Test 4 Summary

Fall 2010

This sheet is only intended to give you some guidance and shouldnt be the only thing you look at. To study for the test, it is a good idea to try doing all the examples in your notes without looking at my work, rework WebAssign questions, and try suggested practice problems for the sections you nd most dicult. As usual, I have oce hours Tuesday from 4-5 and Wednesday from 12:30-2:30. I work in the Mathematics Multimedia Center (SAS 2103) on Thursdays from 4-5. On the day of the test, I will have extra oce hours from 12:30-1:30. 4.7 Newtons Method Know how and why to apply Newtons Method. How do you know when to stop? What are you trying to approximate? Since you dont have a calculator, I wont ask you to do more than just a couple approximations. 4.8 Antiderivatives, 5.3 Evaluating Denite Integrals 5.5 Substitution, 5.6 Integration by Parts Know what antiderivatives, denite integrals, and indenite integrals are and how to calculate. You will have integrals (denite and/or indenite) that require substitution and some that require integration by parts. You will have to determine which technique to use for each problem. If given some conditions in an antiderivative/indenite integral problem, be able to solve for constants. Remember the relationship between acceleration, velocity, and position and have an understanding of the meaning of the Net Change Theorem. 5.1 Areas and Distances Understand how (and why) rectangles are used to approximate area. Know what it means to use left endpoints, right endpoints and midpoints. What happens if we draw more and more rectangles? 5.2 The Denite Integral Understand the notation and denition of denite integrals and the relationship with area. I may ask you to use geometry to evaluate denite integrals, but you will not be asked to evaluate a denite integral in the form of a limit of a Riemann sum. Be able to use and apply the properties of the denite integral. 5.4 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus The big message from this section is that integration and dierentiation are inverse processes. Be x able to calculate values of and dierentiate functions that look like g(x) = a f (t)dt. Know and be able to apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
