A problem set from mit opencourseware for the single variable calculus course (18.01) in the fall of 2006. The problem set includes various calculus problems covering topics such as the first and second fundamental theorems, areas between curves, and volumes by slicing and disks. Students are expected to attempt to solve each problem independently and submit their work by the due date.

Part II (30 points + 5 extra credit)
Directions: Attempt to solve each part of each problem yourself. If you collaborate, solutions
must be written up independently. It is illegal to consult materials from previous semesters. With
each problem is the day it can be done.
collaborated and the resources you used, or say “none” or “no consultation”. (See full explanation
on PS1).
a) Suppose that at the beginning of day 0, some time last summer, the temperature in Boston
was y(0) = 65 ◦ Fahrenheit and that over a 50-day period, the temperature increased according to
the rule y � (t) = y(t)/100, with time t measured in days. Find the formula for y, and draw a graph
of temperature on days 3 and 4, 3 ≤ t ≤ 5, and label with the correct day and shade in the regions
whose areas represent the average temperature each of the two days. 2
1 A more colorful way of expressing 4B-6 is in terms of the volume of a tent, as in the textbook problem 7.3/7.
Unfortunately, the problem is ill-posed and can’t be done without pretending that the cross-sections are triangles.
In real life, the canvas would have creases. In general, the shapes formed by stretching canvas or nylon over various
arrays of tent poles are quite hard to compute. 2 The continuous average of a function is � (^) b 1 f (x)dx b − a (^) a
In this case b − a = 1, so the average is the same as integral. For more, see Notes, AV, and Lecture 23.
