MATH 2300 – review problems for Exam 1 ANSWERS
sin x cos x dx in each of the following ways: This one is self-explanatory; we
(a) Integrate by parts, with u = sin x and dv = cos x dx. The integral you get on the right should
look much like the one you started with, so you can solve for this integral.
(b) Integrate by parts, with u = cos x and dv = sin x dx.
(e) First use the fact that sin x cos x = 1 sin(2x), and then antidifferentiate directly.
(f) Show that answers to parts (a)–(e) of this problem are all the same. It may help to use the
identities cos2 x + sin2 x = 1 and cos(2x) = 1 − 2 sin2 x.
2. Let f (x) be a continuous function on the set of all real numbers. Show that
We put u = ex, so that du = ex dx. Also, when x = 0, u = e0 = 1; when x = 1, u = e1 = e. So
is improper. The integrand becomes infinite at x = 2.
(3 − 2t)dt I think it was supposed to say f (3 − 2t), not just (3 − 2t). If so, the answer is 5/2.

9. Using the table, estimate the total distance traveled from time t = 0 to time t = 6 using the
trapezoidal rule and the midpoint rule. Divide the interval [0, 6] into three equal parts.
Trapezoidal Rule:∆x = 2(2)( v(0)+v(2) + v(2)+v(4) + v(4)+v(6) ) = (4 + 6) + (6 + 9) + (9 + 3) = 37 meters
Midpoint Rule:∆x = 2(2)(v(1) + v(3) + v(5)) = (2)(5 + 8 + 5) = 36 meters
10. Consider the function f (x) = x2 + 3 on the interval [0, 1]. Determine whether each of the following

Make sure you can show the partial fraction decomposition.
13. Suppose f (x) is a function whose graph looks like this:
Suppose the approximations LEFT(100), RIGHT(100), MID(100), and TRAP(100) yield the follow-
f (x) dx : 0.3423, 0.3857, 0.3866, 0.4920, but not necessarily in that order. Which
estimate do you think came from which method? Between which two estimates do you think the true

14. For this set of problems, state which techniques are useful in evaluating the integral. You may choose
from: integration by parts; partial fractions; long division; completing the square; trig substitution;or another substitution. There may be multiple answers.
15. This problem relies on the following graph:
f (x) dx with the left, right, midpoint, and trapezoid approxima-
tions. (If the picture was drawn correctly, you should find that they’re all equal.) All methods givean estimate of 4.
(a) Both the left and right approximations with two rectangles underestimate the actual value
How is this possible (i.e., why isn’t one of them an overestimate)?
function is sometimes increasing, sometimes decreasing on [0, 4].
(b) Both the midpoint and trapezoid approximations with two rectangles underestimate the actual
value of the integral. How is this possible (i.e., why isn’t one of them an overestimate)? Becausethe function is sometimes concave up, sometimes concave down on [0, 4].

where t is the number of seconds since the injection started.
(a) By letting t → ∞, estimate the total quantity of Imitrex injected.
(b) What fraction of this dose has the patient received at the end of 5 seconds? About 99.95%

(a) Find the total amount of oil produced in the first N years of operation.
Be−N −2πeN + sin(2πN ) + 2π cos(2πN )

(c) From your answer to part (b), find the average amount of oil produced per year as N → ∞. A
(d) Looking at the function R(t), explain how you might have predicted your answer to part (c)
without doing any calculations. Because Be−t sin(2πt) → 0 as t → ∞
(e) Do you think it is reasonable to expect this model to hold over a very long period? nope

days. Find the total population of bacteria after 20 days. 1+59e60 = 7.48649 × 1026
20. Recall that the error in the tangent line approximation to f (x) at x = a is given by
E(x) = f (x) − f (a) − f (a)(x − a).
