Test 1 Review Sheet—Math 122
Spring 2005, Prof. Frank
This exam will cover sections 5.6, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 (eight total).
General principles to guide your study:
(1) Reread each section in the book, along with your notes for that section and the
comments in the study guide for that section. Make a note of every important fact,
definition, and theorem from that section that you feel you should memorize.
(2) Go over your HW assignments and make sure that you understand all of the problems,
as well as the related problems in the text. Pay close attention to the ones you missed
the first time around.
(3) Think about the questions listed below only after you have completed your review.
Try and figure them out without referring to your notes.
Note: many of the following questions are more vague and open-ended than what will be on
your exam. They are intended as food for thought, to help you explore the concepts.
I will post a list of review sheet hints on my website this weekend. Try the
problems on your own first!!!
(1) Discuss the similarities and differences between Zf(x)dx and Zb
a
f(x)dx.
(2) If F(x) and G(x) are both antiderivatives of f(x), is it correct to say that Zf(x)dx =
F(x) + C=G(x) + C? Why or why not?
(3) True or false? d
dx Zf(x)dx =f(x) + C.
(4) Which of the following integrals equals Z3
1
(x+ 5)3dx? (a) Z3
1
u3du or (b) Z8
6
u3du?
Use the one you’ve chosen and compute the value of the integral.
(5) Here are some fun integrals to try:
(a) Zcos x(cos(sin x))dx
(b) Z(1 + x)3
xdx
(c) Zln(ln x)
xln xdx
(6) For each of the following, draw regions bounded by functions f(x) and g(x) between
x= 1 and x= 5 as specified. (Note that you will have four different graphs when you
are done. Note also that you don’t need to write any equations for the functions.)
(a) To compute the area of the region you must divide it into three pieces.
(b) A solid of revolution around the x-axis can be computed using washers.
(c) A solid of revolution around the x-axis can be computed using disks.
(d) A solid of revolution around the x-axis cannot be reasonably created.

Test 1 Review Sheet—Math 122

Spring 2005, Prof. Frank

This exam will cover sections 5.6, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 (eight total).

General principles to guide your study:

(1) Reread each section in the book, along with your notes for that section and the comments in the study guide for that section. Make a note of every important fact, definition, and theorem from that section that you feel you should memorize. (2) Go over your HW assignments and make sure that you understand all of the problems, as well as the related problems in the text. Pay close attention to the ones you missed the first time around. (3) Think about the questions listed below only after you have completed your review. Try and figure them out without referring to your notes.

Note: many of the following questions are more vague and open-ended than what will be on your exam. They are intended as food for thought, to help you explore the concepts.

I will post a list of review sheet hints on my website this weekend. Try the problems on your own first!!!

(1) Discuss the similarities and differences between

f (x)dx and

∫ (^) b

a

f (x)dx.

(2) If F (x) and G(x) are both antiderivatives of f (x), is it correct to say that

f (x)dx = F (x) + C = G(x) + C? Why or why not? (3) True or false?

d dx

f (x)dx = f (x) + C.

(4) Which of the following integrals equals

1

(x + 5)^3 dx? (a)

1

u^3 du or (b)

6

u^3 du? Use the one you’ve chosen and compute the value of the integral. (5) Here are some fun integrals to try: (a)

cos x(cos(sin x))dx

(b)

x)^3 √ x

dx

(c)

ln(ln x) x ln x

dx (6) For each of the following, draw regions bounded by functions f (x) and g(x) between x = 1 and x = 5 as specified. (Note that you will have four different graphs when you are done. Note also that you don’t need to write any equations for the functions.) (a) To compute the area of the region you must divide it into three pieces. (b) A solid of revolution around the x-axis can be computed using washers. (c) A solid of revolution around the x-axis can be computed using disks. (d) A solid of revolution around the x-axis cannot be reasonably created.

(7) If f (x) > g(x) for all x ∈ [a, b], can you always compute the area between them as

an integral

∫ (^) b

a

f (x) − g(x)dx? What if f is positive and g is negative? What if they are both negative? (8) If you are using the theorem of Pappus, is it necessary to compute the area of the region in order to compute the volume of revolution? (9) True or false: The centroid of a region must always lie in that region. (10) Suppose a region has area 4 and centroid at (− 3 , 3). Determine the volume of revo- lution (a) around the x-axis, (b) around the line y = x. (11) Write the definition of ln x, remembering that this must include the domain. Sketch a graph that interprets this definition in terms of area. When should ln x be negative, and why? (12) Sketch the graph of ln x. Use Calculus to show that the graph is increasing and concave down. (13) Explain in two different ways why if a < b then ln a < ln b. (14) Carefully, without your graphing calculator, sketch the graphs of ln x and

x on the same set of axes, letting x range from 0 to 64. Which function is larger, and should it stay that way forever? Can you use derivatives to explain why? (15) Use upper and lower sums of four rectangles each to get an estimate of ln 3. Check with your calculator. (16) Show that ln x is invertible using two different methods. (17) On the same set of axes, sketch the graph of f (x) = ln x and its inverse f −^1 (x). Label the coordinates of at least two points on each graph. (18) Let f (x) = ln x. You know that f (e) = ln e = 1. Use this fact and the theorem from page 377 to show that (f −^1 )′(1) = e. (19) True or false: If f is decreasing, then f −^1 is increasing. (20) True or false: (f −^1 )−^1 = f. Explain. (21) True or false: If f is always positive, then f −^1 can be positive, negative, or both. Find an example in your class notes or in the book, or make one up.
