notice it is easier to compute A = 2 (6 − (y 2 + 2)) dy = . Another way to see this shortcut

is to notice that the integrand h(y) = 4 − y is an even function of y. Recall that for an even

2. To graph the function f (x) = you can use calculus I techniques or your calculator.

Next you need to graph the tangent line to the graph of f (x) at x = 1. The slope of the tangent

line is f ′ (1) = − so using the equation of a line yields y = − x + 1. The desired area is then

4. Use cosh2 x − sinh2 x = 1. The solution is − + C.
cosh x

5. The easiest way to do this problem is to let y = xcosh x , so ln y = cosh x ln x. Now use
implicit differentiation, then plug in x = 1 or solve for y ′ and then plug in x = 1, the choice is
yours. The slope of the tangent line is then y ′ (1) = cosh 1. The equation of the tangent line is
y = cosh(1)x+1−cosh 1. Note cosh 1 ≈ 1.543, so you could write the answer as y = 1.543x−.543
as well.
