2) Evaluate the following definite integrals.
Use substitution
, then
and
Since we have a definite integral we have to evaluate this expression at the upper limit and then subtract from that the value of the expression at the lower limit:
Use substitution u=x/2 -1, then du=dx/2 and
Since we have a definite integral we have to evaluate this expression at the upper limit and then subtract from that the value of the expression at the lower limit:

3) Sketch the graph of
. (You DON'T need
to show each step of finding the critical points, increasing/decreasing
intervals, etc.) Find the area of the region bounded by the graph of f
and the x-axis (i.e. the region below the x-axis and above the
graph.)
Either by using the graph or factoring the function we find out that the zeros of f(x) are -1 and 5. So the area will be (attention to the negative sign in front of f)
4) Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the derivative of
i.e. find f'(x). Please justify your answer.
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus states:
Suppose f is a continuous function on [a,b]. If F is defined on [a,b] by
then F'(x)=f(x) for all x in [a,b].
Here the function inside the integral, namely
is
continuous everywhere, in particular on the interval [1,b], for any b. So the
theorem applies giving the result
for all x.
5) Consider the function
on the
interval [1,5]. Divide the interval into 4 subintervals, all of the same
length. Write the coordinates of
. (How many
's will you
have?) Write the Riemann sum (in symbols) for the
left-end/right-end/mid-points of the intervals. Then write the Riemann
sum as a sum of the numeric values.
(Solution will not be added later unfortunately. The TA is extremely busy nowadays.)
