2023 – 2024 Spring Semester MATH 2301 Calculus I Sections 100, 110, 120

    Campus: Ohio University, Athens Campus

    Department: Mathematics

    Course Description: First course in calculus and analytic geometry with applications in the sciences and engineering. Includes basic techniques of differentiation and integration with applications including rates of change, optimization problems, and curve sketching; includes exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions. Calculus is the mathematical language used to describe and analyze change. The course emphasizes how this abstract language and its associated techniques provide a unified way of approaching problems originating in disparate areas of science, technology, and society, highlighting how questions arising in different fields are connected to the same fundamental mathematical ideas. No credit for both MATH 2301 and 1350 (always keep 2301).

    Prerequisites: (B or better in MATH 1350) or (C or better in 1300 or 1322) or (Math placement level 3)

    Special Needs: If you have specific physical, psychiatric, or learning disabilities and require accommodations, please let Mark Barsamian know as soon as possible so that your learning needs may be appropriately met. You should also register with the Office of Student Accessibility Services to obtain written documentation and to learn about the resources they have available.

    Final Exam Date: All Athens Campus Sections of MATH 2301 have a Common Final Exam on Thu May 2, 2024, from 4:40pm – 6:40pm in various Morton Hall rooms. (Room assignments will be made later.)

    Attendance Policy:

    Attendance is required for all class meetings, and your attendance (or absence) will be recorded, but attendance is not used in the calculation of your course grade.

    Missing Class: If you miss a class for any reason, it is your responsibility to learn the stuff that you missed. You can do this by studying a classmate's notes, or reading the Lecture notes that Mark Barsamian posts online, and by reading the textbook. Your Instructors will not use office hours to teach topics discussed in class meetings to students who were absent.

    Missing a Quiz or Exam Because of Illness: If you are too sick to take a quiz or exam, then you must do these three things:

    1. Send your Professor (Ntiamoah or Barsamian) an e-mail before the quiz/exam, telling him that you are going to miss it because of illness. He will arrange for a date and time for a Make-Up quiz/exam. (Generally, the Make-up for a Friday quiz/exam needs to take place on the following Monday or Tuesday. Therefore, it is important to communicate with him right away.)
    2. Go to the Hudson Student Health Center (or some other Medical Professional) to get examined.
    3. Later, you will need to bring your Professor your documentation from the Hudson Student Health Center (or a Medical Professional) showing that you were treated there.
    Without those three things, you will not be given a make-up. (When you miss a Quiz or Exam and are not given a Make-Up, the missed Quiz or Exam will be considered your one Quiz or Exam score that gets dropped.)

    (Observe that self-diagnosis of an illness is not a valid documentation of an illness. In other words, you can't just tell your Professor that you did not come to a Quiz or Exam because you were not feeling well, and expect to get a Make-Up Quiz or Exam. If you are too sick to come to a Quiz or Exam, then you should be sick enough to go to a medical professional to get diagnosed and treated.)

    Missing Quizzes or Exams Because of University Activity: If you have a University Activity that conflicts with one of our quizzes or exams, you must contact your Professor well before the quiz or exam to discuss arrangements for a make-up. They will need to see documentation of your activity. If you miss a quiz or an exam because of a University Activity without notifying your Professor in advance, you will not be given a make-up.

    Missing Quizzes or Exams Because of Religious Observation: The Ohio University Faculty Handbook states the following:

    Students may be absent for up to three days each academic semester to take time off for reasons of faith or religious or spiritual belief system or participate in organized activities conducted under the auspices of a religious denomination, church, or other religious or spiritual organization. Faculty shall not impose an academic penalty because of a student being absent nor shall faculty question the sincerity of a student's religious or spiritual belief systems. Students are expected to notify faculty in writing of specific dates requested for alternative accommodations no later than fourteen days after the first day of instruction.

    For MATH 2301, this means that if you will be missing any Spring 2024 Quizzes or Exams for religious reasons, and if you want to have a Make-Up Quiz/Exam, you will need to notify your Professor no later than Tuesday, January 30, 2023 . You and your Professor will work out the dates/times of your Make-Up Quiz/Exam. (In general, if you are going to miss a Friday Quiz/Exam, your Professor will schedule you for a Make-Up on the following Monday or Tuesday.)

    Missing Presentations, Quizzes, or Exams Because of Personal Travel: This course meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and attendance is required. Your Personal Travel (to home for the weekend, or out of town for vacations, etc) should be scheduled to not conflict with those Monday/Wednesday/Friday meetings. If you miss a Recitation, Quiz, or Exam because of Personal Travel (not an Offical University Activity), you will not be given a make-up. (When you miss a Quiz or Exam and are not given a Make-Up, the missed Quiz or Exam will be considered your one Quiz or Exam score that gets dropped.)

    Electronic Communication Policy (For both Students and Instructors):

    Policy for Electronic communication between MATH 2301 Students and Instructors

    • Electronic communication between MATH 2301 Students and Instructors should be done using one of these two methods:
      • The Official Ohio University e-mail system . That is, communications should use email addresses ending in @ohio.edu . In other words, send your emails from your OU e-mail account, and address them to a recipient's OU e-mail address. (Students: If you use the Blackboard system to send an email to your Instructor, this is automatically taken care of.)
      • The Teams program . (Teams can be used for chat , voice calling , video calling , and video meetings . It is remarkably powerful.
    • Do not use a personal email address (such as a gmail address) when sending an email.
    • Students and Instructors should not communicate via text messages.
    • Students and Instructors: It is your reponsibility to check your OU e-mail every day. (Students: If you are communicating with your Instructor about a time-sensitive issue, such as trying to schedule a Make-Up Quiz or Exam after an illness, your e-mail replies need to be swift. It is not acceptable to let days pass before replying to an important e-mail message, with your excuse being that you had not checked your OU email. If you do this, you will lose the opportunity to have a Make-Up Quiz or Exam.)
    • It is a good practice to use a descriptive Subject line such as Regarding MATH 2301 Section XXX on your email messages. That way, the recipient will know to give the email message high priority.
    • It is also a good practice to use a greeting such as
      Hi Elon,
      on your email messages, and to identify yourself in your message. And use a closing such as
      Thanks,
      Jeff Bezos

    Policy on Cheating:

    If cheat on a quiz or exam, you will receive a zero on that quiz or exam and your Instructor will submit a report to the Office of Community Standards and Student Responsibility (CSSR).

    If you cheat on another quiz or exam, you will receive a grade of F in the course and your Instructor will again submit a report to the CSSR.

    Syllabus: This web page replaces the usual paper syllabus. If you need a paper syllabus (now or in the future), unhide the next four portions of hidden content (Textbook Information, Exercises, Grading, Calendar) and then print this web page.

    Textbook and WebAssign Information:

    click on the book to see a larger image click to enlarge

    Required Online Course Materials: Through a program called Inclusive Access , the University has negotiated with the publisher a special price for this course's Required Online Course Materials . On the first day of class, you will receive access to an an online system called WebAssign . The WebAssign system includes an eText version of the textbook and an online homework system . The cost of the Online Course Materials is a discounted Inclusive Access Price of $45 plus 7% Ohio sales tax, for a total of about $48.15. That cost will be automatically billed to your Ohio University Student Account. If you drop the course before the drop deadline (Fri, Jan 26), your student account will be credited for any amount billed. After you register, you will receive more information about the Inclusive Access program, including an option to "Opt Out" of participation in the program. To "Opt Out" means that your payment for the Online Course Materials is not handled by the Inclusive Access program. If you do that, you can still use the Online Course Materials, but in order to access them, you will be asked to make a credit card payment for the Retail Price of the materials. (Note that the Retail Price is $111 plus 7% ohio tax, for a total of about $118.77. That is significantly higher than the Inclusive Access Price.)

    Optional Print Copy of the Textbook: Many students (and instructors) prefer reading printed textbooks rather than eTexts. Students in Ohio University MATH 2301 Sections 100, 110, and 120 can purchase a print copy of the book at the College Bookstore (at the corner of Court Street and Union Street in Athens) for the discounted price of $46.75 + 7% Ohio sales tax, for a total of around $50.02. This is an extraordinarily low price for a print textbook, and you are strongly encouraged to buy the print copy. Note that your purchase of the print copy will be in addition to the Online Course Materials that you receive as part of the Inclusive Access program, described above. So if you do buy the print copy, your total expenditures will be $48.15 (for the Online Course Materials purchased through the Inclusive Access program) plus $50.02 (for the print copy of the textbook, purchased at the College Bookstore) for a total of $98.17. That is still an excellent price for course materials. The print copy is a loose-leaf book; its full description is:

    A Suggestion for Studying: Even though WebAssign does not require that you write stuff down, you will learn a lot by focusing on your writing. Furthermore, having good writing skills will really help when working on a written Quiz or Exam. Therefore, you should write down a complete solution to each problem before you type the answer into the answer box in WebAssign . Focus on the clarity and correctness of your written solution. Keep your written work organized in a notebook. Compare your written solutions to your Instructors' written solutions in Lectures and Recitations. Find another student, or a tutor, or the Recitation Instructor, or your Professor to look over your written work with you.

    Grading:

    Grading System for MATH 2301 Sections 100, 110, 120 (Ntiamoah & Barsamian) 2023 – 2024 Spring Semester

    During the course, you will accumulate a Points Total of up to 1030 possible points .

    • Recitation: 14 Tuesday Recitation Activities @ 5 points each = 70 points possible
    • Quizzes: Best 8 of 9 Quizzes @ 30 points each = 240 points possible
    • Exams: Best 2 of 3 Exams @ 220 points each = 440 points possible
    • Final Exam: 250 points possible
    • WebAssign: 30 Assignments @ 1 point each = 30 points possible (Extra Credit points)

    At the end of the semester, your Points Total will be divided by \(1000\) to get a percentage, and then converted into your Course Letter Grade using the 90%, 80%, 70%, 60% Grading Scale described below.

    Observe that the Total Possible Points is \(1030\), but your points total is divided by \(1000\) to get the percentage that is used in computing your course grade. This is because the \(30\) points that can be earned by doing WebAssign Homework are considered Extra Credit Points .

    The 90%, 80%, 70%, 60% Grading Scale is used on all graded items in this course, and is used in computing your Course Letter Grade .

    • A grade of A, A- means that you mastered all concepts, with no significant gaps.
      • If \(93\% \leq score \), then letter grade is A .
      • If \(90\% \leq score \lt 93\%\), then letter grade is A- .
    • A grade of B+, B, B- means that you mastered all essential concepts and many advanced concepts, but have some significant gap.
      • If \(87\% \leq score \lt 90\%\), then letter grade is B+ .
      • If \(83\% \leq score \lt 87\% \), then letter grade is B .
      • If \(80\% \leq score \lt 83\%\), then letter grade is B- .
    • A grade of C+, C, C- means that you mastered most essential concepts and some advanced concepts, but have many significant gaps.
      • If \(77\% \leq score \lt 80\%\), then letter grade is C+ .
      • If \(73\% \leq score \lt 77\%\), then letter grade is C .
      • If \(70\% \leq score \lt 73\%\), then letter grade is C- .
    • A grade of D+, D, D- means that you mastered some essential concepts.
      • If \(67\% \leq score \lt 70\%\), then letter grade is D+ .
      • If \(63\% \leq score \lt 67\% \), then letter grade is D .
      • If \(60\% \leq score \lt 63\%\), then letter grade is D- .
    • A grade of F means that you did not master essential concepts.
      • If \(0\% \leq score \lt 60\%\), then letter grade is F .

    There is no grade curving in this course.

    Two things that are not part of your Course Grade

    • Attendance: Attendance is recorded but is not part of your course grade
    • Written Solutions to Homework Exercises: There is a list of Homework Exercises on this web page. To succeed in the course, you will need to do lots of them (preferrably all of them), writing the solutions on paper. Those written solutions are not graded and are not part of your course grade. (Your scores on the online WebAssign homework will be part of your course grade.)

    Seven Problems to Be Done in Recitation R02 for MATH 2301 Sections 121, 122, 123, 124

    [1] Limit that is an Indeterminate Form and that requires no trick, just messy work

    (This problem is Exercise 1.4#17, similar to Book Section 1.4 Example 4.)

    $$\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{(-5+h)^2-25}{h}$$

    [2] Limit that Involves Rationalizing

    (This problem is Exercise 1.4#23, similar to Book Section 1.4 Example 5.)Find the limit

    $$\lim_{x\rightarrow 16}\frac{4-\sqrt{x}}{16x-x^2}$$

    Two Similar-looking Limits that May or May not Involve the Squeeze Theorem

    [3] (This problem is related to Exercise 1.4#35, but is simpler.) Show that $$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\left[x^2\cos{(20\pi x)}\right]=0$$ Hint: you do not need to use the Squeeze Theorem for this one!

    [4] (This problem is related to Exercise 1.4#35, but is harder and is similar to Book Section 1.4 Example 9) Use the Squeeze Theorem to show that $$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\left[x^2\cos{\left(\frac{20\pi}{x}\right)}\right]=0$$

    Limits that Use Famous Fact that $$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin{(x)}}{x}=1$$

    [5] (This problem is Exercise 1.4#41, similar to Book Section 1.4 Example 10) Find the limit

    $$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin{(3x)}}{x}$$

    [6] (This problem is Exercise 1.4#51, similar to Book Section 1.4 Example 10) Find the limit

    $$\lim_{t\rightarrow 0}\frac{\tan{(6t)}}{\sin{(2t)}}$$

    [7] Problem involving the Intermediate Value Theorem

    (This problem is Exercise 1.5#40, similar to 1.5#39) Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that there is a root of the equation $$\sqrt[3]{x}=1-x$$ on the interval \((0,1)\)

    Students Solving Problems and Discussing Their Solutions

    Groups of 2 students will work together to solve a problem. When they are done, they will write a solution to the problme on the whiteboard. The emphasis should be on writing a very clear solution, with key steps explained. Write large and clear! (If there is one student left without a partner, they may join a group of 2 students to make one group of 3 students.) Then Isaac will discuss all the solutions of that problem. Then you will all move on to the next problem.

    Part 1: Calculating Limits Involving Infinity (Section 1.6)

    The Power Rule If \(n\) is any real number, then $$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^n \right)=nx^{n-1}$$

    The Sum Constant Multiple Rule If \(a\) and \(b\) are constants and \(f\) and \(g\) are differentiable functions, then $$\frac{d}{dx}\left[af(x) +bg(x)\right]=a\frac{d}{dx}f(x)+b\frac{d}{dx}g(x)$$

    The Sine and Cosine Rules (Not discussed in class Monday, but simple enough.) $$\frac{d}{dx}\sin{(x)}=\cos{(x)}$$ $$\frac{d}{dx}\cos{(x)}=-\sin{(x)}$$

    [1] (2.2#23) For the function $$g(x)=\frac{1}{x}$$

    1. Find \(g'(x)\) using the Definition of the Derivative $$g'(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{x}$$ That is, build the limit and find its value. ( Do not use the Derivative Rules !!) Show all steps clearly and explain key steps.

    Review of Tangent Lines And Normal Lines

    Remember that the line tangent to the graph of \(f(x)\) at \(x=a\) is the line that has these two properties

    • The line touches the graph of \(f(x)\) at \(x=a\). So the line contains the point \((x,y)=(a,f(a))\), called the point of tangency
    • The line has slope \(m=f'(a)\)
    Therefore, the tangent line has line equation (in point slope form ) $$(y-f(a))=f'(a)\cdot(x-a)$$

    A new thing, the line normal to the graph of \(f(x)\) at \(x=a\) , is the line that has these two properties

    • The line touches the graph of \(f(x)\) at \(x=a\). So the line contains the point \((x,y)=(a,f(a))\)
    • The line is perpendicular to the line that is tangent to the graph at that point. That is,
      • If the tangent line has slope \(m_T\neq 0\), then the normal line has slope $$m_N=-\frac{1}{m_T}$$
      • If the tangent line has slope \(m_T = 0\), which indicates that the tangent is horizontal , then the normal line is vertical .
    I'll leave it to you to figure out the form of the equation of the normal line in those two cases.

    Steps in Logarithmic Differentiation

    1. Starting with an equation \(y=f(x)\). This will be an equation involving \(x\) and \(y\)
    2. Take natural logarithms of both sides of the equation \(y=f(x)\) to obtain a new equation of the form \(\ln(y)=\ln(f(x))\), and use the Laws of Logarithms to simplify the right side. The result will be an equation involving \(x\) and \(\ln(y)\)
    3. Find \(\frac{d}{dx}\) of both sides of the new equation, using the technique of implicit differentiation . The result will be a new equation involving \(x\) and \(y\) and \(y'\).
    4. Solve this new equation for \(y'\). The result will be an equation of the form $$y'= \ \text{expression involving } \ x \ \text{and} \ y$$
    5. Replace the \(y\) in this new expresison with the original exppression for \(y\) from step (1). The result will be an equation of the form $$y'= \ \text{expression involving } \ x$$

    Recitation Part 1: Class Drill about Identifying Extrema

    Students do this Class Drill about Identifying Extrema

    Recitation Part 2: Finding the Critical Numbers of Functions (Section 4.1)

    Remember the definition of Critical Number from the Monday March 18 Lecture. (The wording of Barsamian's definition differs from the wording of the book's definition, but the underlying meaning is the same.)

    Definition: A Critical Number of a function \(f(x)\) is an \(x=c\) that satisfies both of these requirements:

    • \(f'(c)=0\) or \(f'(c)\) does not exist .
    • \(f(c)\) exists. (That is, \(x=c\) is in the domain of \(f(x)\).)

    Find the critical numbers of each function.

    1. \(f(x)=x^4-6x^2+5\)
    2. \(f(x)=x\sqrt{4-x^2}\)
    3. \((x)=xe^{(-x^2/8)}\)
    4. \(f(x)=\ln(x^2+x+1)\)

    Recitation Part 3: Absolute Extrema on a Closed Interval. (Section 4.1)

    Remember the Closed Interval Method from the Monday March 18 Lecture.

    The Closed Interval Method

    Used for finding the absolute maximum value and absolute minimum value for a continuous function on a closed interval.

    Step 1: Confirm that the interval is closed and that the function is continuous.

    Step 2: Find the critical numbers of the function

    Step 3: Make a 2-column table.

    • In the left column, put a list of important \(x\) values in increasing order:
      • left endpoint
      • critical numbers in the interval
      • right endpoint.
    • In the right column, put the corresponding \(y\) values.

    Step 4: Identify the greatest and least \(y\) values in the list. These are the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value . Write a clear conclusion.

    Use the Closed Interval Method to solve the following problems:

    1. Find the absolute max value and absolute min value of \(f(x)=x^4-6x^2+5\) on the interval [-2,3].
    2. Find the absolute max value and absolute min value of \(f(x)=x\sqrt{4-x^2}\) on the interval [-1,2].
    3. Find the absolute max value and absolute min value of \((x)=xe^{(-x^2/8)}\) on the interval [-1,4].
    4. Find the absolute max value and absolute min value of \(f(x)=\ln(x^2+x+1)\) on the interval [-1,1].

    Mon Mar 25: Section 4.4: Curve Sketching( Handout on Graphing Strategy )

    Tue Mar 26: Recitation R10

    Recitation Part 1: The Mean Value Theorem (Section 4.2)

    The Mean Value Theorem: If a function \(f\) satisfies the following two requirements (the hypotheses )

    1. \(f\) is continuous on the closed interval \([a,b]\).
    2. \(f\) is differentiable on the open interval \((a,b)\).
    then the following statement (the conclusion ) is true:

    There is at least one number \(x=c\) with \(a \lt c \lt b\) such that $$f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$$ In other words, $$\text{slope of the tangent line at }c \ \text{ is equal to the slope of the secant line from }a\text{ to }b$$

    Remark: The theorem does not give you the value of \(c\). If \(c\) exists , you'll have to figure out its value.

    [1] Consider the function \(f(x)=\ln{(x)}\) on the interval \([1,4]\)

    1. Verify that the function and the interval satisfy the three hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem. Explain clearly.
    2. The next four questions are about finding the value of the constant \(c\).
      1. Find the formula for \(f'(x)\)

        2. Remark: The upcoming Question (b)(ii) is not about the ratio \(\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\). That ratio should not appear anywhere in your solution to Question (b)(ii) . Read the instructions for Question (b)(ii) carefully.

      2. Use your formula for \(f'(x)\) to build an expression for \(f'(c)\). The result should be an expression involving the letter \(c\), not the variable \(x\).
      3. Now compute the value of the number \(\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\).

        4. Remark: The number that you just found in part (a)(iii) is the number that should be the slope of the secant line and also the slope of the tangent line .

      4. Now, set the expression from Question (a)(ii) equal to the number from (a)(iii) and solve the resulting equation for \(c\).

        5. Remark: The resulting value of \(c\) that you just found in Question (a)(iv) is the \(x\) coordinate of the point of tangency for the tangent line. The number \(c\) is not the slope of the tangent line. You already found the number that is the slope in part (a)(iii) .

    3. The next three questions are about illustrating your results of Questions (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) .
      1. Make a hand-drawn a graph of the function \(f(x)=\ln{(x)}\) on the interval \([1,4]\). You can use Desmos to get the shape, if you want.
      2. Label the endpoints of the graph with their \((x,y)\) coordinates. Note that these coordinates are \((a,f(a))\) and \((b,f(b))\).
      3. Draw the secant line that touches the graph at the endpoints \((a,f(a))\) and \((b,f(b))\). Label this line with the slope \(m\) that you found in Question (a)(iii) .
      4. Find the point with \(x\) coordinate \(c\), where \(c\) is the number that you found in Question (a)(iv) , label the point with the coordinates \((c,f(c))\), and draw the tangent line at the point. Does your tangent line appear to have the same slope as your secant line?

    Recitation Part 2: Derivatives and the Shapes of Graphs (Section 4.3)

    Correspondence between sign behavior of \(f'(x)\) on an interval \( (a,b) \) and increasing/decreasing behavior of the graph of \( f(x) \) on the interval \( (a,b) \)

    • If \(f'(x)\) is positive on an interval \( (a,b) \) then \(f(x)\) is increasing on the interval \( (a,b) \).
    • If \(f'(x)\) is negative on an interval \( (a,b) \) then \(f(x)\) is decreasing on the interval \( (a,b) \).
    • If \(f'(x)\) is zero on a whole interval \( (a,b) \) then \(f(x)\) is constant on the interval \( (a,b) \).

    The First Derivative Test for Local Extrema

    • Test 1: \(f'(c)=0\) or \(f'(c) \ DNE\). (If the number \(c\) passes Test 1 , then \(c\) is called a partition number for \(f'(x)\).)
    • Test 2: \(f(c)\) exists. (If the number \(c\) passes both Test 1 and Test 2 , then \(c\) is called a critical number for \(f(x)\).)
    • Test 3: \(f(x)\) is continuous at \(c\).
    • Test 4: \(f'(x)\) changes sign at \(c\).(If the number \(c\) passes Tests 1,2,3,4 , then \(x=c\) is the location of a local max or local min of \(f(x)\). The corresponding \(y\) value, \(f(c)\), is called the local max value or local max value .)

    Correspondence between sign behavior of \(f''(x)\) on an interval \( (a,b) \) and concavity behavior of the graph of \( f(x) \) on the interval \( (a,b) \)

    • If \(f''(x)\) is positive on an interval \( (a,b) \) then \(f'(x)\) is increasing on the interval \( (a,b) \), which in turn means that \(f(x)\) is concave up on the interval \((a,b)\).
    • If \(f''(x)\) is negative on an interval \( (a,b) \) then \(f'(x)\) is decreasing on the interval \( (a,b) \), which in turn means that \(f(x)\) is concave cown on the interval \((a,b)\).

    Related terminology: An inflection point is a point on the graph of a function where the function is continuous and the concavity changes (from up to down or from down to up).

    [2] Consider the function \(f(x)=\sin{(x)}-\cos{(x)}\) and the interval \([-2,2]\).

    1. Find the intervals on which \(f\) is increasing or decreasing .
    2. Find the local maximum values and local minimum values of \(f\). Note that these are \(y\) values, not \(x\) values.
    3. Find the \((x,y)\) coordinates of all points on the graph of \(f\) where a local max or local min occurs. Notice that this question differs slightly from the previous question.
    4. Find the intervals on which \(f\) is concave up or concave down .
    5. Find the \((x,y)\) coordinates of all inflection points of \(f\).

    [5] (Suggested Exercise 4.5#39) Find an equation of the line through the point \((3,5)\) that cuts off the least area from the first quadrant. (You must use calculus and show all details clearly. No credit for just guessing values.)
    Hint for an outline of the solution:

    • Consider a line \(L\) that has axis intercepts at \((a,0)\) and \((0,b)\), where \(a,b\) are unknown positive real numbers. Sketch the line \(L\), and compute the area \(A\) that the line cuts off in the first quadrant. Your expression for area \(A\) should involve the two unknowns \(a,b\). With just this expression for \(A\), it would be impossible to minimize \(A\).
    • Now, satisfy the additional requirement that the line \(L\) must pass through the point \((3,5)\).
    • You now have two equations involving the constants \(a,b\). The first is an equation involving \(A,a,b\). The second is an equation just involving \(a,b\). Solve the second equation for \(b\) and use that result to eliminate \(b\) in the first equation. The result should be a single equation involving \(A,a\).

    Meeting Part 1: Antiderivatives Satisfying an Extra Condition (Section 4.7)

    [1] (Suggested Exercise 4.7 #15) Let $$f(x)=7x-3x^5$$

    1. Find the General Antiderivative , \(F(x)\).
    2. Find the Particular Antiderivative that satisfies \(F(1)=5\).

    [2] (not like a book exercise) Let $$f(t)=3e^t-4$$

    1. Find the General Antiderivative , \(F(t)\).
    2. Find the Particular Antiderivative that satisfies \(F(0)=8\).

    [3] (review of prerequisites) Draw the first quadrant of the unit circle , with important famous angles \(\theta=0,\pi/6,\pi/4,\pi/3,\pi/2 \) shown, along with the \((x,y)\) coordinates of the points where the rays of those angles intersect the circle. You need to know these angles and the values of the trig functions at these angles!

    [4] (4.7#27) Find \(f(t)\) such that $$f'(t)=10\cos t - \sec^2 t \ \text{ for } \ -\pi/2 \lt t \lt \pi/2 \ \text{ and that } \ f(\pi/3)=13$$

    [5] (4.7#20) Suppose that $$f''(x)=30x-\sin x$$ Find \(f(x)\).

    Meeting Part 2: Problems about Position , Velocity , and Acceleration (Section 4.7)

    Remember that for an object moving in one dimension, the velocity , \(v(t)\), is the derivative of the position , \(s(t)\). That is, $$s'(t) = v(t)$$

    Therefore, position , \(s(t)\), is an antiderivative of the velocity , \(v(t)\).

    Also remember that the acceleration , \(a(t)\), is the derivative of the velocity , \(v(t)\).

    Therefore, velocity , \(v(t)\), is an antiderivative of the acceleration , \(a(t)\).

    Furthermore, recall that when an object falls freely under the influence of gravity , it is known that the object will have constant acceleration with a value $$a=-32 \ \text{ft/s}^2$$ The negative sign may be confusing. The reason for the negative sign is that the positive position direction is up . Since gravity makes objects fall down , it is acclerating them in the negative position direction. Hence, the acceleration gets a negative sign.

    [6] (based on 4.7#40, similar to 4.7#47) Suppose that an object is moving in one dimension with velocity $$v(t)=9\sqrt{t} \ \text{ ft/s}$$

    1. Find the general form of the position function , \(s(t)\). That is, find the General Antiderivative of \(v(t)\), but instead of calling it \(V(t)\), call it \(s(t)\).
    2. Suppose that it is also known that the initial position is \(s(0)=13 \ \text{ft}\). Find the position function . That is, find the Particular Antiderivative that satisfies \(s(0)=13\).

    [7] (based on 4.7#43) Suppose that an stone is dropped off a tower that is 400 feet tall and falls freely. Let position be defined to be zero at ground level , and remember that the positive position direction is up .

    1. What is the value of the initial position of the stone, \(s(0)\)?
    2. What is the value of the initial velocity of the stone, \(v(0)\)?
    3. The acceleration of the stone is constant. What is the value of the the acceleration , \(a\)?
    4. Given that the velocity , \(v(t)\), is an antiderivative of the acceleration , find the general form of the velocity function , \(v(t)\). That is, find the General Antiderivative of \(a(t)\), but instead of calling it \(A(t)\), call it \(v(t)\).
    5. Knowing what you know about the initial velocity , \(v(0)\), find the particular form of the velocity function , \(v(t)\). That is, find the Particular Antiderivative of \(a(t)\) that satisfies $$v(0) = \text{ initial velocity that you identified earlier}$$
    6. Given that the position , \(s(t)\), is an antiderivative of the velocity , find the general form of the position function , \(s(t)\). That is, find the General Antiderivative of \(v(t)\), but instead of calling it \(V(t)\), call it \(s(t)\).
    7. Knowing what you know about the initial position , \(s(0)\), find the particular form of the position function , \(s(t)\). That is, find the Particular Antiderivative of \(v(t)\) that satisfies $$s(0) = \text{ initial position that you identified earlier}$$ The formula that you have found for the position function , \(s(t)\) gives the position of the stone above ground level at time \(t\).
    8. What is the time when the stone reaches ground level?
    9. What is the speed of the stone when it strike the ground?

    [8] (Suggested Exercise 3.7#1) Consider the following limit, which is in \(\frac{0}{0}\) indeterminate form : $$\lim_{x\rightarrow 1}\frac{x^2-1}{x^2-x}$$

    1. Find the limit using techniques from Chapter 1.
    2. Find the limit using l�Hospital�s Rule .

    [9] (Suggested Exercise 3.7#3) The following limit is in \(\frac{0}{0}\) indeterminate form . Find the limit using l�Hospital�s Rule $$\lim_{x\rightarrow \left(\pi/2\right)^+}\frac{\cos x}{1-\sin x}$$

    [10] (Suggested Exercise 3.7#25) The following limit is in \(\infty \cdot 0\) indeterminate form . Find the limit using l�Hospital�s Rule $$\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}x^3e^{-x^2}$$ Hint: Rewrite the product as a quotient, so that it will then be in \(\frac{0}{0}\) indeterminate form . Then use l�Hospital�s Rule .

    Mon Apr 15: Section 5.3: Evaluating Definite Integrals

    Tue Apr 16: Recitation R13

    Recitation Part 1: Basic Problems Using the Evaluation Theorem

    Recall The Evaluation Theorem (ET) as presented in the book and in lecture on Mon Apr 15, using the terminology of antiderivatives :

    (the relationship between definite integrals and antiderivatives )

    If \(f(x)\) is continuous on the interval \([a,b]\), then $$\int_a^bf(x)dx\underset{\text{ET}}{=}F(b)-F(a)$$ where \(F(x)\) is any antiderivative of \(f(x)\).

    [1]: (5.3#3)$$\int_{-2}^{0}\left(\frac{1}{2}t^4+\frac{1}{4}t^3-t\right)dt$$

    [2]: (5.3#13)$$\int_{1}^{2}\left(\frac{x}{2}-\frac{2}{x}\right)dx$$

    [3]: (5.3#7)$$\int_{0}^{\pi}\left(5e^x+3\sin x\right)dx$$

    Recitation Part 2: Using the Net Change Theorem

    Recall The Net Change Theorem (NCT) as presented in the book and in lecture on Mon Apr 15, using the terminology of derivatives :

    (the integral of a rate of change of a quantity is the net change of that quantity )

    If \(F(x)\) is differentiable on the interval \([a,b]\), then $$\int_a^bF'(x)dx\underset{\text{NCT}}{=}F(b)-F(a)$$

    [4]: (5.3#59) An object moves along a line with velocity $$v(t)=3t-5 \ \text{ for } \ 0\leq t \leq 3$$ where \(t\) is the time in seconds and \(v(t)\) is the velocity at time \(t\), in meters per second.

    1. Find the displacement of the object during the time interval. Give an exact answer , with correct units.
    2. Illustrate your result for (a) using a graph of the velocity \(v(t)\).
    3. Find the distance traveled by the object during the time interval. Give an exact answer and a decimal approximation , rounded to 3 decimal places.

    [5]: (5.3#60) An object moves along a line with velocity $$v(t)=t^2-2t-3\ \text{ for } \ 0\leq t \leq 6$$ where \(t\) is the time in seconds and \(v(t)\) is the velocity at time \(t\), in meters per second.

    1. Find the displacement of the object during the time interval \([2,5]\). Give an exact answer , with correct units.
    2. Illustrate your result for (a) using a graph of the velocity \(v(t)\).
    3. Find the distance traveled by the object during the time interval \([2,5]\). Give an exact answer and a decimal approximation , rounded to 3 decimal places.

    Recitation Part 3: Harder Problems Using the Evaluation Theorem

    [6]: (5.3#18) Hint: The bad news is that we have no antiderivative rules that work on a function as complicated as the function that is the integrand here. Your only hope is to rewrite the integrand in a form for which our basic antiderivative rules do work. The good news is that the integrand can be simplified a lot! $$\int_{0}^{\pi/3}\left(\frac{\sin \theta +\sin \theta \tan^2 \theta}{\sec^2 \theta}\right)d\theta$$

    [7]: (5.3#9) Hint: You�ll have to rewrite the integrand as a sum of power functions before integrating. $$\int_{1}^{4}\left(\frac{4+6u}{\sqrt{u}}\right)du$$

    [8]: (5.3#23) Hint: You�ll have to rewrite the integrand as a sum of power functions and \(\frac{1}{x}\) functions before integrating. $$\int_{1}^{e}\left(\frac{x^2+x+1}{x}\right)dx$$

    Recitation Part 3: Some More Hard Problems Using the Evaluation Theorem

    (You had some hard problems in last Tuesday�s Recitation.)

    Recall The Evaluation Theorem (ET) as presented in the book and in lecture on Mon Apr 15, using the terminology of antiderivatives :

    (the relationship between definite integrals and antiderivatives )

    If \(f(x)\) is continuous on the interval \([a,b]\), then $$\int_a^bf(x)dx\underset{\text{ET}}{=}F(b)-F(a)$$ where \(F(x)\) is any antiderivative of \(f(x)\).

    [1]: (5.3#11) Hint: You�ll have to rewrite the integrand as a sum of power functions before integrating. $$\int_{0}^{1}x\left(\sqrt[3]{x}+\sqrt[4]{x}\right)dx$$ Give an exact answer and a decimal approximation , rounded to 3 decimal places.

    [2]: (5.3#15) Hint: You�ll have to do some sleuth work to figure out one of the antiderivatives. Try checking your book in Section 5.3. $$\int_{0}^{1}\left(x^{10}+10^x\right)dx$$ Give an exact answer and a decimal approximation , rounded to 3 decimal places.

    [3]: (5.3#29) Hint: Remember that the function \(|x|\) is a piecewise-defined function. That is, the formula for \(|x|\) depends on which piece of the domain that you are in. That will mean that you will need to break up this definite integral on the interval \([-1,2]\) into two definite integrals, each on a smaller interval. $$\int_{-1}^{2}\left(x-2|x|\right)dx$$ Give an exact answer .

    Recitation Part 12: Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1

    Recall the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1

    If \(f\) is continuous on the interval \([a,b]\), then $$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\int_a^xf(t)dt\right)\underset{\text{FTC1}}{=}f(x) \text{ for } \ a \lt x \lt b$$

    [4]: (5.4#6) The function \(g(x)\) is defined by the integral: $$g(x)=\int_{3}^{x}e^{t^2-t} \ dt$$ Find \(g'(x)\).

    [5]: (5.4#10) The function \(g(x)\) is defined by the integral: $$g(x)=\int_{0}^{x}\sqrt{1+\sqrt{t}} \ dt$$ Find \(g'(x)\).

    [6]: (5.4#10) The function \(h(x)\) is defined by the integral: $$h(x)=\int_{0}^{\tan x}\sqrt{1+\sqrt{t}} \ dt$$ (Hint: You will need the Chain Rule .)

    Recitation Part 3: Computing the Average Value of a Function on an Interval

    Recall the Definition of the Average Value of a Function on an Interval

    If \(f(x)\) is continuous on the interval \([a,b]\), then the Average Value of \(f(x)\) on the interval \([a,b]\) is defined to be the number

    $$h=\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^bf(x)dx$$

    [7]: Find the average value of the function \(f(x)= \frac{1}{x}\) on the interval \([1,4]\). Simplify your answer.

    [8]: Find the average value of the function \(f(x)= \sin (x) \) on the interval \([0,\pi]\). Simplify your answer.
