Problems from exam 4 of mit's 18.01 single variable calculus course, fall 2006. The problems involve calculus concepts such as differentiation, integration, and trigonometric substitution. Students are asked to evaluate integrals, find arc length and surface area, sketch curves and find their areas, and find equations in polar coordinates.

Problem 3. (20 points) Use a trigonometric substitution to evaluate (Be careful evaluating the limits)
1 (^0) (4 3 )3/ 3
dx
Problem 4. a. (10 points) Find an integral formula for the arc length of the curve
b. (10 points) Find an integral formula for the surface area of the curve in part (a) rotated around the x -axis. Simplify the integrand and evaluate the integral.
Problem 5. a. (7 points) Sketch the spiral r = θ^21 0 ≤ θ ≤ 3 ∏. Say how many times the curve meets the x-axis counting θ = 0 as the first times, and mark those points with X-s. (Your sketch need not be accurate to scale.)
b. (8 points) On your picture, shade in the region 0 ≤ r ≤ θ^2 , 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2 ∏, and find its area.
Problem 6. a. (10 points) Find the equation in polar coordinates for the line
b. (5 points) Find the range of θ for the portion of line y=x-1 in the range (^0) ≤ x ≤ ∞. (It helps to draw a picture.)
