APPM 1350 Forgiveness exam III Spring 2007
Books, notes and electronic devices are not permitted. Write your (1) name, (2) instructor’s name and (3) recitation number on the front of your bluebook. There are 5 problems of 20 points each, plus a 20-point extra credit problem. Show your work clearly and box your answers. A correct answer with incorrect or no supporting work may receive no credit, while an incorrect answer with relevant work may receive partial credit.
(1) (a) Estimate the integral
0
x + 1dx using n = 6 rectangles and left-
hand end-points (you do not need to simplify your answer). (b) Estimate the same integral using the trapezoidal sum for n = 6 (you do not need to simplify your answer). (c)How large do you have to make n to be sure that the corresponding trapezoidal estimate is within 10−^4 of the real value of the integral?
Hint: The trapezoidal sum and error bound for the trapezoidal rule are Tn = h 2 (y 0 + 2y 1 + ... + 2yn− 1 + yn)
|ET | ≤ b − a 12
h^2 M
(2)Find the total area of the two regions enclosed between the graph of the function y = x^2 − 1 on the interval [0, 2] and the x-axis.
(3) Calculate the integrals:
(a)
t + 1 √ t
dt
(b)
x)^3 √ x
dx
(c)
0
t(t^2 + 1)^1 /^3 dr
(4) (a) State the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (both parts).
(b) Calculate the derivative of the function h(x) =
∫ √x
0
cos θdθ.
(c) Find the critical points of the function h given in part (b).
(5) (a) Find the average value of the function f (x) = 3x^2 − 3 on the interval [0, 1]. (b) The Mean Value Theorem states that there is a value x = c such that f (c) equals the average value of f in over some interval. Find this value c for the function and interval in part (a).
Extra credit: A fence of height H is D feet away from a vertical wall. At what angle θ should a ladder be leaned against the fence in order that the minimum length ladder be required to stretch from the ground to the wall? Use the following guidelines:
(a) Where (how far from the fence) should the leg of the ladder A be placed on the ground so that the ladder makes a given angle θ with the fence? (Hint: your answer will depend on D and θ.)
(b) How far is A from the vertical wall, for the given angle θ?
(c) How long is the ladder for the given θ?
(d) The length L of the ladder depends on θ (via one of its trig functions sin θ, cos θ etc). Differentiate L with respect to θ. (Hint: when differentiat- ing, remember that H and D are constants that do not depend on θ.)
(e) Set the derivative of L equal to zero and solve for θ to find for which angle the minimum value of L is obtained. (Hint: your answer may still depend on H and D. You may express θ in the form of one of its trig functions, e.g. cos θ = 100G + 100
