One answer is below, but other interpretations exist.
1.1.8.14.
Answer.
Many interpretations are possible--see the solution to Question 13 for a more thorough discussion--but the most obvious is given below.
1.1.8.15.(✳).
Answer.
Three answers are possible. It is a midpoint Riemann sum for \(f\) on the interval \([1,5]\) with \(n =4\text{.}\) It is also a left Riemann sum for \(f\) on the interval \([1.5,5.5]\) with \(n =4\text{.}\) It is also a right Riemann sum for \(f\) on the interval \([0.5,4.5]\) with \(n =4\text{.}\)
For any constant \(C\text{,}\)\(F(x)+C\) is an antiderivative of \(f(x)\text{.}\) So, for example, \(F(x)\) and \(F(x)+1\) are both antiderivatives of \(f(x)\text{.}\)
1.3.2.9.
Answer.
We differentiate with respect to \(a\text{.}\) Recall \(\diff{}{x}\{\arccos x\} = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\text{.}\) To differentiate \(\frac{1}{2}a\sqrt{1-a^2}\text{,}\) we use the product and chain rules.
\(\displaystyle\int \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+a^2}}\dee{x} = \log\left|x+\sqrt{x^2+a^2}\right|+C\) when \(a\) is a given constant. As usual, \(C\) is an arbitrary constant.
\(f'(x)=(2-2x)\log\big(1+e^{2x-x^2}\big)\) and \(f(x)\) achieves its absolute maximum at \(x=1\text{,}\) because \(f(x)\) is increasing for \(x \lt 1\) and decreasing for \(x \gt 1\text{.}\)
1.3.2.44.(✳).
Answer.
The minimum is \(\int_0^{-1} \frac{\dee{t}}{1+t^4}\text{.}\) As \(x\) runs from \(-\infty\) to \(\infty\text{,}\) the function \(f(x)= \int_0^{x^2-2x}\frac{\dee{t}}{1+t^4}\) decreases until \(x\) reaches 1 and then increases all \(x \gt 1\text{.}\) So the minimum is achieved for \(x=1\text{.}\) At \(x=1\text{,}\)\(x^2-2x=-1\text{.}\)
1.3.2.45.(✳).
Answer.
\(F\) achieves its maximum value at \(x=\pi\text{.}\)
1.3.2.46.(✳).
Answer.
\(2\)
1.3.2.47.(✳).
Answer.
\(\log 2\)
1.3.2.48.
Answer.
In the sketch below, open dots denote inflection points, and closed dots denote extrema.
If \(f(x)=0\) for all \(x\text{,}\) then \(F(x)\) is even and possibly also odd.
If \(f(x) \neq 0\) for some \(x\text{,}\) then \(F(x)\) is not even. It might be odd, and it might be neither even nor odd.
(Perhaps surprisingly, every antiderivative of an odd function is even.)
1.4Substitution 1.4.2Exercises
1.4.2.1.
Answer.
(a) true
(b) false
1.4.2.2.
Answer.
The reasoning is not sound: when we do a substitution, we need to take care of the differential (\(\dee{x}\)). Remember the method of substitution comes from the chain rule: there should be a function and its derivative. Here’s the way to do it:
Work: We use the substitution \(u=\log t\text{,}\) so \(\dee{u}=\frac{1}{t}\dee{t}\text{.}\) When \(t=1\text{,}\) we have \(u=\log 1 =0\) and when \(t=\pi\text{,}\) we have \(u=\log(\pi)\text{.}\) Then:
\(\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} \frac{f(u)}{\sqrt{1-u^2}}\,\dee{u}\text{.}\) Because the denominator \(\sqrt{1-u^2}\) vanishes when \(u=1\text{,}\) this is what is known as an improper integral. Improper integrals will be discussed in Section 1.12.

1.6.2.2.
Answer.
The columns have the same volume.
1.6.2.3.
Answer.
Washers when \(\mathbf{1 \lt y \le 6}\text{:}\) If \(y \gt 1\text{,}\) then our washer has inner radius \(2+\frac{2}{3}y\text{,}\) outer radius \(6-\frac{2}{3}y\text{,}\) and height \(\dee{y}\text{.}\)
Washers when \(\mathbf{0\le y \lt 1}\text{:}\) When \(0 \le y \lt 1\text{,}\) we have a “double washer,” two concentric rings. The inner washer has inner radius \(r_1=y\) and outer radius \(R_1=2-y\text{.}\) The outer washer has inner radius \(r_2=2+\frac{2}{3}y\) and outer radius \(R_2=6-\frac{2}{3}y\text{.}\) The thickness of the washers is \(\dee{y}\text{.}\)
All the antiderivatives differ only by a constant, so we can write them all as \(v(x)+C\) for some \(C\text{.}\) Then, using the formula for integration by parts,
Since the terms with \(C\) cancel out, it didn’t matter what we chose for \(C\)--all choices end up the same.
1.7.2.5.
Answer.
Suppose we choose \(\dee{v} = f(x)\dee{x}\text{,}\)\(u=1\text{.}\) Then \(v = \displaystyle\int f(x)\dee{x}\text{,}\) and \(\dee{u}=\dee{x}\text{.}\) So, our integral becomes:
In order to figure out the first product (and the second integrand), you need to know the antiderivative of \(f(x)\)--but that’s exactly what you’re trying to figure out!
(a) We integrate by parts with \(u=\sin^{n-1}x\) and \(\dee{v}=\sin x\,\dee{x}\text{,}\) so that \(\dee{u}=(n-1)\sin^{n-2}x\cos x\) and \(v=-\cos x\text{.}\)
The work in the question is not correct. The most salient problem is that when we make the substitution \(x=\sin\theta\text{,}\) we restrict the possible values of \(x\) to \([-1,1]\text{,}\) since this is the range of the sine function. However, the original integral had no such restriction.
How can we be sure we avoid this problem in the future? In the introductory text to Section 1.9 (before Example 1.9.1), the notes tell us that we are allowed to write our old variable as a function of a new variable (say \(x=s(u)\)) as long as that function is invertible to recover our original variable\(x\text{.}\) There is one very obvious reason why invertibility is necessary: after we antidifferentiate using our new variable \(u\text{,}\) we need to get it back in terms of our original variable, so we need to be able to recover \(x\text{.}\) Moreover, invertibility reconciles potential problems with domains: if an inverse function \(u=s^{-1}(x)\) exists, then for any \(x\text{,}\) there exists a \(u\) with \(s(u)=x\text{.}\) (This was not the case in the work for the question, because we chose \(x=\sin \theta\text{,}\) but if \(x=2\text{,}\) there is no corresponding \(\theta\text{.}\) Note, however, that \(x=\sin\theta\) is invertible over \([-1,1]\text{,}\) so the work is correct if we restrict \(x\) to those values.)
The goal of partial fraction decomposition is to write our integrand in a form that is easy to integrate. The antiderivative of (1) can be easily determined with the substitution \(u=(ax+b)\text{.}\) It’s less clear how to find the antiderivative of (2).
Since \(|x^2|\le1\) when \(|x|\leq 1\text{,}\) and \(\left|\sin\theta\right|\le1\) and \(\left|\cos\theta\right|\leq 1\) for all \(\theta\text{,}\) we have
First, we use Simpson’s rule with \(n=4\) to approximate \(\int_1^2 \frac{1}{1+x^2}\,\dee{x}\text{.}\) The choice of this method (what we’re approximating, why \(n=4\text{,}\) etc.) is explained in the solutions--here, we only show that it works.
For ease of notation, define \(A=0.321748\text{.}\)
Now, we bound the error associated with this approximation. Define \(N(x) = 24(5x^4-10x^2+1)\) and \(D(x) = (x^2+1)^5\text{,}\) so \(N(x)/D(x)\) gives the fourth derivative of \(\frac{1}{1+x^2}\text{.}\) When \(1 \le x \le 2\text{,}\)\(|N(x)| \le N(2)=984\) (because \(N(x)\) is increasing over that interval) and \(|D(x)| \geq D(1) = 2^5\) (because \(D(x)\) is also increasing over that interval), so \(\left| \ddiff{4}{}{x}\left\{\frac{1}{1+x^2}\right\}\right| = \left| \frac{N(x)}{D(x)}\right| \leq \frac{984}{2^5}=30.75\text{.}\) Now we find the error bound for Simpson’s rule with \(L=30.75\text{,}\)\(b=2\text{,}\)\(a=1\text{,}\) and \(n=4\text{.}\)

1.12.4.5.
Answer.
Not enough information to decide. For example, consider \(h(x) = 0\) versus \(h(x) = -1\text{.}\)
Not enough information to decide. For example, consider \(h(x)= f(x)\) versus \(h(x) = g(x)\text{.}\)
\(\displaystyle\int_{0\vphantom{\frac12}}^{\infty}h(x) \dee{x}\) converges by the comparison test, since \(|h(x)| \leq 2f(x)\) and \(\displaystyle\int_0^\infty 2f(x) \dee{x}\) converges.
(b) \(|f(x)-A|\) has the larger average on \([0,4]\)

2.2.2.27.
Answer.
One of many possible answers: \(f(x) = \begin{cases}
-1&\text{ if } x \leq 0\\
1&\text{ if } x \gt 0
\end{cases}\text{.}\)
No such function exists.
Note 1: Suppose \(f(x) \gt 0\) for all \(x\) in \([-1,1]\text{.}\) Then \(\frac{1}{2}\int_{-1}^1f(x)\,\dee{x} \gt \frac{1}{2}\int_{-1}^10\,\dee{x} =0 \text{.}\) That is, the average value of \(f(x)\) on the interval \([-1,1]\) is not zero — it’s something greater than zero.
Note 2: Suppose \(f(x) \lt 0\) for all \(x\) in \([-1,1]\text{.}\) Then \(\frac{1}{2}\int_{-1}^1f(x)\,\dee{x} \lt \frac{1}{2}\int_{-1}^10\,\dee{x} =0 \text{.}\) That is, the average value of \(f(x)\) on the interval \([-1,1]\) is not zero — it’s something less than zero.
So, if the average value of \(f(x)\) is zero, then \(f(x)\ge 0\) for some \(x\) in \([-1,1]\text{,}\) and \(f(y) \le 0\) for some \(y \in [-1,1]\text{.}\) Since \(f\) is a continuous function, and 0 is between \(f(x)\) and \(f(y)\text{,}\) by the intermediate value theorem (see the CLP-1 text) there is some value \(c\) between \(x\) and \(y\) such that \(f(c)=0\text{.}\) Since \(x\) and \(y\) are both in \([-1,1]\text{,}\) then \(c\) is as well. Therefore, no function exists as described in the question.
(a) The strips between \(x=a\) and \(x=a'\) at the left end of the figure all have the same centre of mass, which is the \(y\)-value where \(T(x)=B(x)\text{,}\)\(x \lt 0\text{.}\) So, there should be multiple weights of different mass piled up at that \(y\)-value.
Similarly, the strips between \(x=b'\) and \(x=b\) at the right end of the figure all have the same centre of mass, which is the \(y\)-value where \(T(x)=B(x)\text{,}\)\(x \gt 0\text{.}\) So, there should be a second pile of weights of different mass, at that (higher) \(y\)-value.
Between these two piles, there are a collection of weights with identical mass distributed fairly evenly. The top and bottom ends of \(R\) (above the uppermost pile, and below the lowermost pile) have no weights.
One possible answer (using twelve slices):
(b) The area of the strip is \((T(x)-B(x))\,\dee{x}\text{,}\) and its centre of mass is at height \(\dfrac{T(x)+B(x)}{2}\text{.}\)
One possible answer: \(f(x)=x\text{,}\)\(g(y)=\dfrac{\sin y}{3y}\text{.}\)
One possible answer: \(f(x) = e^x\text{,}\)\(g(y) = e^y\text{.}\)
One possible answer: \(f(x) = x-1\text{,}\)\(g(y) = 1\text{.}\)
The given equation is equivalent to the equation \(\diff{y}{x}=x\text{,}\) which fits the form of a separable equation with \(f(x)=x\text{,}\)\(g(y)=1\text{.}\)
2.4.7.3.
Answer.
The mnemonic allows us to skip from the separable differential equation we want to solve (very first line) to the equation
(b) No such function exists. If \(|f(x)|=Cx\) and \(f(x)\) switches from \(f(x)=Cx\) to \(f(x)=-Cx\) at some point, then that point is a jump discontinuity. Where \(f(x)\) contains a discontinuity, \(\diff{y}{x}\) does not exist.

The solution only exists for \(C-\frac{x^2}{2} \gt 0\text{,}\) i.e. \(C \gt 0\) and the function has domain \(\left\{x:|x| \lt \sqrt{2C}\right\}\text{.}\)

\(\displaystyle a_n=\dfrac{1,002,001}{n}-2\)
3.1.2.5.
Answer.
One possible answer is \(a_n=(-1)^{n} = \{-1, 1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,\ldots\}\text{.}\)
Another is \(a_n=n(-1)^{n} = \{-1, 2,-3,4,-5,6,-7,\ldots\}\text{.}\)
3.1.2.6.
Answer.
One sequence of many possible is \(\displaystyle a_n = \frac{(-1)^n}{n} = \left\{-1,\ \frac12,\ -\frac13,\ \frac14,\ -\frac15,\ \frac16,\ \ldots \right\}\text{.}\)
(a) Some possible answers: \(a_{22}\approx -0.99996\text{,}\)\(a_{66}\approx -0.99965\text{,}\) and \(a_{110}\approx -0.99902\text{.}\)
(b) Some possible answers: \(a_{11}\approx 0.0044\text{,}\)\(a_{33}\approx -0.0133\text{,}\) and \(a_{55}\approx 0.0221\text{.}\)
The integers 11, 33, and 55 were found by approximating \(\pi\) by \(\dfrac{22}{7}\) and finding when an odd multiple of \(\dfrac{11}{7}\) (which is the corresponding approximation of \(\pi/2\)) is an integer.
(c) Some possible answers: \(a_{44}\approx 0.9998\text{,}\)\(a_{132}\approx 0.9986\text{,}\) and \(a_{220}\approx 0.09961\text{.}\)
Possible answers are \(\{a_n\}=\left\{\displaystyle n\left[f\left(a+\frac{1}{n}\right)-f(a)\right]\right\}\) or \(\{a_n\}=\left\{\displaystyle n\left[f(a)-f\left(a-\frac{1}{n}\right)\right]\right\}\text{.}\)
\(\displaystyle a_n =\begin{cases}
\frac{2}{n(n-1)(n-2)} &\text{ if }n \ge 3,\\
-\frac52 &\text{ if }n=2,\\
2 &\text{ if }n=1
\end{cases}\)

It diverges by the divergence test, because \(\displaystyle\lim_{n \to \infty}a_n \neq 0\text{.}\)
3.3.11.7.
Answer.
We cannot use the divergence test to show that a series converges. It is inconclusive in this case.
3.3.11.8.

The integral test does not apply because \(f(x)\) is not decreasing.

3.3.11.11.
Answer.
One possible answer: \(\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{1}{n^2}\text{.}\)
3.3.11.12.
Answer.
By the divergence test, for a series \(\sum a_n\) to converge, we need \(\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=0\text{.}\) That is, the magnitude (absolute value) of the terms needs to be getting smaller. If \(\displaystyle\lim_{n \to \infty}\left|\frac{a_n}{a_{n+1}}\right| \lt 1\) or (equivalently) \(\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty}\left|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}\right| \gt 1\text{,}\) then \(|a_{n+1}| \gt |a_n|\) for sufficiently large \(n\text{,}\) so the terms are actually growing in magnitude. That means the series diverges, by the divergence test.
3.3.11.13.

So the sum \(\displaystyle\sum_3^{\infty} f(n)\) and the integral \(\displaystyle\int_3^\infty f(x) \,\dee{x}\) either both converge or both diverge, by the integral test, which is Theorem 3.3.5. For the integral, we use the substitution \(u = \log x\text{,}\)\(\dee{u} = \frac{\dee{x}}{x}\) to get
for all \(n\ge 2\text{.}\) As the series \(\sum\limits_{n=2}^\infty \frac{\sqrt3}{n^2}\) converges, the comparison test says that \(\sum\limits_{n=2}^\infty \frac{\sqrt{3 n^2 - 7}}{n^{3}}\) converges too.

3.3.11.48.(✳).
Answer.
Since \(\lim\limits_{n\to \infty} a_n=0\text{,}\) there must be some integer \(N\) such that \(\half \gt a_n\ge 0\) for all \(n \gt N\text{.}\) Then, for \(n \gt N\text{,}\)
The error is in the interval \(\displaystyle\left(\dfrac{-5^7}{14\cdot 3^7}\left[1+\frac{1}{3^7} \right]\quad,\quad \dfrac{-5^7}{7\cdot 6^7} \right)\approx\left(-0.199, -0.040\right)\)
\(\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\frac{x^{2n+4}}{(2n+1)(2n+2)}=x^3\arctan x - \frac{x^2}{2}\log(1+x^2)\)
