Find the area of the region enclosed by the graphs of f(x) and -f(x).
Solution:
16 - (x - 1)2 ≥ 0 and the domain of the function is [-3,5].
The answer can be found numerically by integrating f(x) - (-f(x)) between x = -3 and x = 5.
However, an easier way to find the answer is to realize that f(x) is a semicircle of the circle (x -
1)2 + y2 = 16, y > 0, and -f(x) is the other semicircle, y < 0.
The radius of the circle is 4. The answer is ¶42 = 16¶.
Let R be the region in the first and second quadrants enclosed by the graphs of f and g. Find the
area of R.
Solution: The answer can be found numerically by integrating f(x) - g(x) between their points
of intersection. First we need to find these points:
4 - x2 = .25x2 + x + 1
1.252 + x - 3 = 0 with the solutions x = -2 and x = 1.2
Let R be the region in the first and second quadrants enclosed by the graphs of f and g. Find the
volume of the solid generated when R is revolved about the x axis.
Solution:
4. Let f be a function derivabile on the (0, .6) interval. If f '(x) = 3 + ln(x + 1) and f(.1) = 2, what
is f(.6)?.
Solution:
f(.6) = 3.647
5. Let R be the region in the first quadrant bounded by the y axis and the graphs of f(x) = 3 +
ln(x + 1) and g(x) = 23x. Find the area of R.
Solution:
3 + ln(x + 1) = 23x solved numerically gives x = .
598.
6. Let R be the region in the first quadrant bounded by the graphs of f(x) = 3 + ln(x + 1) and g(x)
= 23x. Region R is the base of a solid. For this solid, each cross-section perpendicular to the x-
axis is a square. Find the volume of this solid.
Solution:
3 + ln(x + 1) = 23x solved numerically gives x = .598.
7. A checking account has $120,000 at time t=0. During the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 18 months, money is
deposited into the checking account at a rate d(t) = 2,000(t+1)sin(t/4) dollars/month. At the same
time, money is withdrawn from the checking account at the rate w(t) = 10,000/(t+1)
dollars/month. Is the dollar amount increasing at t=9 months? How many dollars are in the
account at time t=18 months?
Solution:
d(9) - w(9) = 2000(9 + 1)sin(9/4) - 10000/(9 + 1)
d(9) - w(9) = 14,561 $/month is a positive value so money is deposited into the account at a
higher rate than it is withdrawn at t = 9 months.
At t = 18 months, the sum available in the account is:
1.Write an equation for the line tangent to the curve x2 + 4x + y3 = 4 at the point (1, -1).
Solution: Treating y as an implicitly defined function of x and differentiating both sides of
the equation with respect to x, we obtain:
2x + 4 + 3y2y' = 0
y' = -(2x + 4)/(3y2)
At point (1,-1), y'(1) = -2
y = -1 - 2·(x-1)
2. dy/dx = (x + 1)2y
Sketch a slope field for the given differential equation at the points indicated.
Solution:
3. dy/dx = (x + 1)2y
Let y = f(x) be the solution of this equation with the initial condition f(1) = 1. What is the
equation of the tangent to the graph of f at x = 1?
Solution: f '(1) = (1 + 1)21 = 4
The tangent equation is y = 1 + 4(x - 1), or
y = 4x - 3.
4. dy/dx = (x + 1)2y
Find the solution y = f(x) to the given differential equation with the initial condition f(1) = 1.
g(3) is the area of the pentagon in the first quadrant bounded by the x axis, the y axis and
function f.
g(3) = 3/2 + 2 + 1 = 4.5
g'(x) = f(x)
g'(-1) = 0
g'(x) = f(x) < 0 for x < -1 and g'(x) = f(x) > 0 for x > -1 so g has a relative minimum at x = -1.
8. Find the coordinates of the two points on the x2 - 2x + 4y2 + 16y + 1 = 0 closed curve where
the line tangent to the curve is vertical.
Solution: Treating y as an implicitly defined function of x and differentiating both sides of
the equation with respect to y, we obtain:
2xx' - 2x' + 8y + 16 = 0
x'(2x - 2) = -8(y + 2)
x' = -4(y + 2)/(x - 1) and x' should be 0 if the line tangent is vertical.
y = -2
At the points with vertical tangents, x2 - 2x + 16 - 32 + 1 = 0
x2 - 2x - 15 = 0
The solutions are x1 = 5 and x2 = -3.
The coordinates of the two points are (5, -2) and (-3, -2).
