BRIEF ANSWERS FOR TEST 1
- T or F?
- F, the limit is zero. (L'Hospital's Rule does not apply.)
- T. Since f=o(g) we have lim_(x goes to infinity) (f/g) = 0.
Therefore f/g is bounded for large x, which implies that f=O(g).
- F. If x = 0 and C = 1, then this equality asserts that
ln(2) = 1. But ln(2) = .697..., and not 1.
- T, since y = e^x is continuous.
- F. The limit is +Pi.
- Evaluate ...
- This limit is in the form 1^(infinity), which is indeterminate.
L'Hospital's Rule applies to show that the limit is
e^3.
- If you draw the correct triangle it is easy to see
that sec(tan^(-1)(x/2)) = square_root(x^2+4)/2.
- Integrate ...
- Use the substitution u = tan(x). Then you get
an answer of 2^(tan(x))/ln(2) + C.
- Since 3-2t-t^2 = 2^2 - (t+1)^2, we can use the integration
formula involving sin^(-1)(t) that we just learned.
We get that (before evaluating at the bounds) the integral
is 6(sin^(-1)((t+1)/2)). After evaluating we get just Pi.
- Solve the IVP.
Put it into normal form. P(x) = 1/(xln(x)), so nu(x) = ln(x).
Thus y(x) = (1/ln(x))[(1/2)ln^2(x) + C]. From y(e)=1 we calculate
that C = 1/2. Thus y(x) = (1/2)[ln(x) + 1/ln(x)].
It follows that y(square_root(e)) = 5/4.
- The bounds of integration are -Pi/3 and +Pi/3.
The integral of 8cos(x) - sec^2(x) on this interval
is 6*square_root(3).
- We need to integrate Pi*sin^2(x) from 0 to Pi.
The answer is (Pi^2)/2.
- If you use the arc length formula this reduces
to the integral of cosh(x) from 0 to ln(3).
The answer is sinh(ln(3)) = 4/3.
