied different types of symmetry. In the terminology of functions, a function is even if its graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, and is odd if its graph is symmetric with respect to the origin. The symmetry tests in Section 1.1 yield the following test for even and odd functions.

Fitting a Linear Model to Data

A computer graphics drawing based on the pen and ink drawing of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous study of human proportions, called Vitruvian Man

A basic premise of science is that much of the physical world can be described mathematically and that many physical phenomena are predictable. This scientific outlook was part of the scientific revolution that took place in Europe during the late 1500s. Two early publications connected with this revolution were On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus and On the Structure of the Human Body by the Belgian anatomist Andreas Vesalius. Each of these books was published in 1543, and each broke with prior tradition by suggesting the use of a scientific method rather than unquestioned reliance on authority. One method of modern science is gathering data and then describing the data with a mathematical model. For instance, the data given in Example 1 are inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s famous drawing that indicates that a person’s height and arm span are equal.

EXAMPLE 1 Fitting a Linear Model to Data A class of 28 people collected the following data, which represent their heights x and arm spans y (rounded to the nearest inch).

60, 61, 65, 65, 68, 67, 72, 73, 61, 62, 63, 63, 70, 71, Apago PDF Enhancer 75, 74, 71, 72, 62, 60, 65, 65, 66, 68, 62, 62, 72, 73, 70, 70, 69, 68, 69, 70, 60, 61, 63, 63, 64, 64, 71, 71, 68, 67, 69, 70, 70, 72, 65, 65, 64, 63, 71, 70, 67, 67

Linear model and data Figure 1.32

Solution There are different ways to model these data with an equation. The simplest would be to observe that x and y are about the same and list the model as simply y  x. A more careful analysis would be to use a procedure from statistics called linear regression. (You will study this procedure in Section 13.9.) The least squares regression line for these data is y  1.006x  0.23.

Least squares regression line

The graph of the model and the data are shown in Figure 1.32. From this model, you can see that a person’s arm span tends to be about the same as his or her height. ■

TECHNOLOGY Many scientific and graphing calculators have built-in least squares

regression programs. Typically, you enter the data into the calculator and then run the linear regression program. The program usually displays the slope and y-intercept of the best-fitting line and the correlation coefficient r. The correlation coefficient gives a measure of how well the model fits the data. The closer r is to 1, the better the model fits the data. For instance, the correlation coefficient for the model in Example 1 is r  0.97, which indicates that the model is a good fit for the data. If the r-value is positive, the variables have a positive correlation, as in Example 1. If the r-value is negative, the variables have a negative correlation.

Fitting a Quadratic Model to Data A function that gives the height s of a falling object in terms of the time t is called a position function. If air resistance is not considered, the position of a falling object can be modeled by st  12gt 2  v0 t  s0 , where g is the acceleration due to gravity, v0 is the initial velocity, and s0 is the initial height. The value of g depends on where the object is dropped. On Earth, g is approximately 32 feet per second per second, or 9.8 meters per second per second. To discover the value of g experimentally, you could record the heights of a falling object at several increments, as shown in Example 2.

EXAMPLE 2 Fitting a Quadratic Model to Data A basketball is dropped from a height of about 514 feet. The height of the basketball is recorded 23 times at intervals of about 0.02 second.* The results are shown in the table. 0.0

Solution Draw a scatter plot of the data, as shown in Figure 1.33. From the scatter plot, you can see that the data do not appear to be linear. It does appear, however, that they might be quadratic. To find a quadratic model, enter the data into a calculator or computer that has a quadratic regression program. You should obtain the model

So, the basketball hits the ground about 0.54 second after it is dropped. In other words, the basketball continues to fall for about 0.1 second more before hitting the ground. ■

Fitting a Trigonometric Model to Data

The plane of Earth’s orbit about the sun and its axis of rotation are not perpendicular. Instead, Earth’s axis is tilted with respect to its orbit. The result is that the amount of daylight received by locations on Earth varies with the time of year. That is, it varies with the position of Earth in its orbit.

What is mathematical modeling? This is one of the questions that is asked in the book Guide to Mathematical Modelling. Here is part of the answer.* 1. Mathematical modeling consists of applying your mathematical skills to obtain useful answers to real problems. 2. Learning to apply mathematical skills is very different from learning mathematics itself. 3. Models are used in a very wide range of applications, some of which do not appear initially to be mathematical in nature. 4. Models often allow quick and cheap evaluation of alternatives, leading to optimal solutions that are not otherwise obvious. 5. There are no precise rules in mathematical modeling and no “correct” answers. 6. Modeling can be learned only by doing.

EXAMPLE 3 Fitting a Trigonometric Model to Data The number of hours of daylight on Earth depends on the latitude and the time of year. Here are the numbers of minutes of daylight at a location of 20N latitude on the longest and shortest days of the year: June 21, 801 minutes; December 22, 655 minutes. Use these data to write a model for the amount of daylight d (in minutes) on each day of the year at a location of 20N latitude. How could you check the accuracy of your model?

Solution Here is one way to create a model. You can hypothesize that the model is a sine function whose period is 365 days. Using the given data, you can conclude that the amplitude of the graph is 801  655 2, or 73. So, one possible model is

In this model, t represents the number of the day of the year, with December 22 represented by t  0. A graph of this model is shown in Figure 1.34. To check the accuracy of this model, a weather almanac was used to find the numbers of minutes of daylight on different days of the year at the location of 20N latitude. Date Value of t Actual Daylight Dec 22 0 655 min Jan 1 10 657 min Feb 1 41 676 min Mar 1 69 705 min Apr 1 100 740 min May 1 130 772 min Jun 1 161 796 min Jun 21 181 801 min Jul 1 191 799 min Aug 1 222 782 min Sep 1 253 752 min Oct 1 283 718 min Nov 1 314 685 min Dec 1 344 661 min You can see that the model is fairly accurate.

Inverse Functions

f −1

Recall from Section 1.3 that a function can be represented by a set of ordered pairs. For instance, the function f x  x  3 from A  1, 2, 3, 4 to B  4, 5, 6, 7 can be written as f : 1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6, 4, 7. By interchanging the first and second coordinates of each ordered pair, you can form the inverse function of f. This function is denoted by f 1. It is a function from B to A, and can be written as

f

Domain of f  range of f Domain of f 1  range of f 1

Figure 1.35

f 1 : 4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3, 7, 4. Note that the domain of f is equal to the range of f 1, and vice versa, as shown in Figure 1.35. The functions f and f 1 have the effect of “undoing” each other. That is, when you form the composition of f with f 1 or the composition of f 1 with f, you obtain the identity function. f  f 1x  x

DEFINITION OF INVERSE FUNCTION

Apago PDF A function g is the Enhancer inverse function of the function f if f  gx  x for each x in the domain of g and g  f x  x for each x in the domain of f. The function g is denoted by f 1 (read “f inverse”).

NOTE Although the notation used to denote an inverse function resembles exponential notation, it is a different use of 1 as a superscript. That is, in general, f 1x  1 f x.

■

Here are some important observations about inverse functions. 1. If g is the inverse function of f, then f is the inverse function of g. 2. The domain of f 1 is equal to the range of f, and the range of f 1 is equal to the

domain of f. 3. A function need not have an inverse function, but if it does, the inverse function is unique (see Exercise 159). You can think of f 1 as undoing what has been done by f. For example, subtraction can be used to undo addition, and division can be used to undo multiplication. Use the definition of an inverse function to check the following. f x  x  c f x  cx

and and

f 1x  x  c are inverse functions of each other. x f 1x  , c  0, are inverse functions of each other. c

In Figure 1.36, the graphs of f and g  f 1 appear to be mirror images of each other with respect to the line y  x. The graph of f 1 is a reflection of the graph of f in the line y  x. This idea is generalized as follows.

y=x y = f(x) (a, b)

REFLECTIVE PROPERTY OF INVERSE FUNCTIONS The graph of f contains the point a, b if and only if the graph of f 1 contains the point b, a.

(b, a) y = f −1(x) x

The graph of f 1 is a reflection of the graph of f in the line y  x. Figure 1.37

To see this, suppose a, b is on the graph of f. Then f a  b and you can write f 1b  f 1 f a  a. So, b, a is on the graph of f 1, as shown in Figure 1.37. A similar argument will verify this result in the other direction.

Existence of an Inverse Function y

Not every function has an inverse, and the Reflective Property of Inverse Functions suggests a graphical test for those that do—the Horizontal Line Test for an inverse function. This test states that a function f has an inverse function if and only if every horizontal line intersects the graph of f at most once (see Figure 1.38). The following formally states why the Horizontal Line Test is valid.

y = f(x)

f(a) = f(b)

If a horizontal line intersects the graph of f twice, then f is not one-to-one.

Inverse Functions

Inverse Trigonometric Functions From the graphs of the six basic trigonometric functions, you can see that they do not have inverse functions. (Graphs of the six basic trigonometric functions are shown in Appendix C.) The functions that are called “inverse trigonometric functions” are actually inverses of trigonometric functions whose domains have been restricted. For instance, in Example 4, you saw that the sine function is one-to-one on the interval   2,  2 (see Figure 1.42). On this interval, you can define the inverse of the restricted sine function to be y  arcsin x

if and only if

sin y  x

where 1 x 1 and   2 arcsin x  2. From Figures 1.42 (a) and (b), you can see that you can obtain the graph of y  arcsin x by reflecting the graph of y  sin x in the line y  x on the interval   2,  2. y = sin x, − π /2 ≤ x ≤ π /2 Domain: [− π /2, π /2] Range: [−1, 1]

Exponential and Logarithmic Functions ■ ■ ■ ■

From the table, it appears that the closer x gets to 0, the closer 1  x1 x gets to e. You can confirm this by graphing the function f, as shown in Figure 1.48. Try using a graphing calculator to obtain this graph. Then zoom in closer and closer to x  0. Although f is not defined when x  0, it is defined for x-values that are arbitrarily close to zero. By zooming in, you can see that the value of f x gets closer and closer to e  2.71828182846 as x gets closer and closer to 0. Later, when you study limits, you will learn that this result can be written as

which is read as “the limit of 1  x1 x as x approaches 0 is e.”

The Natural Logarithmic Function Because the natural exponential function f x  e x is one-to-one, it must have an inverse function. Its inverse is called the natural logarithmic function. The domain of the natural logarithmic function is the set of positive real numbers.

Properties of Logarithms One of the properties of exponents states that when you multiply two exponential functions (having the same base), you add their exponents. For instance, e xey  e xy. The logarithmic version of this property states that the natural logarithm of the product of two numbers is equal to the sum of the natural logs of the numbers. That is, ln xy  ln x  ln y. This property and the properties dealing with the natural log of a quotient and the natural log of a power are listed here.

When using the properties of logarithms to rewrite logarithmic functions, you must check to see whether the domain of the rewritten function is the same as the domain of the original function. For instance, the domain of f x  ln x 2 is all real numbers except x  0, and the domain of gx  2 ln x is all positive real numbers. TECHNOLOGY Try using a graphing utility to compare the graphs of

There are many other interesting functions that have unusual limit behavior. An often cited one is the Dirichlet function. f x  PDF Apago 1, if x isEnhancer irrational. 0, if x is rational.

Because this function has no limit at any real number c, it is not continuous at any real number c. You will study continuity more closely in Section 2.4.

The Granger Collection

TECHNOLOGY PITFALL This is When you use a graphing utility to investigate the behavior of a function near the x-value at which you are trying to evaluate a limit, remember that you can’t always trust the pictures that graphing utilities draw. For instance, if you use a graphing utility to graph the function in Example 5 over an interval containing 0, you will most likely obtain an incorrect graph such as that shown in Figure 2.11. The reason that a graphing utility can’t show the correct graph is that the graph has infinitely many oscillations over any interval that contains 0. 1.2

PETER GUSTAV DIRICHLET (1805–1859) In the early development of calculus, the definition of a function was much more restricted than it is today, and “functions” such as the Dirichlet function would not have been considered. The modern definition of function is attributed to the German mathematician Peter Gustav Dirichlet.

Limits and Their Properties

A Formal Definition of Limit Let’s take another look at the informal definition of limit. If f x becomes arbitrarily close to a single number L as x approaches c from either side, then the limit of f x as x approaches c is L, written as lim f x  L.

x→c

At first glance, this definition looks fairly technical. Even so, it is informal because exact meanings have not yet been given to the two phrases “f x becomes arbitrarily close to L” and “x approaches c.” The first person to assign mathematically rigorous meanings to these two phrases was Augustin-Louis Cauchy. His - definition of limit is the standard used today. In Figure 2.12, let (the lowercase Greek letter epsilon) represent a (small) positive number. Then the phrase “f x becomes arbitrarily close to L” means that f x lies in the interval L  , L  . Using absolute value, you can write this as

L +ε L

 f x  L < .

Similarly, the phrase “x approaches c” means that there exists a positive number  such that x lies in either the interval c  , c or the interval c, c  . This fact can be concisely expressed by the double inequality c +δ c c−δ

expresses the fact that x  c. The second inequality

x is within  units of c.

says that x is within a distance  of c. DEFINITION OF LIMIT Let f be a function defined on an open interval containing c (except possibly at c) and let L be a real number. The statement lim f x  L

x→c

means that for each > 0 there exists a  > 0 such that if





0 < x  c < ,

then

 f x  L < .

Throughout this text, the expression

lim f x  L

x→c

implies two statements—the limit exists and the limit is L.

■

Some functions do not have limits as x → c, but those that do cannot have two different limits as x → c. That is, if the limit of a function exists, it is unique (see Exercise 81).

Finding Limits Graphically and Numerically

73

The next three examples should help you develop a better understanding of the

- definition of limit.

EXAMPLE 6 Finding a for a Given

y = 1.01 y=1 y = 0.99

Given the limit lim 2x  5  1

y

x→3

x = 2.995 x=3 x = 3.005









find  such that 2x  5  1 < 0.01 whenever 0 < x  3 < .

Solution In this problem, you are working with a given value of —namely,

 0.01. To find an appropriate , notice that

1

2x  5  1  2x  6  2x  3. Because the inequality 2x  5  1 < 0.01 is equivalent to 2x  3 < 0.01, you 1

can choose   20.01  0.005. This choice works because

−1

0 < x  3 < 0.005

f (x) = 2x − 5

implies that

2x  5  1  2x  3 < 20.005  0.01

The limit of f x as x approaches 3 is 1.

■

as shown in Figure 2.13.

Figure 2.13

NOTE In Example 6, note that 0.005 is the largest value of  that will guarantee   2x  5  1 < 0.01 whenever 0 < x  3 < . Any smaller positive value of  would, of course, also work. ■

In Example 6, you found a -value for a given . This does not prove the existence of the limit. To do that, you must prove that you can find a  for any , as shown in the next example.

Use the - definition of limit to prove that

y=4−ε

lim 3x  2  4.

x→2

x=2+δ x=2 x=2−δ

Solution You must show that for each > 0, there exists a  > 0 such that 3x  2  4 < whenever 0 < x  2 < . Because your choice of  depends on , you need to establish a connection between the absolute values 3x  2  4 and x  2 .

Solution You must show that for each > 0, there exists a  > 0 such that

x 2  4 <

 To find an appropriate , begin by writing x2  4  x  2x  2. For all x in the interval 1, 3, x  2 < 5 and thus x  2 < 5. So, letting  be the minimum of

5 and 1, it follows that, whenever 0 < x  2 < , you have

(2 − δ )2 4−ε

2+δ 2 2−δ



whenever 0 < x  2 < .

x2  4  x  2x  2 < 5 5 

The limit of f x as x approaches 2 is 4.

Evaluating Limits Analytically ■ ■ ■ ■

Evaluate a limit using properties of limits. Develop and use a strategy for finding limits. Evaluate a limit using dividing out and rationalizing techniques. Evaluate a limit using the Squeeze Theorem.

Properties of Limits In Section 2.2, you learned that the limit of f x as x approaches c does not depend on the value of f at x  c. It may happen, however, that the limit is precisely f c. In such cases, the limit can be evaluated by direct substitution. That is, lim f x  f c.

Substitute c for x.

Such well-behaved functions are continuous at c. You will examine this concept more closely in Section 2.4. y

Figure 2.16 NOTE When you encounter new notations or symbols in mathematics, be sure you know how the notations are read. For instance, the limit in Example 1(c) is read as “the limit of x 2 as x approaches 2 is 4.”

PROOF To prove Property 2 of Theorem 2.1, you need to show that for each > 0 there exists a  > 0 such that x  c < whenever 0 < x  c < . Because the second inequality is a stricter version of the first, you can simply choose   , as shown in Figure 2.16. This completes the proof.

Polynomial functions and rational functions are two of the three basic types of algebraic functions. The following theorem deals with the limit of the third type of algebraic function—one that involves a radical. See Appendix A for a proof of this theorem. THE SQUARE ROOT SYMBOL The first use of a symbol to denote the square root can be traced to the sixteenth century. Mathematicians first used the symbol , which had only two strokes. This symbol was chosen because it resembled a lowercase r, to stand for the Latin word radix, meaning root.

Limits and Their Properties

A Strategy for Finding Limits On the previous three pages, you studied several types of functions whose limits can be evaluated by direct substitution. This knowledge, together with the following theorem, can be used to develop a strategy for finding limits. A proof of this theorem is given in Appendix A. THEOREM 2.7 FUNCTIONS THAT AGREE AT ALL BUT ONE POINT Let c be a real number and let f x  gx for all x  c in an open interval containing c. If the limit of gx as x approaches c exists, then the limit of f x also exists and

So, for all x-values other than x  1, the functions f and g agree, as shown in Figure

Factor.

Divide out like factors. Apply Theorem 2.7. Use direct substitution. Simplify.

A STRATEGY FOR FINDING LIMITS 1. Learn to recognize which limits can be evaluated by direct substitution. (These limits are listed in Theorems 2.1 through 2.6.) 2. If the limit of f x as x approaches c cannot be evaluated by direct substitution, try to find a function g that agrees with f for all x other than x  c. [Choose g such that the limit of gx can be evaluated by direct substitution.] 3. Apply Theorem 2.7 to conclude analytically that lim f x  lim gx  gc.

4. Use a graph or table to reinforce your conclusion.

Evaluating Limits Analytically

Dividing Out and Rationalizing Techniques Two techniques for finding limits analytically are shown in Examples 7 and 8. The dividing out technique involves dividing out common factors, and the rationalizing technique involves rationalizing the numerator of a fractional expression.

EXAMPLE 7 Dividing Out Technique x2  x  6 . x→3 x3

Find the limit: lim

Solution Although you are taking the limit of a rational function, you cannot apply Theorem 2.3 because the limit of the denominator is 0. lim x 2  x  6  0

x→3

lim x  3  0

f (x) =

x2 + x − 6 x+3

Because the limit of the numerator is also 0, the numerator and denominator have a common factor of x  3. So, for all x  3, you can divide out this factor to obtain

Direct substitution fails.

f is undefined when x  3.

Using Theorem 2.7, it follows that

 5. In the solution of Example 7, be sure you see the usefulness of the Factor Theorem of Algebra. This theorem states that if c is a zero of a polynomial function, x  c is a factor of the polynomial. So, if you apply direct substitution to a rational function and obtain NOTE

r c

you can conclude that x  c must be a common factor of both px and qx.

Incorrect graph of f

Apply Theorem 2.7. Use direct substitution.

This result is shown graphically in Figure 2.18. Note that the graph of the function f coincides with the graph of the function gx  x  2, except that the graph of f has a gap at the point 3, 5. ■ In Example 7, direct substitution produced the meaningless fractional form 0 0. An expression such as 0 0 is called an indeterminate form because you cannot (from the form alone) determine the limit. When you try to evaluate a limit and encounter this form, remember that you must rewrite the fraction so that the new denominator does not have 0 as its limit. One way to do this is to divide out common factors, as shown in Example 7. A second way is to rationalize the numerator, as shown in Example 8. TECHNOLOGY PITFALL This is

Figure 2.19

x  3.

f x 

x2  x  6 x3

Because the graphs of and

gx  x  2

differ only at the point 3, 5, a standard graphing utility setting may not distinguish clearly between these graphs. However, because of the pixel configuration and rounding error of a graphing utility, it may be possible to find screen settings that distinguish between the graphs. Specifically, by repeatedly zooming in near the point 3, 5 on the graph of f, your graphing utility may show glitches or irregularities that do not exist on the actual graph. (See Figure 2.19.) By changing the screen settings on your graphing utility, you may obtain the correct graph of f.

TECHNOLOGY Try using a graphing utility to confirm the limits in the examples and in the exercise set. For instance, Figures 2.23 and 2.24 show the graphs of

and

gx

Note that the first graph appears to contain the point 0, 1 and the second graph appears to contain the point 0, 4, which lends support to the conclusions obtained in Examples 9 and 10.

Continuity at a Point and on an Open Interval EXPLORATION Informally, you might say that a function is continuous on an open interval if its graph can be drawn with a pencil without lifting the pencil from the paper.

Do you think you can trust the results you obtained graphically? Explain your reasoning. Function

In mathematics, the term continuous has much the same meaning as it has in everyday usage. To say that a function f is continuous at x  c means that there is no interruption in the graph of f at c. That is, its graph is unbroken at c and there are no holes, jumps, or gaps. Figure 2.25 identifies three values of x at which the graph of f is not continuous. At all other points in the interval a, b, the graph of f is uninterrupted and continuous. y

Continuity and One-Sided Limits

Consider an open interval I that contains a real number c. If a function f is defined on I (except possibly at c), and f is not continuous at c, then f is said to have a discontinuity at c. Discontinuities fall into two categories: removable and nonremovable. A discontinuity at c is called removable if f can be made continuous by appropriately defining (or redefining) f c. For instance, the functions shown in Figures 2.26(a) and (c) have removable discontinuities at c, and the function shown in Figure 2.26(b) has a nonremovable discontinuity at c. x

a. The domain of f is all nonzero real numbers. From Theorem 2.3, you can conclude that f is continuous at every x-value in its domain. At x  0, f has a nonremovable discontinuity, as shown in Figure 2.27(a). In other words, there is no way to define f 0 so as to make the function continuous at x  0. b. The domain of g is all real numbers except x  1. From Theorem 2.3, you can conclude that g is continuous at every x-value in its domain. At x  1, the function has a removable discontinuity, as shown in Figure 2.27(b). If g1 is defined as 2, the “newly defined” function is continuous for all real numbers. c. The domain of h is all real numbers. The function h is continuous on  , 0 and 0, , and, because lim hx  1, h is continuous on the entire real number line, x→0 as shown in Figure 2.27(c). d. The domain of y is all real numbers. From Theorem 2.6, you can conclude that the function is continuous on its entire domain,  , , as shown in Figure 2.27(d).

One-Sided Limits and Continuity on a Closed Interval y

To understand continuity on a closed interval, you first need to look at a different type of limit called a one-sided limit. For example, the limit from the right (or right-hand limit) means that x approaches c from values greater than c [see Figure 2.28(a)]. This limit is denoted as

Continuity and One-Sided Limits

93

When the limit from the left is not equal to the limit from the right, the (twosided) limit does not exist. The next theorem makes this more explicit. The proof of this theorem follows directly from the definition of a one-sided limit. THEOREM 2.10 THE EXISTENCE OF A LIMIT Let f be a function and let c and L be real numbers. The limit of f x as x approaches c is L if and only if lim f x  L

x→c

lim f x  L.

and

x→c

The concept of a one-sided limit allows you to extend the definition of continuity to closed intervals. Basically, a function is continuous on a closed interval if it is continuous in the interior of the interval and exhibits one-sided continuity at the endpoints. This is stated formally as follows. DEFINITION OF CONTINUITY ON A CLOSED INTERVAL A function f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] if it is continuous on the open interval a, b and lim f x  f a

and

The function f is continuous from the right at a and continuous from the left at b (see Figure 2.31).

Apago PDF Enhancer Similar definitions can be made to cover continuity on intervals of the form a, b and a, b that are neither open nor closed, or on infinite intervals. For example, the function f x  x is continuous on the infinite interval 0, , and the function gx  2  x is continuous on the infinite interval  , 2.

EXAMPLE 4 Continuity on a Closed Interval Discuss the continuity of f x  1  x 2. Solution The domain of f is the closed interval 1, 1. At all points in the open interval 1, 1, the continuity of f follows from Theorems 2.4 and 2.5. Moreover, because

Limits and Their Properties

The next example shows how a one-sided limit can be used to determine the value of absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.

EXAMPLE 5 Charles’s Law and Absolute Zero On the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is the temperature 0 K. Although temperatures very close to 0 K have been produced in laboratories, absolute zero has never been attained. In fact, evidence suggests that absolute zero cannot be attained. How did scientists determine that 0 K is the “lower limit” of the temperature of matter? What is absolute zero on the Celsius scale?

V

Solution The determination of absolute zero stems from the work of the French physicist Jacques Charles (1746–1823). Charles discovered that the volume of gas at a constant pressure increases linearly with the temperature of the gas. The table illustrates this relationship between volume and temperature. To generate the values in the table, one mole of hydrogen is held at a constant pressure of one atmosphere. The volume V is approximated and is measured in liters, and the temperature T is measured in degrees Celsius.

The points represented by the table are shown in Figure 2.33. Moreover, by using the points in the table, you can determine that T and V are related by the linear equation V  22.4334 Apago PDF Enhancer or T V  0.08213T  22.4334 . 0.08213 By reasoning that the volume of the gas can approach 0 (but can never equal or go below 0), you can determine that the “least possible temperature” is given by lim T  lim

Use direct substitution.

So, absolute zero on the Kelvin scale 0 K is approximately 273.15 on the Celsius scale. ■ The following table shows the temperatures in Example 5 converted to the Fahrenheit scale. Try repeating the solution shown in Example 5 using these temperatures and volumes. Use the result to find the value of absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale.

In 2003, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used lasers and evaporation to produce a supercold gas in which atoms overlap. This gas is called a Bose-Einstein condensate. They measured a temperature of about 450 pK (picokelvin), or approximately 273.14999999955C. (Source: Science magazine, September 12, 2003)

Properties of Continuity In Section 2.3, you studied several properties of limits. Each of those properties yields a corresponding property pertaining to the continuity of a function. For instance, Theorem 2.11 follows directly from Theorem 2.2. (A proof of Theorem 2.11 is given in Appendix A.) The Granger Collection

AUGUSTIN-LOUIS CAUCHY (1789–1857) The concept of a continuous function was first introduced by Augustin-Louis Cauchy in 1821. The definition given in his text Cours d’Analyse stated that indefinite small changes in y were the result of indefinite small changes in x. “…f x will be called a continuous function if … the numerical values of the difference f x    f x decrease indefinitely with those of  ….”

Because y  1 x is continuous except at x  0 and the sine function is continuous for all real values of x, it follows that y  sin 1 x is continuous at all real values except x  0. At x  0, the limit of gx does not exist (see Example 5, Section 2.2). So, g is continuous on the intervals  , 0 and 0, , as shown in Figure 2.34(b). c.

The Intermediate Value Theorem Theorem 2.13 is an important theorem concerning the behavior of functions that are continuous on a closed interval. THEOREM 2.13 INTERMEDIATE VALUE THEOREM If f is continuous on the closed interval a, b, f a  f b, and k is any number between f a and f b), then there is at least one number c in a, b such that f c  k.

NOTE The Intermediate Value Theorem tells you that at least one number c exists, but it does not provide a method for finding c. Such theorems are called existence theorems. By referring to a text on advanced calculus, you will find that a proof of this theorem is based on a property of real numbers called completeness. The Intermediate Value Theorem states that for a continuous function f, if x takes on all values between a and b, f x must take on all values between f a and f b. ■

As a simple example of the application of this theorem, consider a person’s height. Suppose that a girl is 5 feet tall on her thirteenth birthday and 5 feet 7 inches tall on her fourteenth birthday. Then, for any height h between 5 feet and 5 feet 7 inches, there must have been a time t when her height was exactly h. This seems reasonable because human growth is continuous and a person’s height does not abruptly change from one value to another. The Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees the existence of at least one number c in the closed interval a, b. There may, of course, be more than one number c such that f c  k, as shown in Figure 2.35. A function that is not continuous does not necessarily possess the intermediate value property. For example, the graph of the function shown in Figure 2.36 jumps over the horizontal line given by y  k, and for this function there is no value of c in a, b such that f c  k.

The Intermediate Value Theorem often can be used to locate the zeros of a function that is continuous on a closed interval. Specifically, if f is continuous on a, b and f a and f b differ in sign, the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees the existence of at least one zero of f in the closed interval a, b.

as shown in Figure 2.37.

The bisection method for approximating the real zeros of a continuous function is similar to the method used in Example 8. If you know that a zero exists in the closed interval a, b, the zero must lie in the interval a, a  b 2 or a  b 2, b. From the sign of f a  b 2, you can determine which interval contains the zero. By repeatedly bisecting the interval, you can “close in” on the zero of the function.

(0, − 1)

f is continuous on 0, 1 with f 0 < 0 and f 1 > 0. Figure 2.37

TECHNOLOGY You can also use the zoom feature of a graphing utility to approximate the real zeros of a continuous function. By repeatedly zooming in on the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, and adjusting the x-axis scale, you can approximate the zero of the function to any desired accuracy.

Be sure you see that the equal sign in the statement lim f x   does not mean that the limit exists. On the contrary, it tells you how the limit fails to exist by denoting the unbounded behavior of f x as x approaches c.

Solution a. When x approaches 1 from the left or the right, x  12 is a small positive number.

Thus, the quotient 1 x  12 is a large positive number and f x approaches infinity from each side of x  1. So, you can conclude that lim

Limit from each side is infinity.

Limit from the left side is infinity.

When x approaches 1 from the right, x  1 is a small positive number. Thus, the quotient 1 x  1 is a large negative number and f x approaches negative infinity from the right of x  1. So, you can conclude that lim

Figure 2.41(b) confirms this analysis.

Vertical Asymptotes If it were possible to extend the graphs in Figure 2.41 toward positive and negative infinity, you would see that each graph becomes arbitrarily close to the vertical line x  1. This line is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f. (You will study other types of asymptotes in Sections 4.5 and 4.6.) NOTE If a function f has a vertical asymptote at x  c, then f is not continuous at c.

DEFINITION OF VERTICAL ASYMPTOTE If f x approaches infinity (or negative infinity) as x approaches c from the right or the left, then the line x  c is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f.

In Example 1, note that each of the functions is a quotient and that the vertical asymptote occurs at a number at which the denominator is 0 (and the numerator is not 0). The next theorem generalizes this observation. (A proof of this theorem is given in Appendix A.) THEOREM 2.14 VERTICAL ASYMPTOTES Let f and g be continuous on an open interval containing c. If f c  0, gc  0, and there exists an open interval containing c such that gx  0 for all x  c in the interval, then the graph of the function given by h x

you can see that the denominator is 0 at x  1 and x  1. Moreover, because the numerator is not 0 at these two points, you can apply Theorem 2.14 to conclude that the graph of f has two vertical asymptotes, as shown in Figure 2.42(b). c. By writing the cotangent function in the form

(b) y

you can apply Theorem 2.14 to conclude that vertical asymptotes occur at all values of x such that sin x  0 and cos x  0, as shown in Figure 2.42(c). So, the graph of this function has infinitely many vertical asymptotes. These asymptotes occur when x  n, where n is an integer. ■

(c) Functions with vertical asymptotes

Figure 2.42

Theorem 2.14 requires that the value of the numerator at x  c be nonzero. If both the numerator and the denominator are 0 at x  c, you obtain the indeterminate form 0 0, and you cannot determine the limit behavior at x  c without further investigation, as illustrated in Example 3.

At all x-values other than x  2, the graph of f coincides with the graph of gx  x  4 x  2. So, you can apply Theorem 2.14 to g to conclude that there is a vertical asymptote at x  2, as shown in Figure 2.43. From the graph, you can see that lim

Similar properties hold for one-sided limits and for functions for which the limit of f x as x approaches c is  . NOTE With a graphing utility, you can confirm that the natural logarithmic function has a vertical asymptote at x  0. (See Figure 2.45.) This implies that

 f x  gx > M



lim ln x   .

x→0



whenever 0 < x  c < . For simplicity’s sake, you can assume L is positive and let M1  M  1. Because the limit of f x is infinite, there exists 1 such that f x > M1 whenever 0 < x  c < 1. Also, because the limit of gx is L, there exists  2 such that gx  L < 1 whenever 0 < x  c < 2. By letting  be the smaller of 1 and  2, you can conclude that 0 < x  c <  implies f x > M  1 and gx  L < 1. The second of these two inequalities implies that gx > L  1, and, adding this to the first inequality, you can write

In this chapter you will study one of the most important processes of calculus– differentiation. In each section, you will learn new methods and rules for finding derivatives of functions. Then you will apply these rules to find such things as velocity, acceleration, and the rates of change of two or more related variables. In this chapter, you should learn the following. ■

When jumping from a platform, a diver’s velocity is briefly positive because of the upward movement, but then becomes negative when falling. How can you use calculus to determine the velocity of a diver at impact? (See Section 3.2, Example 11.)

To approximate the slope of a tangent line to a graph at a given point, find the slope of the secant line through the given point and a second point on the graph. As the second point approaches the given point, the approximation tends to become more accurate. (See Section 3.1.)

The Derivative and the Tangent Line Problem ■ Find the slope of the tangent line to a curve at a point. ■ Use the limit definition to find the derivative of a function. ■ Understand the relationship between differentiability and continuity.

The Tangent Line Problem Calculus grew out of four major problems that European mathematicians were working on during the seventeenth century.

Mary Evans Picture Library/Alamy

1. 2. 3. 4.

The tangent line problem (Section 2.1 and this section) The velocity and acceleration problem (Sections 3.2 and 3.3) The minimum and maximum problem (Section 4.1) The area problem (Sections 2.1 and 5.2)

Each problem involves the notion of a limit, and calculus can be introduced with any of the four problems. A brief introduction to the tangent line problem is given in Section 2.1. Although partial solutions to this problem were given by Pierre de Fermat (1601–1665), René Descartes (1596–1650), Christian Huygens (1629–1695), and Isaac Barrow (1630 –1677), credit for the first general solution is usually given to Isaac Newton (1642–1727) and Gottfried Leibniz (1646–1716). Newton’s work on this problem stemmed from his interest in optics and light refraction. What does it mean to say that a line is tangent to a curve at a point? For a circle, the tangent line at a point P is the line that is perpendicular to the radial line at point P, as shown in Figure 3.1. For a general curve, however, the problem is more difficult. For example, how would you define the tangent lines shown in Figure 3.2? You might say that a line is tangent to a curve at a point P if it touches, but does not cross, the curve at point P. This definition would work for the first curve shown in Figure 3.2, but not for the second. Or you might say that a line is tangent to a curve if the line touches or intersects the curve at exactly one point. This definition would work for a circle but not for more general curves, as the third curve in Figure 3.2 shows.

ISAAC NEWTON (1642–1727) In addition to his work in calculus, Newton made revolutionary contributions to physics, including the Law of Universal Gravitation and his three laws of motion.

The Derivative and the Tangent Line Problem

Essentially, the problem of finding the tangent line at a point P boils down to the problem of finding the slope of the tangent line at point P. You can approximate this slope using a secant line* through the point of tangency and a second point on the curve, as shown in Figure 3.3. If c, f c is the point of tangency and c   x, f c   x is a second point on the graph of f, the slope of the secant line through the two points is given by substitution into the slope formula

The right-hand side of this equation is a difference quotient. The denominator x is the change in x, and the numerator y  f c  x  f c is the change in y. The beauty of this procedure is that you can obtain more and more accurate approximations of the slope of the tangent line by choosing points closer and closer to the point of tangency, as shown in Figure 3.4. THE TANGENT LINE PROBLEM In 1637, mathematician René Descartes stated this about the tangent line problem: “And I dare say that this is not only the most useful and general problem in geometry that I know, but even that I ever desire to know.”

DEFINITION OF TANGENT LINE WITH SLOPE m If f is defined on an open interval containing c, and if the limit lim

exists, then the line passing through c, f c with slope m is the tangent line to the graph of f at the point c, f c. The slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at the point c, f c is also called the slope of the graph of f at x  c. * This use of the word secant comes from the Latin secare, meaning to cut, and is not a reference to the trigonometric function of the same name.

the vertical line x  c passing through c, f c is a vertical tangent line to the graph of f. For example, the function shown in Figure 3.7 has a vertical tangent line at c, f c. If the domain of f is the closed interval a, b, you can extend the definition of a vertical tangent line to include the endpoints by considering continuity and limits from the right for x  a and from the left for x  b.

The Derivative of a Function You have now arrived at a crucial point in the study of calculus. The limit used to define the slope of a tangent line is also used to define one of the two fundamental operations of calculus—differentiation.

This “new” function gives the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at the point x, f x, provided that the graph has a tangent line at this point. The process of finding the derivative of a function is called differentiation. A function is differentiable at x if its derivative exists at x and is differentiable on an open interval a, b if it is differentiable at every point in the interval. In addition to fx, which is read as “f prime of x,” other notations are used to denote the derivative of y  f x. The most common are fx,

THEOREM 3.1 DIFFERENTIABILITY IMPLIES CONTINUITY If f is differentiable at x  c, then f is continuous at x  c.

PROOF You can prove that f is continuous at x  c by showing that f x approaches f c as x → c. To do this, use the differentiability of f at x  c and consider the following limit.

where x is a small number such as 0.001. Can you see any problems with this definition? For instance, using this definition, what is the value of the derivative of f x  x when x  0?

You can summarize the relationship between continuity and differentiability as follows. 1. If a function is differentiable at x  c, then it is continuous at x  c. So, differentiability implies continuity. 2. It is possible for a function to be continuous at x  c and not be differentiable at x  c. So, continuity does not imply differentiability (see Example 6).

Find the derivative of a function using the Sum and Difference Rules. Find the derivatives of the sine, cosine, and exponential functions. Use derivatives to find rates of change.

The Constant Rule y

In Section 3.1 you used the limit definition to find derivatives. In this and the next two sections you will be introduced to several “differentiation rules” that allow you to find derivatives without the direct use of the limit definition.

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

THEOREM 3.2 THE CONSTANT RULE The derivative of a constant function is 0. That is, if c is a real number, then

f (x) = c The derivative of a constant function is 0.

d c  0. dx

(See Figure 3.14.) Notice that the Constant Rule is equivalent to saying that the slope of a horizontal line is 0. This demonstrates the relationship between slope and derivative. Figure 3.14

The Power Rule Before proving the next rule, review the procedure for expanding a binomial.

x  x 2  x 2  2xx  x 2 x  x 3  x 3  3x 2x  3xx2  x3 x   x4  x 4  4x3x  6x2x2  4xx3  x4 The general binomial expansion for a positive integer n is

x  x n  x n  nx n1 x 

nn  1x n2 x 2  . . .  x n. 2 x2 is a factor of these terms.

This binomial expansion is used in proving a special case of the Power Rule. THEOREM 3.3 THE POWER RULE NOTE From Example 7 in Section 3.1, you know that the function f x  x1 3 is defined at x  0, but is not differentiable at x  0. This is because x2 3 is not defined on an interval containing 0.

If n is a real number, then the function f x  x n is differentiable and d n x   nx n1. dx For f to be differentiable at x  0, n must be a number such that x n1 is defined on an interval containing 0.

PROOF If n is a positive integer greater than 1, then the binomial expansion produces the following.

Apago PDF Enhancer d n x  xn  x n x   lim dx x→0 x

nn  1x n2 x 2  . . .  x n  x n 2  lim x x→0 n2 nn  1x  lim nx n1  x  . . .  x n1 2 x→0  nx n1  0  . . .  0  nx n1. x n  nx n1x 





This proves the case for which n is a positive integer greater than 1. It is left to you to prove the case for n  1. Example 7 in Section 3.3 proves the case for which n is a negative integer. The cases for which n is rational and n is irrational are left as an exercise (see Section 3.5, Exercise 100). ■

Derivatives of Exponential Functions

EXPLORATION

One of the most intriguing (and useful) characteristics of the natural exponential function is that it is its own derivative. Consider the following.

Use a graphing utility to graph the function

Let f x  e x.

e xx  e x f x  x

f x   x  f x x xx e  ex  lim x→0 x x x e e  1  lim x→0 x

f x  lim

for x  0.01. What does this function represent? Compare this graph with that of the exponential function. What do you think the derivative of the exponential function equals?

The definition of e lim 1   x1 x  e

x→0

tells you that for small values of x, you have e  1   x1 x, which implies that e x  1   x. Replacing e x by this approximation produces the following. The key to the formula for the derivative of f x  e x is the limit STUDY TIP

This important limit was introduced on page 51 and formalized later on page 85. It is used to conclude that for x  0,

Rates of Change You have seen how the derivative is used to determine slope. The derivative can also be used to determine the rate of change of one variable with respect to another. Applications involving rates of change occur in a wide variety of fields. A few examples are population growth rates, production rates, water flow rates, velocity, and acceleration. A common use for rate of change is to describe the motion of an object moving in a straight line. In such problems, it is customary to use either a horizontal or a vertical line with a designated origin to represent the line of motion. On such lines, movement to the right (or upward) is considered to be in the positive direction, and movement to the left (or downward) is considered to be in the negative direction. The function s that gives the position (relative to the origin) of an object as a function of time t is called a position function. If, over a period of time t, the object changes its position by the amount s  st  t  st, then, by the familiar formula Rate

Suppose that in Example 10 you wanted to find the instantaneous velocity (or simply the velocity) of the object when t  1. Just as you can approximate the slope of the tangent line by calculating the slope of the secant line, you can approximate the velocity at t  1 by calculating the average velocity over a small interval 1, 1  t (see Figure 3.21). By taking the limit as t approaches zero, you obtain the velocity when t  1. Try doing this—you will find that the velocity when t  1 is 32 feet per second. In general, if s  st is the position function for an object moving along a straight line, the velocity of the object at time t is

Velocity function

In other words, the velocity function is the derivative of the position function. Velocity can be negative, zero, or positive. The speed of an object is the absolute value of its velocity. Speed cannot be negative. The position of a free-falling object (neglecting air resistance) under the influence of gravity can be represented by the equation st 

1 2 gt  v0t  s0 2

Position function

where s0 is the initial height of the object, v0 is the initial velocity of the object, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, the value of g is approximately 32 feet per second per second or 9.8 meters per second per second.

Position function

where s is measured in feet and t is measured in seconds. a. When does the diver hit the water? b. What is the diver’s velocity at impact? Solution a. To find the time t when the diver hits the water, let s  0 and solve for t.

Velocity is positive when an object is rising, and is negative when an object is falling. Notice that the diver moves upward for the first half-second because the velocity is 1 positive for 0 < t < 2. When the velocity is 0, the diver has reached the maximum height of the dive. Figure 3.22

Because t  0, choose the positive value to conclude that the diver hits the water at t  2 seconds. b. The velocity at time t is given by the derivative st  32t  16. So, the velocity at time t  2 is s2  322  16  48 feet per second.

The Product Rule In Section 3.2 you learned that the derivative of the sum of two functions is simply the sum of their derivatives. The rules for the derivatives of the product and quotient of two functions are not as simple. THEOREM 3.8 THE PRODUCT RULE NOTE A version of the Product Rule that some people prefer is

d  f xg x  f xgx  f xgx. dx The advantage of this form is that it generalizes easily to products of three or more factors.

The product of two differentiable functions f and g is itself differentiable. Moreover, the derivative of fg is the first function times the derivative of the second, plus the second function times the derivative of the first. d  f xgx  f xgx  gx fx dx

PROOF Some mathematical proofs, such as the proof of the Sum Rule, are straightforward. Others involve clever steps that may appear unmotivated to a reader. This proof involves such a step—subtracting and adding the same quantity—which is shown in color.

Note that lim f x   x  f x because f is given to be differentiable and therefore x→ 0

is continuous. The Product Rule can be extended to cover products involving more than two factors. For example, if f, g, and h are differentiable functions of x, then d  f xgxhx  fxgxhx  f xgxhx  f xgxhx. dx For instance, the derivative of y  x2 sin x cos x is The proof of the Product Rule for products of more than two factors is left as an exercise (see Exercise 141).

THE PRODUCT RULE When Leibniz originally wrote a formula for the Product Rule, he was motivated by the expression

x  dx y  dy  xy from which he subtracted dx dy (as being negligible) and obtained the differential form x dy  y dx. This derivation resulted in the traditional form of the Product Rule. (Source: The History of Mathematics by David M. Burton)

Product and Quotient Rules and Higher-Order Derivatives

Note the use of parentheses in Example 4. A liberal use of parentheses is recommended for all types of differentiation problems. For instance, with the Quotient Rule, it is a good idea to enclose all factors and derivatives in parentheses, and to pay special attention to the subtraction required in the numerator. When differentiation rules were introduced in the preceding section, the need for rewriting before differentiating was emphasized. The next example illustrates this point with the Quotient Rule.

To find the slope at 1, 1, evaluate f  1. f  1  0

Slope of graph at 1, 1

Then, using the point-slope form of the equation of a line, you can determine that the equation of the tangent line at 1, 1 is y  1. See Figure 3.24. ■ Not every quotient needs to be differentiated by the Quotient Rule. For example, each quotient in the next example can be considered as the product of a constant times a function of x. In such cases it is more convenient to use the Constant Multiple Rule.

In Section 3.2, the Power Rule was proved only for the case in which the exponent n is a positive integer greater than 1. The next example extends the proof to include negative integer exponents.

EXAMPLE 7 Proof of the Power Rule (Negative Integer Exponents) If n is a negative integer, there exists a positive integer k such that n  k. So, by the Quotient Rule, you can write



d n d 1 x   dx dx x k x k 0  1kx k1  x k2

Quotient Rule and Power Rule

0  kx k1 x 2k  kxk1  n x n1.

So, the Power Rule d n x   n x n1 dx

Power Rule

is valid for any integer. The cases for which n is rational and n is irrational are left as an exercise (see Section 3.5, Exercise 100). ■

Higher-Order Derivatives Just as you can obtain a velocity function by differentiating a position function, you can obtain an acceleration function by differentiating a velocity function. Another way of looking at this is that you can obtain an acceleration function by differentiating a position function twice. st vt  s t at  v t  s t

Position function Velocity function Acceleration function

The function given by at is the second derivative of st and is denoted by s t. The second derivative is an example of a higher-order derivative. You can define derivatives of any positive integer order. For instance, the third derivative is the derivative of the second derivative. Higher-order derivatives are denoted as follows. y,

EXAMPLE 10 Finding the Acceleration Due to Gravity Because the moon has no atmosphere, a falling object on the moon encounters no air resistance. In 1971, astronaut David Scott demonstrated that a feather and a hammer fall at the same rate on the moon. The position function for each of these falling objects is given by NASA

st  0.81t 2  2 where st is the height in meters and t is the time in seconds. What is the ratio of Earth’s gravitational force to the moon’s? THE MOON The moon’s mass is 7.349  1022 kilograms, and Earth’s mass is 5.976  1024 kilograms. The moon’s radius is 1737 kilometers, and Earth’s radius is 6378 kilometers. Because the gravitational force on the surface of a planet is directly proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the square of its radius, the ratio of the gravitational force on Earth to the gravitational force on the moon is

5.976  1024 63782  6.0. 7.349  1022 17372

Solution To find the acceleration, differentiate the position function twice. st  0.81t 2  2 st  1.62t s t  1.62

Position function Velocity function Acceleration function

So, the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.62 meters per second per second. Because the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 meters per second per second, the ratio of Earth’s gravitational force to the moon’s is Earth’s gravitational force 9.8  Moon’s gravitational force 1.62  6.0.

Find the derivative of a transcendental function using the Chain Rule. Find the derivative of a function involving the natural logarithmic function. Define and differentiate exponential functions that have bases other than e.

This rule deals with composite functions and adds a surprising versatility to the rules discussed in the two previous sections. For example, compare the following functions. Those on the left can be differentiated without the Chain Rule, and those on the right are best differentiated with the Chain Rule. Without the Chain Rule

With the Chain Rule

y  x2  1 y  sin x y  3x  2 y  e x  tan x

y  x 2  1 y  sin 6x y  3x  25 y  e 5x  tan x2

Basically, the Chain Rule states that if y changes dy du times as fast as u, and u changes du dx times as fast as x, then y changes dy dudu dx times as fast as x.

Axle 1: y revolutions per minute Axle 2: u revolutions per minute Axle 3: x revolutions per minute

A set of gears is constructed, as shown in Figure 3.25, such that the second and third gears are on the same axle. As the first axle revolves, it drives the second axle, which in turn drives the third axle. Let y, u, and x represent the numbers of revolutions per minute of the first, second, and third axles, respectively. Find dy du, du dx, and dy dx, and show that

Axle 3

 dx .

Solution Because the circumference of the second gear is three times that of the first, the first axle must make three revolutions to turn the second axle once. Similarly, the second axle must make two revolutions to turn the third axle once, and you can write dy 3 du

and

du  2. dx

Combining these two results, you know that the first axle must make six revolutions to turn the third axle once. So, you can write dy  dx

Rate of change of second axle with respect to third axle Rate of change of first axle with respect to third axle

In other words, the rate of change of y with respect to x is the product of the rate of change of y with respect to u and the rate of change of u with respect to x. ■

Differentiation

EXPLORATION Using the Chain Rule Each of the following functions can be differentiated using rules that you studied in Sections 3.2 and 3.3. For each function, find the derivative using those rules. Then find the derivative using the Chain Rule. Compare your results. Which method is simpler? 2 a. 3x  1 b. x  23

Example 1 illustrates a simple case of the Chain Rule. The general rule is stated below. THEOREM 3.11 THE CHAIN RULE If y  f u is a differentiable function of u and u  gx is a differentiable function of x, then y  f gx is a differentiable function of x and dy dy  dx du

or, equivalently, d  f gx  fgxg x. dx

c. sin 2x PROOF Let hx  f gx. Then, using the alternative form of the derivative, you need to show that, for x  c,

hc  fgcgc. An important consideration in this proof is the behavior of g as x approaches c. A problem occurs if there are values of x, other than c, such that gx  gc. Appendix A shows how to use the differentiability of f and g to overcome this problem. For now, assume that gx  gc for values of x other than c. In the proofs of the Product Rule and the Quotient Rule, the same quantity was added and subtracted to obtain the desired form. This proof uses a similar technique—multiplying and dividing by the same (nonzero) quantity. Note that because g is differentiable, it is also continuous, and it follows that gx → gc as x → c.

When applying the Chain Rule, it is helpful to think of the composite function f  g as having two parts—an inner part and an outer part. Outer function

y  f gx  f u Inner function

The derivative of y  f u is the derivative of the outer function (at the inner function u) times the derivative of the inner function. y  f u Derivative of outer function

The Derivative of the Natural Logarithmic Function Up to this point in the text, derivatives of algebraic functions have been algebraic and derivatives of transcendental functions have been transcendental. The next theorem looks at an unusual situation in which the derivative of a transcendental function is algebraic. Specifically, the derivative of the natural logarithmic function is the algebraic function 1 x. THEOREM 3.13 DERIVATIVE OF THE NATURAL LOGARITHMIC FUNCTION Let u be a differentiable function of x.

John Napier used logarithmic properties to simplify calculations involving products, quotients, and powers. Of course, given the availability of calculators, there is now little need for this particular application of logarithms. However, there is great value in using logarithmic properties to simplify differentiation involving products, quotients, and powers.

Bases Other than e The base of the natural exponential function is e. This “natural” base can be used to assign a meaning to a general base a. DEFINITION OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION TO BASE a If a is a positive real number a  1 and x is any real number, then the exponential function to the base a is denoted by ax and is defined by a x  eln ax. If a  1, then y  1x  1 is a constant function.

Logarithmic functions to bases other than e can be defined in much the same way as exponential functions to other bases are defined. DEFINITION OF LOGARITHMIC FUNCTION TO BASE a If a is a positive real number a  1 and x is any positive real number, then the logarithmic function to the base a is denoted by loga x and is defined as loga x

To differentiate exponential and logarithmic functions to other bases, you have two Apago Enhancer options: (1)PDF use the definitions of a and log x and differentiate using the rules for the x

natural exponential and logarithmic functions, or (2) use the following differentiation rules for bases other than e. NOTE These differentiation rules are similar to those for the natural exponential function and the natural logarithmic function. In fact, they differ only by the constant factors ln a and 1 ln a. This points out one reason why, for calculus, e is the most convenient base.

Implicit Differentiation ■ Distinguish between functions written in implicit form and explicit form. ■ Use implicit differentiation to find the derivative of a function. ■ Find derivatives of functions using logarithmic differentiation.

Implicit and Explicit Functions EXPLORATION Graphing an Implicit Equation How could you use a graphing utility to sketch the graph of the equation x 2  2y 3  4y  2? Here are two possible approaches. a. Solve the equation for x. Switch the roles of x and y and graph the two resulting equations. The combined graphs will show a 90 rotation of the graph of the original equation. b. Set the graphing utility to parametric mode and graph the equations x   2t 3  4t  2 yt and x  2t 3  4t  2

Up to this point in the text, most functions have been expressed in explicit form. For example, in the equation y  3x 2  5

Explicit form

the variable y is explicitly written as a function of x. Some functions, however, are only implied by an equation. For instance, the function y  1 x is defined implicitly by the equation xy  1. Suppose you were asked to find dy dx for this equation. You could begin by writing y explicitly as a function of x and then differentiating. Implicit Form

Explicit Form

xy  1

y

1  x1 x

Derivative

dy 1  x2   2 dx x

This strategy works whenever you can solve for the function explicitly. You cannot, however, use this procedure when you are unable to solve for y as a function of x. For instance, how would you find dy dx for the equation x 2  2y 3  4y  2, where it is very difficult to express y as a function of x explicitly? To do this, you can use implicit differentiation. To understand how to find dy dx implicitly, you must realize that the differentiation is taking place with respect to x. This means that when you differentiate terms involving x alone, you can differentiate as usual. However, when you differentiate terms involving y, you must apply the Chain Rule, because you are assuming that y is defined implicitly as a differentiable function of x.

Implicit Differentiation GUIDELINES FOR IMPLICIT DIFFERENTIATION 1. Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x. 2. Collect all terms involving dy dx on the left side of the equation and move all other terms to the right side of the equation. 3. Factor dy dx out of the left side of the equation. 4. Solve for dy dx by dividing both sides of the equation by the left-hand factor that does not contain dy dx.

In Example 2, note that implicit differentiation can produce an expression for dy dx that contains both x and y.

To see how you can use an implicit derivative, consider the graph shown in Figure 3.27. From the graph, you can see that y is not a function of x. Even so, the derivative found in Example 2 gives a formula for the slope of the tangent line at a point on this graph. The slopes at several points on the graph are shown below the graph. TECHNOLOGY With most graphing utilities, it is easy to graph an equation that explicitly represents y as a function of x. Graphing other equations, however, can require some ingenuity. For instance, to graph the equation given in Example 2, use a graphing utility, set in parametric mode, to graph the parametric representations x  t 3  t 2  5t  4, y  t, and x   t 3  t 2  5t  4, y  t, for 5 t 5. How does the result compare with the graph shown in Figure 3.27?

It is meaningless to solve for dy dx in an equation that has no solution points. (For example, x 2  y 2  4 has no solution points.) If, however, a segment of a graph can be represented by a differentiable function, dy dx will have meaning as the slope at each point on the segment. Recall that a function is not differentiable at (1) points with vertical tangents and (2) points at which the function is not continuous.

Derivative of an Inverse Function y

The next two theorems discuss the derivative of an inverse function. The reasonableness of Theorem 3.16 follows from the reflective property of inverse functions, as shown in Figure 3.33. Proofs of the two theorems are given in Appendix A.

THEOREM 3.16 CONTINUITY AND DIFFERENTIABILITY OF INVERSE FUNCTIONS

(b, a)

Let f be a function whose domain is an interval I. If f has an inverse function, then the following statements are true.

y = f −1(x) x

1. If f is continuous on its domain, then f 1 is continuous on its domain. 2. If f is differentiable on an interval containing c and fc  0, then f 1 is differentiable at f c.

The graph of f 1 is a reflection of the graph of f in the line y  x. Figure 3.33

When determining the derivative of an inverse function, you have two options: (1) you can apply Theorem 3.17, or (2) you can use implicit differentiation. The first approach is illustrated in Example 3, and the second in the proof of Theorem 3.18.

EXAMPLE 3 Finding the Derivative of an Inverse Function Find the derivative of the inverse tangent function. Solution Let f x  tan x,   2 < x <  2. Then let gx  arctan x be the inverse tangent function. To find the derivative of gx, use the fact that fx  sec2 x  tan2 x  1, and apply Theorem 3.17 as follows. g x

Derivatives of Inverse Trigonometric Functions In Section 3.4, you saw that the derivative of the transcendental function f x  ln x is the algebraic function fx  1 x. You will now see that the derivatives of the inverse trigonometric functions also are algebraic (even though the inverse trigonometric functions are themselves transcendental). The following theorem lists the derivatives of the six inverse trigonometric functions. Note that the derivatives of arccos u, arccot u, and arccsc u are the negatives of the derivatives of arcsin u, arctan u, and arcsec u, respectively.

There is no common agreement on the definition of arcsec x (or arccsc x) for negative values of x. When we defined the range of the arcsecant, we chose to preserve the reciprocal identity arcsec x  arccos1 x. For example, to evaluate arcsec2, you can write

EXPLORATION Suppose that you want to find a linear approximation to the graph of the function in Example 4. You decide to use the tangent line at the origin, as shown below. Use a graphing utility to describe an interval about the origin where the tangent line is within 0.01 unit of the graph of the function. What might a person mean by saying that the original function is “locally linear”?

arcsec2  arccos0.5  2.09. One of the consequences of the definition of the inverse secant function given in this text is that its graph has a positive slope at every x-value in its domain. This accounts for the absolute value sign in the formula for the derivative of arcsec x.

Review of Basic Differentiation Rules

The Granger Collection

In the 1600s, Europe was ushered into the scientific age by such great thinkers as Descartes, Galileo, Huygens, Newton, and Kepler. These men believed that nature is governed by basic laws—laws that can, for the most part, be written in terms of mathematical equations. One of the most influential publications of this period—Dialogue on the Great World Systems, by Galileo Galilei—has become a classic description of modern scientific thought. As mathematics has developed during the past few hundred years, a small number of elementary functions has proven sufficient for modeling most* phenomena in physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, economics, and a variety of other fields. An elementary function is a function from the following list or one that can be formed as the sum, product, quotient, or composition of functions in the list.

GALILEO GALILEI (1564–1642) Galileo’s approach to science departed from the accepted Aristotelian view that nature had describable qualities, such as “fluidity” and “potentiality.” He chose to describe the physical world in terms of measurable quantities, such as time, distance, force, and mass.

Finding Related Rates r

You have seen how the Chain Rule can be used to find dy dx implicitly. Another important use of the Chain Rule is to find the rates of change of two or more related variables that are changing with respect to time. For example, when water is drained out of a conical tank (see Figure 3.37), the volume V, the radius r, and the height h of the water level are all functions of time t. Knowing that these variables are related by the equation V

GUIDELINES FOR SOLVING RELATED-RATE PROBLEMS

NOTE When using these guidelines, be sure you perform Step 3 before Step 4. Substituting the known values of the variables before differentiating will produce an inappropriate derivative.

1. Identify all given quantities and quantities to be determined. Make a sketch and label the quantities. 2. Write an equation involving the variables whose rates of change either are given or are to be determined. 3. Using the Chain Rule, implicitly differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to time t. 4. After completing Step 3, substitute into the resulting equation all known values for the variables and their rates of change. Then solve for the required rate of change.

EXAMPLE 3 An Inflating Balloon Air is being pumped into a spherical balloon (see Figure 3.39) at a rate of 4.5 cubic feet per minute. Find the rate of change of the radius when the radius is 2 feet. Solution Let V be the volume of the balloon and let r be its radius. Because the volume is increasing at a rate of 4.5 cubic feet per minute, you know that at time t the rate of change of the volume is dV dt  92. So, the problem can be stated as shown. Given rate:

In Example 3, note that the volume is increasing at a constant rate but the radius is increasing at a variable rate. Just because two rates are related does not mean that they are proportional. In this particular case, the radius is growing more and more slowly as t increases. Do you see why?

Newton’s Method

Newton’s Method ■ Approximate a zero of a function using Newton’s Method.

Newton’s Method In this section you will study a technique for approximating the real zeros of a function. The technique is called Newton’s Method, and it uses tangent lines to approximate the graph of the function near its x-intercepts. To see how Newton’s Method works, consider a function f that is continuous on the interval a, b and differentiable on the interval a, b. If f a and f b differ in sign, then, by the Intermediate Value Theorem, f must have at least one zero in the interval a, b. Suppose you estimate this zero to occur at

as shown in Figure 3.44(a). Newton’s Method is based on the assumption that the graph of f and the tangent line at x1, f x1 both cross the x-axis at about the same point. Because you can easily calculate the x-intercept for this tangent line, you can use it as a second (and, usually, better) estimate of the zero of f. The tangent line passes through the point x1, f x1 with a slope of fx1. In point-slope form, the equation of the tangent line is therefore y  f x1  fx1x  x1 y  fx1x  x1  f x1.

Repeated application of this process is called Newton’s Method. NEWTON’S METHOD FOR APPROXIMATING THE ZEROS OF A FUNCTION

NEWTON’S METHOD Isaac Newton first described the method for approximating the real zeros of a function in his text Method of Fluxions. Although the book was written in 1671, it was not published until 1736. Meanwhile, in 1690, Joseph Raphson (1648–1715) published a paper describing a method for approximating the real zeros of a function that was very similar to Newton’s. For this reason, the method is often referred to as the NewtonRaphson method.

Let f c  0, where f is differentiable on an open interval containing c. Then, to approximate c, use the following steps. 1. Make an initial estimate x1 that is close to c. (A graph is helpful.) 2. Determine a new approximation xn1  xn 



f xn . fxn



3. If xn  xn1 is within the desired accuracy, let xn1 serve as the final approximation. Otherwise, return to Step 2 and calculate a new approximation. Each successive application of this procedure is called an iteration.

NOTE For many functions, just a few iterations of Newton’s Method will produce approximations having very small errors, as shown in Example 1.

EXAMPLE 1 Using Newton’s Method Calculate three iterations of Newton’s Method to approximate a zero of f x  x 2  2. Use x1  1 as the initial guess. Solution Because f x  x 2  2, you have fx  2x, and the iterative process is given by the formula xn1  xn

Of course, in this case you know that the two zeros of the function are ± 2. To six decimal places, 2  1.414214. So, after only three iterations of Newton’s Method, you have obtained an approximation that is within 0.000002 of an actual root. The first iteration of this process is shown in Figure 3.45.

When, as in Examples 1 and 2, the approximations approach a limit, the sequence x1, x2, x3, . . . , xn, . . . is said to converge. Moreover, if the limit is c, it can be shown that c must be a zero of f. Newton’s Method does not always yield a convergent sequence. One way it can fail to do so is shown in Figure 3.47. Because Newton’s Method involves division by fxn, it is clear that the method will fail if the derivative is zero for any xn in the sequence. When you encounter this problem, you can usually overcome it by choosing a different value for x1. Another way Newton’s Method can fail is shown in the next example. y

It can be shown that a condition sufficient to produce convergence of Newton’s Method to a zero of f is that

on an open interval containing the zero. For instance, in Example 1 this test would yield f x  x 2  2, fx  2x, f x  2, and

Example 1

On the interval 1, 3, this quantity is less than 1 and therefore the convergence of Newton’s Method is guaranteed. On the other hand, in Example 3, you have f x  x1 3, fx  13x2 3, f x   29x5 3, and Example 3

which is not less than 1 for any value of x, so you cannot conclude that Newton’s Method will converge.

EVARISTE GALOIS (1811–1832) Although the lives of both Abel and Galois were brief, their work in the fields of analysis and abstract algebra was far-reaching.

The determination of radical solutions of a polynomial equation is one of the fundamental problems of algebra. The earliest such result is the Quadratic Formula, which dates back at least to Babylonian times. The general formula for the zeros of a cubic function was developed much later. In the sixteenth century an Italian mathematician, Jerome Cardan, published a method for finding radical solutions to cubic and quartic equations. Then, for 300 years, the problem of finding a general quintic formula remained open. Finally, in the nineteenth century, the problem was answered independently by two young mathematicians. Niels Henrik Abel, a Norwegian mathematician, and Evariste Galois, a French mathematician, proved that it is not possible to solve a general fifth- (or higher-) degree polynomial equation by radicals. Of course, you can solve particular fifth-degree equations such as x5  1  0, but Abel and Galois were able to show that no general radical solution exists.

A small aircraft starts its descent from an altitude of 1 mile, 4 miles west of the runway. Given a function that models the glide path of the plane, when would the plane be descending at the greatest rate? (See Section 4.4, Exercise 91.)

In Chapter 4, you will use calculus to analyze graphs of functions. For example, you can use the derivative of a function to determine the function’s maximum and minimum values. You can use limits to identify any asymptotes of the function’s graph. In Section 4.6, you will combine these techniques to sketch the graph of a function.

Extrema of a Function In calculus, much effort is devoted to determining the behavior of a function f on an interval I. Does f have a maximum value on I ? Does it have a minimum value? Where is the function increasing? Where is it decreasing? In this chapter you will learn how derivatives can be used to answer these questions. You will also see why these questions are important in real-life applications.

Apago PDF Enhancer A function need not have a minimum or a maximum on an interval. For instance,

in Figure 4.1(a) and (b), you can see that the function f x  x 2  1 has both a minimum and a maximum on the closed interval 1, 2, but does not have a maximum on the open interval 1, 2. Moreover, in Figure 4.1(c), you can see that continuity (or the lack of it) can affect the existence of an extremum on the interval. This suggests the following theorem. (Although the Extreme Value Theorem is intuitively plausible, a proof of this theorem is not within the scope of this text.)

1. f c is the minimum of f on I if f c f x for all x in I. 2. f c is the maximum of f on I if f c  f x for all x in I. The minimum and maximum of a function on an interval are the extreme values, or extrema (the singular form of extrema is extremum), of the function on the interval. The minimum and maximum of a function on an interval are also called the absolute minimum and absolute maximum, or the global minimum and global maximum, on the interval.

In Figure 4.2, the graph of f x  x 3  3x 2 has a relative maximum at the point 0, 0 and a relative minimum at the point 2, 4. Informally, for a continuous function, you can think of a relative maximum as occurring on a “hill” on the graph, and a relative minimum as occurring in a “valley” on the graph. Such a hill and valley can occur in two ways. If the hill (or valley) is smooth and rounded, the graph has a horizontal tangent line at the high point (or low point). If the hill (or valley) is sharp and peaked, the graph represents a function that is not differentiable at the high point (or low point).

1. If there is an open interval containing c on which f c is a maximum, then f c is called a relative maximum of f, or you can say that f has a relative maximum at c, f c. 2. If there is an open interval containing c on which f c is a minimum, then f c is called a relative minimum of f, or you can say that f has a relative minimum at c, f c. The plural of relative maximum is relative maxima, and the plural of relative minimum is relative minima. Relative maximum and relative minimum are sometimes called local maximum and local minimum, respectively.

Applications of Differentiation

Note in Example 1 that at each relative extremum, the derivative either is zero or does not exist. The x-values at these special points are called critical numbers. Figure 4.4 illustrates the two types of critical numbers. Notice in the definition that the critical number c has to be in the domain of f, but c does not have to be in the domain of f. TECHNOLOGY Use a graphing utility to examine the graphs of the following four functions. Only one of the functions has critical numbers. Which is it?

If f has a relative minimum or relative maximum at x  c, then c is a critical number of f.

PROOF

Case 1: If f is not differentiable at x  c, then, by definition, c is a critical number of f and the theorem is valid. Case 2: If f is differentiable at x  c, then fc must be positive, negative, or 0. Suppose fc is positive. Then fc  lim

PIERRE DE FERMAT (1601–1665) For Fermat, who was trained as a lawyer, mathematics was more of a hobby than a profession. Nevertheless, Fermat made many contributions to analytic geometry, number theory, calculus, and probability. In letters to friends, he wrote of many of the fundamental ideas of calculus, long before Newton or Leibniz. For instance, Theorem 4.2 is sometimes attributed to Fermat.

f x  f c > 0, for all x  c in a, b. xc

[See Exercise 84(b), Section 2.2.]

Because this quotient is positive, the signs of the denominator and numerator must agree. This produces the following inequalities for x-values in the interval a, b. x < c and f x < f c

f c is not a relative minimum.

Right of c: x > c and f x > f c

f c is not a relative maximum.

Left of c:

So, the assumption that f c > 0 contradicts the hypothesis that f c is a relative extremum. Assuming that f c < 0 produces a similar contradiction, you are left with only one possibility—namely, f c  0. So, by definition, c is a critical number of f ■ and the theorem is valid.

Extrema on an Interval

207

Finding Extrema on a Closed Interval Theorem 4.2 states that the relative extrema of a function can occur only at the critical numbers of the function. Knowing this, you can use the following guidelines to find extrema on a closed interval. GUIDELINES FOR FINDING EXTREMA ON A CLOSED INTERVAL To find the extrema of a continuous function f on a closed interval a, b, use the following steps. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Find the critical numbers of f in a, b. Evaluate f at each critical number in a, b. Evaluate f at each endpoint of a, b. The least of these values is the minimum. The greatest is the maximum.

The next three examples show how to apply these guidelines. Be sure you see that finding the critical numbers of the function is only part of the procedure. Evaluating the function at the critical numbers and the endpoints is the other part.

In Figure 4.5, note that the critical number x  0 does not yield a relative minimum or a relative maximum. This tells you that the converse of Theorem 4.2 is not true. In other words, the critical numbers of a function need not produce relative extrema.

From this derivative, you can see that the function has two critical numbers in the interval 1, 3. The number 1 is a critical number because f 1  0, and the number 0 is a critical number because f 0 does not exist. By evaluating f at these two numbers and at the endpoints of the interval, you can conclude that the minimum is f 1  5 and the maximum is f 0  0, as shown in the table.

Rolle’s Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem ■ Understand and use Rolle’s Theorem. ■ Understand and use the Mean Value Theorem.

Rolle’s Theorem ROLLE’S THEOREM French mathematician Michel Rolle first published the theorem that bears his name in 1691. Before this time, however, Rolle was one of the most vocal critics of calculus, stating that it gave erroneous results and was based on unsound reasoning. Later in life, Rolle came to see the usefulness of calculus.

The Extreme Value Theorem (Section 4.1) states that a continuous function on a closed interval a, b must have both a minimum and a maximum on the interval. Both of these values, however, can occur at the endpoints. Rolle’s Theorem, named after the French mathematician Michel Rolle (1652–1719), gives conditions that guarantee the existence of an extreme value in the interior of a closed interval.

EXPLORATION Extreme Values in a Closed Interval Sketch a rectangular coordinate plane on a piece of paper. Label the points 1, 3 and 5, 3. Using a pencil or pen, draw the graph of a differentiable function f that starts at 1, 3 and ends at 5, 3. Is there at least one point on the graph for which the derivative is zero? Would it be possible to draw the graph so that there isn’t a point for which the derivative is zero? Explain your reasoning.

Let f a  d  f b.

Case 1: If f x  d for all x in a, b, then f is constant on the interval and, by Theorem 3.2, fx  0 for all x in a, b. Case 2: Suppose f x > d for some x in a, b. By the Extreme Value Theorem, you know that f has a maximum at some c in the interval. Moreover, because f c > d, this maximum does not occur at either endpoint. So, f has a maximum in the open interval a, b. This implies that f c is a relative maximum and, by Theorem 4.2, c is a critical number of f. Finally, because f is differentiable at c, you can conclude that fc  0. Case 3: If f x < d for some x in a, b, you can use an argument similar to that in Case 2, but involving the minimum instead of the maximum. ■ From Rolle’s Theorem, you can see that if a function f is continuous on a, b and differentiable on a, b, and if f a  f b, then there must be at least one x-value between a and b at which the graph of f has a horizontal tangent, as shown in Figure 4.8(a). If the differentiability requirement is dropped from Rolle’s Theorem, f will still have a critical number in a, b, but it may not yield a horizontal tangent. Such a case is shown in Figure 4.8(b).

With most viewing windows, it appears that the function has a maximum of 1 when x  1 (see Figure 4.11). By evaluating the function at x  1, however, you can see that f 1  0. To determine the behavior of this function near x  1, you need to examine the graph analytically to get the complete picture.

JOSEPH-LOUIS LAGRANGE (1736–1813) The Mean Value Theorem was first proved by the famous mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange. Born in Italy, Lagrange held a position in the court of Frederick the Great in Berlin for 20 years. Afterward, he moved to France, where he met emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who is quoted as saying, “Lagrange is the lofty pyramid of the mathematical sciences.”

So, there exists a number c in a, b such that f  c

■

NOTE The “mean” in the Mean Value Theorem refers to the mean (or average) rate of change of f in the interval a, b. ■

Although the Mean Value Theorem can be used directly in problem solving, it is used more often to prove other theorems. In fact, some people consider this to be the most important theorem in calculus—it is closely related to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus discussed in Section 5.4. For now, you can get an idea of the versatility of the Mean Value Theorem by looking at the results stated in Exercises 89–97 in this section. The Mean Value Theorem has implications for both basic interpretations of the derivative. Geometrically, the theorem guarantees the existence of a tangent line that is parallel to the secant line through the points a, f a and b, f b, as shown in Figure 4.12. Example 3 illustrates this geometric interpretation of the Mean Value Theorem. In terms of rates of change, the Mean Value Theorem implies that there must be a point in the open interval a, b at which the instantaneous rate of change is equal to the average rate of change over the interval a, b. This is illustrated in Example 4.

EXAMPLE 4 Finding an Instantaneous Rate of Change Two stationary patrol cars equipped with radar are 5 miles apart on a highway, as shown in Figure 4.14. As a truck passes the first patrol car, its speed is clocked at 55 miles per hour. Four minutes later, when the truck passes the second patrol car, its speed is clocked at 50 miles per hour. Prove that the truck must have exceeded the speed limit (of 55 miles per hour) at some time during the 4 minutes.

Solution Let t  0 be the time (in hours) when the truck passes the first patrol car. The time when the truck passes the second patrol car is t = 4 minutes

At some time t, the instantaneous velocity is equal to the average velocity over 4 minutes. Figure 4.14

By letting st represent the distance (in miles) traveled by the truck, you have 1 s0  0 and s15   5. So, the average velocity of the truck over the five-mile stretch of highway is Average velocity

Assuming that the position function is differentiable, you can apply the Mean Value Theorem to conclude that the truck must have been traveling at a rate of 75 miles per hour sometime during the 4 minutes. ■ A useful alternative form of the Mean Value Theorem is as follows: If f is continuous on a, b and differentiable on a, b, then there exists a number c in a, b such that f b  f a  b  a fc.

A function is increasing if, as x moves to the right, its graph moves up, and is decreasing if its graph moves down. For example, the function in Figure 4.15 is decreasing on the interval  , a, is constant on the interval a, b, and is increasing on the interval b, . As shown in Theorem 4.5 below, a positive derivative implies that the function is increasing; a negative derivative implies that the function is decreasing; and a zero derivative on an entire interval implies that the function is constant on that interval.

Let f be a function that is continuous on the closed interval a, b and differentiable on the open interval a, b. 1. If fx > 0 for all x in a, b, then f is increasing on a, b. 2. If fx < 0 for all x in a, b, then f is decreasing on a, b. 3. If fx  0 for all x in a, b, then f is constant on a, b.

To prove the first case, assume that fx > 0 for all x in the interval a, b and let x1 < x2 be any two points in the interval. By the Mean Value Theorem, you know that there exists a number c such that x1 < c < x2, and PROOF

PROOF Assume that f x changes from negative to positive at c. Then there exist a and b in I such that

f x < 0 for all x in a, c and f x > 0 for all x in c, b. By Theorem 4.5, f is decreasing on a, c and increasing on c, b. So, f c is a minimum of f on the open interval a, b and, consequently, a relative minimum of f. This proves the first case of the theorem. The second case can be proved in a similar way (see Exercise 120). ■

where y is the height, x is the horizontal distance, g is the acceleration due to gravity, v0 is the initial velocity, and h is the initial height. (This equation is derived in Section 12.3.) Let g  32 feet per second per second, v0  24 feet per second, and h  9 feet. What value of  will produce a maximum horizontal distance? If a projectile is propelled from ground level and air resistance is neglected, the object will travel farthest with an initial angle of 45. If, however, the projectile is propelled from a point above ground level, the angle that yields a maximum horizontal distance is not 45 (see Example 5).

Solution To find the distance the projectile travels, let y  0 and use the Quadratic Formula to solve for x. g sec2  2 x  tan x  h  0 2v02 32 sec2  2 x  tan x  9  0 2242 sec2  2  x  tan x  9  0 36 tan  ± tan2   sec2  sec2  18 x  18 cos  sin   sin2   1 , x

At this point, you need to find the value of  that produces a maximum value of x. Applying the First Derivative Test by hand would be very tedious.

Concavity and the Second Derivative Test ■ Determine intervals on which a function is concave upward or concave downward. ■ Find any points of inflection of the graph of a function. ■ Apply the Second Derivative Test to find relative extrema of a function.

Concavity You have already seen that locating the intervals on which a function f increases or decreases helps to describe its graph. In this section, you will see how locating the intervals on which f increases or decreases can be used to determine where the graph of f is curving upward or curving downward. DEFINITION OF CONCAVITY Let f be differentiable on an open interval I. The graph of f is concave upward on I if f is increasing on the interval and concave downward on I if f is decreasing on the interval.

The following graphical interpretation of concavity is useful. (See Appendix A for a proof of these results.)

Concave m = 0 downward −2

1. Let f be differentiable on an open interval I. If the graph of f is concave upward on I, then the graph of f lies above all of its tangent lines on I. [See Figure 4.24(a).] 2. Let f be differentiable on an open interval I. If the graph of f is concave downward on I, then the graph of f lies below all of its tangent lines on I. [See Figure 4.24(b).]

(b) The graph of f lies below its tangent lines.

Figure 4.24

To find the open intervals on which the graph of a function f is concave upward or downward, you need to find the intervals on which f is increasing or decreasing. For instance, the graph of f x  13x3  x is concave downward on the open interval  , 0 because fx  x2  1 is decreasing there. (See Figure 4.25.) Similarly, the graph of f is concave upward on the interval 0,  because f is increasing on 0, .

4.4

Concavity and the Second Derivative Test

231

The following theorem shows how to use the second derivative of a function f to determine intervals on which the graph of f is concave upward or concave downward. A proof of this theorem (see Appendix A) follows directly from Theorem 4.5 and the definition of concavity. THEOREM 4.7 TEST FOR CONCAVITY Let f be a function whose second derivative exists on an open interval I. 1. If f x > 0 for all x in I, then the graph of f is concave upward on I. 2. If f x < 0 for all x in I, then the graph of f is concave downward on I. Note that a third case of Theorem 4.7 could be that if f x  0 for all x in I, then f is linear. Note, however, that concavity is not defined for a line. In other words, a straight line is neither concave upward nor concave downward. To apply Theorem 4.7, first locate the x-values at which f x  0 or f does not exist. Second, use these x-values to determine test intervals. Finally, test the sign of f x in each of the test intervals.

Points of Inflection

y

The graph in Figure 4.26 has two points at which the concavity changes. If the tangent line to the graph exists at such a point, that point is a point of inflection. Three types of points of inflection are shown in Figure 4.28.

Concave upward

DEFINITION OF POINT OF INFLECTION x

y

Concave downward

Concave upward x

The concavity of f changes at a point of inflection. Note that a graph crosses its tangent line at a point of inflection. Figure 4.28

Let f be a function that is continuous on an open interval and let c be a point in the interval. If the graph of f has a tangent line at this point c, f c, then this point is a point of inflection of the graph of f if the concavity of f changes from upward to downward (or downward to upward) at the point.

NOTE The definition of point of inflection given above requires that the tangent line exists at the point of inflection. Some books do not require this. For instance, we do not consider the function

f x 



x3, x 2  2x,

x < 0 x  0

to have a point of inflection at the origin, even though the concavity of the graph changes from concave downward to concave upward. ■

Find first derivative.

Setting f x  0, you can determine that the possible points of inflection occur at x  0 and x  2. By testing the intervals determined by these x-values, you can conclude that they both yield points of inflection. A summary of this testing is shown in the table, and the graph of f is shown in Figure 4.29.

Write original function.

The converse of Theorem 4.8 is not generally true. That is, it is possible for the second derivative to be 0 at a point that is not a point of inflection. For instance, the graph of f x  x 4 is shown in Figure 4.30. The second derivative is 0 when x  0, but the point 0, 0 is not a point of inflection because the graph of f is concave upward on both intervals   < x < 0 and 0 < x < . EXPLORATION Consider a general cubic function of the form f x  ax3  bx2  cx  d. You know that the value of d has a bearing on the location of the graph but has no bearing on the value of the first derivative at given values of x. Graphically, this is true because changes in the value of d shift the graph up or down but do not change its basic shape. Use a graphing utility to graph several cubics with different values of c. Then give a graphical explanation of why changes in c do not affect the values of the second derivative.

Applications of Differentiation

The Second Derivative Test In addition to testing for concavity, the second derivative can be used to perform a simple test for relative maxima and minima. The test is based on the fact that if the graph of a function f is concave upward on an open interval containing c, and fc  0, f c must be a relative minimum of f. Similarly, if the graph of a function f is concave downward on an open interval containing c, and fc  0, f c must be a relative maximum of f (see Figure 4.31).

f ″(c) < 0

Concave downward

Let f be a function such that fc  0 and the second derivative of f exists on an open interval containing c. 1. If f c > 0, then f c is a relative minimum. 2. If f c < 0, then f c is a relative maximum. If f c  0, the test fails. That is, f may have a relative maximum, a relative minimum, or neither. In such cases, you can use the First Derivative Test.

So, 0, 0 is neither a relative minimum nor a relative maximum (even though the graph has a horizontal tangent line at this point). The graph of f is shown in Figure 4.32. ■

Horizontal Asymptotes In Figure 4.34, the graph of f approaches the line y  L as x increases without bound. The line y  L is called a horizontal asymptote of the graph of f. DEFINITION OF HORIZONTAL ASYMPTOTE The line y  L is a horizontal asymptote of the graph of f if lim f x  L or

lim f x  L.

Note that from this definition, it follows that the graph of a function of x can have at most two horizontal asymptotes—one to the right and one to the left.

MARIA GAETANA AGNESI (1718–1799) Agnesi was one of a handful of women to receive credit for significant contributions to mathematics before the twentieth century. In her early twenties, she wrote the first text that included both differential and integral calculus. By age 30, she was an honorary member of the faculty at the University of Bologna.

You can conclude that the limit does not exist because the numerator increases without bound while the denominator approaches 3. ■ GUIDELINES FOR FINDING LIMITS AT ± OF RATIONAL FUNCTIONS 1. If the PDF degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, Apago Enhancer then the limit of the rational function is 0. 2. If the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator, then the limit of the rational function is the ratio of the leading coefficients. 3. If the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator, then the limit of the rational function does not exist.

Use these guidelines to check the results in Example 3. These limits seem reasonable when you consider that for large values of x, the highest-power term of the rational function is the most “influential” in determining the limit. For instance, the limit as x approaches infinity of the function

f has a horizontal asymptote at y  0. Figure 4.37

is 0 because the denominator overpowers the numerator as x increases or decreases without bound, as shown in Figure 4.37. The function shown in Figure 4.37 is a special case of a type of curve studied by the Italian mathematician Maria Gaetana Agnesi. The general form of this function is f x

In Figure 4.37, you can see that the function f x 

1 x2  1

approaches the same horizontal asymptote to the right and to the left. This is always true of rational functions. Functions that are not rational, however, may approach different horizontal asymptotes to the right and to the left. A common example of such a function is the logistic function shown in the next example.

EXAMPLE 4 A Function with Two Horizontal Asymptotes Show that the logistic function f x

y  1 is a horizontal asymptote to the right.

For the horizontal asymptote to the left, note that as x →   the denominator of 1 1  ex approaches infinity. So, the quotient approaches 0 and thus the limit is 0. You can conclude that y  0 is a horizontal asymptote to the left. ■ 2

TECHNOLOGY PITFALL If you use a graphing utility to help estimate a limit, be sure that you also confirm the estimate analytically—the pictures shown by a graphing utility can be misleading. For instance, Figure 4.39 shows one view of the graph of

y −1

The horizontal asymptote appears to be the line y  1 but it is actually the line y  2. Figure 4.39

x3

2x 3  1000x 2  x .  1000x 2  x  1000

From this view, one could be convinced that the graph has y  1 as a horizontal asymptote. An analytical approach shows that the horizontal asymptote is actually y  2. Confirm this by enlarging the viewing window on the graphing utility.

Infinite Limits at Infinity Many functions do not approach a finite limit as x increases (or decreases) without bound. For instance, no polynomial function has a finite limit at infinity. The following definition is used to describe the behavior of polynomial and other functions at infinity. DEFINITION OF INFINITE LIMITS AT INFINITY

NOTE Determining whether a function has an infinite limit at infinity is useful in analyzing the “end behavior” of its graph. You will see examples of this in Section 4.6 on curve sketching.

Let f be a function defined on the interval a, . 1. The statement lim f x  x→ 

 means that for each positive number M, there

is a corresponding number N > 0 such that f x > M whenever x > N. 2. The statement lim f x    means that for each negative number M, x→ 

there is a corresponding number N > 0 such that f x < M whenever x > N.

Similar definitions can be given for the statements lim f x   .

A Summary of Curve Sketching ■ Analyze and sketch the graph of a function.

Analyzing the Graph of a Function It would be difficult to overstate the importance of using graphs in mathematics. Descartes’s introduction of analytic geometry contributed significantly to the rapid advances in calculus that began during the mid-seventeenth century. In the words of Lagrange, “As long as algebra and geometry traveled separate paths, their advance was slow and their applications limited. But when these two sciences joined company, they drew from each other fresh vitality and thenceforth marched on at a rapid pace toward perfection.” So far, you have studied several concepts that are useful in analyzing the graph of a function. • • • • • • • • • • •

When you are sketching the graph of a function, either by hand or with a graphing utility, remember that normally you cannot show the entire graph. The decision as to which part of the graph you choose to show is often crucial. For instance, which of the viewing windows in Figure 4.44 better represents the graph of f x  x3  25x2  74x  20?

− 1200

Different viewing windows for the graph of f x  x3  25x 2  74x  20 Figure 4.44

By seeing both views, it is clear that the second viewing window gives a more complete representation of the graph. But would a third viewing window reveal other interesting portions of the graph? To answer this, you need to use calculus to interpret the first and second derivatives. Here are some guidelines for determining a good viewing window for the graph of a function. GUIDELINES FOR ANALYZING THE GRAPH OF A FUNCTION 1. Determine the domain and range of the function. 2. Determine the intercepts, asymptotes, and symmetry of the graph. 3. Locate the x-values for which fx and f x either are zero or do not exist. Use the results to determine relative extrema and points of inflection.

NOTE In these guidelines, note the importance of algebra (as well as calculus) for solving the equations f x  0, fx  0, and f x  0. ■

SECTION PROJECT

Connecticut River Whenever the Connecticut River reaches a level of 105 feet above sea level, two Northampton, Massachusetts flood control station operators begin a round-the-clock river watch. Every 2 hours, they check the height of the river, using a scale marked off in tenths of a foot, and record the data in a log book. In the spring of 1996, the flood watch lasted from April 4, when the river reached 105 feet and was rising at 0.2 foot per hour, until April 25, when the level subsided again to 105 feet. Between those dates, their log shows that the river rose and fell several times, at one point coming close to the 115-foot mark. If the river had reached 115 feet, the city would have closed down Mount Tom Road (Route 5, south of Northampton).

Tangent Line Approximations

EXPLORATION Tangent Line Approximation Use a graphing utility to graph f x  x 2. In the same viewing window, graph the tangent line to the graph of f at the point 1, 1. Zoom in twice on the point of tangency. Does your graphing utility distinguish between the two graphs? Use the trace feature to compare the two graphs. As the x-values get closer to 1, what can you say about the y-values?

Newton’s Method (Section 3.8) is an example of the use of a tangent line to a graph to approximate the graph. In this section, you will study other situations in which the graph of a function can be approximated by a straight line. To begin, consider a function f that is differentiable at c. The equation for the tangent line at the point c, f c is given by y  f c  fcx  c y  f c  fcx  c and is called the tangent line approximation (or linear approximation) of f at c. Because c is a constant, y is a linear function of x. Moreover, by restricting the values of x to those sufficiently close to c, the values of y can be used as approximations (to any desired degree of accuracy) of the values of the function f. In other words, as x → c, the limit of y is f c.

Figure 4.64

Let y  f x represent a function that is differentiable on an open interval containing x. The differential of x (denoted by dx) is any nonzero real number. The differential of y (denoted by dy) is dy  fx dx.

In many types of applications, the differential of y can be used as an approximation of the change in y. That is, for small values of x  dx, y  dy PDF or y  fx dx. Apago Enhancer

Error Propagation Physicists and engineers tend to make liberal use of the approximation of y by dy. One way this occurs in practice is in the estimation of errors propagated by physical measuring devices. For example, if you let x represent the measured value of a variable and let x  x represent the exact value, then x is the error in measurement. Finally, if the measured value x is used to compute another value f x, the difference between f x  x and f x is the propagated error. Measurement error

EXAMPLE 3 Estimation of Error The measured radius of a ball bearing is 0.7 inch, as shown in Figure 4.66. If the measurement is correct to within 0.01 inch, estimate the propagated error in the volume V of the ball bearing. Solution The formula for the volume of a sphere is V  43  r 3, where r is the radius of the sphere. So, you can write r  0.7

The notation in Example 4 is called the Leibniz notation for derivatives and differentials, named after the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The beauty of this notation is that it provides an easy way to remember several important calculus formulas by making it seem as though the formulas were derived from algebraic manipulations of differentials. For instance, in Leibniz notation, the Chain Rule dy dy du  dx du dx would appear to be true because the du’s divide out. Even though this reasoning is incorrect, the notation does help one remember the Chain Rule.

Differentials can be used to approximate function values. To do this for the function given by y  f x, use the formula f x   x  f x  dy  f x  fx dx which is derived from the approximation y  f x   x  f x  dy. The key to using this formula is to choose a value for x that makes the calculations easier, as shown in Example 7. (This formula is equivalent to the tangent line approximation given earlier in this section.)

The function F is an antiderivative of f. DEFINITION OF ANTIDERIVATIVE A function F is an antiderivative of f on an interval I if Fx  f x for all x in I.

What strategy did you use to find F?

Note that F is called an antiderivative of f, rather than the antiderivative of f. To see why, observe that F1x  x 3,

F2x  x 3  5, and

F3x  x 3  97

are all antiderivatives of f x  3x 2. In fact, for any constant C, the function given by Fx  x 3  C is an antiderivative of f.

THEOREM 5.1 REPRESENTATION OF ANTIDERIVATIVES If F is an antiderivative of f on an interval I, then G is an antiderivative of f on the interval I if and only if G is of the form Gx  Fx  C, for all x in I, where C is a constant.

PROOF The proof of Theorem 5.1 in one direction is straightforward. That is, if Gx  Fx  C, Fx  f x, and C is a constant, then

To prove this theorem in the other direction, assume that G is an antiderivative of f. Define a function H such that Hx  G(x  Fx. For any two points a and b a < b in the interval, H is continuous on a, b and differentiable on a, b. By the Mean Value Theorem, Hc

Using Theorem 5.1, you can represent the entire family of antiderivatives of a function by adding a constant to a known antiderivative. For example, knowing that Dx x2  2x, you can represent the family of all antiderivatives of f x  2x by Gx  x2  C

where C is a constant. The constant C is called the constant of integration. The family of functions represented by G is the general antiderivative of f, and G(x  x2  C is the general solution of the differential equation Gx  2x.

A differential equation in x and y is an equation that involves x, y, and derivatives of y. For instance, y  3x and y  x2  1 are examples of differential equations.

Notation for Antiderivatives When solving a differential equation of the form dy  f x dx it is convenient to write it in the equivalent differential form dy  f x dx. The operation of finding all solutions of this equation is called antidifferentiation (or indefinite integration) and is denoted by an integral sign . The general solution is denoted by Variable of integration

NOTE In this text, the notation  f x dx  Fx  C means that F is an antiderivative of f on an interval.

Constant of integration

An antiderivative of f x

The expression  f x dx is read as the antiderivative of f with respect to x. So, the differential dx serves to identify x as the variable of integration. The term indefinite integral is a synonym for antiderivative.

Initial Conditions and Particular Solutions You have already seen that the equation y   f x dx has many solutions (each differing from the others by a constant).

In many applications of integration, you are given enough information to determine a particular solution. To do this, you need only know the value of y  Fx for one value of x. This information is called an initial condition. For example, in Figure 5.2, only one curve passes through the point (2, 4. To find this curve, you can use the following information.

C = −2 −3

C = −3 −4

EXAMPLE 8 Solving a Vertical Motion Problem A ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second from an initial height of 80 feet. a. Find the position function giving the height s as a function of the time t. b. When does the ball hit the ground? Solution a. Let t  0 represent the initial time. The two given initial conditions can be written as follows. s0  80 s0  64

Initial height is 80 feet. Initial velocity is 64 feet per second.

Using 32 feet per second per second as the acceleration due to gravity, you can write s t  32

st  12 gt 2  v0 t  s0 where g  32, v0 is the initial velocity, and s0 is the initial height, as presented in Section 3.2.

Example 8 shows how to use calculus to analyze vertical motion problems in which the acceleration is determined by a gravitational force. You can use a similar strategy to analyze other linear motion problems (vertical or horizontal) in which the acceleration (or deceleration) is the result of some other force, as you will see in Exercises 87–94.

Use sigma notation to write and evaluate a sum. Understand the concept of area. Approximate the area of a plane region. Find the area of a plane region using limits.

Sigma Notation In the preceding section, you studied antidifferentiation. In this section, you will look further into a problem introduced in Section 2.1—that of finding the area of a region in the plane. At first glance, these two ideas may seem unrelated, but you will discover in Section 5.4 that they are closely related by an extremely important theorem called the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. This section begins by introducing a concise notation for sums. This notation is called sigma notation because it uses the uppercase Greek letter sigma, written as . SIGMA NOTATION The sum of n terms a1, a2, a3, . . . , an is written as n

a  a i

1

 a2  a 3  . . .  an

i1

where i is the index of summation, ai is the ith term of the sum, and the upper and lower bounds of summation are n and 1.

Apago PDF Enhancer NOTE The upper and lower bounds must be constant with respect to the index of summation. However, the lower bound doesn’t have to be 1. Any integer less than or equal to the upper bound is legitimate. ■

THE SUM OF THE FIRST 100 INTEGERS A teacher of Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) asked him to add all the integers from 1 to 100. When Gauss returned with the correct answer after only a few moments, the teacher could only look at him in astounded silence. This is what Gauss did:

Area

297

Area In Euclidean geometry, the simplest type of plane region is a rectangle. Although people often say that the formula for the area of a rectangle is A  bh, it is actually more proper to say that this is the definition of the area of a rectangle. From this definition, you can develop formulas for the areas of many other plane regions. For example, to determine the area of a triangle, you can form a rectangle whose area is twice that of the triangle, as shown in Figure 5.5. Once you know how to find the area of a triangle, you can determine the area of any polygon by subdividing the polygon into triangular regions, as shown in Figure 5.6.

Finding the areas of regions other than polygons is more difficult. The ancient Greeks were able to determine formulas for the areas of some general regions (principally those bounded by conics) by the exhaustion method. The clearest description of this method was given by Archimedes. Essentially, the method is a limiting process in which the area is squeezed between two polygons—one inscribed in the region and one circumscribed about the region. For instance, in Figure 5.7 the area of a circular region is approximated by an n-sided inscribed polygon and an n-sided circumscribed polygon. For each value of n, the area of the inscribed polygon is less than the area of the circle, and the area of the circumscribed polygon is greater than the area of the circle. Moreover, as n increases, the areas of both polygons become better and better approximations of the area of the circle.

ARCHIMEDES (287–212 B.C.) Archimedes used the method of exhaustion to derive formulas for the areas of ellipses, parabolic segments, and sectors of a spiral. He is considered to have been the greatest applied mathematician of antiquity.

The Area of a Plane Region Recall from Section 2.1 that the origins of calculus are connected to two classic problems: the tangent line problem and the area problem. Example 3 begins the investigation of the area problem.

EXAMPLE 3 Approximating the Area of a Plane Region y

Use the five rectangles in Figure 5.8(a) and (b) to find two approximations of the area of the region lying between the graph of

f(x) = − x 2 + 5

f x  x 2  5 4

and the x-axis between x  0 and x  2.

3

Solution a. The right endpoints of the five intervals are 25i, where i  1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The width of each rectangle is 25, and the height of each rectangle can be obtained by evaluating f at the right endpoint of each interval.

Because the parabolic region lies within the union of the five rectangular regions, you can conclude that the area of the parabolic region is less than 8.08. By combining the results in parts (a) and (b), you can conclude that 6.48 < Area of region < 8.08.

■

NOTE By increasing the number of rectangles used in Example 3, you can obtain closer and 2 closer approximations of the area of the region. For instance, using 25 rectangles of width 25 each, you can conclude that

7.17 < Area of region < 7.49.

Upper and Lower Sums y

The procedure used in Example 3 can be generalized as follows. Consider a plane region bounded above by the graph of a nonnegative, continuous function y  f x, as shown in Figure 5.9. The region is bounded below by the x-axis, and the left and right boundaries of the region are the vertical lines x  a and x  b. To approximate the area of the region, begin by subdividing the interval a, b into n subintervals, each of width

Next, define an inscribed rectangle lying inside the ith subregion and a circumscribed rectangle extending outside the ith subregion. The height of the ith inscribed rectangle is f mi  and the height of the ith circumscribed rectangle is f Mi . For each i, the area of the inscribed rectangle is less than or equal to the area of the circumscribed rectangle. f (Mi )

Upper sum limit

The next theorem shows that the equivalence of the limits (as n → ) of the upper and lower sums is not mere coincidence. It is true for all functions that are continuous and nonnegative on the closed interval a, b. The proof of this theorem is best left to a course in advanced calculus. THEOREM 5.3 LIMITS OF THE LOWER AND UPPER SUMS Let f be continuous and nonnegative on the interval a, b. The limits as n →  of both the lower and upper sums exist and are equal to each other.

where x  b  a n and f mi  and f Mi  are the minimum and maximum values of f on the subinterval. Because the same limit is attained for both the minimum value f mi  and the maximum value f Mi , it follows from the Squeeze Theorem (Theorem 2.8) that the choice of x in the ith subinterval does not affect the limit. This means that you are free to choose an arbitrary x-value in the ith subinterval, as in the following definition of the area of a region in the plane.

Riemann Sums and Definite Integrals ■ Understand the definition of a Riemann sum. ■ Evaluate a definite integral using limits. ■ Evaluate a definite integral using properties of definite integrals.

Riemann Sums In the definition of area given in Section 5.2, the partitions have subintervals of equal width. This was done only for computational convenience. The following example shows that it is not necessary to have subintervals of equal width.

■

From Example 7 in Section 5.2, you know that the region shown in Figure 5.18 has an area of 13. Because the square bounded by 0 x 1 and 0 y 1 has an area of 1, you can conclude that the area of the region shown in Figure 5.17 has an area of 23. This agrees with the limit found in Example 1, even though that example used a partition having subintervals of unequal widths. The reason this particular partition gave the proper area is that as n increases, the width of the largest subinterval approaches zero. This is a key feature of the development of definite integrals.

Chapter 5

Integration

In the preceding section, the limit of a sum was used to define the area of a region in the plane. Finding area by this means is only one of many applications involving the limit of a sum. A similar approach can be used to determine quantities as diverse as arc lengths, average values, centroids, volumes, work, and surface areas. The following definition is named after Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann. Although the definite integral had been defined and used long before the time of Riemann, he generalized the concept to cover a broader category of functions. In the following definition of a Riemann sum, note that the function f has no restrictions other than being defined on the interval a, b. (In the preceding section, the function f was assumed to be continuous and nonnegative because we were dealing with the area under a curve.)

DEFINITION OF RIEMANN SUM

GEORG FRIEDRICH BERNHARD RIEMANN (1826–1866) German mathematician Riemann did his most famous work in the areas of non-Euclidean geometry, differential equations, and number theory. It was Riemann’s results in physics and mathematics that formed the structure on which Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity is based.

Let f be defined on the closed interval a, b, and let  be a partition of a, b given by a  x0 < x1 < x2 < . . . < xn1 < xn  b where xi is the width of the ith subinterval  xi1, xi . If ci is any point in the ith subinterval, then the sum n

 f c  x , i

i

xi1 ci xi

i1

is called a Riemann sum of f for the partition . NOTE The sums in Section 5.2 are examples of Riemann sums, but there are more general Apago PDF Enhancer Riemann sums than those covered there. ■

The width of the largest subinterval of a partition  is the norm of the partition and is denoted by . If every subinterval is of equal width, the partition is regular and the norm is denoted by   x 

ba . n

Regular partition

For a general partition, the norm is related to the number of subintervals of a, b in the following way. ba n 

So, the number of subintervals in a partition approaches infinity as the norm of the partition approaches 0. That is,  → 0 implies that n → . The converse of this statement is not true. For example, let n be the partition of the interval 0, 1 given by

It is not a coincidence that the notation used for definite integrals is similar to that used for indefinite integrals. You will see why in the next section when the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is introduced. For now it is important to see that definite integrals and indefinite integrals are different concepts. A definite integral is a number, whereas an indefinite integral is a family of functions. Though Riemann sums were defined for functions with very few restrictions, a sufficient condition for a function f to be integrable on a, b is that it is continuous on a, b. A proof of this theorem is beyond the scope of this text. STUDY TIP Later in this chapter, you will learn convenient methods for b calculating a f x dx for continuous functions. For now, you must use the limit definition.

THEOREM 5.4 CONTINUITY IMPLIES INTEGRABILITY If a function f is continuous on the closed interval a, b, then f is integrable b on a, b. That is, a f x dx exists.

EXPLORATION The Converse of Theorem 5.4 Is the converse of Theorem 5.4 true? That is, if a function is integrable, does it have to be continuous? Explain your reasoning and give examples. Describe the relationships among continuity, differentiability, and integrability. Which is the strongest condition? Which is the weakest? Which conditions imply other conditions?

Because the definite integral in Example 2 is negative, it does not represent the area of the region shown in Figure 5.20. Definite integrals can be positive, negative, or zero. For a definite integral to be interpreted as an area (as defined in Section 5.2), the function f must be continuous and nonnegative on a, b, as stated in the following theorem. The proof of this theorem is straightforward—you simply use the definition of area given in Section 5.2, because it is a Riemann sum.

Properties of Definite Integrals The definition of the definite integral of f on the interval a, b specifies that a < b. Now, however, it is convenient to extend the definition to cover cases in which a  b or a > b. Geometrically, the following two definitions seem reasonable. For instance, it makes sense to define the area of a region of zero width and finite height to be 0. DEFINITIONS OF TWO SPECIAL DEFINITE INTEGRALS

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Evaluate a definite integral using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Understand and use the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals. Find the average value of a function over a closed interval. Understand and use the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Understand and use the Net Change Theorem.

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus EXPLORATION Integration and Antidifferentiation Throughout this chapter, you have been using the integral symbol to denote an antiderivative (a family of functions) and a definite integral (a number). Antidifferentiation:



f x dx b

Definite integration:

f x dx

a

The use of this same symbol for both operations makes it appear that they are related. In the early work with calculus, however, it was not known that the two operations were related. Do you think the symbol  was first applied to antidifferentiation or to definite integration? Explain your reasoning. (Hint: The symbol was first used by Leibniz and was derived from the letter S.)

You have now been introduced to the two major branches of calculus: differential calculus (introduced with the tangent line problem) and integral calculus (introduced with the area problem). At this point, these two problems might seem unrelated—but there is a very close connection. The connection was discovered independently by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz and is stated in a theorem that is appropriately called the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Informally, the theorem states that differentiation and (definite) integration are inverse operations, in the same sense that division and multiplication are inverse operations. To see how Newton and Leibniz might have anticipated this relationship, consider the approximations shown in Figure 5.26. The slope of the tangent line was defined using the quotient y x (the slope of the secant line). Similarly, the area of a region under a curve was defined using the product yx (the area of a rectangle). So, at least in the primitive approximation stage, the operations of differentiation and definite integration appear to have an inverse relationship in the same sense that division and multiplication are inverse operations. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus states that the limit processes (used to define the derivative and definite integral) preserve this inverse relationship.

This important equation tells you that by repeatedly applying the Mean Value Theorem, you can always find a collection of ci’s such that the constant Fb  Fa is a Riemann sum of f on a, b for any partition.

The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals y

In Section 5.2, you saw that the area of a region under a curve is greater than the area of an inscribed rectangle and less than the area of a circumscribed rectangle. The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals states that somewhere “between” the inscribed and circumscribed rectangles there is a rectangle whose area is precisely equal to the area of the region under the curve, as shown in Figure 5.29. f

Case 1: If f is constant on the interval a, b, the theorem is clearly valid because c can be any point in a, b. Case 2: If f is not constant on a, b, then, by the Extreme Value Theorem, you can choose f m and f M to be the minimum and maximum values of f on a, b. Because f m f x f M for all x in a, b, you can apply Theorem 5.8 to write the following.

Speed of sound (in m/sec)

The first person to fly at a speed greater than the speed of sound was Charles Yeager. On October 14, 1947, Yeager was clocked at 295.9 meters per second at an altitude of 12.2 kilometers. If Yeager had been flying at an altitude below 11.275 kilometers, this speed would not have “broken the sound barrier.” The photo above shows an F-14 Tomcat, a supersonic, twin-engine strike fighter. Currently, the Tomcat can reach heights of 15.24 kilometers and speeds up to 2 mach (707.78 meters per second).

The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Earlier you saw that the definite integral of f on the interval a, b was defined using the constant b as the upper limit of integration and x as the variable of integration. However, a slightly different situation may arise in which the variable x is used as the upper limit of integration. To avoid the confusion of using x in two different ways, t is temporarily used as the variable of integration. (Remember that the definite integral is not a function of its variable of integration.)

You can think of the function Fx as accumulating the area under the curve f t  cos t from t  0 to t  x. For x  0, the area is 0 and F0  0. For x   2, F 2  1 gives the accumulated area under the cosine curve on the entire interval 0,  2. This interpretation of an integral as an accumulation function is used often in applications of integration.

Note that the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus tells you that if a function is continuous, you can be sure that it has an antiderivative. This antiderivative need not, however, be an elementary function. (Recall the discussion of elementary functions in Section 1.3.)

But because Fx)  f x, this statement can be rewritten as

where the quantity Fb  Fa) represents the net change of F on the interval a, b. THEOREM 5.12 THE NET CHANGE THEOREM The definite integral of the rate of change of a quantity F x gives the total change, or net change, in that quantity on the interval a, b.

Solution Let c t be the amount of the chemical in the tank at time t. Then c t represents the rate at which the chemical flows into the tank at time t. During the first 20 minutes, the amount that flows into the tank is

Another way to illustrate the Net Change Theorem is to examine the velocity of a particle moving along a straight line, where st is the position at time t. Then the particle’s velocity is vt  s t and



b

vt dt  sb  sa.

This definite integral represents the net change in position, or the displacement, of the particle.

Chapter 5

Integration

v

When calculating the total distance traveled by the particle, you must consider the intervals where vt 0 and the intervals where vt  0. When vt 0, the particle moves to the left, and when vt  0, the particle moves to the right. To calculate the total distance traveled, integrate the absolute value of velocity vt . So, the displacement of a particle and the total distance traveled by a particle over a, b can be written as

Use pattern recognition to find an indefinite integral. Use a change of variables to find an indefinite integral. Use the General Power Rule for Integration to find an indefinite integral. Use a change of variables to evaluate a definite integral. Evaluate a definite integral involving an even or odd function.

Pattern Recognition In this section you will study techniques for integrating composite functions. The discussion is split into two parts—pattern recognition and change of variables. Both techniques involve a u-substitution. With pattern recognition you perform the substitution mentally, and with change of variables you write the substitution steps. The role of substitution in integration is comparable to the role of the Chain Rule in differentiation. Recall that for differentiable functions given by y  Fu and u  gx, the Chain Rule states that d Fgx  Fgxgx. dx From the definition of an antiderivative, it follows that



Fgxgx dx  Fgx  C.

These results are summarized in the following theorem.

Apago PDF Enhancer OF A COMPOSITE FUNCTION THEOREM 5.13 ANTIDIFFERENTIATION NOTE The statement of Theorem 5.13 doesn’t tell how to distinguish between f gx and gx in the integrand. As you become more experienced at integration, your skill in doing this will increase. Of course, part of the key is familiarity with derivatives.

Let g be a function whose range is an interval I, and let f be a function that is continuous on I. If g is differentiable on its domain and F is an antiderivative of f on I, then



f gxgx dx  Fgx  C.

Letting u  gx gives du  gx dx and



f u du  Fu  C.

Examples 1 and 2 show how to apply Theorem 5.13 directly, by recognizing the presence of f gx and gx. Note that the composite function in the integrand has an outside function f and an inside function g. Moreover, the derivative gx is present as a factor of the integrand. Outside function

From this, you can recognize that the integrand follows the f gxgx pattern. Using the Exponential Rule for Integration and Theorem 5.13, you can write f  gx gx



e5x5 dx  e 5x  C.

You can check this by differentiating e 5x  C to obtain the original integrand.

The integrands in Examples 1 and 2 fit the f gxgx pattern exactly—you only had to recognize the pattern. You can extend this technique considerably with the Constant Multiple Rule





kf x dx  k f x dx.

Many integrands contain the essential part (the variable part) of gx but are missing a constant multiple. In such cases, you can multiply and divide by the necessary constant multiple, as shown in Example 3.

EXAMPLE 3 Multiplying and Dividing by a Constant Find



xx 2  12 dx.

x 2  12 dx 

1 2x



x 2  12 2x dx.

After all, if it were legitimate to move variable quantities outside the integral sign, you could move the entire integrand out and simplify the whole process. But the result would be incorrect. ■

Chapter 5

Integration

Change of Variables With a formal change of variables, you completely rewrite the integral in terms of u and du (or any other convenient variable). Although this procedure can involve more written steps than the pattern recognition illustrated in Examples 1 to 3, it is useful for complicated integrands. The change of variables technique uses the Leibniz notation for the differential. That is, if u  gx, then du  gx dx, and the integral in Theorem 5.13 takes the form



f gxgx dx 



f u du  Fu  C.

EXAMPLE 4 Change of Variables Find

Solution Because sin2 3x  sin 3x2, you can let u  sin 3x. Then du  cos 3x3 dx. Now, because cos 3x dx is part of the original integral, you can write du  cos 3x dx. 3 STUDY TIP When making a change of variables, be sure that your answer is written using the same variables as in the original integrand.

The General Power Rule for Integration One of the most common u-substitutions involves quantities in the integrand that are raised to a power. Because of the importance of this type of substitution, it is given a special name—the General Power Rule for Integration. A proof of this rule follows directly from the (simple) Power Rule for Integration, together with Theorem 5.13. THEOREM 5.14 THE GENERAL POWER RULE FOR INTEGRATION If g is a differentiable function of x, then

Some integrals whose integrands involve quantities raised to powers cannot be found by the General Power Rule. Consider the two integrals

and



x 2  12 dx.

The substitution u  x 2  1 works in the first integral but not in the second. In the second, the substitution fails because the integrand lacks the factor x needed for du. Fortunately, for this particular integral, you can expand the integrand as x 2  12  x 4  2x 2  1 and use the (simple) Power Rule to integrate each term.

Change of Variables for Definite Integrals When using u-substitution with a definite integral, it is often convenient to determine the limits of integration for the variable u rather than to convert the antiderivative back to the variable x and evaluate at the original limits. This change of variables is stated explicitly in the next theorem. The proof follows from Theorem 5.13 combined with the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

If you need to evaluate a definite integral involving a function whose antiderivative cannot be found, then while the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is still true, it cannot be easily applied. In this case, it is easier to resort to an approximation technique. Two such techniques are described in this section. One way to approximate a definite integral is to use n trapezoids, as shown in Figure 5.42. In the development of this method, assume that f is continuous and positive on the interval a, b. So, the definite integral



b

represents the area of the region bounded by the graph of f and the x-axis, from x  a to x  b. First, partition the interval a, b into n subintervals, each of width x  b  a n, such that

Then form a trapezoid for each subinterval (see Figure 5.43). The area of the ith trapezoid is f xi1  f xi b  a Area of ith trapezoid  . 2 n







This implies that the sum of the areas of the n trapezoids is f (x0 )

Trapezoidal approximations Figure 5.44





For this particular integral, you could have found an antiderivative and determined that the exact area of the region is 2. ■ TECHNOLOGY Most graphing utilities and computer algebra systems have built-in programs that can be used to approximate the value of a definite integral. Try using such a program to approximate the integral in Example 1. How close is your approximation? When you use such a program, you need to be aware of its limitations. Often, you are given no indication of the degree of accuracy of the approximation. Other times, you may be given an approximation that is completely wrong. For instance, try using a built-in numerical integration program to evaluate

It is interesting to compare the Trapezoidal Rule with the Midpoint Rule given in Section 5.2 (Exercises 73–76). For the Trapezoidal Rule, you average the function values at the endpoints of the subintervals, but for the Midpoint Rule you take the function values of the subinterval midpoints.

Trapezoidal Rule

NOTE There are two important points that should be made concerning the Trapezoidal Rule (or the Midpoint Rule). First, the approximation tends to become more accurate as n increases. For instance, in Example 1, if n  16, the Trapezoidal Rule yields an approximation of 1.994. Second, although you could have used the Fundamental Theorem to evaluate the integral in  Example 1, this theorem cannot be used to evaluate an integral as simple as 0 sin x2 dx because sin x2 has no elementary antiderivative. Yet, the Trapezoidal Rule can be applied easily to estimate this integral. ■

Simpson’s Rule One way to view the trapezoidal approximation of a definite integral is to say that on each subinterval you approximate f by a first-degree polynomial. In Simpson’s Rule, named after the English mathematician Thomas Simpson (1710–1761), you take this procedure one step further and approximate f by second-degree polynomials. Before presenting Simpson’s Rule, a theorem for evaluating integrals of polynomials of degree 2 (or less) is listed.

To develop Simpson’s Rule for approximating a definite integral, you again partition the interval a, b into n subintervals, each of width x  b  a n. This time, however, n is required to be even, and the subintervals are grouped in pairs such that

On each (double) subinterval xi2, xi, you can approximate f by a polynomial p of degree less than or equal to 2. (See Exercise 57.) For example, on the subinterval x0, x2, choose the polynomial of least degree passing through the points x0, y0, x1, y1, and x2, y2, as shown in Figure 5.45. Now, using p as an approximation of f on this subinterval, you have, by Theorem 5.18,

EXAMPLE 2 Approximation with Simpson’s Rule NOTE In Example 1, the Trapezoidal Rule with n  8 approximates 0 sin x dx as 1.974. In Example 2, Simpson’s Rule with n  8 gives an approximation of 2.0003. The antiderivative would produce the true value of 2.

Error Analysis If you must use an approximation technique, it is important to know how accurate you can expect the approximation to be. The following theorem, which is listed without proof, gives the formulas for estimating the errors involved in the use of Simpson’s Rule and the Trapezoidal Rule. In general, when using an approximation, you can b think of the error E as the difference between a f x dx and the approximation. THEOREM 5.20 ERRORS IN THE TRAPEZOIDAL RULE AND SIMPSON’S RULE





NOTE In Theorem 5.20, max fx is the least upper bound of the absolute value of the second derivative on a, b, and max f 4x is the least upper bound of the absolute value of the fourth derivative on a, b.



If f has a continuous second derivative on a, b, then the error E in approxib mating a f x dx by the Trapezoidal Rule is

Moreover, if f has a continuous fourth derivative on a, b, then the error E in b approximating a f x dx by Simpson’s Rule is

E TECHNOLOGY If you have access to a computer algebra system, use it to evaluate the definite integral in Example 3. You should obtain a value of

b  a3 max  f x , 12n2

b  a5 max  f 4x , a x b. 180n4

Simpson’s Rule

Theorem 5.20 states that the errors generated by the Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson’s Rule have upper bounds dependent on the extreme values of f x and f 4x in the interval a, b. Furthermore, these errors can be made arbitrarily small by increasing n, provided that f and f 4 are continuous and therefore bounded in a, b.

As you study the methods shown in Examples 5 and 6, be aware that both methods involve rewriting a disguised integrand so that it fits one or more of the basic integration formulas. Throughout the remaining sections of Chapter 5 and in Chapter 8, much time will be devoted to integration techniques. To master these techniques, you must recognize the “form-fitting” nature of integration. In this sense, integration is not nearly as straightforward as differentiation. Differentiation takes the form “Here is the question; what is the answer?” Integration is more like “Here is the answer; what is the question?” The following are guidelines you can use for integration. GUIDELINES FOR INTEGRATION 1. Learn a basic list of integration formulas. (By the end of Section 5.8, this list will have expanded to 20 basic rules.) 2. Find an integration formula that resembles all or part of the integrand, and, by trial and error, find a choice of u that will make the integrand conform to the formula. 3. If you cannot find a u-substitution that works, try altering the integrand. You might try a trigonometric identity, multiplication and division by the same quantity, addition and subtraction of the same quantity, or long division. Be creative. 4. If you have access to computer software that will find antiderivatives symbolically, use it.

EXAMPLE 7 u-Substitution and the Log Rule Solve the differential equation dy 1 .  dx x ln x Solution The solution can be written as an indefinite integral. y



1 dx x ln x

Because the integrand is a quotient whose denominator is raised to the first power, you should try the Log Rule. There are three basic choices for u. The choices u  x and u  x ln x fail to fit the u u form of the Log Rule. However, the third choice does fit. Letting u  ln x produces u  1 x, and you obtain the following.



STUDY TIP Keep in mind that you can check your answer to an integration problem by differentiating the answer. For instance, in Example 7, the derivative of y  ln ln x  C is y  1 x ln x.

 

1 dx  x ln x



1 x dx ln x u  dx u  ln u  C  ln ln x  C

   So, the solution is y  lnln x  C.

Divide numerator and denominator by x. Substitute: u  ln x. Apply Log Rule. Back-substitute. ■

Integrals of Trigonometric Functions In Section 5.1, you looked at six trigonometric integration rules—the six that correspond directly to differentiation rules. With the Log Rule, you can now complete the set of basic trigonometric integration formulas.

EXAMPLE 8 Using a Trigonometric Identity Find



tan x dx.

Solution This integral does not seem to fit any formulas on our basic list. However, by using a trigonometric identity, you obtain the following.

Example 8 uses a trigonometric identity to derive an integration rule for the

Apago PDF Enhancer tangent function. The next example takes a rather unusual step (multiplying and dividing by the same quantity) to derive an integration rule for the secant function.

EXAMPLE 9 Derivation of the Secant Formula Find

Solution Consider the following procedure.

x  tan x dx sec sec x  tan x

sec 2 x  sec x tan x dx sec x  tan x

Letting u be the denominator of this quotient produces u  sec x  tan x

u  sec x tan x  sec 2 x.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions: Integration

363

Inverse Trigonometric Functions: Integration ■ Integrate functions whose antiderivatives involve inverse trigonometric functions. ■ Use the method of completing the square to integrate a function. ■ Review the basic integration rules involving elementary functions.

Integrals Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions The derivatives of the six inverse trigonometric functions fall into three pairs. In each pair, the derivative of one function is the negative of the other. For example, 1 d arcsin x  dx 1  x 2 and d 1 arccos x   . dx 1  x 2 When listing the antiderivative that corresponds to each of the inverse trigonometric functions, you need to use only one member from each pair. It is conventional to use arcsin x as the antiderivative of 1 1  x 2, rather than arccos x. The next theorem gives one antiderivative formula for each of the three pairs. The proofs of these integration rules are left to you (see Exercises 87–89). ■ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION For a proof of rule 2 of Theorem 5.22, see the article “A Direct Proof of the Integral Formula for Arctangent” by Arnold J. Insel in The College Mathematics Journal. To view this article, go to the website www.matharticles.com.

TECHNOLOGY PITFALL

Computer software that can perform symbolic integration is useful for integrating functions such as the one in Example 2. When using such software, however, you must remember that it can fail to find an antiderivative for two reasons. First, some elementary functions simply do not have antiderivatives that are elementary functions. Second, every symbolic integration utility has limitations—you might have entered a function that the software was not programmed to handle. You should also remember that antiderivatives involving trigonometric functions or logarithmic functions can be written in many different forms. For instance, one symbolic integration utility found the integral in Example 2 to be

If the leading coefficient is not 1, it helps to factor before completing the square.

You can learn a lot about the nature of integration by comparing this list with the summary of differentiation rules given in Section 3.6. For differentiation, you now have rules that allow you to differentiate any elementary function. For integration, this is far from true. The integration rules listed above are primarily those that were happened on during the development of differentiation rules. So far, you have not learned any rules or techniques for finding the antiderivative of a general product or quotient, the natural logarithmic function, or the inverse trigonometric functions. More importantly, you cannot apply any of the rules in this list unless you can create the proper du corresponding to the u in the formula. The point is that you need to work more on integration techniques, which you will do in Chapter 8. The next two examples should give you a better feeling for the integration problems that you can and cannot do with the techniques and rules you now know.

Hyperbolic Functions In this section you will look briefly at a special class of exponential functions called hyperbolic functions. The name hyperbolic function arose from comparison of the area of a semicircular region, as shown in Figure 5.50, with the area of a region under a hyperbola, as shown in Figure 5.51. The integral for the semicircular region involves an inverse trigonometric (circular) function:

Inverse Hyperbolic Functions Unlike trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions are not periodic. In fact, by looking back at Figure 5.52, you can see that four of the six hyperbolic functions are actually one-to-one (the hyperbolic sine, tangent, cosecant, and cotangent). So, you can conclude that these four functions have inverse functions. The other two (the hyperbolic cosine and secant) are one-to-one if their domains are restricted to the positive real numbers, and for this restricted domain they also have inverse functions. Because the hyperbolic functions are defined in terms of exponential functions, it is not surprising to find that the inverse hyperbolic functions can be written in terms of logarithmic functions, as shown in Theorem 5.24.

SECTION PROJECT

St. Louis Arch The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri was constructed using the hyperbolic cosine function. The equation used for construction was y  693.8597  68.7672 cosh 0.0100333x, 299.2239 x 299.2239 where x and y are measured in feet. Cross sections of the arch are equilateral triangles, and x, y traces the path of the centers of mass of the cross-sectional triangles. For each value of x, the area of the cross-sectional triangle is A  125.1406 cosh 0.0100333x. (Source: Owner’s Manual for the Gateway Arch, Saint Louis, MO, by William Thayer)

Depending on the type of bacteria, the time it takes for a culture’s weight to double can vary greatly from several minutes to several days. How could you use a ■ differential equation to model the growth rate of a bacteria culture’s weight? (See Section 6.4, Exercise 34.)

A function y  f x is a solution of a differential equation if the equation is satisfied when y and its derivatives are replaced by f x and its derivatives. One way to solve a differential equation is to use slope fields, which show the general shape of all solutions of a differential equation. (See Section 6.1.)

General and Particular Solutions In this text, you will learn that physical phenomena can be described by differential equations. Recall that a differential equation in x and y is an equation that involves x, y, and derivatives of y. In Section 6.2, you will see that problems involving radioactive decay, population growth, and Newton’s Law of Cooling can be formulated in terms of differential equations. A function y  f x is called a solution of a differential equation if the equation is satisfied when y and its derivatives are replaced by f x and its derivatives. For example, differentiation and substitution would show that y  e2x is a solution of the differential equation y  2y  0. It can be shown that every solution of this differential equation is of the form y  Ce2x

General solution of y  2y  0

where C is any real number. This solution is called the general solution. Some differential equations have singular solutions that cannot be written as special cases of the general solution. However, such solutions are not considered in this text. The order of a differential equation is determined by the highest-order derivative in the equation. For instance, y  4y is a first-order differential equation. First-order linear differential equations are discussed in Section 6.5. In Section 5.1, Example 8, you saw that the second-order differential equation s t  32 has the general solution

Apago PDF Enhancer st  16t 2  C1t  C2

General solution of s t  32

which contains two arbitrary constants. It can be shown that a differential equation of order n has a general solution with n arbitrary constants.

b. y  4ex

c. y  Ce x

Solution a. Because y  sin x, y  cos x, and y  sin x, it follows that y  y  sin x  sin x  2 sin x  0. So, y  sin x is not a solution. b. Because y  4ex, y  4ex, and y  4ex, it follows that y  y  4ex  4ex  0. So, y  4ex is a solution. c. Because y  Ce x, y  Ce x, and y  Ce x, it follows that y  y  Ce x  Ce x  0. So, y  Cex is a solution for any value of C.

Slope Fields and Euler’s Method

General solution of xy  y  0

is a solution of the differential equation xy  y  0. Figure 6.1 shows four of the solution curves corresponding to different values of C. As discussed in Section 5.1, particular solutions of a differential equation are obtained from initial conditions that give the values of the dependent variable or one of its derivatives for particular values of the independent variable. The term “initial condition” stems from the fact that, often in problems involving time, the value of the dependent variable or one of its derivatives is known at the initial time t  0. For instance, the second-order differential equation s t  32 having the general solution st  16t 2  C1t  C2

Differential Equations

Slope Fields Solving a differential equation analytically can be difficult or even impossible. However, there is a graphical approach you can use to learn a lot about the solution of a differential equation. Consider a differential equation of the form y  Fx, y

Differential equation

where Fx, y is some expression in x and y. At each point x, y in the xy-plane where F is defined, the differential equation determines the slope y  Fx, y of the solution at that point. If you draw short line segments with slope Fx, y at selected points x, y in the domain of F, then these line segments form a slope field, or a direction field, for the differential equation y  Fx, y. Each line segment has the same slope as the solution curve through that point. A slope field shows the general shape of all the solutions and can be helpful in getting a visual perspective of the directions of the solutions of a differential equation. y

Continue to draw the solution curve so that it moves parallel to the nearby line segments. Do the same to the left of 1, 1. The resulting solution is shown in Figure 6.5. ■ In Example 5, note that the slope field shows that y increases to infinity as x increases. NOTE Drawing a slope field by hand is tedious.

that passes through the point x0, y0. From the given information, you know that the graph of the solution passes through the point x0, y0 and has a slope of Fx0, y0 at that point. This gives you a “starting point” for approximating the solution. From this starting point, you can proceed in the direction indicated by the slope. Using a small step h, move along the tangent line until you arrive at the point x1, y1, where

Differential Equations: Growth and Decay ■ Use separation of variables to solve a simple differential equation. ■ Use exponential functions to model growth and decay in applied problems.

Differential Equations In the preceding section, you learned to analyze visually the solutions of differential equations using slope fields and to approximate solutions numerically using Euler’s Method. Analytically, you have learned to solve only two types of differential equations—those of the forms y  f x and y  f x. In this section, you will learn how to solve a more general type of differential equation. The strategy is to rewrite the equation so that each variable occurs on only one side of the equation. This strategy is called separation of variables. (You will study this strategy in detail in Section 6.3.)

TECHNOLOGY Most graphing utilities have curve-fitting capabilities that can be used to find models that represent data. Use the exponential regression feature of a graphing utility and the information in Example 2 to find a model for the data. How does your model compare with the given model?

Radioactive decay is measured in terms of half-life—the number of years required for half of the atoms in a sample of radioactive material to decay. The rate of decay is proportional to the amount present. The half-lives of some common radioactive isotopes are shown below.

EXAMPLE 4 Population Growth Suppose an experimental population of fruit flies increases according to the law of exponential growth. There were 100 flies after the second day of the experiment and 300 flies after the fourth day. Approximately how many flies were in the original population? Solution Let y  Cekt be the number of flies at time t, where t is measured in days. Note that y is continuous whereas the number of flies is discrete. Because y  100 when t  2 and y  300 when t  4, you can write 100  Ce2k and

300  Ce4k.

From the first equation, you know that C  100e2k. Substituting this value into the second equation produces the following. 300  100e2ke4k 300  100e2k ln 3  2k

In Examples 2 through 5, you did not actually have to solve the differential equation y  ky. (This was done once in the proof of Theorem 6.1.) The next example demonstrates a problem whose solution involves the separation of variables technique. The example concerns Newton’s Law of Cooling, which states that the rate of change in the temperature of an object is proportional to the difference between the object’s temperature and the temperature of the surrounding medium.

EXAMPLE 6 Newton’s Law of Cooling Let y represent the temperature in  F of an object in a room whose temperature is kept at a constant 60. If the object cools from 100 to 90 in 10 minutes, how much longer will it take for its temperature to decrease to 80? Solution From Newton’s Law of Cooling, you know that the rate of change in y is proportional to the difference between y and 60. This can be written as y  k y  60,

80 y 100.

To solve this differential equation, use separation of variables, as follows. dy  k y  60 dt

In electrostatics, lines of force are orthogonal to the equipotential curves. In thermodynamics, the flow of heat across a plane surface is orthogonal to the isothermal curves. In hydrodynamics, the flow (stream) lines are orthogonal trajectories of the velocity potential curves.

The Logistic Equation ■ Solve and analyze logistic differential equations. ■ Use logistic differential equations to model and solve applied problems.

Logistic Differential Equation In Section 6.2, the exponential growth model was derived from the fact that the rate of change of a variable y is proportional to the value of y. You observed that the differential equation dy dt  ky has the general solution y  Ce kt. Exponential growth is unlimited, but when describing a population, there often exists some upper limit L past which growth cannot occur. This upper limit L is called the carrying capacity, which is the maximum population yt that can be sustained or supported as time t increases. A model that is often used to describe this type of growth is the logistic differential equation



dy y  ky 1  dt L



Logistic differential equation

where k and L are positive constants. A population that satisfies this equation does not grow without bound, but approaches the carrying capacity L as t increases. From the equation, you can see that if y is between 0 and the carrying capacity L, then dy dt > 0, and the population increases. If y is greater than L, then dy dt < 0, and the population decreases. The general solution of the logistic differential equation is derived in the next example.

First-Order Linear Differential Equations In this section, you will see how to solve a very important class of first-order differential equations—first-order linear differential equations. DEFINITION OF FIRST-ORDER LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION A first-order linear differential equation is an equation of the form dy  Pxy  Qx dx where P and Q are continuous functions of x. This first-order linear differential equation is said to be in standard form.

NOTE It is instructive to see why the integrating factor helps solve a linear differential equation of the form y  Pxy  Qx. When both sides of the equation are multiplied by the integrating factor ux  e Px dx, the left-hand side becomes the derivative of a product.

Figure 6.31

A tank contains 50 gallons of a solution composed of 90% water and 10% alcohol. A second solution containing 50% water and 50% alcohol is added to the tank at the rate of 4 gallons per minute. As the second solution is being added, the tank is being drained at a rate of 5 gallons per minute, as shown in Figure 6.31. Assuming the solution in the tank is stirred constantly, how much alcohol is in the tank after 10 minutes? Solution Let y be the number of gallons of alcohol in the tank at any time t. You know that y  5 when t  0. Because the number of gallons of solution in the tank at any time is 50  t, and the tank loses 5 gallons of solution per minute, it must lose

50 5 t y gallons of alcohol per minute. Furthermore, because the tank is gaining 2 gallons of alcohol per minute, the rate of change of alcohol in the tank is given by

In most falling-body problems discussed so far in the text, air resistance has been neglected. The next example includes this factor. In the example, the air resistance on the falling object is assumed to be proportional to its velocity v. If g is the gravitational constant, the downward force F on a falling object of mass m is given by the difference mg  kv. If a is the acceleration of the object, then by Newton’s Second Law of Motion F  ma m

A simple electric circuit consists of an electric current I (in amperes), a resistance R (in ohms), an inductance L (in henrys), and a constant electromotive force E (in volts), as shown in Figure 6.32. According to Kirchhoff’s Second Law, if the switch S is closed when t  0, the applied electromotive force (voltage) is equal to the sum of the voltage drops in the rest of the circuit. This in turn means that the current I satisfies the differential equation L

Weight Loss A person’s weight depends on both the number of calories consumed and the energy used. Moreover, the amount of energy used depends on a person’s weight—the average amount of energy used by a person is 17.5 calories per pound per day. So, the more weight a person loses, the less energy a person uses (assuming that the person maintains a constant level of activity). An equation that can be used to model weight loss is



dw C 17.5   w dt 3500 3500

where w is the person’s weight (in pounds), t is the time in days, and C is the constant daily calorie consumption.

(a) Find the general solution of the differential equation. (b) Consider a person who weighs 180 pounds and begins a diet of 2500 calories per day. How long will it take the person to lose 10 pounds? How long will it take the person to lose 35 pounds? (c) Use a graphing utility to graph the solution. What is the “limiting” weight of the person? (d) Repeat parts (b) and (c) for a person who weighs 200 pounds when the diet is started. ■ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION For more information on modeling weight loss, see the article “A Linear Diet Model” by Arthur C.

Predator-Prey Differential Equations ■ Analyze predator-prey differential equations. ■ Analyze competing-species differential equations.

Predator-Prey Differential Equations ALFRED LOTKA (1880–1949) VITO VOLTERRA (1860–1940) Although Alfred Lotka and Vito Volterra both worked on other problems, they are most known for their work on predator-prey equations. Lotka was also a statistician, and Volterra did work in the development of integral equations and functional analysis.

In the 1920s, mathematicians Alfred Lotka (1880–1949) and Vito Volterra (1860–1940) independently developed mathematical models to represent many of the different ways in which two species can interact with each other. Two common ways in which species interact with each other are as predator and prey, and as competing species. Consider a predator-prey relationship involving foxes (predators) and rabbits (prey). Assume that the rabbits are the primary food source for the foxes, the rabbits have an unlimited food supply, and there is no threat to the rabbits other than from the foxes. Let x represent the number of rabbits, let y represent the number of foxes, and let t represent time. If there are no foxes, then the rabbit population will grow according to the exponential growth model dx dt  ax, a > 0. If there are foxes but no rabbits, the foxes have no food and their population will decay according to the exponential decay model dy dt  my, m > 0. If both foxes and rabbits are present, there is an interaction rate of decline for the rabbit population given by bxy, and an interaction rate of increase in the fox population given by nxy, where b, n > 0. So, the rates of change of each population can be modeled by the following predator-prey system of differential equations. dx  ax  bxy dt dy  my  nxy dt

Rate of change of prey

Apago PDF Enhancer Rate of change of predators

These equations are called predator-prey equations or Lotka-Volterra equations. The equations are autonomous because the rates of change do not depend explicitly on time t. In general, it is not possible to solve the predator-prey equations explicitly for x and y. However, you can use techniques such as Euler's Method to approximate solutions. Also, you can discover properties of the solutions by analyzing the differential equations.

EXAMPLE 1 Analyzing Predator-Prey Equations Write the predator-prey equations for a  0.04, b  0.002, m  0.08, and n  0.0004. Then find the values of x and y for which dx dt  dy dt  0. Solution For a  0.04, b  0.002, m  0.08, and n  0.0004, the predator-prey equations are: dx  0.04x  0.002xy dt

You have used slope fields (or direction fields) to analyze solutions of differential equations. In Example 2, the graph shows the curves plotted together with time t along the horizontal axis. You can also use the predator-prey equations dy dt and dx dt to graph a slope field. The slope field is graphed using the x-axis to represent the prey and the y-axis to represent the predators.

Differential Equations

Competing Species Consider two species that compete with each other for the food available in their common environment. Assume that their populations are given by x and y at time t. If there were no interaction or competition between the species, then the populations x and y would each have logistic growth and would satisfy the following differential equations. dx  ax  bx2 dt dy  my  ny 2 dt

Rate of change of first species without interaction

Rate of change of second species without interaction

If the species interact, then their competition for resources causes a rate of decline in each population proportional to the product xy. Using a negative interaction factor leads to the following competing-species equations (where a, b, c, m, n, and p are positive constants). dx  ax  bx2  cxy dt dy  my  ny 2  pxy dt

Rate of change of first species with interaction

Rate of change of second species with interaction

In this text it is assumed that competing-species equations have four critical points, as shown in Example 5.

dy  my  ny 2  pxy dt

bm  ap . ,  mn , ab, 0 , and anbn  mc cp bn  cp

are 0, 0, 0,

Solution Set dx dt and dy dt equal to 0 and then factor to obtain the following system. xa  bx  cy  0 ym  ny  px  0

Set dx dt equal to 0 and factor out x. Set dy dt equal to 0 and factor out y.

If x  0, then y  0 or y  m n. If y  0, then x  0 or x  a b. So three of the critical points are 0, 0, 0, m n, and a b, 0. At each of these critical points, one of the populations is 0. These points represent the possibility that both species cannot coexist. The fourth critical point is obtained by solving the system a  bx  cy  0 m  ny  px  0. The solution of this system is

 x, y 

bm  ap . , anbn  mc cp bn  cp

Assuming this point exists and lies in Quadrant I of the xy-plane, the point represents the possibility that both species can coexist. ■

Examples 6 and 7 imply general conclusions about competing-species equations that have precisely four critical points. In general, it can be shown that if bn > cp, both species survive.

The disk method is one method that is used to find the volume of a solid. This method requires finding the sum of the volumes of representative disks to approximate the volume of the solid. As you increase the number of disks, the approximation tends to become more accurate. In Section 7.2, you will use limits to write the exact volume of the solid as a definite integral.

With a few modifications, you can extend the application of definite integrals from the area of a region under a curve to the area of a region between two curves. Consider two functions f and g that are continuous on the interval a, b. If, as in Figure 7.1, the graphs of both f and g lie above the x-axis, and the graph of g lies below the graph of f, you can geometrically interpret the area of the region between the graphs as the area of the region under the graph of g subtracted from the area of the region under the graph of f, as shown in Figure 7.2.

So, the two graphs intersect when x  2, 0, and 2. In Figure 7.8, notice that gx f x on the interval 2, 0. However, the two graphs switch at the origin, and f x gx on the interval 0, 2. So, you need two integrals—one for the interval 2, 0 and one for the interval 0, 2. A

Area of a Region Between Two Curves

Integration as an Accumulation Process In this section, the integration formula for the area between two curves was developed by using a rectangle as the representative element. For each new application in the remaining sections of this chapter, an appropriate representative element will be constructed using precalculus formulas you already know. Each integration formula will then be obtained by summing or accumulating these representative elements. Known precalculus formula

Volume: The Disk Method ■ Find the volume of a solid of revolution using the disk method. ■ Find the volume of a solid of revolution using the washer method. ■ Find the volume of a solid with known cross sections.

The Disk Method You have already learned that area is only one of the many applications of the definite integral. Another important application is its use in finding the volume of a threedimensional solid. In this section you will study a particular type of three-dimensional solid—one whose cross sections are similar. Solids of revolution are used commonly in engineering and manufacturing. Some examples are axles, funnels, pills, bottles, and pistons, as shown in Figure 7.12.

Apago PDF Enhancer Solids of revolution Figure 7.12 w

If a region in the plane is revolved about a line, the resulting solid is a solid of revolution, and the line is called the axis of revolution. The simplest such solid is a right circular cylinder or disk, which is formed by revolving a rectangle about an axis adjacent to one side of the rectangle, as shown in Figure 7.13. The volume of such a disk is

where R is the radius of the disk and w is the width. To see how to use the volume of a disk to find the volume of a general solid of revolution, consider a solid of revolution formed by revolving the plane region in Figure 7.14 about the indicated axis. To determine the volume of this solid, consider a representative rectangle in the plane region. When this rectangle is revolved about the axis of revolution, it generates a representative disk whose volume is V   R2 x.

The Washer Method The disk method can be extended to cover solids of revolution with holes by replacing the representative disk with a representative washer. The washer is formed by revolving a rectangle about an axis, as shown in Figure 7.18. If r and R are the inner and outer radii of the washer and w is the width of the washer, the volume is given by

A manufacturer drills a hole through the center of a metal sphere of radius 5 inches, as shown in Figure 7.23(a). The hole has a radius of 3 inches. What is the volume of the resulting metal ring? Solution You can imagine the ring to be generated by a segment of the circle whose equation is x 2  y 2  25, as shown in Figure 7.23(b). Because the radius of the hole is 3 inches, you can let y  3 and solve the equation x 2  y 2  25 to determine that the limits of integration are x  ± 4. So, the inner and outer radii are rx  3 and Rx  25  x 2 and the volume is given by

With the disk method, you can find the volume of a solid having a circular cross section whose area is A   R 2. This method can be generalized to solids of any shape, as long as you know a formula for the area of an arbitrary cross section.

In this section, you will study an alternative method for finding the volume of a solid of revolution. This method is called the shell method because it uses cylindrical shells. A comparison of the advantages of the disk and shell methods is given later in this section. To begin, consider a representative rectangle as shown in Figure 7.27, where w is the width of the rectangle, h is the height of the rectangle, and p is the distance between the axis of revolution and the center of the rectangle. When this rectangle is revolved about its axis of revolution, it forms a cylindrical shell (or tube) of thickness w. To find the volume of this shell, consider two cylinders. The radius of the larger cylinder corresponds to the outer radius of the shell, and the radius of the smaller cylinder corresponds to the inner radius of the shell. Because p is the average radius of the shell, you know the outer radius is p  w 2 and the inner radius is p  w 2. p

Assume that the plane region in Figure 7.28 is revolved about a line to form the indicated solid.

Comparison of Disk and Shell Methods The disk and shell methods can be distinguished as follows.

Suppose the region in Example 3 were revolved about the vertical line x  1. Would the resulting solid of revolution have a greater volume or a smaller volume than the solid in Example 3? Without integrating, you should be able to reason that the resulting solid would have a smaller volume because “more” of the revolved region would be closer to the axis of revolution. To confirm this, try solving the following integral, which gives the volume of the solid.

Sometimes, solving for x is very difficult (or even impossible). In such cases you must use a vertical rectangle (of width x), thus making x the variable of integration. The position (horizontal or vertical) of the axis of revolution then determines the method to be used. This is shown in Example 5.

EXAMPLE 5 Shell Method Necessary Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of y  x3  x  1, y  1, and x  1 about the line x  2, as shown in Figure 7.36. y

3

Solution In the equation y  x3  x  1, you cannot easily solve for x in terms of y. (See Section 3.8 on Newton’s Method.) Therefore, the variable of integration must be x, and you should choose a vertical representative rectangle. Because the rectangle is parallel to the axis of revolution, use the shell method and obtain

Arc Length and Surfaces of Revolution ■ Find the arc length of a smooth curve. ■ Find the area of a surface of revolution.

Arc Length In this section, definite integrals are used to find the arc lengths of curves and the areas of surfaces of revolution. In either case, an arc (a segment of a curve) is approximated by straight line segments whose lengths are given by the familiar Distance Formula d  x2  x1 2   y2  y1 2.

Bettmann/Corbis

A rectifiable curve is one that has a finite arc length. You will see that a sufficient condition for the graph of a function f to be rectifiable between a, f a and b, f b is that f be continuous on a, b. Such a function is continuously differentiable on a, b, and its graph on the interval a, b is a smooth curve. Consider a function y  f x that is continuously differentiable on the interval a, b. You can approximate the graph of f by n line segments whose endpoints are determined by the partition a  x < x < x < . . . < xn  b 0

CHRISTIAN HUYGENS (1629–1695) The Dutch mathematician Christian Huygens, who invented the pendulum clock, and James Gregory (1638–1675), a Scottish mathematician, both made early contributions to the problem of finding the length of a rectifiable curve.

TECHNOLOGY Definite integrals representing arc length often are very difficult to evaluate. In this section, a few examples are presented. In the next chapter, with more advanced integration techniques, you will be able to tackle more difficult arc length problems. In the meantime, remember that you can always use a numerical integration program to approximate an arc length. For instance, use the numerical integration feature of a graphing utility to approximate the arc lengths in Examples 2 and 3.

Area of a Surface of Revolution In Sections 7.2 and 7.3, integration was used to calculate the volume of a solid of revolution. You will now look at a procedure for finding the area of a surface of revolution. DEFINITION OF SURFACE OF REVOLUTION If the graph of a continuous function is revolved about a line, the resulting surface is a surface of revolution.

L r2 r1

Axis of revolution

Figure 7.43

The area of a surface of revolution is derived from the formula for the lateral surface area of the frustum of a right circular cone. Consider the line segment in Figure 7.43, where L is the length of the line segment, r1 is the radius at the left end of the line segment, and r2 is the radius at the right end of the line segment. When the line segment is revolved about its axis of revolution, it forms a frustum of a right circular cone, with S  2 r L

Lateral surface area of frustum

where 1 r  r1  r2. 2

Average radius of frustum

(In Exercise 62, you are asked to verify the formula for S.) Suppose the graph of a function f, having a continuous derivative on the interval a, b, is revolved about the x-axis to form a surface of revolution, as shown in Figure 7.44. Let  be a partition of a, b, with subintervals of width xi . Then the line segment of length

generates a frustum of a cone. Let ri be the average radius of this frustum. By the Intermediate Value Theorem, a point di exists (in the ith subinterval) such that ri  f di . The lateral surface area Si of the frustum is Si  2 ri Li  2 f di xi2  yi2 y 1  x x .

In these two formulas for S, you can regard the products 2 f x and 2 x as the circumferences of the circles traced by a point x, y on the graph of f as it is revolved about the x-axis and the y-axis (Figure 7.45). In one case the radius is r  f x, and in the other case the radius is r  x. Moreover, by appropriately adjusting r, you can generalize the formula for surface area to cover any horizontal or vertical axis of revolution, as indicated in the following definition.

Work ■ Find the work done by a constant force. ■ Find the work done by a variable force.

Work Done by a Constant Force The concept of work is important to scientists and engineers for determining the energy needed to perform various jobs. For instance, it is useful to know the amount of work done when a crane lifts a steel girder, when a spring is compressed, when a rocket is propelled into the air, or when a truck pulls a load along a highway. In general, work is done by a force when it moves an object. If the force applied to the object is constant, then the definition of work is as follows. DEFINITION OF WORK DONE BY A CONSTANT FORCE If an object is moved a distance D in the direction of an applied constant force F, then the work W done by the force is defined as W  FD.

There are many types of forces—centrifugal, electromotive, and gravitational, to name a few. A force can be thought of as a push or a pull; a force changes the state of rest or state of motion of a body. For gravitational forces on Earth, it is common to use units of measure corresponding to the weight of an object.

EXAMPLE 11 Lifting an Object Apago PDF Enhancer Determine the work done in lifting a 50-pound object 4 feet.

Solution The magnitude of the required force F is the weight of the object, as shown in Figure 7.48. So, the work done in lifting the object 4 feet is

■

In the U.S. measurement system, work is typically expressed in foot-pounds (ft-lb), inch-pounds, or foot-tons. In the centimeter-gram-second (C-G-S) system, the basic unit of force is the dyne—the force required to produce an acceleration of 1 centimeter per second per second on a mass of 1 gram. In this system, work is typically expressed in dyne-centimeters (ergs) or newton-meters (joules), where 1 joule  107 ergs. EXPLORATION How Much Work? In Example 1, 200 foot-pounds of work was needed to lift the 50-pound object 4 feet vertically off the ground. Suppose that once you lifted the object, you held it and walked a horizontal distance of 4 feet. Would this require an additional 200 foot-pounds of work? Explain your reasoning.

Chapter 7

Applications of Integration

Work Done by a Variable Force In Example 1, the force involved was constant. If a variable force is applied to an object, calculus is needed to determine the work done, because the amount of force changes as the object changes position. For instance, the force required to compress a spring increases as the spring is compressed. Suppose that an object is moved along a straight line from x  a to x  b by a continuously varying force Fx. Let  be a partition that divides the interval a, b into n subintervals determined by a  x0 < x1 < x 2 < . . . < xn  b

and let xi  xi  xi1. For each i, choose ci such that xi1 ci xi . Then at ci the force is given by Fci . Because F is continuous, you can approximate the work done in moving the object through the ith subinterval by the increment Δx

EMILIE DE BRETEUIL (1706–1749) Another major work by Breteuil was the translation of Newton’s “Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica” into French. Her translation and commentary greatly contributed to the acceptance of Newtonian science in Europe.

The remaining examples in this section use some well-known physical laws. The discoveries of many of these laws occurred during the same period in which calculus was being developed. In fact, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, there was little difference between physicists and mathematicians. One such physicistmathematician was Emilie de Breteuil. Breteuil was instrumental in synthesizing the work of many other scientists, including Newton, Leibniz, Huygens, Kepler, and Descartes. Her physics text Institutions was widely used for many years.

The following three laws of physics were developed by Robert Hooke (1635–1703), Isaac Newton (1642–1727), and Charles Coulomb (1736 –1806). 1. Hooke’s Law: The force F required to compress or stretch a spring (within its elastic limits) is proportional to the distance d that the spring is compressed or stretched from its original length. That is, F  kd where the constant of proportionality k (the spring constant) depends on the specific nature of the spring. 2. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation: The force F of attraction between two particles of masses m 1 and m 2 is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d between the two particles. That is, Fk

m 1m 2 . d2

If m 1and m 2 are given in grams and d in centimeters, F will be in dynes for a value of k  6.670  108 cubic centimeter per gram-second squared. 3. Coulomb’s Law: The force F between two charges q1 and q2 in a vacuum is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d between the two charges. That is,

EXPLORATION The work done in compressing the spring in Example 2 from x  3 inches to x  6 inches is 3375 inch-pounds. Should the work done in compressing the spring from x  0 inches to x  3 inches be more than, the same as, or less than this? Explain.

EXAMPLE 2 Compressing a Spring A force of 750 pounds compresses a spring 3 inches from its natural length of 15 inches. Find the work done in compressing the spring an additional 3 inches. Solution By Hooke’s Law, the force Fx required to compress the spring x units (from its natural length) is Fx  kx. Using the given data, it follows that F3  750  k3 and so k  250 and Fx  250x, as shown in Figure 7.50. To find the increment of work, assume that the force required to compress the spring over a small increment x is nearly constant. So, the increment of work is W  forcedistance increment  250x x.

How much work is required to fill the basin with seawater? (Use a seawater density of 64 pounds per cubic foot.) Andrew J. Martinez/Photo Researchers, Inc.

Tidal power plants use “tidal energy” to produce electrical energy. To construct a tidal power plant, a dam is built to separate a basin from the sea. Electrical energy is produced as the water flows back and forth between the basin and the sea. The amount of “natural energy” produced depends on the volume of the basin and the tidal range—the vertical distance between high and low tides. (Several natural basins have tidal ranges in excess of 15 feet; the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia has a tidal range of 53 feet.)

The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia has an extreme tidal range, as displayed in the greatly contrasting photos above. ■ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION For more information on tidal

Understand the definition of mass. Find the center of mass in a one-dimensional system. Find the center of mass in a two-dimensional system. Find the center of mass of a planar lamina. Use the Theorem of Pappus to find the volume of a solid of revolution.

Mass In this section you will study several important applications of integration that are related to mass. Mass is a measure of a body’s resistance to changes in motion, and is independent of the particular gravitational system in which the body is located. However, because so many applications involving mass occur on Earth’s surface, an object’s mass is sometimes equated with its weight. This is not technically correct. Weight is a type of force and as such is dependent on gravity. Force and mass are related by the equation Force  massacceleration. The table below lists some commonly used measures of mass and force, together with their conversion factors. System of Measurement

Moments, Centers of Mass, and Centroids

499

Center of Mass in a One-Dimensional System You will now consider two types of moments of a mass—the moment about a point and the moment about a line. To define these two moments, consider an idealized situation in which a mass m is concentrated at a point. If x is the distance between this point mass and another point P, the moment of m about the point P is Moment  mx

20 kg

and x is the length of the moment arm. The concept of moment can be demonstrated simply by a seesaw, as shown in Figure 7.55. A child of mass 20 kilograms sits 2 meters to the left of fulcrum P, and an older child of mass 30 kilograms sits 2 meters to the right of P. From experience, you know that the seesaw will begin to rotate clockwise, moving the larger child down. This rotation occurs because the moment produced by the child on the left is less than the moment produced by the child on the right.

30 kg

P

2m

Left moment  202  40 kilogram-meters Right moment  302  60 kilogram-meters

2m

The seesaw will balance when the left and the right moments are equal. Figure 7.55

To balance the seesaw, the two moments must be equal. For example, if the larger child moved to a position 43 meters from the fulcrum, the seesaw would balance, because each child would produce a moment of 40 kilogram-meters. To generalize this, you can introduce a coordinate line on which the origin corresponds to the fulcrum, as shown in Figure 7.56. Suppose several point masses are located on the x-axis. The measure of the tendency of this system to rotate about the origin is the moment about the origin, and it is defined as the sum of the n products mi xi.

Center of Mass of a Planar Lamina (x, y)

(x, y)

So far in this section you have assumed the total mass of a system to be distributed at discrete points in a plane or on a line. Now consider a thin, flat plate of material of constant density called a planar lamina (see Figure 7.60). Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume, such as grams per cubic centimeter. For planar laminas, however, density is considered to be a measure of mass per unit of area. Density is denoted by , the lowercase Greek letter rho. Consider an irregularly shaped planar lamina of uniform density , bounded by the graphs of y  f x, y  gx, and a x b, as shown in Figure 7.61. The mass of this region is given by m  densityarea

You can think of the center of mass x, y of a lamina as its balancing point. For a circular lamina, the center of mass is the center of the circle. For a rectangular lamina, the center of mass is the center of the rectangle. Figure 7.60

Because the density of the rectangle is , its mass is mi  densityarea    f xi   gxi  x .

So, the center of mass (the balancing point) of the lamina is 0, 85 , as shown in ■ Figure 7.63. The density  in Example 4 is a common factor of both the moments and the mass, and as such divides out of the quotients representing the coordinates of the center of mass. So, the center of mass of a lamina of uniform density depends only on the shape of the lamina and not on its density. For this reason, the point

x, y

Center of mass or centroid

is sometimes called the center of mass of a region in the plane, or the centroid of the region. In other words, to find the centroid of a region in the plane, you simply assume that the region has a constant density of   1 and compute the corresponding center of mass.

Theorem of Pappus L

The final topic in this section is a useful theorem credited to Pappus of Alexandria (ca. 300 A.D.), a Greek mathematician whose eight-volume Mathematical Collection is a record of much of classical Greek mathematics. You are asked to prove this theorem in Section 14.4.

Centroid of R

THEOREM 7.1 THE THEOREM OF PAPPUS r

Let R be a region in a plane and let L be a line in the same plane such that L does not intersect the interior of R, as shown in Figure 7.66. If r is the distance between the centroid of R and the line, then the volume V of the solid of revolution formed by revolving R about the line is

R

V  2 rA where A is the area of R. (Note that 2 r is the distance traveled by the centroid as the region is revolved about the line.)

The volume V is 2 rA, where A is the area of region R. Figure 7.66

The Theorem of Pappus can be used to find the volume of a torus, as shown in the following example. Recall that a torus is a doughnut-shaped solid formed by revolving a circular region about a line that lies in the same plane as the circle (but does not intersect the circle).

Fluid Pressure and Fluid Force

Fluid Pressure and Fluid Force ■ Find fluid pressure and fluid force.

Fluid Pressure and Fluid Force Swimmers know that the deeper an object is submerged in a fluid, the greater the pressure on the object. Pressure is defined as the force per unit of area over the surface of a body. For example, because a column of water that is 10 feet in height and 1 inch square weighs 4.3 pounds, the fluid pressure at a depth of 10 feet of water is 4.3 pounds per square inch.* At 20 feet, this would increase to 8.6 pounds per square inch, and in general the pressure is proportional to the depth of the object in the fluid. DEFINITION OF FLUID PRESSURE The pressure on an object at depth h in a liquid is Pressure  P  wh

The Granger Collection

where w is the weight-density of the liquid per unit of volume. Below are some common weight-densities of fluids in pounds per cubic foot.

BLAISE PASCAL (1623–1662) Pascal is well known for his work in many areas of mathematics and physics, and also for his influence on Leibniz. Although much of Pascal’s work in calculus was intuitive and lacked the rigor of modern mathematics, he nevertheless anticipated many important results.

When calculating fluid pressure, you can use an important (and rather surprising) physical law called Pascal’s Principle, named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal. Pascal’s Principle states that the pressure exerted by a fluid at a depth h is transmitted equally in all directions. For example, in Figure 7.68, the pressure at the indicated depth is the same for all three objects. Because fluid pressure is given in terms of force per unit area P  F A, the fluid force on a submerged horizontal surface of area A is Fluid force  F  PA  (pressure)(area).

h

The pressure at h is the same for all three objects. Figure 7.68 * The total pressure on an object in 10 feet of water would also include the pressure due to Earth’s atmosphere. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch.

EXAMPLE 11 Fluid Force on a Submerged Sheet Find the fluid force on a rectangular metal sheet measuring 3 feet by 4 feet that is submerged in 6 feet of water, as shown in Figure 7.69.

This result is independent of the size of the body of water. The fluid force would be the same in a swimming pool or lake. ■ In Example 1, the fact that the sheet is rectangular and horizontal means that you do not need the methods of calculus to solve the problem. Consider a surface that is submerged vertically in a fluid. This problem is more difficult because the pressure is not constant over the surface. Suppose a vertical plate is submerged in a fluid of weight-density w (per unit of volume), as shown in Figure 7.70. To determine the total force against one side of the region from depth c to depth d, you can subdivide the interval c, d into n subintervals, each of width y. Next, consider the representative rectangle of width y and length L yi, where yi is in the ith subinterval. The force against this representative rectangle is

EXAMPLE 2 Fluid Force on a Vertical Surface A vertical gate in a dam has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid 8 feet across the top and 6 feet across the bottom, with a height of 5 feet, as shown in Figure 7.71(a). What is the fluid force on the gate when the top of the gate is 4 feet below the surface of the water?

4 ft 8 ft

Solution In setting up a mathematical model for this problem, you are at liberty to locate the x- and y-axes in several different ways. A convenient approach is to let the y-axis bisect the gate and place the x-axis at the surface of the water, as shown in Figure 7.71(b). So, the depth of the water at y in feet is

5 ft

Depth  h  y  y.

6 ft

To find the length L  y of the region at y, find the equation of the line forming the right side of the gate. Because this line passes through the points 3, 9 and 4, 4, its equation is

NOTE In Example 2, the x-axis coincided with the surface of the water. This was convenient, but arbitrary. In choosing a coordinate system to represent a physical situation, you should consider various possibilities. Often you can simplify the calculations in a problem by locating the coordinate system to take advantage of special characteristics of the problem, such as symmetry. ■

In this chapter, you will study other integration techniques, such as integration by parts, that are used to evaluate more complicated integrals. You will also learn an important rule for evaluating limits called L’Hôpital’s Rule. This rule can also help you evaluate improper integrals. In this chapter, you should learn the following. ■

Partial fraction decomposition is an integration technique that can be used to evaluate integrals involving rational functions.

From your studies of calculus thus far, you know that a definite integral has finite limits of integration and a continuous integrand. In Section 8.8, you will study improper integrals. Improper integrals have at least one infinite limit of integration or have an integrand with an infinite discontinuity. You will see that improper integrals either converge or diverge.

Fitting Integrands to Basic Integration Rules In this chapter, you will study several integration techniques that greatly expand the set of integrals to which the basic integration rules can be applied. These rules are reviewed on page 522. A major step in solving any integration problem is recognizing which basic integration rule to use. As shown in Example 1, slight differences in the integrand can lead to very different solution techniques.

Integration by Parts ■ Find an antiderivative using integration by parts. ■ Use a tabular method to perform integration by parts.

Integration by Parts In this section you will study an important integration technique called integration by parts. This technique can be applied to a wide variety of functions and is particularly useful for integrands involving products of algebraic and transcendental functions. For instance, integration by parts works well with integrals such as

EXPLORATION Proof Without Words Here is a different approach to proving the formula for integration by parts. Exercise taken from “Proof Without Words: Integration by Parts” by Roger B. Nelsen, Mathematics Magazine, 64, No. 2, April 1991, p. 130, by permission of the author.

THEOREM 8.1 INTEGRATION BY PARTS If u and v are functions of x and have continuous derivatives, then



u dv  uv 



v du.

This formula expresses the original integral in terms of another integral. Depending on the choices of u and dv, it may be easier to evaluate the second integral than the original one. Because the choices of u and dv are critical in the integration by parts process, the following guidelines are provided. GUIDELINES FOR INTEGRATION BY PARTS 1. Try letting dv be the most complicated portion of the integrand that fits a basic integration rule. Then u will be the remaining factor(s) of the integrand. 2. Try letting u be the portion of the integrand whose derivative is a function simpler than u. Then dv will be the remaining factor(s) of the integrand. Note that dv always includes the dx of the original integrand.

TECHNOLOGY Remember that there are two ways to use technology to evaluate a definite integral: (1) you can use a numerical approximation such as the Trapezoidal Rule or Simpson’s Rule, or (2) you can use a computer algebra system to find the antiderivative and then apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Both methods have shortcomings. To find the possible error when using a numerical method, the integrand must have a second derivative (Trapezoidal Rule) or a fourth derivative (Simpson’s Rule) in the interval of integration: the integrand in Example 3 fails to meet either of these requirements. To apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, the symbolic integration utility must be able to find the antiderivative.

Some integrals require repeated use of the integration by parts formula.

EXAMPLE 4 Repeated Use of Integration by Parts Find

Solution The factors x 2 and sin x are equally easy to integrate. However, the derivative of x 2 becomes simpler, whereas the derivative of sin x does not. So, you should let u  x 2. dv  sin x dx

2x cos x dx.

First use of integration by parts

This first use of integration by parts has succeeded in simplifying the original integral, but the integral on the right still doesn’t fit a basic integration rule. To evaluate that integral, you can apply integration by parts again. This time, let u  2x. dv  cos x dx u  2x

Second use of integration by parts

 2x sin x  2 cos x  C. Combining these two results, you can write



x 2 sin x dx  x 2 cos x  2x sin x  2 cos x  C.

■

When making repeated applications of integration by parts, you need to be careful not to interchange the substitutions in successive applications. For instance, in Example 4, the first substitution was u  x 2 and dv  sin x dx. If, in the second application, you had switched the substitution to u  cos x and dv  2x, you would have obtained



x 2 sin x dx  x 2 cos x 

EXPLORATION Try to find



ex cos 2x dx

by letting u  cos 2x and dv  ex dx in the first substitution. For the second substitution, let u  sin 2x and dv  e x dx.



2x cos x dx

 x 2 cos x  x 2 cos x 



x 2 sin x dx 



x 2 sin x dx

thereby undoing the previous integration and returning to the original integral. When making repeated applications of integration by parts, you should also watch for the appearance of a constant multiple of the original integral. For instance, this occurs when you use integration by parts to evaluate  e x cos 2x dx, and also occurs in Example 5 on the next page. The integral in Example 5 is an important one. In Section 8.4 (Example 5), you will see that it is used to find the arc length of a parabolic segment.

The following summary lists several common integrals with suggestions for the choices of u and dv. STUDY TIP You can use the acronym LIATE as a guideline for choosing u in integration by parts. In order, check the integrand for the following.

let u  xn and let dv  e ax dx, sin ax dx, or cos ax dx. 2. For integrals of the form



Is there an Exponential part?

x n ln x dx,

Integrals Involving Powers of Sine and Cosine SHEILA SCOTT MACINTYRE (1910–1960) Sheila Scott Macintyre published her first paper on the asymptotic periods of integral functions in 1935. She completed her doctorate work at Aberdeen University, where she taught. In 1958 she accepted a visiting research fellowship at the University of Cincinnati.

In this section you will study techniques for evaluating integrals of the form



sinm x cosn x dx



secm x tann x dx

and

where either m or n is a positive integer. To find antiderivatives for these forms, try to break them into combinations of trigonometric integrals to which you can apply the Power Rule. For instance, you can evaluate sin5 x cos x dx with the Power Rule by letting u  sin x. Then, du  cos x dx and you have

Let T be the tension (in pounds) on a span of wire, let u be the density (in pounds per foot), let g  32.2 be the acceleration due to gravity (in feet per second per second), and let L be the distance (in feet) between the supports. Then the equation of the catenary is T ugx y cosh  1 , where x and y are measured in feet. ug T





(a) Find the length of the wire between two spans. (b) To measure the tension in a span, power line workers use the return wave method. The wire is struck at one support, creating a wave in the line, and the time t (in seconds) it takes for the wave to make a round trip is measured. The velocity v (in feet per second) is given by v  T u. How long does it take the wave to make a round trip between supports? (c) The sag s (in inches) can be obtained by evaluating y when x  L 2 in the equation for the catenary (and multiplying by 12). In practice, however, power line workers use the “lineman’s equation” given by s  12.075t 2.

Trigonometric Substitution ■ Use trigonometric substitution to solve an integral. ■ Use integrals to model and solve real-life applications.

Trigonometric Substitution EXPLORATION Integrating a Radical Function Up to this point in the text, you have not evaluated the following integral.



Now that you can evaluate integrals involving powers of trigonometric functions, you can use trigonometric substitution to evaluate integrals involving the radicals a2  u2,

The objective with trigonometric substitution is to eliminate the radical in the integrand. You do this by using the Pythagorean identities

From geometry, you should be able to find the exact value of this integral—what is it? Using numerical integration, with Simpson’s Rule or the Trapezoidal Rule, you can’t be sure of the accuracy of the approximation. Why? Try finding the exact value using the substitution x  sin  and dx  cos d. Does your answer agree with the value you obtained using geometry?

EXAMPLE 6 Comparing Two Fluid Forces A sealed barrel of oil (weighing 48 pounds per cubic foot) is floating in seawater (weighing 64 pounds per cubic foot), as shown in Figures 8.11 and 8.12. (The barrel is not completely full of oil. With the barrel lying on its side, the top 0.2 foot of the barrel is empty.) Compare the fluid forces against one end of the barrel from the inside and from the outside.

Solution In Figure 8.12, locate the coordinate system with the origin at the center of the circle given by x2  y2  1. To find the fluid force against an end of the barrel from the inside, integrate between 1 and 0.8 (using a weight of w  48).

JOHN BERNOULLI (1667–1748) The method of partial fractions was introduced by John Bernoulli, a Swiss mathematician who was instrumental in the early development of calculus.

Recall from algebra that every polynomial with real coefficients can be factored into linear and irreducible quadratic factors.* For instance, the polynomial x5  x 4  x  1 can be written as x 5  x 4  x  1  x 4x  1  x  1  x 4  1x  1  x 2  1x 2  1x  1  x 2  1x  1x  1x  1  x  1x  1 2x 2  1 where x  1 is a linear factor, x  1 2 is a repeated linear factor, and x2  1 is an irreducible quadratic factor. Using this factorization, you can write the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression Nx x5  x4  x  1 where Nx is a polynomial of degree less than 5, as follows. Nx A Dx  E B C    2 2 2  x  1x  1 x  1 x  1 x  1 x  1 x2  1 DECOMPOSITION OF Nx/Dx INTO PARTIAL FRACTIONS 1. Divide if improper: If Nx Dx is an improper fraction (that is, if the degree of the numerator is greater than or equal to the degree of the denominator), divide the denominator into the numerator to obtain

where the degree of N1x is less than the degree of Dx. Then apply Steps 2, 3, and 4 to the proper rational expression N1x Dx. 2. Factor denominator: Completely factor the denominator into factors of the form

Linear Factors Algebraic techniques for determining the constants in the numerators of a partial fraction decomposition with linear or repeated linear factors are shown in Examples 1 and 2.

EXAMPLE 1 Distinct Linear Factors Write the partial fraction decomposition for

1 . x  5x  6 2

Solution Because x 2  5x  6  x  3x  2, you should include one partial fraction for each factor and write 1 A B   x 2  5x  6 x  3 x  2 where A and B are to be determined. Multiplying this equation by the least common denominator x  3x  2) yields the basic equation 1  Ax  2  Bx  3.

Basic equation

Because this equation is to be true for all x, you can substitute any convenient values for x to obtain equations in A and B. The most convenient values are the ones that make particular factors equal to 0. NOTE Note that the substitutions for x in Example 1 are chosen for their convenience in determining values for A and B; x  2 is chosen to eliminate the term Ax  2, and x  3 is chosen to eliminate the term Bx  3. The goal is to make convenient substitutions whenever possible.

To solve for A, let x  3 and obtain 1  A3  2  B3  3 1  A1  B0 A  1.

Let x  3 in basic equation.

Apago PDF Enhancer To solve for B, let x  2 and obtain 1  A2  2  B2  3 1  A0  B1 B  1.

Be sure you see that the method of partial fractions is practical only for integrals of rational functions whose denominators factor “nicely.” For instance, if the denominator in Example 1 were changed to x 2  5x  5, its factorization as

In Examples 1, 2, and 3, the solution of the basic equation began with substituting values of x that made the linear factors equal to 0. This method works well when the partial fraction decomposition involves linear factors. However, if the decomposition involves only quadratic factors, an alternative procedure is often more convenient.

EXAMPLE 4 Repeated Quadratic Factors Find

When integrating rational expressions, keep in mind that for improper rational expressions such as Nx 2x 3  x 2  7x  7  Dx x2  x  2 you must first divide to obtain Nx 2x  5  2x  1  2 . Dx x x2 The proper rational expression is then decomposed into its partial fractions by the usual methods. Here are some guidelines for solving the basic equation that is obtained in a partial fraction decomposition. GUIDELINES FOR SOLVING THE BASIC EQUATION Linear Factors

1. Substitute the roots of the distinct linear factors in the basic equation. 2. For repeated linear factors, use the coefficients determined in guideline 1 to rewrite the basic equation. Then substitute other convenient values of x and solve for the remaining coefficients. Quadratic Factors

1. Expand the basic equation. 2. Collect terms according to powers of x. 3. Equate the coefficients of like powers to obtain a system of linear equations involving A, B, C, and so on. 4. Solve the system of linear equations.

Before concluding this section, here are a few things you should remember. First, it is not necessary to use the partial fractions technique on all rational functions. For instance, the following integral is evaluated more easily by the Log Rule.

3x 2  3 dx x  3x  4 3

1 ln x 3  3x  4  C 3





Second, if the integrand is not in reduced form, reducing it may eliminate the need for partial fractions, as shown in the following integral.

Chemical Reactions In a chemical reaction, one unit of compound Y and one unit of compound Z are converted into a single unit of compound X. x is the amount of compound X formed, and the rate of formation of X is proportional to the product of the amounts of unconverted compounds Y and Z.

Integration by Tables and Other Integration Techniques ■ Evaluate an indefinite integral using a table of integrals. ■ Evaluate an indefinite integral using reduction formulas. ■ Evaluate an indefinite integral involving rational functions of sine and cosine.

Integration by Tables So far in this chapter you have studied several integration techniques that can be used with the basic integration rules. But merely knowing how to use the various techniques is not enough. You also need to know when to use them. Integration is first and foremost a problem of recognition. That is, you must recognize which rule or technique to apply to obtain an antiderivative. Frequently, a slight alteration of an integrand will require a different integration technique (or produce a function whose antiderivative is not an elementary function), as shown below.

TECHNOLOGY A computer algebra system consists, in part, of a database of integration formulas. The primary difference between using a computer algebra system and using tables of integrals is that with a computer algebra system the computer searches through the database to find a fit. With integration tables, you must do the searching.

Many people find tables of integrals to be a valuable supplement to the integration techniques discussed in this chapter. Tables of common integrals can be found in Appendix B. Integration by tables is not a “cure-all” for all of the difficulties that can accompany integration—using tables of integrals requires considerable thought and insight and often involves substitution. Each integration formula in Appendix B can be developed using one or more of the techniques in this chapter. You should try to verify several of the formulas. For instance, Formula 4

Indeterminate Forms and L’Hôpital’s Rule

Indeterminate Forms and L’Hôpital’s Rule ■ Recognize limits that produce indeterminate forms. ■ Apply L’Hôpital’s Rule to evaluate a limit.

Indeterminate Forms Recall that the forms 0 0 and   are called indeterminate because they do not guarantee that a limit exists, nor do they indicate what the limit is, if one does exist. When you encountered one of these indeterminate forms earlier in the text, you attempted to rewrite the expression by using various algebraic techniques. Indeterminate Form

Divide numerator and denominator by x 2.

Occasionally, you can extend these algebraic techniques to find limits of transcendental functions. For instance, the limit e2x  1 x→0 e x  1 lim

However, not all indeterminate forms can be evaluated by algebraic manipulation. This is often true when both algebraic and transcendental functions are involved. For instance, the limit e2x  1 x→0 x lim

Integration Techniques, L’Hôpital’s Rule, and Improper Integrals

L’Hôpital’s Rule To find the limit illustrated in Figure 8.14, you can use a theorem called L’Hôpital’s Rule. This theorem states that under certain conditions the limit of the quotient f x gx is determined by the limit of the quotient of the derivatives

The Granger Collection

fx . gx

GUILLAUME L’HÔPITAL (1661–1704) L’Hôpital’s Rule is named after the French mathematician Guillaume François Antoine de L’Hôpital. L’Hôpital is credited with writing the first text on differential calculus (in 1696) in which the rule publicly appeared. It was recently discovered that the rule and its proof were written in a letter from John Bernoulli to L’Hôpital. “… I acknowledge that I owe very much to the bright minds of the Bernoulli brothers. … I have made free use of their discoveries …,” said L’Hôpital.

To prove this theorem, you can use a more general result called the Extended Mean Value Theorem. THEOREM 8.3 THE EXTENDED MEAN VALUE THEOREM If f and g are differentiable on an open interval a, b and continuous on a, b such that gx  0 for any x in a, b, then there exists a point c in a, b such that fc f b  f a  . gc gb  ga

NOTE To see why this is called the Extended Mean Value Theorem, consider the special case in which gx  x. For this case, you obtain the “standard” Mean Value Theorem as presented in Section 4.2. ■

The Extended Mean Value Theorem and L’Hôpital’s Rule are both proved in Appendix A.

Apago PDF Enhancer THEOREM 8.4 L’HÔPITAL’S RULE Let f and g be functions that are differentiable on an open interval a, b containing c, except possibly at c itself. Assume that gx  0 for all x in a, b, except possibly at c itself. If the limit of f x gx as x approaches c produces the indeterminate form 0 0, then lim

x→c

f x fx  lim gx x→c gx

provided the limit on the right exists (or is infinite). This result also applies if the limit of f x gx as x approaches c produces any one of the indeterminate forms  ,   ,   , or    . NOTE People occasionally use L’Hôpital’s Rule incorrectly by applying the Quotient Rule to f x gx. Be sure you see that the rule involves fx gx, not the derivative of f x gx.

■

■ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

To enhance your understanding of the necessity of the restriction that gx be nonzero for all x in a, b, except possibly at c, see the article “Counterexamples to L’Hôpital’s Rule” by R. P. Boas in The American Mathematical Monthly. To view this article, go to the website www.matharticles.com.

L’Hôpital’s Rule can also be applied to one-sided limits. For instance, if the limit of f x gx as x approaches c from the right produces the indeterminate form 0 0, then lim

x→c

f x fx  lim gx x→c gx

provided the limit exists (or is infinite).

NOTE In writing the string of equations in Example 1, you actually do not know that the first limit is equal to the second until you have shown that the second limit exists. In other words, if the second limit had not existed, it would not have been permissible to apply L’Hôpital’s Rule.

Because each limit is different, it is clear that the form 0   is indeterminate in the sense that it does not determine the value (or even the existence) of the limit. The following examples indicate methods for evaluating these forms. Basically, you attempt to convert each of these forms to 0 0 or   so that L’Hôpital’s Rule can be applied.

EXAMPLE 4 Indeterminate Form 0   Evaluate lim exx. x→ 

Solution Because direct substitution produces the indeterminate form 0  , you should try to rewrite the limit to fit the form 0 0 or  . In this case, you can rewrite the limit to fit the second form. lim exx  lim

Indeterminate Forms and L’Hôpital’s Rule

If rewriting a limit in one of the forms 0 0 or   does not seem to work, try the other form. For instance, in Example 4 you can write the limit as ex x→  x1 2

lim exx  lim

x→ 

which yields the indeterminate form 0 0. As it happens, applying L’Hôpital’s Rule to this limit produces ex ex  lim 1 2 x→  x x→  1 2x3 2 lim

which also yields the indeterminate form 0 0. The indeterminate forms 1, 0, and 00 arise from limits of functions that have variable bases and variable exponents. When you previously encountered this type of function, you used logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative. You can use a similar procedure when taking limits, as shown in the next example.

EXAMPLE 5 Indeterminate Form 1



Evaluate lim 1  x→

Solution Because direct substitution yields the indeterminate form 1, you can proceed as follows. To begin, assume that the limit exists and is equal to y.

TECHNOLOGY When evaluating complicated limits such as the one in Example 6, it is helpful to check the reasonableness of the solution with a computer or with a graphing utility. For instance, the calculations in the following table and the graph in Figure 8.16 are consistent with the conclusion that sin xx approaches 1 as x approaches 0 from the right.

EXAMPLE 7 Indeterminate Form    Evaluate lim x→1

ln1x  x 1 1 .

Solution Because direct substitution yields the indeterminate form   , you should try to rewrite the expression to produce a form to which you can apply L’Hôpital’s Rule. In this case, you can combine the two fractions to obtain lim

x→1

ln1x  x 1 1  lim  xx1 1 lnlnxx . x→1

Now, because direct substitution produces the indeterminate form 0 0, you can apply L’Hôpital’s Rule to obtain

The forms 0 0,  ,   , 0  , 00, 1, and 0 have been identified as indeterminate. There are similar forms that you should recognize as “determinate.”

Limit is positive infinity. Limit is negative infinity. Limit is zero. Limit is positive infinity.

(You are asked to verify two of these in Exercises 116 and 117.) As a final comment, remember that L’Hôpital’s Rule can be applied only to quotients leading to the indeterminate forms 0 0 and  . For instance, the following application of L’Hôpital’s Rule is incorrect. ex ex  lim  1 x→0 x x→0 1 lim

Incorrect use of L’Hôpital’s Rule

The reason this application is incorrect is that, even though the limit of the denominator is 0, the limit of the numerator is 1, which means that the hypotheses of L’Hôpital’s Rule have not been satisfied.

Improper Integrals ■ Evaluate an improper integral that has an infinite limit of integration. ■ Evaluate an improper integral that has an infinite discontinuity.

Improper Integrals with Infinite Limits of Integration The definition of a definite integral

requires that the interval a, b be finite. Furthermore, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, by which you have been evaluating definite integrals, requires that f be continuous on a, b. In this section you will study a procedure for evaluating integrals that do not satisfy these requirements—usually because either one or both of the limits of integration are infinite, or f has a finite number of infinite discontinuities in the interval a, b. Integrals that possess either property are improper integrals. Note that a function f is said to have an infinite discontinuity at c if, from the right or left,

EXAMPLE 5 Sending a Space Module into Orbit In Example 3 in Section 7.5, you found that it would require 10,000 mile-tons of work to propel a 15-metric-ton space module to a height of 800 miles above Earth. How much work is required to propel the module an unlimited distance away from Earth’s surface? Solution At first you might think that an infinite amount of work would be required. But if this were the case, it would be impossible to send rockets into outer space. Because this has been done, the work required must be finite. You can determine the work in the following manner. Using the integral in Example 3, Section 7.5, replace the upper bound of 4800 miles by  and write W

The sphereflake shown above is a computer-generated fractal that was created by Eric Haines. The radius of the large sphere is 1. To the large sphere, nine spheres 1 1 ■ of radius 3 are attached. To each of these, nine spheres of radius 9 are attached. This process is continued infinitely. Does the sphereflake have a finite or an infinite surface area? (See Section 9.2, Exercise 114.)

Maclaurin polynomials approximate a given function in an interval around x  0. As you add terms to the Maclaurin polynomial, it becomes a better and better approximation of the given function near x  0. In Section 9.10, you will see that a Maclaurin series is equivalent to the given function (under suitable conditions).

Sequences In mathematics, the word “sequence” is used in much the same way as in ordinary English. To say that a collection of objects or events is in sequence usually means that the collection is ordered so that it has an identified first member, second member, third member, and so on. Mathematically, a sequence is defined as a function whose domain is the set of positive integers. Although a sequence is a function, it is common to represent sequences by subscript notation rather than by the standard function notation. For instance, in the sequence 1,

Limit of a Sequence The primary focus of this chapter concerns sequences whose terms approach limiting values. Such sequences are said to converge. For instance, the sequence 1 2n  1 1 1 1 1 , , , , ,. . . 2 4 8 16 32 converges to 0, as indicated in the following definition. DEFINITION OF THE LIMIT OF A SEQUENCE

y = an

Let L be a real number. The limit of a sequence a n is L, written as lim an  L

n→ 





if for each > 0, there exists M > 0 such that an  L < whenever n > M. If the limit L of a sequence exists, then the sequence converges to L. If the limit of a sequence does not exist, then the sequence diverges.

L +ε L L−ε n 1 2 3 4 5 6

M

For n > M, the terms of the sequence all lie within units of L. Figure 9.1

Graphically, this definition says that eventually (for n > M and > 0) the terms of a sequence that converges to L will lie within the band between the lines y  L  and y  L  , as shown in Figure 9.1. If a sequence an agrees with a function f at every positive integer, and if f x approaches a limit L as x → , the sequence must converge to the same limit L. THEOREM 9.1 LIMIT OF A SEQUENCE Apago PDF Enhancer Let L be a real number. Let f be a function of a real variable such that lim f x  L.

If an is a sequence such that f n  a n for every positive integer n, then lim an  L.

The converse of Theorem 9.1 is not true (see Exercise 138).

Without a specific rule for generating the terms of a sequence or some knowledge of the context in which the terms of the sequence are obtained, it is not possible to determine the convergence or divergence of the sequence merely from its first several terms. For instance, although the first three terms of the following four sequences are identical, the first two sequences converge to 0, the third sequence converges to 19, and the fourth sequence diverges.

The process of determining an nth term from the pattern observed in the first several terms of a sequence is an example of inductive reasoning.

EXAMPLE 7 Finding the n th Term of a Sequence Determine an nth term for a sequence whose first five terms are 2 8 26 80 242  , , , , ,. . . 1 2 6 24 120 and then decide whether the sequence converges or diverges.

Apago PDF Enhancer Solution Note that the numerators are 1 less than 3 . So, you can reason that the n

numerators are given by the rule 3n  1. Factoring the denominators produces 11 212 612 24  1  2 120  1  2

3 34 345.

. ..

This suggests that the denominators are represented by n!. Finally, because the signs alternate, you can write the nth term as an  1n

From the discussion about the growth of n!, it follows that

Monotonic Sequences and Bounded Sequences So far you have determined the convergence of a sequence by finding its limit. Even if you cannot determine the limit of a particular sequence, it still may be useful to know whether the sequence converges. Theorem 9.5 (on page 603) provides a test for convergence of sequences without determining the limit. First, some preliminary definitions are given. an

a. This sequence alternates between 2 and 4. So, it is not monotonic. b. This sequence is monotonic because each successive term is larger than its predecessor.

Starting with the final inequality, which is valid, you can reverse the steps to conclude that the original inequality is also valid. c. This sequence is not monotonic, because the second term is larger than the first term, and larger than the third. (Note that if you drop the first term, the remaining sequence c 2, c 3, c4, . . . is monotonic.) Figure 9.3 graphically illustrates these three sequences.

■

NOTE In Example 8(b), another way to see that the sequence is monotonic is to argue that the derivative of the corresponding differentiable function f x  2x 1  x is positive for all x. This implies that f is increasing, which in turn implies that an is increasing. ■

Sequences

DEFINITION OF BOUNDED SEQUENCE 1. A sequence an is bounded above if there is a real number M such that an M for all n. The number M is called an upper bound of the sequence. 2. A sequence an is bounded below if there is a real number N such that N an for all n. The number N is called a lower bound of the sequence. 3. A sequence an is bounded if it is bounded above and bounded below.

One important property of the real numbers is that they are complete. Informally, this means that there are no holes or gaps on the real number line. (The set of rational numbers does not have the completeness property.) The completeness axiom for real numbers can be used to conclude that if a sequence has an upper bound, it must have a least upper bound (an upper bound that is smaller than all other upper bounds for the sequence). For example, the least upper bound of the sequence an  n n  1, 1 2 3 4 n , , , ,. . ., ,. . . 2 3 4 5 n1 is 1. The completeness axiom is used in the proof of Theorem 9.5. THEOREM 9.5 BOUNDED MONOTONIC SEQUENCES If a sequence an is bounded and monotonic, then it converges.

Apago PDF Enhancer PROOF Assume that the sequence is nondecreasing, as shown in Figure 9.4. For the sake of simplicity, also assume that each term in the sequence is positive. Because the sequence is bounded, there must exist an upper bound M such that

Every bounded nondecreasing sequence converges. Figure 9.4

For > 0, it follows that L  < L, and therefore L  cannot be an upper bound for the sequence. Consequently, at least one term of an is greater than L  . That is, L  < aN for some positive integer N. Because the terms of an are nondecreasing, it follows that aN an for n > N. You now know that L  < aN an L < L  , for every n > N. It follows that an  L < for n > N, which by definition means that an converges to L. The proof for a nonincreasing sequence is similar (see Exercise 139). ■





EXAMPLE 9 Bounded and Monotonic Sequences a. The sequence an  1 n is both bounded and monotonic and so, by Theorem 9.5, must converge. b. The divergent sequence bn  n 2 n  1 is monotonic, but not bounded. (It is bounded below.) c. The divergent sequence cn  1 n  is bounded, but not monotonic. ■

Series and Convergence ■ Understand the definition of a convergent infinite series. ■ Use properties of infinite geometric series. ■ Use the n th-Term Test for Divergence of an infinite series.

Infinite Series INFINITE SERIES The study of infinite series was considered a novelty in the fourteenth century. Logician Richard Suiseth, whose nickname was Calculator, solved this problem. If throughout the first half of a given time interval a variation continues at a certain intensity, throughout the next quarter of the interval at double the intensity, throughout the following eighth at triple the intensity and so ad infinitum; then the average intensity for the whole interval will be the intensity of the variation during the second subinterval (or double the intensity). This is the same as saying that the sum of the infinite series

1 2 3 n   . . . n. . . 2 4 8 2 is 2.

One important application of infinite sequences is in representing “infinite summations.” Informally, if an is an infinite sequence, then

Infinite series

is an infinite series (or simply a series). The numbers a1, a 2, a 3, are the terms of the series. For some series it is convenient to begin the index at n  0 (or some other integer). As a typesetting convention, it is common to represent an infinite series as simply  an . In such cases, the starting value for the index must be taken from the context of the statement. To find the sum of an infinite series, consider the following sequence of partial sums. S1  a1 S2  a1  a2 S3  a1  a 2  a 3

The formula for the sum of a geometric series can be used to write a repeating decimal as the ratio of two integers, as demonstrated in the next example.

Infinite Series

STUDY TIP As you study this chapter, it is important to distinguish between an infinite series and a sequence. A sequence is an ordered collection of numbers

a1, a 2, a 3, . . . , an, . . . whereas a series is an infinite sum of terms from a sequence a1  a 2  . . .  an  . . . .

The following properties are direct consequences of the corresponding properties of limits of sequences.

n th-Term Test for Divergence The following theorem states that if a series converges, the limit of its nth term must be 0. NOTE Be sure you see that the converse of Theorem 9.8 is generally not true. That is, if the sequence an converges to 0, then the series  an may either converge or diverge.

The contrapositive of Theorem 9.8 provides a useful test for divergence. This nth-Term Test for Divergence states that if the limit of the nth term of a series does not converge to 0, the series must diverge. THEOREM 9.9 nTH-TERM TEST FOR DIVERGENCE If lim an  0, then n→

The Integral Test and p -Series ■ Use the Integral Test to determine whether an infinite series converges or diverges. ■ Use properties of p-series and harmonic series.

The Integral Test In this and the following section, you will study several convergence tests that apply to series with positive terms. THEOREM 9.10 THE INTEGRAL TEST If f is positive, continuous, and decreasing for x  1 and an  f n, then

Now, assuming that 1 f x dx converges to L, it follows that for n  1 Sn  f 1 L

Sn L  f 1.

Consequently, Sn is bounded and monotonic, and by Theorem 9.5 it converges. So,  an converges. For the other direction of the proof, assume that the improper integral n diverges. Then 1 f x dx approaches infinity as n → , and the inequality n Sn1  1 f x dx implies that Sn diverges. So,  an diverges. ■ NOTE Remember that the convergence or divergence of  an is not affected by deleting the first N terms. Similarly, if the conditions for the Integral Test are satisfied for all x  N > 1, you can simply use the integral N f x dx to test for convergence or divergence. (This is illustrated in Example 4.) ■

HARMONIC SERIES Pythagoras and his students paid close attention to the development of music as an abstract science. This led to the discovery of the relationship between the tone and the length of the vibrating string. It was observed that the most beautiful musical harmonies corresponded to the simplest ratios of whole numbers. Later mathematicians developed this idea into the harmonic series, where the terms in the harmonic series correspond to the nodes on a vibrating string that produce multiples of the fundamental frequency. For 1 example, 2 is twice the fundamental frequency, 1 3 is three times the fundamental frequency, and so on.

is the harmonic series. A general harmonic series is of the form 1 an  b. In music, strings of the same material, diameter, and tension, whose lengths form a harmonic series, produce harmonic tones. The Integral Test is convenient for establishing the convergence or divergence of p-series. This is shown in the proof of Theorem 9.11. THEOREM 9.11 CONVERGENCE OF p-SERIES The p-series

converges if p > 1 and diverges if 0 < p 1. The sum of the series in Example 3(b) can be shown to be  2 6. (This was proved by Leonhard Euler, but the proof is too difficult to present here.) Be sure you see that the Integral Test does not tell you that the sum of the series is equal to the value of the integral. For instance, the sum of the series in Example 3(b) is NOTE

Solution This series is similar to the divergent harmonic series. If its terms were larger than those of the harmonic series, you would expect it to diverge. However, because its terms are smaller, you are not sure what to expect. The function f x  1 x ln x is positive and continuous for x  2. To determine whether f is decreasing, first rewrite f as f x  x ln x1 and then find its derivative. fx  1x ln x21  ln x  

1  ln x x2ln x2

So, fx < 0 for x > 2 and it follows that f satisfies the conditions for the Integral Test.

Apago PDF NOTE The infinite series inEnhancer Example 4 diverges very slowly. For instance, the sum of the first 10 terms is approximately 1.6878196, whereas the sum of the first 100 terms is just slightly larger: 2.3250871. In fact, the sum of the first 10,000 terms is approximately 3.015021704.You can see that although the infinite series “adds up to infinity,” it does so very slowly. ■

Comparisons of Series ■ Use the Direct Comparison Test to determine whether a series converges or

diverges. ■ Use the Limit Comparison Test to determine whether a series converges or

diverges.

Direct Comparison Test For the convergence tests developed so far, the terms of the series have to be fairly simple and the series must have special characteristics in order for the convergence tests to be applied. A slight deviation from these special characteristics can make a test nonapplicable. For example, in the following pairs, the second series cannot be tested by the same convergence test as the first series even though it is similar to the first. 1.

They allow you to compare a series having complicated terms with a simpler series whose convergence or divergence is known.

it follows that  an converges. The second property is logically equivalent to the first.

■

NOTE As stated, the Direct Comparison Test requires that 0 < an bn for all n. Because the convergence of a series is not dependent on its first several terms, you could modify the test to require only that 0 < an bn for all n greater than some integer N. ■

Remember that both parts of the Direct Comparison Test require that 0 < an bn. Informally, the test says the following about the two series with nonnegative terms. 1. If the “larger” series converges, the “smaller” series must also converge. 2. If the “smaller” series diverges, the “larger” series must also diverge.

Chapter 9

Infinite Series

Limit Comparison Test Often a given series closely resembles a p-series or a geometric series, yet you cannot establish the term-by-term comparison necessary to apply the Direct Comparison Test. Under these circumstances you may be able to apply a second comparison test, called the Limit Comparison Test. THEOREM 9.13 LIMIT COMPARISON TEST Suppose that an > 0, bn > 0, and lim

ab  L n

n→ 

n

where L is finite and positive. Then the two series  an and  bn either both converge or both diverge.

NOTE As with the Direct Comparison Test, the Limit Comparison Test could be modified to require only that an and bn be positive for all n greater than some integer N.

Because an > 0, bn > 0, and

Because this limit is greater than 0, you can conclude from the Limit Comparison Test that the given series diverges. ■

Alternating Series ■ Use the Alternating Series Test to determine whether an infinite series converges. ■ Use the Alternating Series Remainder to approximate the sum of an alternating

series. ■ Classify a convergent series as absolutely or conditionally convergent. ■ Rearrange an infinite series to obtain a different sum.

Alternating Series So far, most series you have dealt with have had positive terms. In this section and the following section, you will study series that contain both positive and negative terms. The simplest such series is an alternating series, whose terms alternate in sign. For example, the geometric series

PROOF Consider the alternating series  1n1 an. For this series, the partial sum (where 2n is even)

S2n  a1  a2  a3  a4  a5  a6  . . .  a2n1  a2n has all nonnegative terms, and therefore S2n is a nondecreasing sequence. But you can also write S2n  a1  a2  a3  a4  a5  . . .  a2n2  a2n1  a2n which implies that S2n a1 for every integer n. So, S2n is a bounded, nondecreasing sequence that converges to some value L. Because S2n1  a2n  S2n and a2n → 0, you have lim S2n1  n→ lim S2n  n→ lim a 2n

n→ 





 L  lim a2n  L. n→ 

Because both S2n and S2n1 converge to the same limit L, it follows that Sn also converges to L. Consequently, the given alternating series converges. ■ NOTE The second condition in the Alternating Series Test can be modified to require only that 0 < an1 an for all n greater than some integer N. ■

Therefore, by the Alternating Series Test, the series converges.

EXAMPLE 3 When the Alternating Series Test Does Not Apply NOTE In Example 3(a), remember that whenever a series does not pass the first condition of the Alternating Series Test, you can use the nth-Term Test for Divergence to conclude that the series diverges.

a. The alternating series

1n1n  1 2 3 4 5 6 . . .       n 1 2 3 4 5 n1 



passes the second condition of the Alternating Series Test because an1 an for all n. You cannot apply the Alternating Series Test, however, because the series does not pass the first condition. In fact, the series diverges. b. The alternating series 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 . . .         1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 passes the first condition because an approaches 0 as n → . You cannot apply the Alternating Series Test, however, because the series does not pass the second condition. To conclude that the series diverges, you can argue that S2N equals the Nth partial sum of the divergent harmonic series. This implies that the sequence of ■ partial sums diverges. So, the series diverges.

Absolute and Conditional Convergence Occasionally, a series may have both positive and negative terms and not be an alternating series. For instance, the series 

sin n sin 1 sin 2 sin 3 . . .    2  1 4 9 n1 n



has both positive and negative terms, yet it is not an alternating series. One way to obtain some information about the convergence of this series is to investigate the convergence of the series

Rearrangement of Series A finite sum such as 1  3  2  5  4 can be rearranged without changing the value of the sum. This is not necessarily true of an infinite series—it depends on whether the series is absolutely convergent (every rearrangement has the same sum) or conditionally convergent.

Although the Ratio Test is not a cure for all ills related to testing for convergence, it is particularly useful for series that converge rapidly. Series involving factorials or exponentials are frequently of this type.

So, the Ratio Test is inconclusive. To determine whether the series converges, you need to try a different test. In this case, you can apply the Alternating Series Test. To show that an1 an, let f x

Then the derivative is f  x

Therefore, by the Alternating Series Test, the series converges.

Because this limit is less than 1, you can conclude that the series converges absolutely (and therefore converges). ■ ■ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION For more information on the usefulness of the Root Test, see the article “N! and the Root Test” by Charles C. Mumma II in The American Mathematical Monthly. To view this article, go to the website www.matharticles.com.

To see the usefulness of the Root Test for the series in Example 4, try applying the Ratio Test to that series. When you do this, you obtain the following. lim

Strategies for Testing Series You have now studied 10 tests for determining the convergence or divergence of an infinite series. (See the summary in the table on page 646.) Skill in choosing and applying the various tests will come only with practice. Below is a set of guidelines for choosing an appropriate test. GUIDELINES FOR TESTING A SERIES FOR CONVERGENCE OR DIVERGENCE 1. Does the nth term approach 0? If not, the series diverges. 2. Is the series one of the special types—geometric, p-series, telescoping, or alternating? 3. Can the Integral Test, the Root Test, or the Ratio Test be applied? 4. Can the series be compared favorably to one of the special types?

In some instances, more than one test is applicable. However, your objective should be to learn to choose the most efficient test.

Solution a. For this series, the limit of the nth term is not 0 an → 13 as n → . So, by the nth-Term Test, the series diverges. b. This series is geometric. Moreover, because the ratio r   6 of the terms is less than 1 in absolute value, you can conclude that the series converges. 2 c. Because the function f x  xex is easily integrated, you can use the Integral Test to conclude that the series converges. d. The nth term of this series can be compared to the nth term of the harmonic series. After using the Limit Comparison Test, you can conclude that the series diverges. e. This is an alternating series whose nth term approaches 0. Because an1 an, you can use the Alternating Series Test to conclude that the series converges. f. The nth term of this series involves a factorial, which indicates that the Ratio Test may work well. After applying the Ratio Test, you can conclude that the series diverges. g. The nth term of this series involves a variable that is raised to the nth power, which indicates that the Root Test may work well. After applying the Root Test, you can conclude that the series converges. ■

Polynomial Approximations of Elementary Functions The goal of this section is to show how polynomial functions can be used as approximations for other elementary functions. To find a polynomial function P that approximates another function f, begin by choosing a number c in the domain of f at which f and P have the same value. That is,

y

Pc  f c.

P(c) = f (c) P ′(c) = f ′(c) f

(c, f (c))

P x

Near c, f c, the graph of P can be used to approximate the graph of f. Figure 9.10

Graphs of f and P pass through c, f c.

The approximating polynomial is said to be expanded about c or centered at c. Geometrically, the requirement that Pc  f c means that the graph of P passes through the point c, f c. Of course, there are many polynomials whose graphs pass through the point c, f c. Your task is to find a polynomial whose graph resembles the graph of f near this point. One way to do this is to impose the additional requirement that the slope of the polynomial function be the same as the slope of the graph of f at the point c, f c. Pc  fc

Graphs of f and P have the same slope at c, f c.

With these two requirements, you can obtain a simple linear approximation of f, as shown in Figure 9.10.

is reasonably close to the graph of f x  e x. However, as you move away from 0, 1, the graphs move farther and farther from each other and the accuracy of the approximation decreases. To improve the approximation, you can impose yet another requirement— that the values of the second derivatives of P and f agree when x  0.

Taylor Polynomials and Approximations

Taylor polynomials and Maclaurin polynomials can be used to approximate the value of a function at a specific point. For instance, to approximate the value of ln1.1, you can use Taylor polynomials for f x  ln x expanded about c  1, as shown in Example 4, or you can use Maclaurin polynomials, as shown in Example 7.

EXAMPLE 7 Approximation Using Maclaurin Polynomials Use a fourth Maclaurin polynomial to approximate the value of ln1.1. Solution Because 1.1 is closer to 1 than to 0, you should consider Maclaurin polynomials for the function gx  ln 1  x. gx  ln1  x g x  1  x 1 g x   1  x 2 g  x  21  x 3 g4x  6 1  x 4

Note that you obtain the same coefficients as in Example 4. Therefore, the fourth Maclaurin polynomial for gx)  ln 1  x is g 0 2 g 0 3 g40 4 x  x  x 2! 3! 4! 1 1 1  x  x 2  x 3  x 4. 2 3 4 Consequently, P4 x  g0  g0 x 

ln1.1  ln1  0.1  P 0.1  0.0953083. Apago PDF Enhancer 4

The table at the left illustrates the accuracy of the Taylor polynomial approximation of the calculator value of ln1.1. You can see that as n becomes larger, Pn 0.1 approaches the calculator value of 0.0953102. On the other hand, the table below illustrates that as you move away from the expansion point c  1, the accuracy of the approximation decreases. Fourth Taylor Polynomial Approximation of ln1 1 x

These two tables illustrate two very important points about the accuracy of Taylor (or Maclaurin) polynomials for use in approximations. 1. The approximation is usually better at x-values close to c than at x-values far from c. 2. The approximation is usually better for higher-degree Taylor (or Maclaurin) polynomials than for those of lower degree.

Remainder of a Taylor Polynomial An approximation technique is of little value without some idea of its accuracy. To measure the accuracy of approximating a function value f x by the Taylor polynomial Pn x, you can use the concept of a remainder Rn x, defined as follows. f x  Pn x  Rnx Exact value

Approximate Value

Remainder

So, Rnx  f x  Pn x. The absolute value of Rnx is called the error associated with the approximation. That is,



 



Error  Rnx  f x  Pn x . The next theorem gives a general procedure for estimating the remainder associated with a Taylor polynomial. This important theorem is called Taylor’s Theorem, and the remainder given in the theorem is called the Lagrange form of the remainder. (The proof of the theorem is lengthy, and is given in Appendix A.) THEOREM 9.19 TAYLOR’S THEOREM If a function f is differentiable through order n  1 in an interval I containing c, then, for each x in I, there exists z between x and c such that

Apago PDF Enhancer f c f x  f c  fcx  c 

f nc 2 n x  c  . . .  x  c  Rnx 2! n!

where Rnx 

NOTE

f n1z x  c n1. n  1!

One useful consequence of Taylor’s Theorem is that

x  c n1 Rnx ≤  n  1! max  f n1z





where max f n1z is the maximum value of f n1z between x and c.

■

For n  0, Taylor’s Theorem states that if f is differentiable in an interval I containing c, then, for each x in I, there exists z between x and c such that f x  f c  fzx  c

or

fz 

f x  f c . xc

Do you recognize this special case of Taylor’s Theorem? (It is the Mean Value Theorem.) When applying Taylor’s Theorem, you should not expect to be able to find the exact value of z. (If you could do this, an approximation would not be necessary.) Rather, you try to find bounds for f n1z from which you are able to tell how large the remainder Rn x is.

EXAMPLE 8 Determining the Accuracy of an Approximation The third Maclaurin polynomial for sin x is given by x3 . 3!

sin x  x 

where 0 < z < 0.1. Therefore, Try using a calculator to verify the results obtained in Examples 8 and 9. For Example 8, you obtain NOTE

sin0.1  0.0998334. For Example 9, you obtain P3 1.2  0.1827 and ln1.2  0.1823.

sin 0.1  0.1 

0.1 3  0.1  0.000167  0.099833. 3!





Because f 4z  sin z, it follows that the error R30.1 can be bounded as follows. 0 < R30.1 

0.0001 sin z 0.14 <  0.000004 4! 4!

This implies that 0.099833 < sin0.1  0.099833  R3x < 0.099833  0.000004 0.099833 < sin0.1 < 0.099837.

EXAMPLEPDF 9 Approximating a Value to a Desired Accuracy Apago Enhancer Determine the degree of the Taylor polynomial Pn x expanded about c  1 that should be used to approximate ln1.2 so that the error is less than 0.001. Solution Following the pattern of Example 4, you can see that the n  1st derivative of f x  ln x is given by f n1x  1 n

n! . x n1





Using Taylor’s Theorem, you know that the error Rn1.2 is given by

Rn1.2 



f n1z

n  1!



1.2  1 n1  





1 n! 0.2 n1 z n1 n  1!

0.2 n1 z n1n  1

where 1 < z < 1.2. In this interval, 0.2n1 zn1n  1 is less than 0.2n1 n  1. So, you are seeking a value of n such that

0.2n1 < 0.001 n  1

1000 < n  15 n1.

By trial and error, you can determine that the smallest value of n that satisfies this inequality is n  3. So, you would need the third Taylor polynomial to achieve the ■ desired accuracy in approximating ln1.2.

So, c always lies in the domain of f. The following important theorem states that the domain of a power series can take three basic forms: a single point, an interval centered at c, or the entire real line, as shown in Figure 9.17. A proof is given in Appendix A. THEOREM 9.20 CONVERGENCE OF A POWER SERIES For a power series centered at c, precisely one of the following is true. 1. The series converges only at c. 2. There exists a real number R > 0 such that the series converges absolutely for x  c < R, and diverges for x  c > R. 3. The series converges absolutely for all x.









The number R is the radius of convergence of the power series. If the series converges only at c, the radius of convergence is R  0, and if the series converges for all x, the radius of convergence is R  . The set of all values of x for which the power series converges is the interval of convergence of the power series.

Therefore, by the Ratio Test, the series diverges for x > 0 and converges only at its center, 0. So, the radius of convergence is R  0.

Endpoint Convergence Note that for a power series whose radius of convergence is a finite number R, Theorem 9.20 says nothing about the convergence at the endpoints of the interval of convergence. Each endpoint must be tested separately for convergence or divergence. As a result, the interval of convergence of a power series can take any one of the six forms shown in Figure 9.18. Radius:

So, by the Ratio Test, the radius of convergence is R  1. Moreover, because the series is centered at 0, it converges in the interval 1, 1. This interval, however, is not necessarily the interval of convergence. To determine this, you must test for convergence at each endpoint. When x  1, you obtain the divergent harmonic series

Differentiation and Integration of Power Series

The Granger Collection

Power series representation of functions has played an important role in the development of calculus. In fact, much of Newton’s work with differentiation and integration was done in the context of power series—especially his work with complicated algebraic functions and transcendental functions. Euler, Lagrange, Leibniz, and the Bernoullis all used power series extensively in calculus. Once you have defined a function with a power series, it is natural to wonder how you can determine the characteristics of the function. Is it continuous? Differentiable? Theorem 9.21, which is stated without proof, answers these questions. THEOREM 9.21 PROPERTIES OF FUNCTIONS DEFINED BY POWER SERIES If the function given by JAMES GREGORY (1638–1675)

The radius of convergence of the series obtained by differentiating or integrating a power series is the same as that of the original power series. The interval of convergence, however, may differ as a result of the behavior at the endpoints.

Theorem 9.21 states that, in many ways, a function defined by a power series behaves like a polynomial. It is continuous in its interval of convergence, and both its derivative and its antiderivative can be determined by differentiating and integrating each term of the given power series. For instance, the derivative of the power series f x

From Example 8, it appears that of the three series, the one for the derivative, fx, is the least likely to converge at the endpoints. In fact, it can be shown that if the series for fx converges at the endpoints x  c ± R, the series for f x will also converge there.

JOSEPH FOURIER (1768–1830) Some of the early work in representing functions by power series was done by the French mathematician Joseph Fourier. Fourier’s work is important in the history of calculus, partly because it forced eighteenth century mathematicians to question the then-prevailing narrow concept of a function. Both Cauchy and Dirichlet were motivated by Fourier’s work with series, and in 1837 Dirichlet published the general definition of a function that is used today.

Of course, this series represents f x  1 1  x only on the interval 1, 1, whereas f is defined for all x  1, as shown in Figure 9.22. To represent f in another interval, you must develop a different series. For instance, to obtain the power series centered at 1, you could write 1 1 2 a 1    1  x 2  x  1 1  x  1 2 1  r

SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN (1887–1920) Series that can be used to approximate  have interested mathematicians for the past 300 years. An amazing series for approximating 1  was discovered by the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan in 1914 (see Exercise 67). Each successive term of Ramanujan’s series adds roughly eight more correct digits to the value of 1 . For more information about Ramanujan’s work, see the article “Ramanujan and Pi” by Jonathan M. Borwein and Peter B. Borwein in Scientific American.

It can be shown that the power series developed for arctan x in Example 5 also converges (to arctan x) for x  ± 1. For instance, when x  1, you can write

However, this series (developed by James Gregory in 1671) does not give us a practical way of approximating  because it converges so slowly that hundreds of terms would have to be used to obtain reasonable accuracy. Example 6 shows how to use two different arctangent series to obtain a very good approximation of  using only a few terms. This approximation was developed by John Machin in 1706.

EXAMPLE 6 Approximating  with a Series Use the trigonometric identity 4 arctan

Taylor and Maclaurin Series ■ Find a Taylor or Maclaurin series for a function. ■ Find a binomial series. ■ Use a basic list of Taylor series to find other Taylor series.

Taylor Series and Maclaurin Series In Section 9.9, you derived power series for several functions using geometric series with term-by-term differentiation or integration. In this section you will study a general procedure for deriving the power series for a function that has derivatives of all orders. The following theorem gives the form that every convergent power series must take. THEOREM 9.22 THE FORM OF A CONVERGENT POWER SERIES Bettmann/Corbis

If f is represented by a power series f x   anx  cn for all x in an open interval I containing c, then an  f nc n! and f x  f c  fcx  c 

f c f nc x  c2  . . .  x  cn  . . . . 2! n!

COLIN MACLAURIN (1698–1746) The development of power series to represent functions is credited to the combined work of many seventeenth and eighteenth century mathematicians. Gregory, Newton, John and James Bernoulli, Leibniz, Euler, Lagrange, Wallis, and Fourier all contributed to this work. However, the two names that are most commonly associated with power series are Brook Taylor (1685–1731) and Colin Maclaurin.

Suppose the power series  anx  cn has a radius of convergence R. Then, by Theorem 9.21, you know that the nth derivative of f exists for x  c < R, and by successive differentiation you obtain the following. PROOF

and, in general, f nc  n!an. By solving for an, you find that the coefficients of the power series representation of f x are Be sure you understand Theorem 9.22. The theorem says that if a power series converges to f x, the series must be a Taylor series. The theorem does not say that every series formed with the Taylor coefficients an  f nc n! will converge to f x. NOTE

Notice that the coefficients of the power series in Theorem 9.22 are precisely the coefficients of the Taylor polynomials for f x at c as defined in Section 9.7. For this reason, the series is called the Taylor series for f x at c.

is called the Taylor series for f x at c. Moreover, if c  0, then the series is the Maclaurin series for f.

If you know the pattern for the coefficients of the Taylor polynomials for a function, you can extend the pattern easily to form the corresponding Taylor series. For instance, in Example 4 in Section 9.7, you found the fourth Taylor polynomial for ln x, centered at 1, to be 1 1 1 P4x  x  1  x  12  x  13  x  14. 2 3 4 From this pattern, you can obtain the Taylor series for ln x centered at c  1,

How can a set of parametric equations be ■ used to find the minimum angle at which the ball must leave the bat in order for the hit to be a home run? (See Section 10.2, Exercise 75.)

In the polar coordinate system, graphing an equation involves tracing a curve about a fixed point called the pole. Consider a region bounded by a curve and by the rays that contain the endpoints of an interval on the curve. You can use sectors of circles to approximate the area of such a region. In Section 10.5, you will see how the limit process can be used to find this area.

Conic Sections

Bettmann/Corbis

Each conic section (or simply conic) can be described as the intersection of a plane and a double-napped cone. Notice in Figure 10.1 that for the four basic conics, the intersecting plane does not pass through the vertex of the cone. When the plane passes through the vertex, the resulting figure is a degenerate conic, as shown in Figure 10.2.

HYPATIA (370– 415 A.D.) The Greeks discovered conic sections sometime between 600 and 300 B.C. By the beginning of the Alexandrian period, enough was known about conics for Apollonius (262–190 B.C.) to produce an eight-volume work on the subject. Later, toward the end of the Alexandrian period, Hypatia wrote a textbook entitled On the Conics of Apollonius. Her death marked the end of major mathematical discoveries in Europe for several hundred years. The early Greeks were largely concerned with the geometric properties of conics. It was not until 1900 years later, in the early seventeenth century, that the broader applicability of conics became apparent. Conics then played a prominent role in the development of calculus.

There are several ways to study conics. You could begin as the Greeks did by defining the conics in terms of the intersections of planes and cones, or you could define them algebraically in terms of the general second-degree equation Ax 2  Bxy  Cy 2  Dx  Ey  F  0.

Ellipse

General second-degree equation

However, a third approach, in which each of the conics is defined as a locus (collection) of points satisfying a certain geometric property, works best. For example, a circle can be defined as the collection of all points (x, y that are equidistant from a fixed point h, k. This locus definition easily produces the standard equation of a circle

Parabolas A parabola is the set of all points x, y that are equidistant from a fixed line called the directrix and a fixed point called the focus not on the line. The midpoint between the focus and the directrix is the vertex, and the line passing through the focus and the vertex is the axis of the parabola. Note in Figure 10.3 that a parabola is symmetric with respect to its axis.

Focus

■

A line segment that passes through the focus of a parabola and has endpoints on the parabola is called a focal chord. The specific focal chord perpendicular to the axis of the parabola is the latus rectum. The next example shows how to determine the length of the latus rectum and the length of the corresponding intercepted arc.

Conics, Parametric Equations, and Polar Coordinates

EXAMPLE 2 Focal Chord Length and Arc Length Find the length of the latus rectum of the parabola given by x 2  4py. Then find the length of the parabolic arc intercepted by the latus rectum. Solution Because the latus rectum passes through the focus 0, p and is perpendicular to the y-axis, the coordinates of its endpoints are x, p and x, p. Substituting p for y in the equation of the parabola produces

x 2 = 4py

x 2  4p p

So, the endpoints of the latus rectum are 2p, p and 2p, p, and you can conclude that its length is 4p, as shown in Figure 10.5. In contrast, the length of the intercepted arc is

One widely used property of a parabola is its reflective property. In physics, a surface is called reflective if the tangent line at any point on the surface makes equal angles with an incoming ray and the resulting outgoing ray. The angle corresponding to the incoming ray is the angle of incidence, and the angle corresponding to the outgoing ray is the angle of reflection. One example of a reflective surface is a flat mirror. Another type of reflective surface is that formed by revolving a parabola about its axis. A special property of parabolic reflectors is that they allow us to direct all incoming rays parallel to the axis through the focus of the parabola—this is the principle behind the design of the parabolic mirrors used in reflecting telescopes. Conversely, all light rays emanating from the focus of a parabolic reflector used in a flashlight are parallel, as shown in Figure 10.6. Light source at focus Axis

More than a thousand years after the close of the Alexandrian period of Greek mathematics, Western civilization finally began a Renaissance of mathematical and scientific discovery. One of the principal figures in this rebirth was the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. In his work On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, Copernicus claimed that all of the planets, including Earth, revolved about the sun in circular orbits. Although some of Copernicus’s claims were invalid, the controversy set off by his heliocentric theory motivated astronomers to search for a mathematical model to explain the observed movements of the sun and planets. The first to find an accurate model was the German astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571–1630). Kepler discovered that the planets move about the sun in elliptical orbits, with the sun not as the center but as a focal point of the orbit. The use of ellipses to explain the movements of the planets is only one of many practical and aesthetic uses. As with parabolas, you will begin your study of this second type of conic by defining it as a locus of points. Now, however, two focal points are used rather than one. An ellipse is the set of all points x, y the sum of whose distances from two distinct fixed points called foci is constant. (See Figure 10.7.) The line through the foci intersects the ellipse at two points, called the vertices. The chord joining the vertices is the major axis, and its midpoint is the center of the ellipse. The chord perpendicular to the major axis at the center is the minor axis of the ellipse. (See Figure 10.8.) (x, y) d1

If the ends of a fixed length of string are fastened to the thumbtacks and the string is drawn taut with a pencil, the path traced by the pencil will be an ellipse. Figure 10.9

The foci lie on the major axis, c units from the center, with c 2  a 2  b 2.

You can visualize the definition of an ellipse by imagining two thumbtacks placed at the foci, as shown in Figure 10.9.

Theorem 10.2 presented a reflective property of parabolas. Ellipses have a similar reflective property. You are asked to prove the following theorem in Exercise 112. THEOREM 10.4 REFLECTIVE PROPERTY OF AN ELLIPSE Let P be a point on an ellipse. The tangent line to the ellipse at point P makes equal angles with the lines through P and the foci.

One of the reasons that astronomers had difficulty in detecting that the orbits of the planets are ellipses is that the foci of the planetary orbits are relatively close to the center of the sun, making the orbits nearly circular. To measure the ovalness of an ellipse, you can use the concept of eccentricity. DEFINITION OF ECCENTRICITY OF AN ELLIPSE The eccentricity e of an ellipse is given by the ratio c e . a

To see how this ratio is used to describe the shape of an ellipse, note that because the foci of an ellipse are located along the major axis between the vertices and the center, it follows that 0 < c < a.

is small, and for an elongated ellipse, the foci are close to the vertices and the ratio c a is close to 1, as shown in Figure 10.12. Note that 0 < e < 1 for every ellipse. The orbit of the moon has an eccentricity of e  0.0549, and the eccentricities of the eight planetary orbits are as follows.

A great deal of time has been devoted to the study of elliptic integrals. Such integrals generally do not have elementary antiderivatives. To find the circumference of an ellipse, you must usually resort to an approximation technique.

The definition of a hyperbola is similar to that of an ellipse. For an ellipse, the sum of the distances between the foci and a point on the ellipse is fixed, whereas for a hyperbola, the absolute value of the difference between these distances is fixed. A hyperbola is the set of all points x, y for which the absolute value of the difference between the distances from two distinct fixed points called foci is constant. (See Figure 10.14.) The line through the two foci intersects a hyperbola at two points called the vertices. The line segment connecting the vertices is the transverse axis, and the midpoint of the transverse axis is the center of the hyperbola. One distinguishing feature of a hyperbola is that its graph has two separate branches.

An important aid in sketching the graph of a hyperbola is the determination of its asymptotes, as shown in Figure 10.15. Each hyperbola has two asymptotes that intersect at the center of the hyperbola. The asymptotes pass through the vertices of a rectangle of dimensions 2a by 2b, with its center at h, k. The line segment of length 2b joining h, k  b and h, k  b is referred to as the conjugate axis of the hyperbola.

In Figure 10.15 you can see that the asymptotes coincide with the diagonals of the rectangle with dimensions 2a and 2b, centered at h, k. This provides you with a quick means of sketching the asymptotes, which in turn aids in sketching the hyperbola.

The following application was developed during World War II. It shows how the properties of hyperbolas can be used in radar and other detection systems.

Solution Assuming that sound travels at 1100 feet per second, you know that the explosion took place 2200 feet farther from B than from A, as shown in Figure 10.18. The locus of all points that are 2200 feet closer to A than to B is one branch of the hyperbola x 2 a 2   y 2 b 2  1, where

CAROLINE HERSCHEL (1750–1848) The first woman to be credited with detecting a new comet was the English astronomer Caroline Herschel. During her life, Caroline Herschel discovered a total of eight new comets.

■

In Example 8, you were able to determine only the hyperbola on which the explosion occurred, but not the exact location of the explosion. If, however, you had received the sound at a third position C, then two other hyperbolas would be determined. The exact location of the explosion would be the point at which these three hyperbolas intersect. Another interesting application of conics involves the orbits of comets in our solar system. Of the 610 comets identified prior to 1970, 245 have elliptical orbits, 295 have parabolic orbits, and 70 have hyperbolic orbits. The center of the sun is a focus of each orbit, and each orbit has a vertex at the point at which the comet is closest to the sun. Undoubtedly, many comets with parabolic or hyperbolic orbits have not been identified—such comets pass through our solar system only once. Only comets with elliptical orbits such as Halley’s comet remain in our solar system. The type of orbit for a comet can be determined as follows. 1. Ellipse: v < 2GM p 2. Parabola: v  2GM p 3. Hyperbola: v > 2GM p In these three formulas, p is the distance between one vertex and one focus of the comet’s orbit (in meters), v is the velocity of the comet at the vertex (in meters per second), M  1.989  1030 kilograms is the mass of the sun, and G  6.67  108 cubic meters per kilogram-second squared is the gravitational constant.

Plane Curves and Parametric Equations ■ ■ ■ ■

Sketch the graph of a curve given by a set of parametric equations. Eliminate the parameter in a set of parametric equations. Find a set of parametric equations to represent a curve. Understand two classic calculus problems, the tautochrone and brachistochrone problems.

Plane Curves and Parametric Equations Until now, you have been representing a graph by a single equation involving two variables. In this section you will study situations in which three variables are used to represent a curve in the plane. Consider the path followed by an object that is propelled into the air at an angle of 45. If the initial velocity of the object is 48 feet per second, the object travels the parabolic path given by

as shown in Figure 10.19. However, this equation does not tell the whole story. Although it does tell you where the object has been, it doesn’t tell you when the object was at a given point x, y. To determine this time, you can introduce a third variable t, called a parameter. By writing both x and y as functions of t, you obtain the parametric equations x  242 t

Parametric equation for x

and Apago PDF Enhancer y  16t 2  242 t.

Parametric equation for y

From this set of equations, you can determine that at time t  0, the object is at the point (0, 0). Similarly, at time t  1, the object is at the point 242, 242  16, and so on. (You will learn a method for determining this particular set of parametric equations—the equations of motion—later, in Section 12.3.) For this particular motion problem, x and y are continuous functions of t, and the resulting path is called a plane curve. DEFINITION OF A PLANE CURVE If f and g are continuous functions of t on an interval I, then the equations x  f t

and

y  gt

are called parametric equations and t is called the parameter. The set of points x, y obtained as t varies over the interval I is called the graph of the parametric equations. Taken together, the parametric equations and the graph are called a plane curve, denoted by C.

NOTE At times it is important to distinguish between a graph (the set of points) and a curve (the points together with their defining parametric equations). When it is important, we will make the distinction explicit. When it is not important, we will use C to represent the graph or the curve. ■

Conics, Parametric Equations, and Polar Coordinates

When sketching (by hand) a curve represented by a set of parametric equations, you can plot points in the xy-plane. Each set of coordinates x, y is determined from a value chosen for the parameter t. By plotting the resulting points in order of increasing values of t, the curve is traced out in a specific direction. This is called the orientation of the curve.

However, comparing the values of t in Figures 10.20 and 10.21, you can see that the second graph is traced out more rapidly (considering t as time) than the first graph. So, in applications, different parametric representations can be used to represent various speeds at which objects travel along a given path. TECHNOLOGY Most graphing utilities have a parametric graphing mode. If you have access to such a utility, use it to confirm the graphs shown in Figures 10.20 and 10.21. Does the curve given by the parametric equations

x  4t 2  8 t and

Eliminating the Parameter Finding a rectangular equation that represents the graph of a set of parametric equations is called eliminating the parameter. For instance, you can eliminate the parameter from the set of parametric equations in Example 1 as follows. Parametric equations

Solve for t in one equation.

Substitute into second equation.

Once you have eliminated the parameter, you can recognize that the equation x  4y 2  4 represents a parabola with a horizontal axis and vertex at 4, 0, as shown in Figure 10.20. The range of x and y implied by the parametric equations may be altered by the change to rectangular form. In such instances the domain of the rectangular equation must be adjusted so that its graph matches the graph of the parametric equations. Such a situation is demonstrated in the next example.

You still need the parametric equations to tell you the position, direction, and speed at a given time.

You will now investigate the reverse problem. How can you determine a set of parametric equations for a given graph or a given physical description?

This is demonstrated further in the following example, which finds two different parametric representations for a given graph.

For part (a), the curve would have the opposite orientation. ■ TECHNOLOGY To be efficient at using a graphing utility, it is important that you develop skill in representing a graph by a set of parametric equations. The reason for this is that many graphing utilities have only three graphing modes—(1) functions, (2) parametric equations, and (3) polar equations. Most graphing utilities are not programmed to graph a general equation. For instance, suppose you want to graph the hyperbola x 2  y 2  1. To graph the hyperbola in function mode, you need two equations: y  x 2  1 and y   x 2  1. In parametric mode, you can represent the graph by x  sec t and y  tan t.

CYCLOIDS Galileo first called attention to the cycloid, once recommending that it be used for the arches of bridges. Pascal once spent 8 days attempting to solve many of the problems of cycloids, such as finding the area under one arch, and the volume of the solid of revolution formed by revolving the curve about a line. The cycloid has so many interesting properties and has caused so many quarrels among mathematicians that it has been called “the Helen of geometry” and “the apple of discord.”

EXAMPLE 5 Parametric Equations for a Cycloid Determine the curve traced by a point P on the circumference of a circle of radius a rolling along a straight line in a plane. Such a curve is called a cycloid. Solution Let the parameter  be the measure of the circle’s rotation, and let the point P  x, y begin at the origin. When   0, P is at the origin. When   , P is at a maximum point  a, 2a. When   2, P is back on the x-axis at 2 a, 0. From Figure 10.25, you can see that ⬔APC  180  . So, sin   sin180     sin⬔APC

TECHNOLOGY Some graphing utilities allow you to simulate the motion of an object that is moving in the plane or in space. If you have access to such a utility, use it to trace out the path of the cycloid shown in Figure 10.25.

DEFINITION OF A SMOOTH CURVE A curve C represented by x  f t and y  gt on an interval I is called smooth if f and g are continuous on I and not simultaneously 0, except possibly at the endpoints of I. The curve C is called piecewise smooth if it is smooth on each subinterval of some partition of I.

The Tautochrone and Brachistochrone Problems

A C

The time required to complete a full swing of the pendulum when starting from point C is only approximately the same as when starting from point A. Figure 10.26

The type of curve described in Example 5 is related to one of the most famous pairs of problems in the history of calculus. The first problem (called the tautochrone problem) began with Galileo’s discovery that the time required to complete a full swing of a given pendulum is approximately the same whether it makes a large movement at high speed or a small movement at lower speed (see Figure 10.26). Late in his life, Galileo (1564–1642) realized that he could use this principle to construct a clock. However, he was not able to conquer the mechanics of actual construction. Christian Huygens (1629–1695) was the first to design and construct a working model. In his work with pendulums, Huygens realized that a pendulum does not take exactly the same time to complete swings of varying lengths. (This doesn’t affect a pendulum clock, because the length of the circular arc is kept constant by giving the pendulum a slight boost each time it passes its lowest point.) But, in studying the problem, Huygens discovered that a ball rolling back and forth on an inverted cycloid does complete each cycle in exactly the same time. A

An inverted cycloid is the path down which a ball will roll in the shortest time. Figure 10.27 Apago PDF Enhancer

JAMES BERNOULLI (1654–1705) James Bernoulli, also called Jacques, was the older brother of John. He was one of several accomplished mathematicians of the Swiss Bernoulli family. James’s mathematical accomplishments have given him a prominent place in the early development of calculus.

The second problem, which was posed by John Bernoulli in 1696, is called the brachistochrone problem—in Greek, brachys means short and chronos means time. The problem was to determine the path down which a particle will slide from point A to point B in the shortest time. Several mathematicians took up the challenge, and the following year the problem was solved by Newton, Leibniz, L’Hôpital, John Bernoulli, and James Bernoulli. As it turns out, the solution is not a straight line from A to B, but an inverted cycloid passing through the points A and B, as shown in Figure 10.27. The amazing part of the solution is that a particle starting at rest at any other point C of the cycloid between A and B will take exactly the same time to reach B, as shown in Figure 10.28. A

A ball starting at point C takes the same time to reach point B as one that starts at point A. Figure 10.28 ■ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION To see a proof of the famous brachistochrone problem, see

You also know that the object is initially projected at an angle of 45. But how can you find the angle  representing the object’s direction at some other time t ? The following theorem answers this question by giving a formula for the slope of the tangent line as a function of t.

NOTE When applying the arc length formula to a curve, be sure that the curve is traced out only once on the interval of integration. For instance, the circle given by x  cos t and y  sin t is traced out once on the interval 0 t 2, but is traced out twice on the interval 0 t 4. ■

In the preceding section you saw that if a circle rolls along a line, a point on its circumference will trace a path called a cycloid. If the circle rolls around the circumference of another circle, the path of the point is an epicycloid. The next example shows how to find the arc length of an epicycloid.

EXAMPLE 4 Finding Arc Length

ARCH OF A CYCLOID The arc length of an arch of a cycloid was first calculated in 1658 by British architect and mathematician Christopher Wren, famous for rebuilding many buildings and churches in London, including St. Paul’s Cathedral.

A circle of radius 1 rolls around the circumference of a larger circle of radius 4, as shown in Figure 10.33. The epicycloid traced by a point on the circumference of the smaller circle is given by x  5 cos t  cos 5t and

y  5 sin t  sin 5t.

Apago PDF Enhancer Find the distance traveled by the point in one complete trip about the larger circle. Solution Before applying Theorem 10.8, note in Figure 10.33 that the curve has sharp points when t  0 and t   2. Between these two points, dx dt and dy dt are not simultaneously 0. So, the portion of the curve generated from t  0 to t   2 is smooth. To find the total distance traveled by the point, you can find the arc length of that portion lying in the first quadrant and multiply by 4.

Area of a Surface of Revolution You can use the formula for the area of a surface of revolution in rectangular form to develop a formula for surface area in parametric form. THEOREM 10.9 AREA OF A SURFACE OF REVOLUTION If a smooth curve C given by x  f t and y  gt does not cross itself on an interval a t b, then the area S of the surface of revolution formed by revolving C about the coordinate axes is given by the following.

So far, you have been representing graphs as collections of points x, y on the rectangular coordinate system. The corresponding equations for these graphs have been in either rectangular or parametric form. In this section you will study a coordinate system called the polar coordinate system. To form the polar coordinate system in the plane, fix a point O, called the pole (or origin), and construct from O an initial ray called the polar axis, as shown in Figure 10.36. Then each point P in the plane can be assigned polar coordinates r, , as follows. r  directed distance from O to P   directed angle, counterclockwise from polar axis to segment OP

With rectangular coordinates, each point x, y has a unique representation. This is not true with polar coordinates. For instance, the coordinates r,  and r, 2   represent the same point [see parts (b) and (c) in Figure 10.37]. Also, because r is a directed distance, the coordinates r,  and r,    represent the same point. In general, the point r,  can be written as

Theorem 10.12 is useful because it states that the zeros of r  f  can be used to find the tangent lines at the pole. Note that because a polar curve can cross the pole more than once, it can have more than one tangent line at the pole. For example, the rose curve f   2 cos 3 has three tangent lines at the pole, as shown in Figure 10.48. For this curve, f   2 cos 3 is 0 when  is  6,  2, and 5 6.

Area of a Polar Region The development of a formula for the area of a polar region parallels that for the area of a region on the rectangular coordinate system, but uses sectors of a circle instead of rectangles as the basic elements of area. In Figure 10.49, note that the area of a circular sector of radius r is given by 12 r 2, provided  is measured in radians. Consider the function given by r  f , where f is continuous and nonnegative on the interval given by  ≤  ≤ .

and

as shown in Figure 10.53.

First equation Substitute r  1 from 2nd equation into 1st equation. Simplify. Solve for .

The corresponding points of intersection are 1,  2 and 1, 3 2. However, from Figure 10.53 you can see that there is a third point of intersection that did not show up when the two polar equations were solved simultaneously. (This is one reason why you should sketch a graph when finding the area of a polar region.) The reason the third point was not found is that it does not occur with the same coordinates in the two graphs. On the graph of r  1, the point occurs with coordinates 1, , but on the graph of r  1  2 cos , the point occurs with coordinates 1, 0. You can compare the problem of finding points of intersection of two polar graphs with that of finding collision points of two satellites in intersecting orbits about Earth, as shown in Figure 10.54. The satellites will not collide as long as they reach the points of intersection at different times (-values). Collisions will occur only at the points of intersection that are “simultaneous points”—those reached at the same time (-value).

Solution Because both curves are symmetric with respect to the x-axis, you can work with the upper half-plane, as shown in Figure 10.55. The gray shaded region lies between the circle and the radial line   2 3. Because the circle has coordinates 0,  2 at the pole, you can integrate between  2 and 2 3 to obtain the area of this region. The region that is shaded red is bounded by the radial lines   2 3 and    and the cardioid. So, you can find the area of this second region by integrating between 2 3 and .

In this chapter you have seen that the rectangular equations of ellipses and hyperbolas take simple forms when the origin lies at their centers. As it happens, there are many important applications of conics in which it is more convenient to use one of the foci as the reference point (the origin) for the coordinate system. For example, the sun lies at a focus of Earth’s orbit. Similarly, the light source of a parabolic reflector lies at its focus. In this section you will see that polar equations of conics take simple forms if one of the foci lies at the pole. The following theorem uses the concept of eccentricity, as defined in Section 10.1, to classify the three basic types of conics. A proof of this theorem is given in Appendix A. THEOREM 10.16 CLASSIFICATION OF CONICS BY ECCENTRICITY

As long as a  0, the graph should be a conic. What values of a and b produce parabolas? What values produce ellipses? What values produce hyperbolas?

Let F be a fixed point ( focus) and let D be a fixed line (directrix) in the plane. Let P be another point in the plane and let e (eccentricity) be the ratio of the distance between P and F to the distance between P and D. The collection of all points P with a given eccentricity is a conic. 1. The conic is an ellipse if 0 < e < 1. 2. The conic is a parabola if e  1. 3. The conic is a hyperbola if e > 1.

Polar Equations of Conics and Kepler’s Laws

Kepler’s Laws Mary Evans Picture Library/The Image Works

Kepler’s Laws, named after the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, can be used to describe the orbits of the planets about the sun. 1. Each planet moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun as a focus. 2. A ray from the sun to the planet sweeps out equal areas of the ellipse in equal times. 3. The square of the period is proportional to the cube of the mean distance between the planet and the sun.*

JOHANNES KEPLER (1571–1630) Kepler formulated his three laws from the extensive data recorded by Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, and from direct observation of the orbit of Mars.

Sun

Although Kepler derived these laws empirically, they were later validated by Newton. In fact, Newton was able to show that each law can be deduced from a set of universal laws of motion and gravitation that govern the movement of all heavenly bodies, including comets and satellites. This is shown in the next example, involving the comet named after the English mathematician and physicist Edmund Halley (1656–1742).

EXAMPLE 3 Halley’s Comet Halley’s comet has an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus and has an eccentricity of e  0.967. The length of the major axis of the orbit is approximately 35.88 astronomical units (AU). (An astronomical unit is defined as the mean distance between Earth and the sun, 93 million miles.) Find a polar equation for the orbit. How close does Halley’s comet come to the sun?

Halley's comet

Because the vertices of the ellipse occur when    2 and   3 2, you can determine the length of the major axis to be the sum of the r-values of the vertices, as shown in Figure 10.63. That is, 0.967d 0.967d  1  0.967 1  0.967 35.88  29.79d. 2a

So, d  1.204 and ed  0.9671.204  1.164. Using this value in the equation produces r

1.164 1  0.967 sin 

where r is measured in astronomical units. To find the closest point to the sun (the focus), you can write c  ea  0.96717.94  17.35. Because c is the distance between the focus and the center, the closest point is 3π 2

Figure 10.63

* If Earth is used as a reference with a period of 1 year and a distance of 1 astronomical unit, the proportionality constant is 1. For example, because Mars has a mean distance to the sun of D  1.524 AU, its period P is given by D3  P 2. So, the period for Mars is P  1.88.

Kepler’s Second Law states that as a planet moves about the sun, a ray from the sun to the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times. This law can also be applied to comets or asteroids with elliptical orbits. For example, Figure 10.64 shows the orbit of the asteroid Apollo about the sun. Applying Kepler’s Second Law to this asteroid, you know that the closer it is to the sun, the greater its velocity, because a short ray must be moving quickly to sweep out as much area as a long ray.

THEOREM 3.16 CONTINUITY AND DIFFERENTIABILITY OF INVERSE FUNCTIONS (PAGE 175) Let f be a function whose domain is an interval I. If f has an inverse, then the following statements are true. 1. If f is continuous on its domain, then f 1 is continuous on its domain. 2. If f is differentiable on an interval containing c and fc  0, then f 1 is differentiable at f c.

PROOF To prove Property 1, you first need to define what is meant by a strictly increasing function or a strictly decreasing function. A function f is strictly increasing on an entire interval I if for any two numbers x1 and x2 in the interval, x1 < x2 implies f x1 < f x2 . The function f is strictly decreasing on the entire interval I if x1 < x2 implies f x1 > f x2 . The function f is strictly monotonic on the interval I if it is either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing. Now show that if f is continuous on I, and has an inverse, then f is strictly monotonic on I. Suppose that f were not strictly monotonic. Then there would exist numbers x1, x2, x3 in I such that x1 < x 2 < x3, but f x2 is not between f x1 and f x3. Without loss of generality, assume f x1 < f x3 < f x2. By the Intermediate Value Theorem, there exists a number x0 between x1 and x2 such that f x0  f x3. So, f is not one-to-one and cannot have an inverse. So, f must be strictly monotonic. Because f is continuous, the Intermediate Value Theorem implies that the set of values of f,  f x: x  $ , forms an interval J. Assume that a is an interior point of J. From the previous argument, f 1a is an interior point of I. Let > 0. There exists 0 < 1 < such that

Apago PDF Enhancer I1   f 1a  1, f 1a  1  I.

Because f is strictly monotonic on I1, the set of values  f x: x  I1 forms an interval J1  J. Let  > 0 such that a  , a    J1. Finally, if y  a < , then f 1 y  f 1a < 1 < . So, f 1 is continuous at a. A similar proof can be given if a is an endpoint.









To prove Property 2, consider the limit

 f 1a  lim

y→a

f 1y  f 1a ya

where a is in the domain of f 1 and f 1a  c. Because f is differentiable on an interval containing c, f is continuous on that interval, and so is f 1 at a. So, y → a implies that x → c, and you have

 f 1a  lim

x→c

xc 1 1 1  lim   . x→c f x  f c f x  f c f x  f c f c lim x→c xc xc





So,  f 1a exists, and f 1 is differentiable at f c. THEOREM 3.17 THE DERIVATIVE OF AN INVERSE FUNCTION (PAGE 175) Let f be a function that is differentiable on an interval I. If f has an inverse function g, then g is differentiable at any x for which f gx  0. Moreover, gx

CONCAVITY INTERPRETATION (PAGE 230) 1. Let f be differentiable on an open interval I. If the graph of f is concave upward on I, then the graph of f lies above all of its tangent lines on I. 2. Let f be differentiable on an open interval I. If the graph of f is concave downward on I, then the graph of f lies below all of its tangent lines on I.

PROOF Assume that f is concave upward on I  a, b. Then, f is increasing on a, b. Let c be a point in the interval I  a, b. The equation of the tangent line to the graph of f at c is given by

gx  f c  fcx  c. If x is in the open interval c, b, then the directed distance from point x, f x (on the graph of f ) to the point x, gx (on the tangent line) is given by

Apago d  f x PDF  f c  fEnhancer cx  c  f x  f c  fcx  c.

Moreover, by the Mean Value Theorem there exists a number z in c, x such that fz 

f x  f c . xc

So, you have d  f x  f c  fcx  c  fzx  c  fcx  c   fz  fcx  c. The second factor x  c is positive because c < x. Moreover, because f is increasing, it follows that the first factor  fz  fc is also positive. Therefore, d > 0 and you can conclude that the graph of f lies above the tangent line at x. If x is in the open interval a, c, a similar argument can be given. This proves the first statement. The proof of the second statement is similar. ■ THEOREM 4.7 TEST FOR CONCAVITY (PAGE 231) Let f be a function whose second derivative exists on an open interval I. 1. If f x > 0 for all x in I, then the graph of f is concave upward on I. 2. If f x < 0 for all x in I, then the graph of f is concave downward on I.

PROOF For Property 1, assume f x > 0 for all x in a, b. Then, by Theorem 4.5, f is increasing on a, b. Thus, by the definition of concavity, the graph of f is concave upward on a, b.

For Property 2, assume f x < 0 for all x in a, b. Then, by Theorem 4.5, f is decreasing on a, b. Thus, by the definition of concavity, the graph of f is concave downward on a, b. ■ THEOREM 4.10 LIMITS AT INFINITY (PAGE 239) If r is a positive rational number and c is any real number, then lim

THEOREM 9.20 CONVERGENCE OF A POWER SERIES (PAGE 662) For a power series centered at c, precisely one of the following is true. 1. The series converges only at c. 2. There exists a real number R > 0 such that the series converges absolutely for x  c < R, and diverges for x  c > R. 3. The series converges absolutely for all x.









The number R is the radius of convergence of the power series. If the series converges only at c, the radius of convergence is R  0, and if the series converges for all x, the radius of convergence is R  . The set of all values of x for which the power series converges is the interval of convergence of the power series. In order to simplify the notation, the theorem for the power series  an x n centered at x  0 will be proved. The proof for a power series centered at x  c follows easily. A key step in this proof uses the completeness property of the set of real numbers: If a nonempty set S of real numbers has an upper bound, then it must have a least upper bound (see page 603). PROOF

It must be shown that if a power series  an x n converges at x  d, d  0, then it converges for all b satisfying b < d . Because  an x n converges, lim an d n  0.

 

x→ 

So, there exists N > 0 such that an d n < 1 for all n  N. Then for n  N,

So, for b < d ,



 bn dn

b < 1, which implies that d

is a convergent geometric series. By the Comparison Test, the series  an b n converges. Similarly, if the power series  an x n diverges at x  b, where b  0, then it diverges for all d satisfying d > b . If  an d n converged, then the argument above would imply that  an b n converged as well.

 

Finally, to prove the theorem, suppose that neither case 1 nor case 3 is true. Then there exist points b and d such that  an x n converges at b and diverges at d. Let S  x:  an x n converges. S is nonempty because b  S. If x  S, then x d , which shows that d is an upper bound for the nonempty set S. By the completeness property, S has a least upper bound, R.

 





  



Now, if x > R, then xⰻS, so  an x n diverges. And if x < R, then x is not an upper bound for S, so there exists b in S satisfying b > x . Since b  S,  an b n converges, which implies that  an x n converges. ■

THEOREM 10.16 CLASSIFICATION OF CONICS BY ECCENTRICITY (PAGE 750) Let F be a fixed point ( focus) and let D be a fixed line (directrix) in the plane. Let P be another point in the plane and let e (eccentricity) be the ratio of the distance between P and F to the distance between P and D. The collection of all points P with a given eccentricity is a conic. 1. The conic is an ellipse if 0 < e < 1. 2. The conic is a parabola if e  1. 3. The conic is a hyperbola if e > 1.

PROOF If e  1, then, by definition, the conic must be a parabola. If e  1, then you can consider the focus F to lie at the origin and the directrix x  d to lie to the right of the origin, as shown in Figure A.1. For the point P  r,   x, y, you have PF  r and PQ  d  r cos . Given that e  PF PQ , it follows that

By the continuity of fx and fy and the fact that x x1 x  x and y y1 y  y, it follows that 1 → 0 and 2 → 0 as x → 0 and y → 0. Therefore, by definition, f is differentiable. ■ THEOREM 13.6 CHAIN RULE: ONE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE (PAGE 925) Let w  f x, y, where f is a differentiable function of x and y. If x  gt and y  h t, where g and h are differentiable functions of t, then w is a differentiable function of t, and d w %w dx %w dy   . dt %x dt %y dt

PROOF Because g and h are differentiable functions of t, you know that both x and y approach zero as t approaches zero. Moreover, because f is a differentiable function of x and y, you know that

Real Numbers and the Real Number Line Real numbers can be represented by a coordinate system called the real number line or x-axis (see Figure C.1). The real number corresponding to a point on the real number line is the coordinate of the point. As Figure C.1 shows, it is customary to identify those points whose coordinates are integers. x −4 −3 −2 −1

The point on the real number line corresponding to zero is the origin and is denoted by 0. The positive direction (to the right) is denoted by an arrowhead and is the direction of increasing values of x. Numbers to the right of the origin are positive. Numbers to the left of the origin are negative. The term nonnegative describes a number that is either positive or zero. The term nonpositive describes a number that is either negative or zero. Each point on the real number line corresponds to one and only one real number, and each real number corresponds to one and only one point on the real number line. This type of relationship is called a one-to-one correspondence. Each of the four points in Figure C.2 corresponds to a rational number—one 9 13 that can be written as the ratio of two integers. Note that 4.5  2 and 2.6   5 . 2 Rational numbers can be represented either by terminating decimals such as 5  0.4, or by repeating decimals such as 13  0.333 . . .  0.3. Real numbers that are not rational are irrational. Irrational numbers cannot be represented as terminating or repeating decimals. In computations, irrational numbers are represented by decimal approximations. Here are three familiar examples. 2  1.414213562

Order and Inequalities One important property of real numbers is that they are ordered. If a and b are real numbers, a is less than b if b  a is positive. This order is denoted by the inequality a < b. b

a −1

x 0

a < b if and only if a lies to the left of b. Figure C.4

This relationship can also be described by saying that b is greater than a and writing b > a. When three real numbers a, b, and c are ordered such that a < b and b < c, you say that b is between a and c and a < b < c. Geometrically, a < b if and only if a lies to the left of b on the real number line (see Figure C.4). For example, 1 < 2 because 1 lies to the left of 2 on the real number line. The following properties are used in working with inequalities. Similar properties are obtained if < is replaced by and > is replaced by . (The symbols and  mean less than or equal to and greater than or equal to, respectively.) PROPERTIES OF INEQUALITIES Let a, b, c, d, and k be real numbers. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Transitive Property Add inequalities. Add a constant. Multiply by a positive constant. Multiply by a negative constant.

Apago PDF Enhancer

NOTE Note that you reverse the inequality when you multiply the inequality by a negative number. For example, if x < 3, then 4x > 12. This also applies to division by a negative number. So, if 2x > 4, then x < 2. ■

A set is a collection of elements. Two common sets are the set of real numbers and the set of points on the real number line. Many problems in calculus involve subsets of one of these two sets. In such cases, it is convenient to use set notation of the form {x: condition on x}, which is read as follows. The set of all x such that a certain condition is true.

{

:

condition on x}

For example, you can describe the set of positive real numbers as

x: x > 0.

Set of positive real numbers

Similarly, you can describe the set of nonnegative real numbers as

x: x  0.

Set of nonnegative real numbers

The union of two sets A and B, denoted by A  B, is the set of elements that are members of A or B or both. The intersection of two sets A and B, denoted by A  B, is the set of elements that are members of A and B. Two sets are disjoint if they have no elements in common.

A26

Appendix C

Precalculus Review

The most commonly used subsets are intervals on the real number line. For example, the open interval

a, b  x: a < x < b

Open interval

is the set of all real numbers greater than a and less than b, where a and b are the endpoints of the interval. Note that the endpoints are not included in an open interval. Intervals that include their endpoints are closed and are denoted by

a, b  x: a x b.

Closed interval

The nine basic types of intervals on the real number line are shown in the table below. The first four are bounded intervals and the remaining five are unbounded intervals. Unbounded intervals are also classified as open or closed. The intervals  , b and a,  are open, the intervals  , b and a,  are closed, and the interval  ,  is considered to be both open and closed.

The Cartesian Plane ■ Understand the Cartesian plane. ■ Use the Distance Formula to find the distance between two points and use the

Midpoint Formula to find the midpoint of a line segment. ■ Find equations of circles and sketch the graphs of circles.

The Cartesian Plane Just as you can represent real numbers by points on a real number line, you can represent ordered pairs of real numbers by points in a plane called the rectangular coordinate system, or the Cartesian plane, after the French mathematician René Descartes. The Cartesian plane is formed by using two real number lines intersecting at right angles, as shown in Figure C.14. The horizontal real number line is usually called the x-axis, and the vertical real number line is usually called the y-axis. The point of intersection of these two axes is the origin. The two axes divide the plane into four parts called quadrants. y

Points represented by orderd pairs

Figure C.14

Figure C.15

Each point in the plane is identified by an ordered pair x, y of real numbers x and y, called the coordinates of the point. The number x represents the directed distance from the y-axis to the point, and the number y represents the directed distance from the x-axis to the point (see Figure C.14). For the point x, y, the first coordinate is the x-coordinate or abscissa, and the second coordinate is the y-coordinate or ordinate. For example, Figure C.15 shows the locations of the points 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 0, 3, 0, and 2, 3 in the Cartesian plane. NOTE The signs of the coordinates of a point determine the quadrant in which the point lies. For instance, if x > 0 and y < 0, then the point x, y lies in Quadrant IV. ■

Note that an ordered pair a, b is used to denote either a point in the plane or an open interval on the real number line. This, however, should not be confusing—the nature of the problem should clarify whether a point in the plane or an open interval is being discussed.

Suppose you want to determine the distance d between the two points x1, y1  and x2, y2  in the plane. If the points lie on a horizontal line, then y1  y2 and the distance between the points is x2  x1. If the points lie on a vertical line, then x1  x2 and the distance between the points is y2  y1. If the two points do not lie on a horizontal or vertical line, they can be used to form a right triangle, as shown in Figure C.17. The length of the vertical side of the triangle is y2  y1, and the length of the horizontal side is x2  x1. By the Pythagorean Theorem, it follows that

Equations of Circles

y

A circle can be defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point. The fixed point is the center of the circle, and the distance between the center and a point on the circle is the radius (see Figure C.21). You can use the Distance Formula to write an equation for the circle with center h, k and radius r. Let x, y be any point on the circle. Then the distance between x, y and the center h, k is given by

Center: (h, k)

Radius: r

x  h2   y  k2  r. Point on circle: (x, y) x

Definition of a circle

By squaring each side of this equation, you obtain the standard form of the equation of a circle. STANDARD FORM OF THE EQUATION OF A CIRCLE

The point x, y lies on the circle of radius r and center h, k if and only if

Because these concepts are in common use today, it is easy to overlook their revolutionary nature. At the time analytic geometry was being developed by Pierre de Fermat and René Descartes, the two major branches of mathematics—geometry and algebra—were largely independent of each other. Circles belonged to geometry and equations belonged to algebra. The coordination of the points on a circle and the solutions of an equation belongs to what is now called analytic geometry. It is important to become skilled in analytic geometry so that you can move easily between geometry and algebra. For instance, in Example 4, you were given a geometric description of a circle and were asked to find an algebraic equation for the circle. So, you were moving from geometry to algebra. Similarly, in Example 5 you were given an algebraic equation and asked to sketch a geometric picture. In this case, you were moving from algebra to geometry. These two examples illustrate the two most common problems in analytic geometry.

Standard position of an angle Figure C.24

An angle has three parts: an initial ray, a terminal ray, and a vertex (the point of intersection of the two rays), as shown in Figure C.24. An angle is in standard position if its initial ray coincides with the positive x-axis and its vertex is at the origin. It is assumed that you are familiar with the degree measure of an angle.* It is common practice to use  (the Greek lowercase theta) to represent both an angle and its measure. Angles between 0 and 90 are acute, and angles between 90 and 180 are obtuse. Positive angles are measured counterclockwise, and negative angles are measured clockwise. For instance, Figure C.25 shows an angle whose measure is 45. You cannot assign a measure to an angle by simply knowing where its initial and terminal rays are located. To measure an angle, you must also know how the terminal ray was revolved. For example, Figure C.25 shows that the angle measuring 45 has the same terminal ray as the angle measuring 315. Such angles are coterminal. In general, if  is any angle, then

  n360, n is a nonzero integer

Apago PDF Enhancer is coterminal with . An angle that is larger than 360 is one whose terminal ray has been revolved more than one full revolution counterclockwise, as shown in Figure C.26. You can form an angle whose measure is less than 360 by revolving a terminal ray more than one full revolution clockwise.

Radian Measure To assign a radian measure to an angle , consider  to be a central angle of a circle of radius 1, as shown in Figure C.27. The radian measure of  is then defined to be the length of the arc of the sector. Because the circumference of a circle is 2r, the circumference of a unit circle (of radius 1) is 2. This implies that the radian measure of an angle measuring 360 is 2. In other words, 360  2 radians. Using radian measure for , the length s of a circular arc of radius r is s  r, as shown in Figure C.28. Arc length is s = rθ . The arc length of the sector is the radian measure of θ .

There are two common approaches to the study of trigonometry. In one, the trigonometric functions are defined as ratios of two sides of a right triangle. In the other, these functions are defined in terms of a point on the terminal side of an angle in standard position. The six trigonometric functions, sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant (abbreviated as sin, cos, etc.), are defined below from both viewpoints.

Evaluating Trigonometric Functions There are two ways to evaluate trigonometric functions: (1) decimal approximations with a calculator and (2) exact evaluations using trigonometric identities and formulas from geometry. When using a calculator to evaluate a trigonometric function, remember to set the calculator to the appropriate mode—degree mode or radian mode.

 Evaluate the sine, cosine, and tangent of . 3 Solution Begin by drawing the angle    3 in standard position, as shown in Figure C.32. Then, because 60   3 radians, you can draw an equilateral triangle with sides of length 1 and  as one of its angles. Because the altitude of this triangle bisects its base, you know that x  12.

Approximate critical numbers: 12, 0.97, 32, 1.98, 52, 2.98, 72 The critical numbers where maxima occur appear to be integers in part (a), but by approximating them using f, you see that they are not integers. Answers will vary. Sample answer: y  1 x  3 Answers will vary. Sample answer: y  3x 2  7x  5 x  3 (a) fx  0 for x  ± 2; fx > 0 for  , 2, 2,  fx < 0 for 2, 2 (b) f x  0 for x  0; f x > 0 for 0,  f x < 0 for  , 0 (c) 0,  (d) f is minimum for x  0. f is decreasing at the greatest rate at x  0. Answers will vary. Sample answer: The graph has a vertical asymptote at x  b. If a and b are both positive, or both negative, then the graph of f approaches  as x approaches b, and the graph has a minimum at x  b. If a and b have opposite signs, then the graph of f approaches   as x approaches b, and the graph has a maximum at x  b. (a) If n is even, f is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. If n is odd, f is symmetric with respect to the origin. (b) n  0, 1, 2, 3 (c) n  4 (d) When n  5, the slant asymptote is y  2x.

(b) g is nonnegative because the graph of f is positive at the beginning, and generally has more positive sections than negative ones.

(c) The points on g that correspond to the extrema of f are points of inflection of g. (d) No, some zeros of f, such as x   2, do not correspond to extrema of g. The graph of g continues to increase after x   2 because f remains above the x-axis. (e) 4

The graph of the approximating polynomial P and the elementary function f both pass through the point c, f c, and the slope of the graph of P is the same as the slope of the graph of f at the point c, f c. If P is of degree n, then the first n derivatives of f and P agree at c. This allows for the graph of P to resemble the graph of f near the point c, f c. 63.

101. The rectangular coordinate system is a collection of points of the form (x, y, where x is the directed distance from the y-axis to the point and y is the directed distance from the x-axis to the point. Every point has a unique representation. The polar coordinate system is a collection of points of the form r, , where r is the directed distance from the origin O to a point P and  is the directed angle, measured counterclockwise, from the polar axis to the segment OP. Polar coordinates do not have unique representations. 103. Slope of tangent line to graph of r  f  at r,  is f cos   fsin  dy .  dx f sin   f)cos

ALGEBRA Factors and Zeros of Polynomials Let px  an x n  an1x n1  . . .  a1x  a0 be a polynomial. If pa  0, then a is a zero of the polynomial and a solution of the equation px  0. Furthermore, x  a is a factor of the polynomial.

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra An nth degree polynomial has n (not necessarily distinct) zeros. Although all of these zeros may be imaginary, a real polynomial of odd degree must have at least one real zero.
