T1=Test 1 (sections): 1.7, 4.5, 5.6, G,, 5.7, 5.10

For each equation, solve the problem in your private wiki and generate a variation using the Prob. provided.

Parametric equation Sec 1.7 p72

Prob.

Write this parametric equation in the form y=f(x), and sketch the graph:

$x=\sin t$ and $y=\cos ^{2}t$

Limits Sec 4.5 p290

Prob.

Evaluate the limit:

$\lim _{x\rightarrow 0}{\frac {1-\cos(2x)}{x^{2}}}$

Prob.

Evaluate the limit: (see page 297 problem 47)

${\mathcal {L}}=\lim _{x\rightarrow \infty }\left(1+{\frac {1}{e^{x}}}\right)^{e^{x}}$

solution

Let $y=e^{x}$ ${\mathcal {L}}=\lim _{y\rightarrow \infty }\left(1+{\frac {1}{y}}\right)^{y}$ $\ln {\mathcal {L}}=\lim _{y\rightarrow \infty }y\cdot \ln \left(1/y+1\right)=\lim _{y\rightarrow \infty }{\frac {\ln \left(1/y+1\right)}{1/y}}=^{H}\lim _{z\rightarrow 0}{\frac {\ln(1+z)}{z}}=\lim _{z\rightarrow 0}{\frac {\frac {1}{1+z}}{1}}=1$ This is correct, but we need ${\mathcal {L}}=e^{\ln({\mathcal {L}})}=e^{1}=e$

• Because a reasonable person might forget to take antilog in the last step, the tests will not be multiple choice, but instead graded for partial credit.

Similar problem:

$\lim _{\rightarrow 0^{+}}\left(1+\sin 4x\right)^{\cot x}$ See Example 8 Sec 4.5

Integration by parts Sec 5.6 p283

Prob.

Evaluate

$\int _{0}^{\pi /2}e^{x}\sin xdx$

sample alternative: :$\int _{0}^{\pi /3}e^{x}\cos xdx$ this was hard. we do integration by parts and solve 2 equations in two unknowns.

Prob.

Evaluate

$\int _{0}^{1}\arccos xdx$

hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htTerwAGeLY

hint
This one does $\int \arcsin x\;dx$: $u=\arcsin x{\text{ and }}dv=dx$ $\Rightarrow du={\frac {1}{\sqrt {1-x^{2}}}}\;dx$. Now let ${\tilde {u}}=1-x^{2}$ I think $\int \arcsin xdx=x\arcsin x+{\sqrt {1-x^{2}}}+c$ Also, the derivative of the arcsin should be obtained using this trick: $x=\sin u\rightarrow dx=\cos u\;du={\sqrt {1-\sin ^{2}u}}\;du={\sqrt {1-x^{2}}}\;du$

Prob.

$\int _{0}^{\pi /4}\cos ^{3}xdx$

hint- see also p.389 in textbook
$\cos ^{3}x=(\cos x)^{3}=\cos x\left(\cos ^{2}x\right)=\cos x\left(1-\sin ^{2}x\right)$ $=\cos x-\cos x\sin ^{2}x$ Do the second term with the substitution: $u=\sin(x)\Rightarrow du=\cos(x)$ This should lead to: ∫ [cos(x) - cos(x)*sin(x)^2] dx = sin(x) - (1/3)sin(x)^3 + c

Partial Fractions Sec 5.7 p398

Probs.

• Section 5.7 (pp. 389-392): Examples 1, 2, and 4. You need not memorize the half-angle formulas.

Improper Integrals Sec 5.10 p413

Probs.

• I think I did examples 2 and 4 pp416-417
• Example 3 involves the arctan, which is the integral of 1/(1+x²), which I consider a low priority integral to memorize. Good project, if you show why.

Probs

• Time permitting, we will look at a "type 2" case: Example 9 is fun, because it uses the Comparison Theorem. But you need to be certain that you understand this theorem.
