 sin^2 x =^1 2

โˆ’ cos(2x) 2

 cos^2 x =^1 2

  • cos(2x) 2

 sin(2x) = 2 sin x cos x

sec^2 x dx = tan x + C 

sec x tan x dx = sec x + C

sec x dx = ln | sec x + tan x| + C 

tan x dx = ln | sec x| + C

secn^ x dx = sec

nโˆ’ (^2) x tan x n โˆ’ 1

  • n^ โˆ’^2 n โˆ’ 1

secnโˆ’^2 x dx (n > 1)

bx^ = (ln b)bx^  d dx

tan x = sec^2 x  d dx

sec x = sec x tan x

  1. (10 points) Evaluate the integral

  1. (15 points) (a) Find P 3 (x) the third order Taylor Polynomial of f (x) = 3

x based at x 0 = 8.

(b) Use your answer in (a) to estimate 3

9 to 5 decimal places.

  1. (5 points) Suppose that the sixth-order Maclaurin polynomial for a function f is

P 6 (x) = 2 +

4 x^2 3 +^

x^3 2 โˆ’^

7 x^5

Find f (3)(0), i.e., find the third derivative of f at 0.

  1. The probability density function (pdf) of the time, in minutes, it takes to solve a particular puzzle is given by the function f (x) =

k/x^5 if x โ‰ฅ 2 , 0 if x < 2. for some constant k.

(a) (10 points) Find the value of k so that f (x) is a pdf.

(b) (10 points) Find the probability that it takes at most 3 minutes to solve the puzzle.

  1. (10 points) Use a comparison to determine if the following integral converges or diverges. Justify your answer. โˆซ โˆž 1

  1. (10 points) Evaluate the following integral. Your final answer should not contain any compositions of a trigonometric function with an inverse trigonometric function - for example, tan(arcsin x).

Remember: sec t = 1 cos t
