CHAPTER 1

FOUNDATIONS OF CALCULUS
1. Quick Review of Functions
In this chapter we first discuss function, one of the most important concepts in mathematics.
Definition Let A and B be two non-empty sets. A function (map, mapping or transformation) from A to B is a rule which assigns to each element of A a unique element of B. The set A is called the domain of the function, and the set B is called the target set. Notations/Definitions/Remarks Functions are ordinarily denoted by symbols. Let f denote a function from A into B. Then we write
f :A B

which is read: f is a function from A into B, or f takes A into B, or f maps A into B. Suppose f : A B and a A . Then f (a ) [which is read f of a] will denote the unique element of B which f assigns to a. This element f (a ) in B is called the image of a under f or the value of f at a. We also say that f sends or maps a into f (a ) . The set of all such image values is called the range or image of f , and it is denoted by Ran (f ), Im (f) or f ( A) . That is
Im( f ) = {b B : there exists a A for which f (a) = b}

Im( f ) is a subset of the target set B.


Frequently, a function can be expressed by means of a mathematical formula: Consider the function which sends each real number into its square. We may describe this function by writing
f ( x) = x 2 or x a x2 or y = x2

In the first notation, x is called a variable and the letter f denotes the function. In the second notation, the barred arrow a is read goes into. In the last notation, x is called the independent variable and y is called the dependent variable since the value of y will depend on the value of x. Furthermore, suppose a function is given by a formula in terms of a variable x. Then we assume, unless otherwise stated, that the domain of the function is or the largest subset of for which the formula has meaning and that the target set is . Suppose f : A B . If A ' is a subset of A , then f ( A ') denotes the set of images of elements in A ' and if B ' is a subset of B , then f -1 ( B ') denotes the set of elements of A each whose image belongs to B '. That is,

f ( A ') = { f (a) : a A '} and f -1 ( B ') = {a A : f ( a) B '}.


We call f ( A ') the image of A ' , and call f -1 ( B ') the inverse image or preimage of B ' . Example Consider the function f ( x) = x3 , i.e., f assigns to each real number its cube. Then the image of 2 is 8, and so we may write f (2) = 8 . Similarly, f (-3) = -27 , and f (0) = 0 .

Identity Function
Calculus Page 5

School of Distance Education

Consider any set A . Then there is a function from A into A which sends each element into itself. It is called the identity function on A and it is usually denoted by 1A or I A or simply 1. In other words, the identity function 1A : A A is defined by
1A (a) = a

for every element a A .

Composition of Functions
Consider functions f : A B and g : B C , that is, where the target set B of f is the domain of g. This relationship can be pictured by the following diagram:
A f B g C Let a A ; then its image f ( a ) under f is in B which is the domain of g. Accordingly, we can

find the image of f (a ) under the function g, that is, we can find g (f (a) ). Thus we have a rule which assigns to each element a in A an element g (f (a) ) in C or, in other words, f and g gives rise to a well defined function from A to C. The new function is called the composition of f and g, and it is denoted by go f More briefly, if f : A B and g : B C , then we define a new function g o f : A C by

( g o f )(a) g ( f (a ))
Here is used to mean equal by definition. Note that we can now add the function g o f to the above diagram of f and g as follows:
A

ONE TO ONE, ONTO AND

gof

INVERTIBLE FUNCTIONS

Definition A function f : A B is said to be one-to-one (written 1-1 ) if f (a ) = f (a ') implies a = a ' . That is, f : A B is 1-1 if different elements in the domain A have distinct images. Definition A function f : A B is said to be an onto function if
" b B , $a A f ( a ) = b .

That is, f : A B is onto if every element of B is the image of some elements in A or, in other words, if the image of f is the entire target set B. In such a case we say that f is a function of A onto B or that f maps A onto B. Remarks The term injective is used for for a one-to-one function, surjective for an onto function, and bijective for a one-to-one correspondence. If f : A B is both one-to-one and onto, then f is called a one-to-one correspondence between A and B. This terminology comes from the fact that each element of A will correspond to a unique element of B and vice versa.

Limits of Powers and Algebraic Combinations


Theorem 1 : Properties of Limits The following rules hold if lim x c f ( x) = L and lim x c g ( x) = M (L and M real numbers). 1. Sum Rule:
lim[ f ( x) + g ( x )] = L + M
x c

i.e., the limit of the sum of two functions is the sum of their limits. 2. Difference Rule: lim[ f ( x) - g ( x )] = L - M
x c

i.e., the limit of the difference of two functions is the difference of their limits. 3. Product Rule:

lim f ( x) g ( x) ]= L M
x c

i.e., the limit of the product of two functions is the product of their limits. 4. Constant Multiple Rule: lim kf ( x ) = kL (any number k)
x c

i.e., the limit of a constant times a function is that constant times the limit of the function. f ( x) L 5. Quotient Rule: , M 0 = lim x c g ( x) M i.e., the limit of the quotient of two functions is the quotient of their limits, provided the limit of the denominator is not zero. 6. Power Rule: If m and n are integers, then

lim[ f ( x)] n = Ln , provided Ln is a real number.


x c

i.e., the limit of any rational power of a function is that power of the limit of the function, provided the latter is a real number. Example Find

x3 + 4 x 2 - 3 . x c x2 + 5 Solution We note that lim x c x = c and lim x c k = k , where k is a constant (we will prove this in Example 2 of Chapter 2). Now we use various parts of Theorem 1 for the evaluation of the required limit. lim

Theorem 3: Limits of Rational Functions by substitution (if the limit of the denominator is not zero) If P ( x ) and Q ( x) are polynomials and Q(c) 0 , then
lim P ( x ) P (c ) = . Q (c ) x c Q( x)

lim

This is the limit in Example 1 with c = -1 , now done in one step.

Identifying common factors


It can be shown that if Q ( x) is a polynomial and Q(c) = 0, then ( x - c) is a factor of Q ( x) . Thus, if the numerator and denominator of a rational function of x are both zero at x = c , then ( x - c) is a common factor.

Eliminating Zero Denominators Algebraically


Theorem 3 applies only when the denominator of the rational function is not zero at the limit point c . If the denominator is zero, canceling common factors in the numerator and denominator will sometimes reduce the fraction to one whose denominator is no longer zero at c . When this happens, we can find the limit by substitution in the simplified fraction.

x2 + x - 2 . x 1 x2 - x Solution We cannot just substitute x = 1 , because it makes the denominator zero. However, we can factor the numerator and denominator and cancel the common factor to obtain x 2 + x - 2 ( x - 1)( x + 2) x + 2 = = , if x 1 . x( x -1) x x2 - x
Example Evaluate lim Thus, by applying Theorem 3, we obtain

Example Find lim


h 0

2+h - 2 . h Solution We cannot find the limit by substituting h = 0 , and the numerator and denominator do not have obvious factors. However, we can create a common factor in the numerator by multiplying it (and the denominator) by the so-called conjugate expression 2 + h + 2 , obtained by changing the sign between the square roots: 2+h - 2 h
= 2+h - 2 h 2+h + 2 2+h + 2

= =

Therefore, we obtain

3. FORMAL DEFINITION OF LIMIT


Definition (A formal Definition of Limit) Let f ( x) be defined on an open interval about x0 , except possibly at x0 itself. We say that lim f ( x) = L , if, for every number e > 0 , there exists a corresponding number d > 0 such that
x x0

for all x with 0 < | x - x0 | < d

| f ( x) - L | < e .

Example Using the Definition, show that lim x 1 (5 x - 3) = 2.

f ( x) = 5 x - 3 , Solution Set x0 = 1, and L = 2 in the definition of limit. For any given e > 0 we have to find a suitable d > 0 so that if x 1 and x is within distance d of x0 = 1 , that is, if 0 <| x - 1|< d ,

then f ( x) is within distance e of L = 2 , that is


| f ( x) - 2 | < e .

We find d by working backwards from the e -inequality. | f ( x) - L | = | (5 x - 3) - 2 | = | 5 x - 5 | < e


5 | x - 1| < e

| x -1| <
Thus we can take d =

e

. If 0 < | x -1| < d =

, then

e | (5 x - 3) - 2 | = | 5 x - 5 | = 5 | x -1| < 5 5 =e. This proves that lim x 1 (5 x - 3) = 2 .


is not the only value that will make 5 0 < | x -1| < d imply | 5 x - 5 | < e . Any smaller positive d will do as well. The definition does not ask for a best positive d, just one that will work. Remark In the above Example, the value of d =
Calculus Page 11

Example Verify the following two important limits: (a) lim x = x0 (b) lim k = k (k constant).
x x 0 x x 0

Solution a) Let e > 0 be given. We must find d > 0 such that for all x 0 < | x - x0 | < d implies

| x - x0 | < e .
The implication will hold if d = e or any smaller positive number. This proves that lim x x0 x = x0

b) Let e > 0 be find d > 0 such that for all x, 0 < | x - x0 | < d implies | k - k | < e .

given. We must

Since k - k = 0 , we can use any positive number for d and the implication will hold. This proves that lim x -x0 k = k .

Finding Deltas Algebraically for Given Epsilons In the above examples, the interval of values about x0 for which | f ( x) - L | was less than e was symmetric about x0 and we could take d to be half the length of the interval. When such symmetry is absent, as it usually is, we can take d to be the distance from x0 to the intervals nearer endpoint.
Calculus Page 12

School of Distance Education

Example

For the limit lim x 5 x -1 = 2 , find a d > 0 that works for e = 1 .

Solution We have to find a d > 0 such that for all x

0 < | x - 5 | < d | x -1 - 2 | < 1 .


We organize the search into two steps. First we solve the inequality | x -1 - 2 | < 1 to find an interval (a, b) about x0 = 5 on which the inequality holds for all x x0 . Then we find a value of d > 0 that places the interval 5 - d < x < 5 + d (centered at x0 = 5 ) inside the interval (a, b) . Step 1 : We solve the inequality | x -1 - 2 | < 1 to find an interval about x0 = 5 on which the inequality holds for all x x0 .

| x -1 - 2 | < 1

-1 < x -1 - 2 < 1 1 < x -1 < 3


1 < x -1 < 9 2 < x < 10

The inequality holds for all x in the open interval (2, 10) , so it holds for all x 5 in this interval as well. of d > 0 that places the Step 2 : We find a value centered interval 5 - d < x < 5 + d inside the interval (2, 10) . The distance from 5 to the nearer endpoint of (2, 10) is 3. If we take d = 3 or any smaller positive number, then the inequality 0 < | x - 5 | < d will automatically place x between 2 and 10 to make | x -1 - 2 | < 1 .
0 < | x -5| < 3

| x -1 - 2 | < 1 .

Example

Prove that lim x 2 f ( x) = 4 if

x2 , x 2 f ( x) = 1, x = 2. Solution Our task is to show that given e > 0 there exists d > 0 such that for all x 0 < | x - 2 | < d | f ( x) - 4 | < e .
Step 1 : We solve the inequality | f ( x) - 4 | < e which the inequality holds for all x x0 . to find on open interval about x0 = 2 on

For x x0 = 2, we have f ( x) = x 2 , and the inequality to solve is | x 2 - 4 | < e :

| x2 - 4 | < e
-e < x 2 - 4 < e

4 - e < x2 < 4 + e

4 - e < | x | < 4 + e here we 1assume that e < 4

4 -e < x < 4 + e

this is an open interval about x0 = 2 that solves the inequality


Page 13

Calculus

School of Distance Education

The inequality f ( x) - 4 < e holds for all x 2 in the open interval interval ( 4 - e, 4 + e ) : Take d to be the distance from x0 = 2 to the nearer endpoint of words, take

( 4 - e,

4 +e .

Step 2 : We find a value of d > 0 that places the centered interval (2 - d , 2 + d ) inside the

( 4 - e,

4 +e .

In other

d = min 2 - 4 - e , 4 + e - 2 ,
the minimum (the smaller) of the two numbers 2 - 4 - e and 4 + e - 2 . If d has this or any smaller positive value, the inequality 0 < | x - 2 | < d will automatically place x between

4 - e and

4 + e to make | f ( x) - 4 | < e . For all x ,


0 <| x -2| <d

| f ( x) - 4 | < e .

This completes the proof. 1 We can assume e < 4 due to the following reason: In finding a d such that for all x , 0 < | x - 2 | < d implied | f ( x) - 4 | < e < 4 , we found a d that would work for any larger e as well. Finally, notice the freedom we gained in letting d = min{2 - 4 - e, 4 + e - 2} . We did not have to spend time deciding which, if either, number was the smaller of the two. We just let d represent the smaller and went on to finish the argument. Example Given that lim x c f ( x) = L and lim x c g ( x) = M , prove that
lim( f ( x) + g ( x )) = L + M .
x c

Solution Let e > 0 be given. We want to find a positive number d such that for all x 0 < | x -c | < d | f ( x) + g ( x) - ( L +M ) | < e . Regrouping terms, we get | f ( x ) + g ( x) - ( L + M ) = | ( f ( x) - L) + ( g ( x) - M ) |

| f ( x) - L | + | g ( x) - M | , using the
triangle inequality | a + b | | a | + | b | Since lim f ( x) = L , there exists a number d1 > 0 such that for all x
x c

0 < | x - c | < d1
Similarly, since

. 2 lim x c g ( x) = M , there exists a number d2 > 0 such that for all x

| f ( x) - L | <

0 < | x - c | < d2

| g ( x) - M | <

Let d = min{d1 , d2 } , the smaller of d1

. 2 and d2 . If 0 < | x - c | < d then | x - c | < d1 , so

| f ( x) - L | <

e

, and | x - c | < d2 , so | g ( x) - M | <

e

. Therefore

| f ( x) + g ( x) - ( L + M ) | < | f ( x) - L | + | g ( x) - M | <
This shows that

One-Sided Limits
Definition (Informal Definition of Right-hand and Left-hand Limits) Let f ( x) be defined on an interval (a, b) where a < b. If f ( x) approaches arbitrarily close to L as x approaches a from within that interval, then we say that f has right-hand limit L at a , and we write lim+ f ( x) = L .

Let f ( x) be defined on an interval (c, a) where c < a . If f ( x) approaches arbitrarily close to M as x approaches a , from within the interval (c, a ) , then we say that f has left-hand limit M at a , and we write lim- f ( x) = M .

A function cannot have an ordinary limit at an endpoint of its domain, but it can have a one-sided limit (This is illustrated in the following Example).

Example The domain of f ( x ) = 4 - x 2 is [ -2, 2] ; its graph is the semicircle in Fig. 7 We

4 - x 2 = 0 and lim 4 - x2 = 0 have lim + x 2 x 2

The function does not have a left-hand limit at x = -2 or a right-hand limit at x = 2. It does not have ordinary two-sided limits at either -2 or 2. One-sided limits have all the limit properties listed in Theorem 1, Chapter 1. The righthand limit of the sum of two functions is the sum of their right-hand limits, and so on. The theorems for limits of polynomials and rational functions hold with one-sided limits, as does the Sandwich Theorem. The connection between one-sided and two-sided limits is stated in the following theorem. Theorem 5 (One-sided vs. Two-sided Limits) A function f ( x) has a limit as x approaches c if and only if it has left-hand and right-hand limits there, and these one-sided limits are equal: lim f ( x) = L and lim f ( x) = L lim f ( x) = L +

Infinite Limits As x 0+ , the values of f grow without bound, eventually reaching and surpassing every positive real number. That is, given any positive real number B , however large, the values of f become larger still (Fig.10). Thus f has no limit as x 0+ . It is nevertheless convenient to describe the behavior of f by saying that f ( x) approaches as x 0+ . We write 1 = . lim f ( x) = lim x 0+ x 0+ x In writing this, we are not saying that the limit exists. Nor are we saying that there is a real 1 number , for there is no such number. Rather, we are saying that lim x 0+ x does not exist 1 because becomes arbitrarily large and positive as x 0+ . x

In parts (a) and (b) the effect of the zero in the denominator at x = 2 is canceled because the numerator is zero there also. Thus a finite limit exists. This is not true in part (f), where cancellation still leaves a zero in the denominator.

Precise Definitions of One-sides Limits


The formal definition of two-sided limit in Chapter 2 is readily modified for one-sided limits. Definition (Right-hand Limit) We say that f ( x) has right-hand limit L at x0 , and write
+ x x0

lim f ( x) = L

if for every number e > 0 there exists a corresponding number d > 0 such that for all x x0 < x < x0 + d | f ( x) - L | < e (1) Definition (Left-hand Limit) We say that f has left-hand limit L at x 0 , and write
x x0

lim f ( x) = L

if for every number e > 0 there exists a corresponding number d > 0 such that for all x x0 - d < x < x0 | f ( x) - L | < e (2) Definitions (Infinite Limits) 1. We say that f ( x) approaches infinity as x approaches x0 , and write
x x0

lim f ( x ) = ,

if for every positive real number B there exists a corresponding d > 0 such that for all x 0 < | x - x0 | < d f ( x) > B .

5. CONTINUITY
Continuity at a point
In practice, most functions of a real variable have domains that are intervals or unions of separate intervals, and it is natural to restrict our study of continuity to functions with these domains. This leaves us with only three kinds of points to consider: interior points (points

that lie in an open interval in the domain), left endpoints, and right endpoints. Definition A function f lim f ( x) = f (c) .
x c

is continuous at an interior point x = c of its domain if

The function in Fig.1 is continuous at x = 0 . The function in Fig.2 would be continuous if it had f (0) = 1 . The function in Fig.3 would be continuous if f (0) were 1 instead of 2. The discontinuities in Fig.2 and Fig.3 are removable. Each function has a limit as x 0 , and we can remove the discontinuity by setting f (0) equal to this limit.
1 has an infinite discontinuity. Jumps and infinite discontinuities x2 are the ones most frequently encountered, but there are others. Definition A function f is continuous at a left endpoint x = a of its domain if lim+ f ( x) = f (a) and continuous at a right endpoint x = b of its domain if lim f ( x) = f (b) . -

The function f ( x) =

x a

x b

In general, a function f is right-continuous (continuous from the right) at a point x = c in its domain if lim x c+ f ( x) = f (c) . It is left-continuous (continuous from the left) at c if

lim x c- f ( x) = f (c) . Thus, a function is continuous at a left endpoint a of its domain if it is


left-continuous at b . A function is continuous at an interior point c of its domain if and only if it is both right-continuous and left-continuous at c . Example 1 The function f ( x ) = 4 - x 2 is continuous at every point of its domain [ -2, 2] . This includes x = -2 , where f is right-continuous, and x = 2 , where f is left-continuous.

Continuity Test
A function f ( x) is continuous at x = c if and only if it meets the following three conditions. 1. 2. 3.
f (c) exists

( c lies in the domain of f ) ( f has a limit as x c ) (the limit equals the function value)

lim x c f ( x) exists lim x c f ( x) = f (c)

fg kf , where k is any number f (provided g (c) 0) g

(f ( x) )n

(provided ( f ( x)) n is defined on an interval containing c , and m and n are

Calculus Page 22

School of Distance Education

Every polynomial is continuous at every point of the real line. Every rational function is continuous at every point where its denominator is different from zero. Example The following functions are continuous everywhere on their respective domains. a) b)

y= x

Using Theorems 6 and 7 (rational power of a polynomial)

y = x 2 - 2 x - 5 Using Theorems 6 and 7, (power of a polynomial)

Example The functions f ( x) = x 4 + 20 and g ( x) = 5 x( x - 2) are continuous at every value of x . The function f ( x) x 4 + 20 r ( x) = = g ( x) 5 x( x - 2) is continuous at every value of x except x = 0 and x = 2 , where the denominator is 0. Example The function f ( x) = | x | is continuous at every value of x . If x > 0 , we have f ( x) = x , a polynomial. If x < 0 , we have f ( x ) = - x, another polynomial. Finally, at the origin, lim x 0 | x | = 0 = | 0 | = f (0) . Example (Continuity of trigonometric functions) The functions sin x and cos x are continuous at every value of x . Accordingly, the quotients sin x cos x tan x = cot x = cos x sin x 1 1 sec x = csc x = cos x sin x are continuous at every point where they are defined. Theorem 8 tells us that continuity is preserved under the operation of composition. Theorem 8 : Continuity of Composites If f is continuous at c , and g is continuous at f (c) , then g o f is continuous at c . Example The following functions are continuous every where on their respective domains. a) b)
y = x2 - 2x - 5

Continuous Extension to a Point


As we saw in Chapter 1, a rational function may have a limit even at a point where its denominator is zero. If f (c) is not defined, but lim x c f ( x) = L exists, we can define a new function F ( x) by the rule

f ( x) if x isin the domain of f F ( x) = if x = c. L The function F is continuous at x = c . It is called the continuous extension of f to x = c . For rational functions f , continuous extensions are usually found by canceling common factors.

Example

Show that

x2 + x - 6 x2 - 4 is not continuous at x = 2 , but has a continuous extension to x = 2 , and find that extension. Solution Since f (2) is not defined, f is not continuous at x = 2. Although f (2) is not defined, if x 2 we have x 2 + x - 6 ( x - 2)( x + 3) x + 3 . f ( x) = 2 = = ( x - 2)( x + 2) x + 2 x -4 f ( x) =

Continuity on Intervals
A function is called continuous if it is continuous everywhere in its domain. A function that is not continuous throughout its entire domain may still be continuous when restricted to particular intervals within the domain. A function f is said to be continuous on an interval I in its domain if lim x c f ( x) = f (c) at every interior point c and if the appropriate one-sided limits equal the function values at any endpoints I may contain. A function continuous on an interval I is automatically continuous on any interval contained in I . Polynomials are continuous on every interval, and rational functions are continuous on every interval on which they are defined. Example

The function y = 4 - x 2 is continuous on the interval [ -2, 2] . The function y =

1 is continuous on the intervals (- , 0) and (0, ) . x The function y = cos x is continuous on the interval (- , ) .

Theorem 9 : The Intermediate Value Theorem Suppose f ( x) is continuous on an interval I , and a and b are any two points of I . Then if y0 is a number between f ( a ) and f (b) , there exists a number c between a and b such that f (c) = y0 . Exercises At what points are the functions in Exercises 1-8 continuous?

CHAPTER 2

THE ROLLES AND MEAN VALUE THEOREMS


EXTREME VALUES OF FUNCTIONS Theorem 1 If f is continuous at every point of a closed interval I , then f assumes both an absolute maximum value M and an absolute minimum value m somewhere in I . That is, there are numbers x1 and x2 in I with f ( x1 ) = m, f ( x2 ) = M , and m f ( x ) M for every other x in I .
p p Example 1 On - 2 , 2 , the function f ( x) = cos x takes on a maximum value of 1 (once) and a minimum value of 0 (twice). The function g ( x) = sin x takes on a maximum value of 1 (once) and a minimum value of 1 (once) (Fig. 2).

Remark The requirements that the interval be closed and the function continuous are key ingredients of Theorem 1. On an open interval, a continuous function need not have either a maximum or a minimum value. For example, the function f ( x) = x has neither a largest nor a smallest value on (0, 1) . Even a single point of discontinuity can keep a function from having either a maximum or a minimum value on a closed interval. Definition Let f be a function with domain D . Then f has an absolute maximum value on D at a point c if f ( x ) f (c ) for all x in D and an absolute minimum value on D at c if f ( x ) f (c ) for all x in D . Absolute maximum and minimum values are called absolute extrema (or global extrema). Definition A function f has a local maximum value at an interior point c of its domain if
f ( x ) f (c )

for all x in some open interval containing c . A function f has a local minimum value at an interior point c of its domain if
f ( x) f (c) for all x in some open interval containing c .

Remarks We can extend the definitions of local extrema to the endpoints of intervals by defining f to have a local maximum or local minimum value at an endpoint c if the appropriate inequality holds for all x in some half-open interval in its domain containing c . In Fig. 5, the function f has local maxima at c and d and local minima at a , e and b .

An absolute maximum is also a local maximum. Being the largest value overall, it is also the largest value in its immediate neighborhood. Hence, a list of all local maxima will automatically include the absolute maximum if there is one. Similarly, a list of all minima will include the absolute minimum if there is one.

Calculus

Page 26

Theorem 2 If f has a local maximum or minimum value at an interior point c of its (c ) = 0 domain, and if f is defined at c, then f Definition An interior point of the domain of a function f where f is zero or undefined is a critical point of f . Remark The only domain points where a function can assume extreme values are critical points and endpoints. Example Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of f ( x) = x 2 on [ -2,1]. Solution The function is differentiable over its entire domain, so the only critical point is where f '( x) = 2 x = 0, namely x = 0 . We need to check the functions values at x = 0 and at the endpoints x = -2 and x = 1: Critical point value: f (0) = 0 ; Endpoint values:
f (-2) = 4 ; f (1) = 1.

The function has an absolute maximum value of 4 at x = -2 and an absolute minimum value of 0 at x = 0.

Example Find the absolute extrema values of g (t ) = 8t - t 4 on [ -2,1].


Solution The function is differentiable on its entire domain, so the only critical point occur where g '(t ) = 0 . Solving this equation gives
8 - 4t 3 = 0

or

t 3 = 2 or t = 21/ 3 ,

a point not in the given domain. The functions local extrema therefore occurs at the endpoints, where we find
g (-2) = -32 (Abs. minimum); g (1) = 7 (Abs. maximum)

Example Find the absolute extrema of h( x) = x 2 / 3 on [ -2,3].


( x) = 2 x -1/ 3 = 2 Solution The first derivative h 3 3x1/ 3 has no zeros but is undefined at x = 0. The values of h at this one critical point and at the endpoints x = -2 and x = 3 are
h(0) = 0 ;

h( -2) = ( -2) 3 = 4 3
1

and

h(3) = (3) 3 = 9 3 .

The absolute maximum value is 9 3 , assumed at x = 3 ; the absolute minimum is 0, assumed at x = 0 .

THE ROLLES AND MEAN VALUE THEOREMS


Theorem 1 (Rolles Theorem) Suppose that y = f ( x) is continuous at every point of the closed interval [ a, b] and differentiable at every point of its interior (a, b) . If
f (a ) = f (b) = 0,

then there is at least one number c in (a, b) at which

f (c) = 0.

Remark Instead of f (a ) = f (b) = 0, if f (a ) = f (b) = l 0, then also Rolles theorem holds.

The hypothesis of Rolles Theorem are essential. If they fail at even one point, the graph may not have a horizontal tangent.

Example Verify Rolles Theorem for the function f defined by


Calculus Page 27

School of Distance Education

(x) = (x - a)m (x - b)n, where m and n being positive integers and x [a, b]. Solution (x) = (x - a)m (x - b)n is a polynomial function in the variable x and since every polynomial function in the variable x is continuous, is continuous on [a, b]. Now differentiating with respect to x, we get, f ( x) = m( x - a ) m -1 ( x - b) n + n( x - a ) m ( x - b) n -1 i.e., (x) = (x - a)m - 1(x - b) n - 1 [(m(x - b) + n (x - a)], (1) again a polynomial function, so that (x) exists at every point in the open interval (a, b). Also (a) = 0 = (b). (c) = 0. Next to verify whether there exists a point C(c,(c)) at which f From (1), (x) = 0 implies (x - a)m 1(x - b) n - 1 [(m(x - b) + n (x - a)] = 0, which implies m(x - b) + n (x - a) = 0, since (x- a) 0, (x- b)0, as a < x < b, which implies that c =
mb + na , a point within the interval (a, b) dividing the interval m+n

in the ratio m : n. (c) = 0. Hence The conclusion is that there is a point c such that a< c< b, where f Rolles theorem is verified. Example Examine whether Rolle`s theorem can be applied to the function (x) = tan x for the interval [0, ]. Solution There is a discontinuity at x = p to the function f ( x) = tan x.

Also

f ( x) = sec 2 x

which does not exist at x = p .

HenceRolle`s theorem cannot be applied to f ( x) in [0, p ]. Theorem 2 (The Mean Value Theorem) Suppose y = (x) be a function of x subject to the conditions (1) is continuous in the closed interval [a, b]. (2) f is differentiable in the open interval (a, b) Then there is a point c in the open interval (a, b) at which
f (b) - f (a) (c). = f (2) b -a Proof We picture the graph of f as a curve in the plane and draw a line through the point A( a, f ( a )) and B (b, f (b)) The line is the graph of the function

f (b) - f (a) ( x - a) b -a (point-slope equation). The vertical difference between the graphs of f and g at x is h( x ) = f ( x ) - g ( x ) g ( x) = f ( a ) +

f (b) - f (a ) (3) ( x - a ). b -a The function h satisfies the hypotheses of Rolles theorem on [ a, b] : It is continuous on [ a, b] and differentiable on (a, b) because both f and g are. Also, h(a ) = h(b) = 0 because the graphs of f and g both pass through A and B . Therefore, h ' = 0 at some point c in (a, b) . This is the point we want for equation (2). To verify equation (2), we differentiate both sides of equation (3) with respect to x , and obtain = f ( x) - f (a) -

( x) = f ( x) h
Setting x = c, we obtain f (b) - f (a) h (c ) = f (c ) b -a

Example 6 Verify Lagranges mean value theorem for the function (x) = ex on [0, 1]. SolutionHere (x) = ex. Since the exponential function is continuous at every point on the real line, in particular is continuous in the closed interval [ 0,1]. Also (x) = x e exists in the open interval (0, 1). Hence by Lagranges mean value theorem , we have
(c ) = f f (1) - f (0) 1-0

i.e., ec = e - 1 so that c = log (e - 1), which lies in the open interval (0, 1). Hence Lagranges mean value theorem is verified for the given function. Example In the mean value theorem (a + h) = (a) + h (a + qh), show that q = (x) is a quadratic expression. Solution: Suppose f be the quadratic expression (x) = a x2 + b x + c, a 0 Then (x) = 2 ax + b By the mean value theorem, (a + h) = (a) + h (a + qh), 2 2 or a (a+h) + b(a + h) + c = aa + b a + c +h [2a (a+ q h) + b]

1 . 2 Example If a car accelerating from zero takes 8 sec to go 352 ft, its average velocity for the 8sec interval is 352/8 = 44 ft/sec. At some point during the acceleration, the Mean Value Theorem says, the speedometer must read exactly 30mph (44 ft/sec). Corollary 1 If f '( x) = 0 at each point of an interval I , then f ( x) = C for all x in I , where C is a constant. Proof We want to show that f has a constant value on I . We do so by showing that x1 and x2 are any two points in I , then f ( x1 ) = f ( x2 ).

i.e.,

ah2 = 2 ah2q Hence

q =

Suppose that x1 and x2 are two points in I , numbered from left to right so that x1 < x2 . Then f satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on [ x1 , x2 ]: It is differentiable at every point of [ x1 , x2 ], and hence continuous at every point as well. Therefore,

f ( x2 ) - f ( x1 ) (c ) = f x2 - x1
f ( x2 ) - f ( x1 ) = 0, or f ( x2 ) - f ( x1 ) = 0, x2 - x1

(4)

at some point c between x1 and x2 . Since f = 0 throughout I , (4) becomes

implies

f ( x1 ) = f ( x2 ).

Remark We know that if a function f has a constant value on an interval I , then f is differentiable on I and f '( x) = 0 for all x in I . Corollary 1 provides the converse. Corollary 2 If f '( x ) = g '( x ) at each point of an interval I , then there exists a constant C such that f ( x) = g ( x) + C for all x in I . Proof At each point x in I the derivative of the difference function h = f - g is
h '( x) = f '( x) - g '( x) = 0.

Thus, h( x) = C on I (Corollary 1). That is, f ( x) - g ( x) = C on I , so f ( x) = g ( x) + C . Remark Corollary 2 says that functions can have identical derivatives on an interval only if their values on the interval have a constant difference. We know, for instance, that the derivative of f ( x) = x 2 on (- , ) is 2x. Any other function with derivative 2x on (- , ) must have the formula x 2 + C for some value of C . Example Find the function f ( x) whose derivative is sin x and whose graph passes through the point (0, 2). Solution Since f ( x) has the same derivative as g ( x) = - cos x, we know that f ( x) = - cos x + C for some constant C . The value of C can be determined from the condition that f (0) = 2 (the graph of f passes through (0, 2) ). f (0) = - cos(0) + C = 2, or -1 + c = 2 so C = 3. The formula for f is f ( x ) = - cos x + 3. Definitions Let f be a function defined on an interval I and let x1 and x2 be any two points in I . 1. f increases on I if x1 < x2 f ( x1 ) < f ( x2 ).

2.

f decreases on I if x1 < x2 f ( x2 ) < f ( x1 ).

Corollary 3 Suppose that f is continuous on [ a, b] and differentiable on (a, b) If f ' > 0 at each point of (a, b) then f increases on [ a, b] . If f ' < 0 at each point of (a, b) , then f decreases on [ a, b] . Proof Let x1 and x2 be two points in [ a, b] with x1 < x2 . The Mean value Theorem applied to f on [ x1 , x2 ] says that

f ( x2 ) - f ( x1 ) = f (c)( x2 - x1 )

(5)

for some c between x1 and x2. The sign of the right- hand side of equation (5) is the same as the sign of f '(c ) because x2 - x1 is positive. Therefore, f ( x2 ) > f ( x1 ) if f is positive on (a, b) , and f ( x2 ) < f ( x1 ) if f is negative on (a, b). Example 11 The function f ( x) = x 2 decreases on ( - ,0) , where f '( x) = 2 x < 0. It increases on (0, ) , where f '( x) = 2 x > 0 . Exercises

THE FIRST DERIVATIVE TEST FOR LOCAL EXTREME VALUES


This chapter shows how to test a functions critical points for the presence of local extreme values.
Theorem 1 (The First Derivative Test for Local Extreme Values) The following test applies to a continuous function f ( x). At a critical point c : 1. If f ' changes from positive to negative at c ( f ' > 0 for x < c and f ' < 0 for x > c ), then f has a local maximum value at c. 2. If f ' changes from negative to positive at c ( f ' < 0 for x < c and f ' > 0 for x > c ), then f has a local minimum value at c.
Calculus Page 31

3. If f ' does not change sign at c ( f ' has the same sign on both sides of c), then f has no local extreme value at c . At a left endpoint a : If f ' < 0 ( f ' > 0) for x > a, then f has a local maximum (minimum) value at a. At a right endpoint b : If f ' < 0( f ' > 0) for x < b, then f has a local minimum (maximum) value at b. Example 1 Find the critical points of
1 4 1

f ( x) = x 3 ( x - 4) = x 3 - 4 x 3

Identify the intervals on which f is increasing and decreasing. Find the functions local and absolute extreme values. Solution The function f is defined for all real numbers and is continuous. The first derivative
1 1 -2 4 f '( x) = d x 3 - 4 x 3 ) = 4 x 3 - 4 x 3 3 dx 3

3x 3 is zero at x = 1 and undefined at x = 0 . There are no endpoints in f ' s domain, so the critical points, x = 0 and x = 1 , are the only places where f might have an extreme value of any kind. These critical points divide the x - axis into intervals on which f ' is either positive or negative. The sign pattern of f ' reveals the behavior of f both between and at the critical points. We display the information in a picture like the following.

= 4 x 3 ( x - 1) = 3

-2

4( x - 1)
2

To make the picture, we marked the critical points on the x - axis, noted the sign of each factors of f ' on the intervals between the points, and multiplied the signs of the factors to find the sign of f ' . We then applied Corollary 3 of the Mean Value Theorem to determine that f decreases (

) on

(- ,0), decreases on (0,1), and increases (

) on

(1, ). Theorem

1 tells us that f has no extreme at x = 0 (as f ' does not change sign) and that the f has a local minimum at x = 1 f ' changes from negative to positive ).

ASYMPTOTES Concavity and Convexity


A curve is said to be concave upwards (or convex downwards) at or near P when at all points near P on it lies above the tangent at P . A curve is said to be concave downwards (or convex upwards) at or near P when at all points near P it lies below the tangent at P (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) . The Second Derivative Test for Concavity Let y = f ( x) be twice differentiable on an interval I . 1. If y " > 0 on I , the graph of f over I is concave up. 2. If y " < 0 on I , the graph of f over I is concave down.

Example The curve y = x3 is concave down on ( - ,0) where y " = 6 x < 0 and concave up on (0, ) where y " = 6 x > 0
= 2 > 0. Example The parabola y = x 2 is concave up on every interval because y

Hence

is negative for all positive values x (and negative values of x are not admissible)

so that the curve in the neighbourhood of any specified point is concave downward (i.e., concave to the foot of the ordinate of that point). Points of Inflection A point of a curve at which the curve changes its direction from concave upwards to concave downwards as at P in Fig.7 or from concave downwards to concave upwards as at P1 in Fig.8, is called a point of inflection. The tangent at the point is called an inflectional tangent. Remark The curve crosses its tangent at a point of inflection. On the graph of a twice-differentiable function, y " = 0 at a point of inflection.

Asymptotes
An asymptote of a curve of infinite extent is a line whose position is approached as a limit by a tangent to the curve as the point of contact recedes indefinitely along the curve. Definition If the distance between the graph of a function and some fixed line approaches zero as the graph moves increasingly far from the origin, we say that the graph approaches the line asymptotically and that the line is an asymptote of the graph. Example Consider the hyperbola

List every relation in the picture and in the problem as an equation or algebraic expression. 4. Identify the unknown. Write an equation for it. If you can, express the unknown as a function of a single variable or in two equations in two unknowns. This may require considerable manipulation. 5. Test the critical points and endpoints. Use what you know about the shape of the functions graph and the physics of the problem. Use the first and second derivatives to identify and classify critical points (where f = 0 or does not exist). Whenever you are maximizing or minimizing a function of a single variable, we urge you to graph it over the domain that is appropriate to the problem you are solving. The graph will provide insight before you calculate and will furnish a visual context for understanding your answer. Example Find two positive numbers whose sum is 20 and whose product is as large as possible. Solution If one number is x, then the other is (20 - x). Their product is

f ( x) = x(20 - x) = 20 x - x 2 .
We want the value or values of x that make f ( x) as large as possible. The domain of f is the closed interval 0 x 20. We evaluate f at the critical points and endpoints. The first derivative,

f ( x) = 20 - 2 x,
is defined at every point of the interval 0 x 20 and is f ( x ) = 0 only at x = 10. Listing the values of f at this one critical point and the endpoints gives Critical-point value : Endpoint values :

f (10) = 20(10) - (10) 2 = 100


f (0) = 0, f (20) = 0.

We conclude that the maximum value is f (10) = 100. The corresponding numbers are x = 10 and (20 - 10) = 10 (Fig.1). Example 2 A rectangle is to be inscribed in a semicircle of radius 2. What is the largest area the rectangle can have, and what are its dimensions? Solution

Calculus

Page 45

To describe the dimensions of the rectangle, we place the semicircle and rectangle in the coordinate plane (Fig.2). The length, height, and area of the rectangle can then be expressed in terms of the position x of the lower right hand corner:
Length: 2 x
Height: 4 - x 2 Area: 2 x 4 - x2 .

Notice that the values of x are to be found in the interval 0 x 2. Now, our practical problem reduces to the mathematical problem of finding absolute maximum value of the continuous function
A( x ) = 2 x 4 - x 2

on the domain [0, 2]. We do this by examining the values of A at the critical points and endpoints. The derivative

dA = -2 x 2 + 2 4 - x 2 (1) dx 4 - x2 is not defined when x = 2 . The derivative (1) is equal to zero when -2 x 2 + 2 4 - x 2 = 0. 4 - x2
Multiplying both sides by 4 - x 2 . ,we get

-2 x 2 + 2(4 - x 2 ) = 0
8 - 4x2 = 0

x2 = 2

x = 2.
Of the two zeros, x = 2 and x = - 2, only x = 2 lies in the interior of As domain and makes the critical-point list. The values of A at the endpoints and at this one critical point are: Critical-point value: Endpoint values :

( 2 )= 2

2 4-2 =4

A(0) = 0, A(2) = 0.

The area has a maximum value of 4 when the rectangle is

4 - x 2 = 2 units high and

2 x = 2 2 units long. Example An open-top box is to be made by cutting small congruent squares from the corners of a 12-by-12-in. sheet of tin and bending up the sides. How large should the squares cut from the corners be to make the box hold as much as possible?

Solution
We take the corner squares are x inches on a side and hence the height of the open top box is x. Note that the volume of the box is V = hlw , where h is the height, l is the length and w is the width. Here h = x;
l = 12 - x - x = 12 - 2 x;

w = 12 - x - x = 12 - 2 x.

Hence the volume of the box is a function of the variable x:

V ( x) = x(12 - 2 x) 2 = 144 x - 48 x 2 + 4 x3 .
Calculus Page 46

Since the sides of the sheet of tin are only 12 in. long, 2x cannot exceed 12 and hence x 6 and the domain of V ( x) is the interval 0 x 6. A minimum value of 0 at x = 0 and x = 6 and a maximum near x = 2. To locate the exact point, we examine the first derivative of with respect to x : dV = 144 - 96 x + 12 x 2 = 12(12 - 8 x + x 2 ) = 12(2 - x ) (6 - x ). dx At the critical point dV = 0 , which gives x = 2 and x = 6 . Only x = 2 lies in the interior of dx the function domain and is the required critical- point. Critical-point value: V (2) = 128 . Endpoint values:
V (0) = 0, V (6) = 0

The maximum volume is 128 in3. The cut-out squares should be 2 in. on a side. COST AND REVENUE IN ECONOMICS Here we want to point out two of the many places where calculus makes a contribution to economic theory. The first has to do with the relationship between point, revenue (money received), and cost. Suppose that r ( x ) = the revenue from selling x items
c ( x ) = the cost of producing the x items

p ( x) = r ( x) - c( x) = the profit from selling x items.

The marginal revenue and marginal cost at this production level (items) are dr = marginal revenue dx dc = marginal cost. dx Next theorem is about the relationship of the profit to these derivatives. Theorem Maximum profit (if any) occurs at a production level at which marginal revenue equals marginal cost. Example The cost and revenue functions at a soft drink company are

c( x) = x 3 - 6 x 2 + 15 x, and r ( x) = 9 x
where x represents thousands of soft drink bottles. Is there a production level that will maximize companys profit? If so, what is it? Solution
r ( x ) = 9 x,

c( x) = x3 - 6 x 2 + 15 x

Differentiating with respect to x, we obtain r ( x) = 9, c ( x) = 3x 2 -12 x + 15

( x ) = c ( x) , which implies By the Theorem, maximum profit occurs when r


3 x 2 - 12 x + 15 = 9 3 x 2 - 12 x + 6 = 0

implies implies

3 x 2 - 12 x + 6 = 0 x2 - 4 x + 2 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation, we obtain x = 4 16 - 4 2 2

The possible production levels for maximum profit are x = 2 + 2 thousand units and x = 2 - 2 thousand units. A quick glance at the graphs in (Fig.) or at the corresponding values of r and c shows x = 2 + 2 to be a point of maximum profit and x = 2 - 2 to be a local maximum for loss. Theorem The production level (if any) at which average cost is smallest is a level at which the average cost equals the marginal cost. Example The cost function at a soft drink company is c( x) = x3 - 6 x 2 + 15 x ( x in thousands of units). Is there a production level that minimizes average cost? If so, what is it? Solution Cost : Marginal cost : Average cost :

c( x) = x3 - 6 x 2 + 15 x c ( x) = 3x 2 -12 x + 15

c( x) = x 2 - 6 x + 15 x By the Theorem, the production level is minimum at which average cost equals marginal cost. Hence
x 2 - 6 x + 15 = 3 x 2 - 12 x + 15

implies implies

2x2 - 6x = 0 2 x( x - 3) = 0

x = 0 or x = 3 implies Since x > 0, the only production level that might minimize average cost is three thousand units. We check the derivatives: c( x) Average cost = x 2 - 6 x + 15 x d c( x) = 2 x - 6 dx x

d 2 c( x) = 2 > 0. dx 2 x
The second derivative is positive, so x = 3000 units gives an absolute minimum.

LINEARIZATION AND APPROXIMATIONS


Definitions If f is differentiable at x = a, then the approximating function
L( x) = f ( a ) + f (a)( x - a)

(1)

is the linearization of f at a . The approximation


f ( x) L( x)

of f by L is the standard linear approximation of f at a . The point x = a is the center of the approximation. Example Find the linearization of f ( x) = 1 + x at x = 3 . Solution

Differentials
Definitions Let y = f ( x) be a differentiable function. The differential dx is an independent variable. The differential dy is
dy = f '( x)dx.

Example Find dy if
a) y = x5 + 37 x Solution a) dy = (5 x 4 + 37)dx b) dy = (3cos3 x ) dx Remark If dx 0 and we divide both sides of the equation dy = f '( x) dx by dx , we obtain the familiar equation b) y = sin 3 x

dy = f '( x). dx This equation says that when dx 0 , we can regard the derivative dy / dx as a quotient of differentials. We sometimes write df = f '( x ) dx in place of dy = f '( x) dx , and call df the differential of f . For instance,
if f ( x) = 3 x 2 - 6 , then

df = d (3 x 2 - 6) = 6 xdx.
Every differentiation formula like has corresponding differential form like d (u + v) = du + dv, obtained by multiplying both sides by dx . Formulas for differentials

The Differential Estimate of Change


Let f ( x ) be differentiable at x = x0 . The approximate change in the value of f when x changes from x0 to x0 + dx is

df = f '( x0 )dx.

Example The radius r of a circle increases from r0 = 10 m to 10.1m. Estimate the increase in the circles area A by calculating dA . Compare this with the true change D A
Solution Since A = p r 2 , the estimated increase is

dA = A '(r0 )dr = 2p r0 dr = 2p (10)(0.1) = 2p m 2 .


The true change is

D A = p (10.1) 2 - p (10) 2 = (102.01 - 100)p = 2 p + 0.01 p. { {


dA error

Absolute, Relative, and Percentage Change As we move from x0 to a nearby point x0 + dx , we can describe the change is f in three ways: True Estimate Df = f ( x0 + dx) - f ( x0 ) df = f '( x0 )dx Absolute change Relative change Percentage change

Df f ( x0 )

Example Show that the relative error in computing the volume of a sphere due to an error in measuring the radius is approximately equal to three times the relative error in the radius. Solution Let V be the volume and r be the radius of the sphere. Then they are related by the equation . . . (1) V = 4 p r3 . 3 Taking logarithms on both sides of (1), we obtain
log V = log 4 p + 3 log r 3

( )

Now taking differentials, we get dV = 3 dr , V r since the differential of the constant log 4 p is 0. 3 \ the error relation is D V = 3 Dr , . . . (2) V r DV Dr where is the relative error in computing the volume and is the relative error in V r computing the radius. The error relation (2) simply says that the relative error in computing the volume of a sphere due to an error in measuring the radius is approximately equal to three times the relative error in the radius.

( )

Example About how accurately should we measure the radius r of a sphere to calculate the surface area S = 4p r 2 within 1% of its true value?
Solution We want any inaccuracy in our measurement to be small enough to make the corresponding increment DS in the surface area satisfy the inequality
2 | DS | 1 S = 4p r . 100 100 We replace DS in this inequality with

dS dS = dr = 8p rdr. dr

This gives
2 2 | 8p rdr | 4p r , or | dr | 1 . 4p r = 1 r . 100 8p r 100 2 100 We should measure r with an error dr that is no more than 0.5% of the true value.

Example The volume V of fluid flowing through a small pipe or tube in a unit of time at a fixed pressure is a constant time the fourth power of the tubes radius r. How will a 10% increase in r affect V?
Solution
V = kr 4 . Here we can take The differential of r and V are related by the equation
Calculus Page 51

School of Distance Education

dV = dV dr = 4kr 3 dr . dr
Hence,

dV = 4kr 3 dr = 4 dr . V kr 4 r

The relative change in V is 4 times relative change in r, so a 10% increase in r will produce a 40% increase in the flow.
Example The radius of a sphere is found to be 10 cms, with a possible error of 0.02 cms. What is the relative error in the computed volume? Solution If V is the volume and r is the radius of the sphere,
4 V = p r3 3

Taking logarithms, we get, p ) + 3 log r. log V = log ( 4 3 Taking differentials on both sides,
dV dr =3 V r

The error relation is

DV Dr =3 V r

approximately.

Given Dr = 0.02, when r = 10.


\

DV 0.02 = 3 = .006 V 10

Hence, relative error in the volume = 0.006. Example ABCD is a regular protractor in which AB = 6 inches, BC = 2 inches and O is the mid-point of AB. An angle BOP is indicated by a mark P on the edge CD .

Riemann Sums
Given an arbitrary continuous function y = f ( x ) on an interval [ a, b] , we partition the interval into n subintervals by choosing n - 1 points, say x1 , x2 , K, xn -1 , between a and b subject only to the condition that a < x1 < x2 < L < xn -1 < b . To make the notation consistent, we usually denote a by x0 and b by xn . The set

P = {x0 , x1 , K, xn }
Calculus Page 55

School of Distance Education

is called a partition of [ a, b] . The partition P defines n closed subintervals [ x0 , x1 ], [ x1 , x2 ], K, [ xn -1 , xn ]. The typical closed subinterval [ xk -1 , xk ] is called the k th subinterval of P . The length of the k th subinterval is Dxk = xk - xk -1 . In each subinterval [ xk -1 , xk ] , we select a point ck and construct a vertical rectangle from the subinterval to the point (ck , f (ck )) on the curve y = f ( x ) . The choice of ck does not matter as long as it lies in [ xk -1 , xk ] . If f (ck ) is positive, the number f (ck )Dxk = height base is the area of the rectangle. If f (ck ) is negative, then f (ck )Dxk is the negative of the area. In any case, we add the n products f (ck )Dxk to form the sum

S p = f (ck )Dxk .
k =1

This sum, which depends on P and the choice of the numbers ck , is called a

Riemann

sum for f on the interval [a, b].


As the partitions of [ a, b] become finer, the rectangles defined by the partition approximate the region between the x -axis and the graph of f with increasing accuracy. So we expect the associated Riemann sums to have a limiting value. To test this expectation, we need to develop a numerical way to say that partitions become finer and to determine whether the corresponding sums have a limit. We accomplish this with the following definitions. The norm of a partition P is the partitions longest subinterval length. It is denoted by

(read the norm of P).

The way to say that successive partitions of an interval become finer is to say that the norms of these partitions approach zero. As the norms go to zero, the subintervals become shorter and their number approaches infinity. Example The set P = {0, 0.2, 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2} is a partition of [0, 2] . There are five subintervals of P :[0, 0.2], [0.2,0.6], [0.6, 1], [1, 1.5] , and [1.5, 2]. The lengths of the subintervals are Dx1 = 0.2, Dx2 = 0.4, Dx3 = 0.4, Dx4 = 0.5, and Dx5 = 0.5. The longest subinterval length is 0.5, so the norm of the partition is

P = 0.5 . In this

example, there are two subintervals of this length. Definition (The Definite integral as a Limit of Riemann Sums) Let f ( x ) be a function defined on a closed interval [ a, b] . We say that the limit of the Riemann sums

n k =1

f (ck )Dxk on [ a, b] as P 0 is the number I if the following condition

is satisfied: Given any number e > 0 , there exists a corresponding number d > 0 such that for every partition P of [ a, b]

for any choice of the numbers ck in the subintervals [ xk -1 , xk ] . If the limit exists, we write

lim f (ck )Dxk = I .


P 0 k =1

We call I the definite integral of f over [ a, b] , we say that f is integrable over [ a, b] , and we say that the Riemann sums of f on [ a, b] converge to the number I . We usually write I as limit exists,

f ( x) dx , which is read integral of f from a to b . Thus, if the

partitions change and the arbitrary choice of ck s in the intervals of each new partition, the Theorem (The Existence of Definite Integrals) All continuous functions are integrable. That is, if a function f is continuous on an interval [ a, b] , then its definite integral over [ a, b] exists.

Functions with No Riemann Integral


The function
1 when x is rational f ( x) = 0 when x is irrational, has no Riemann integral over [0, 1] . For any partition P of [0, 1] , the upper and lower sums are

U = max k Dxk = 1 Dxk = Dxk = 1 , as every subinterval contains a rational number


and hence max k = 1

L = min k Dxk = 0 Dxk = 0 , as every subinterval contains an irrational number and


hence min k = 0 . For the integral of f to exist over [0, 1], U and L would have to have the same limit as

P 0 . But they do not:


lim L = 0
P 0

while

lim U = 1 .
P 0

Therefore, f has no integral on [0,1] . No constant multiple kf has an integral either, unless k is zero. Example Express the limit of Riemann sums
2 lim (3ck - 2ck + 5)Dxk P 0 k =1 n

as an integral if P denotes a partition of the interval [ -1, 3] . Solution The function being evaluated at ck in each term of the sum is f ( x) = 3 x 2 - 2 x + 5 . The interval being partitioned is [ -1, 3] . The limit is therefore the integral of f from -1 to 3:

The Area Under the Graph of a Nonnegative Function


Definition Let f ( x ) 0 be continuous on [ a, b] . The area of the region between the graph of f and the x -axis is

A=

f ( x) dx .

Whenever we make a new definition, as we have here, consistency becomes an issue. Does the definition that we have just developed for nonstandard shapes give correct results for standard shapes? The answer is yes, but the proof is complicated and we will not go into it. Example Using an area, evaluate the definite integral

x dx, 0 < a < b .

Solution We sketch the region under the curve y = x , a x b , and see that it is a trapezoid with height (b - a ) and bases a and b . The value of the integral is the area of this trapezoid:

x dx = (b - a )

Example Use a definite integral to find the area of the region between the parabola y = x 2 and x -axis on the interval [0, b] . Solution We evaluate the integral for the area as a limit of Riemann sums.
Calculus Page 58

We sketch the region (a nonstandard shape) and partition [0, b] into n subintervals of (b - 0) b = . The points of the partition are length Dx = n n x0 = 0, x1 = Dx, x2 = 2Dx, K , xn -1 = (n -1)Dx, xn = nDx = b . We are free to choose the ck s any way we please. We choose each ck to be the right-hand endpoint of its subinterval, a choice that leads to manageable arithmetic. Thus, c1 = x1 , c2 = x2 , and so on. The rectangles defined byFig. these 8 choices have areas

f (c1 )Dx = f (Dx)Dx = (Dx) 2 Dx = (12 )(Dx)3 f (c2 )Dx = f (2Dx)Dx = (2Dx) 2 Dx = (22 )( Dx)3

Example Express the solution of the following initial value problem as an integral. dy Differential equation: = tan x dx y (1) = 5 Initial condition : Solution The function

F ( x) =

1 tan t dt

is an antiderivative of tan x . Hence the general solution of the equation is

y=

1 tan t dt + C

As always, the initial condition determines the value of C :

5=

1 tan t dt + C

y (1) = 5

5 =0 +C C = 5.

(2)

The solution of the initial value problem is y =

1 tan t dt + 5 .

How did we know where to start integrating when we constructed F ( x ) ? We could have started anywhere, but the best value to start with is the initial value of x (in this case x = 1 ). Then the integral will be zero when we apply the initial condition (as it was in Eq. 2) and C will automatically be the initial value of y .

The average value of the voltage over a full cycle is zero. If we measured the voltage with a standard moving-coil galvanometer, the meter would read zero. To measure the voltage effectively, we use an instrument that measures the square root of the average value of the square of the voltage, namely.

APPLICATIONS OF INTEGRATION
AREAS BETWEEN CURVES
Definition If f and g are continuous with f ( x) g ( x) throughout [a, b], then the area of the region between the curves y = f ( x) and y = g ( x) from a to b is the integral of [ f - g ] from a to b :

A=

[ f ( x) - g ( x)]dx.
b a

(1)

To apply Eq. (1) we take the following steps. Algorithm : Finding the area between two curves Step 1. Graph the curves and draw a representative rectangle. This reveals which curve is f (upper curve) and which is g (lower curve). It also helps find the limits of integration if we do not already know them. Step 2. Find the limits of integration. Step 3. Write a formula for f ( x) - g ( x). Simplify it if we can. Step 4. Integrate [ f ( x) - g ( x)] from a to b. The number we get is the area. Example 1 Find the area between y = sec 2 x and y = sin x from 0 to p / 4.

Solution Step 1: We sketch the curves and a vertical rectangle (Fig.1). The upper curve is the graph of f ( x) = sec 2 x; the lower is the graph of g ( x) = sin x. Step 2: The limits of integration are already given a = 0, b = p / 4. Step 3:

f ( x) - g ( x) = sec 2 x - sin x.
Step 4:

A=

p /4

/4 (sec 2 x - sin x)dx = [tan x + cos x]p 0

2 2 = 1 + . - [0 + 1] = 2 2

Example 2 Find the area of the region enclosed by the parabola y = 2 = x 2 and the line y = -x. Solution In this example the limits of integration is not explicitly given. But, since the region is determined by curves that intersect, the intersection points give the limits of integration. Step 1 Sketch the curves and a vertical rectangle. Identifying the upper and the lower curves, we take f ( x) = 2 - x 2 and g ( x) = - x. The x - coordinates of the intersection points are the limits of integration.
Calculus Page 70

School of Distance Education

Step 2 We find the limits of integration by solving y = 2 - x 2 and y = -x simultaneously for x :


2 - x 2 = -x

implies implies implies Step 3

x2 - x - 2 = 0 ( x + 1)( x - 2) = 0 x = -1, x = 2.

The region runs from x = -1 to x = 2. The limits of integration are a = -1, b = 2.

f ( x) - g ( x) = (2 - x 2 ) - ( -x) = 2 - x 2 + x
= 2 + x - x2 .

Example 3 Find the area of the region in the first quadrant that is bounded above by y = x and below by the x - axis and the line y = x - 2. Solution Step 1 The regions upper boundary is the graph of f ( x) = x. The lower boundary changes from g ( x) = 0 for 0 x 2 to g ( x) = x - 2 for 2 x 4 (there is agreement at x = 2). We partition the region at x = 2 into subregions A and B and sketch a representative rectangle for each subregion. Step 2 The limits of integration for region A are a = 0 and b = 2. The left-hand limit for region B is a = 2. To find the right-hand limit, we solve the equations y = x and y = x - 2 simultaneously for x :

Integration with Respect to y


If a regions bounding curves are described by y, functions of the approximating rectangles are horizontal instead of vertical and the basic formula has y in place of x. Example By integrating with respect to y , find the area of the region in the first quadrant that is bounded above by y = x and below by the x - axis and the line y = x - 2. Solution Step 1 We sketch the region and a typical horizontal rectangle based on a partition of an interval of y - values (Fig.4). The regions right-hand boundary is the line x = y + 2, so f ( y ) = y + 2. The left-hand boundary is the curve x = y 2 , so g ( y ) = y 2 . Step 2 The lower limit of integration is y = 0. We find the upper limit by solving x = y + 2 and

x = y 2 simultaneously for y : y + 2 = y2

The upper limit of integration is b = 2. (The value y = -1 gives a point of intersection below the x - axis and we do not consider). Step 3

Since the ellipse is symmetrical about the axes, the required volume is twice that of the volume obtained by revolving the part of the ellipse in the first quadrant about the x-axis.

Since y = 0 at the contact of the curve with the x axis, we have 0 = y = sin x implies x = np, for any integer n. This implies in particular (substituting n = 0 and n = 1) that an arch of the curve lies between x = 0 and x= p. Hence the volume of revolution of this arch is given by

where r is the radius from the axis of revolution to an element of arc length ds . In any particular problem, we would then express the radius function r and the arc length differential ds in term of a common variable and supply limits of integration for that variable. Example 6 Find the area of the surface generated by revolving the curve y = x 3 ,0 x 1/ 2, about the x - axis . Solution We start with the short differential form:
S = 2pr ds = 2p yds For revolution about the x-axis, the radius function is r = y.

= 2p y dx 2 + dy 2 , as

ds = dx 2 + dy 2

We then decide whether to express dy in terms of dx or dx in terms of dy . The original form of the equation, y = x 3 , makes it easier to express dy in terms of dx , so we continue the calculation with
y = x 3 , dy = 3 x 2 dx, and dx 2 + dy 2 = dx 2 + (3 x 2 dx) 2

CHAPTER 8

MOMENTS AND WORK Moments and Centers of Mass


Definition If an object of mass m is placed in a location where the acceleration of gravity is g , the objects weight there is F = mg (as in Newtons second law). Masses Along a Line Consider masses m1 , m2 , and m3 on a rigid x - axis supported by a fulcrum at the origin. The resulting system may or may not balance depending on how large the masses are and how they are arranged. Each mass mk exerts a downward force mk g equal to the magnitude of the mass times the acceleration of gravity. Each of these forces has a tendency to turn the axis about the origin, the way you turn a seesaw. This turning effect, called a torque, is measured by multiplying the force mk g by the signed distance xk from the point of application to the origin. Masses to the left of the origin exert negative (counterclockwise) torque. Masses to the right of the origin exert positive (clockwise) torque. The sum of the torques measures the tendency of a system to rotate about the origin. This sum is called the system torque. (1) System torque = m1 gx1 + m2 gx2 + m3 gx3 . The system will balance if and only if its torque is zero. If we factor out the g in Eq. (1), we obtain System torque = g (m1 x1 + m2 x2 + m3 x3 ). (2) Thus the torque is the product of the gravitational acceleration g, which is a feature of the environment in which the system happens to reside, and the number (m1 x1 + m2 x2 + m3 x3 ), which is a feature of the system itself, a constant that stays the same no matter where the system is placed. The number (m1 x1 + m2 x2 + m3 x3 ) is called the moment of the system about the origin. It is the sum of the moments m1 x1 , m2 x2 , m3 x3 of the individual masses.

M O = Moment of system about origin = mk xk


We usually want to know where to place the fulcrum to make the system balance, that is, at what point x to place it to make the torque zero.
Calculus Page 87

School of Distance Education

The torque of each mass about the fulcrum in this special location is given by: Torque of mk about x = (signed distance of mk from x ) (downward force)

= ( xk - x ) mk g.
When we write the equation that says that the sum of these torques is zero, we get an equation we can solve for x :

( x - x ) m g = 0, as sum of the torques equals zero g ( x - x ) m = 0, using Constant Multiple Rule for Sums (m x - xm ) = 0, as g divided out, m distributed m x - xm = 0, using difference rule for sums m x = x m , by rearrangement and applying constant Multiple rule again m x . x= m

This last equation tells us to find x by dividing the systems moment about the origin by the systems total mass:

Formula for center of mass of One Dimensional Objectsc.m. of Wires and Thin Rods Imagine a long, thin strip lying along the x - axis from x = a to x = b and cut into small pieces of mass Dmk by a partition of the interval [a, b]. The kth piece is Dxk units long and lies approximately xk units from the origin. Now observe three things. First, the strips center of mass x is nearly the same as that of the system of point masses we would get by attaching each mass Dmk to the point xk .
x system m om ent . system m ass

Second, the moment of each piece of the strip about the origin is approximately xk Dmk , so the system moment is approximately the sum of the xk Dmk : System moment xk Dmk . Third, if the density of the strip at xk is d ( xk ), expressed in terms of mass per unit length, and d is continuous, then Dmk is approximately equal to d ( xk )Dxk (mass per unit length times length): Dmk d ( xk )Dxk . Combining these three observations gives

The sum in the last numerator in Eq. (2) is a Riemann sum for the continuous function xd ( x ) over the closed interval [a, b]. The sum in the denominator is a Riemann sum for the function d ( x) over this interval.

Masses Distributed over a Plane Region c.m. of Two Dimensional Objects


Suppose we have a finite collection of masses located in the plane, with mass mk at the point ( xk , yk ) . The mass of the system is given by System mass : M = mk . Each mass mk has a moment about each axis. Its moment about the x - axis is mk yk , and its moment about the y - axis is mk xk . The moments of the entire system about the two axes are Moment about x - axis : M x = mk yk , Moment about y - axis : M y = mk xk . The x - coordinate of the systems center of mass is defined to be

x=

M y mk xk = . M mk

(4)

With this choice of x , as in the one-dimensional case, the system balances about the line x=x . The y - coordinate of the systems center of mass is defined to be

y=

M x mk yk = . M mk

(5)

With this choice of y , the system balances about the line y = y as well. The torques exerted by the masses about the line y = y cancel out. Thus, as far as balance is concerned,

. We call this point the the system behaves as if all its mass were at the single point (x , y )
systems center of mass.

Thin, Flat Plates


In many applications, we need to find the center of mass of a thin, flat plate: a disk of aluminum, say, or a triangular sheet of steel. In such cases we assume the distribution of mass to be continuous, and the formulas we use to calculate x and y contain integrals instead of finite sums. The integrals arise in the following way. Imagine the plate occupying a region in the xy - plane, cut into thin strips parallel to one %, y % ). We treat the of the axes (in Fig.8, the y - axis). The center of mass of a typical strip is ( x %, y % ). The moment of the strip about the y strips mass Dm as if it were concentrated at ( x % % Dm. Equations (4) and (5) axis is then xDm. The moment of the strip about the x - axis is y then become

As in the one-dimensional case, the sums are Riemann sums for integrals and approach these integrals as limiting values as the strips into which the plate is cut become narrower and narrower. We write these integrals symbolically as

Example 4 Find the center of mass of a thin plate of constant density covering the region bounded above by the parabola y = 4 - x 2 and below by the x - axis. Solution Since the plate is symmetric about the y - axis and its density is constant, the distribution of mass is symmetric about the y - axis and the center of mass lies on the y axis. This means that x = 0. It remains to find y = M x / M . A trial calculation with horizontal strips leads to an inconvenient integration

M x = 2d y 4 - y dy.

WORK
When a body moves a distance d along a straight line as a result of being acted on by a force of constant magnitude F in the direction of motion, we calculate the work W done by the force on the body with the formula (constant-force formula for work)
W = Fd . . . . (1) Right away we can see a considerable difference between what we are used to calling work and what this formula says work is. If you push a car down the street, you will be doing work on the car, both by your own reckoning and by Eq. (1). But if you push against the car and the car does not move, Eq. (1) says you will do no work on the car, even if you push for an hour. Example If you jack up the side of a 2000-lb car 1.25 ft to change a tire (you have to apply a constant vertical force of about 1000 lb) you will perform 1000 1.25 = 1250 ft-lb of work on the car. In SI units, you have applied a force of 4448 N through a distance of 0.381m to do 4448 0.381 1695 j of work.

Hookes Law for Spring:

Hookes law says that the force it takes to stretch or compress a spring x length units from its natural (unstressed) length is proportional to x. In symbols, F = kx . . . (3)
Calculus Page 93

School of Distance Education

The constant k, measured in force units per unit length, is a characteristic of the spring, called the force constant (or spring constant) of the spring. Hookes law (Eq. 3) gives good results as long as the force doesnt distort the metal in the spring. We assume that the forces in this section are too small to do that. Example Find the work required to compress a spring from its natural length of 1 ft to a length of 0.75 ft if the force constant is k = 16 lb/ft . Solution We picture the uncompressed spring laid out along the x-axis with its movable end at the origin and its fixed end at x = 1ft (Fig.2). This enables us to describe the force required to compress the spring from 0 to x with the formula F = 16 x . To compress the spring from 0 to 0.25ft , the force must increase from
F (0) = 16 0 = 0lb to F (0.25) = 16 0.25 = 4lb .

The work done by F over this interval is

Example A spring has a natural length of 1 m. A force of 24 N stretches the spring to a spring to a length of 1.8 m. a) Find the force constant k. b) How much work will it take to stretch the spring 2m beyond it natural length? c) How far will a 45-N force stretch the spring? Solution a) The force constant: We find the force constant from Eq. (3). A force of 24 N stretches the spring 0.8 m, so 24 = k (0.8) , Eq.(3) with F = 24, x = 0.8
k = 24 / 0.8 = 30 N / m

b) The work to stretch the spring 2m.: We imagine the unstressed spring hanging along the xaxis with its free end at x = 0 (Fig.3). The force required to stretch the spring x m beyond its natural length is the force required to pull the free end of the spring x units from the origin. Hookes law with k = 30 says that this force is F ( x) = 30 x. The work done by F on the spring from x = 0 m to x = 2 m is

W = 30 x dx = 15 x 2 = 60J. 0 0

c) How far will a 45-N force stretch the spring? We substitute F = 45m equation F = 30 x to find 45 = 30 x, or x = 1.5m. A 45-N force will stretch the spring 1.5m. No calculus is required to find out. Pumping Liquids from containers How much work does it take to pump all or part of the liquid from a container? To find out, we imagine lifting the liquid out one thin horizontal slab at a time and applying the
Calculus Page 94

equation W = Fd to each slab. We then evaluate the integral that leads to as the slabs become thinner and more numerous. The integral we get each time depends on the weight of the liquid and the dimensions of the container, but the way we find the integral is always the same. We illustrate this is in the coming examples. The Weight of Water Because of variations in the earths gravitational field, the weight of a cubic foot of water at sea level can vary from about 62.26 lb at the equator to as much as 62.59 lb near the poles, a variation of about 0.5%. The weight of a cubic meter of water is 9800 N. Example How much work does it take to pump the water from a full upright circular cylindrical tank of radius 5m and height 10m to a level of 4m above the top of the tank? Solution The typical slab between the planes at y and y + Dy has volume of

DV = p (radius) 2 (thickness) = p (5) 2 Dy = 25p Dy m3 .


The force F required to lift the slab is equal to its weight,
F = 9800DV , as water weighs 9800 N/ m3 .
= 9800(25p Dy ) = 245,000p Dy N.

The distance through which F must act is about (14 - y ) m, so the work done lifting the slab is about DW = force distance = 245,000p (14 - y ) Dy J. The work it takes to lift all the water is approximately

as Weight = weight per unit volume volume The distance through which F ( y ) must act to lift this slab to the level of the rim of the cone is about (10 - y ) ft, so the work done lifting the slab is about
