Directions: Show your work! Answers without justification will likely result in few points. Your written work also allows me the option of giving you partial credit in the event of an incorrect final answer (but good reasoning). Indicate clearly your answer to each problem (e.g., put a box around it). Good luck!

Problem 1 (25 pts). Calculate the following integrals using an appropriate integration technique (not including your calculator!).

Problem 2 (10 pts). Match the plots shown in figure (1) to one of the following polar equations. Indicate the direction of the motion as tex2html_wrap_inline694 increases.

If we number the plots by quadrant (that is, the top right is I, top left II, bottom left III, and bottom right IV), then the matches are given below. All motions are in the counter-clockwise sense.

  1. tex2html_wrap_inline696 - IV. This is the only unbounded function.
  2. tex2html_wrap_inline698 - none
  3. tex2html_wrap_inline700 - II - it passes through Cartesian point (1,0)
  4. tex2html_wrap_inline702 - I - it passes through Cartesian point (2,0)
  5. tex2html_wrap_inline704 - III - multiple passes through the origin.

Problem 3 (5 pts). Given these trigonometric identities

displaymath602

deduce the following half angle and double angle formulas:

  1. tex2html_wrap_inline706

    displaymath603

    using Pythagoras ( tex2html_wrap_inline708 ) we conclude that

    displaymath604

    and hence that

    displaymath605

    so that tex2html_wrap_inline706

  2. tex2html_wrap_inline712

    Similarly,

    displaymath606

    so

    displaymath607

    from which we conclude that tex2html_wrap_inline712

Problem 4 (10 pts). Recall that the parametric equations of the cycloid are

displaymath609

Set up, simplify, and solve an integral for the length of one arch of the cycloid. Show your work!

Problem 5 (5 pts). Demonstrate that the surface area of a unit sphere is tex2html_wrap_inline718 .

The surface area of the unit sphere is given by rotating the top half of the unit circle about the x-axis. The equation is given by

displaymath614

and we use the surface area formula

displaymath615

Hence

displaymath616

displaymath617

Problem 6 (5 pts). Find the partial fraction expansion of

displaymath618

by hand. Show your work!

displaymath619

Multiplying through by the denominator, we get

displaymath620

Equating coefficients on the left and right sides, we find that

displaymath621

or

Problem 7 (5 pts). Find the area of the region that lies inside the cardioid tex2html_wrap_inline722 and inside the third quadrant.

Problem 8 (10 pts).

Part I (5 pts). Plot the following points, expressed in polar coordinate, and give their cartesian coordinates: tex2html_wrap_inline724 , tex2html_wrap_inline726 , and tex2html_wrap_inline728

   figure247

Using the formulae

  equation497

it's easy to show that the three points are given by

displaymath626

Part II (5 pts). Write the equation of the line which passes through the (Cartesian) points (0,1) and (2,3) in polar coordinates.

This is the line with slope 1 passing through (0,1), so it has Cartesian equation y=x+1. Using the equations (1), we obtain

displaymath627

or

displaymath628

Problem 9 (10 pts).

Part I (5 pts). Find the exact points on the curve given by the following parametric equations where the tangent is horizontal or vertical.

displaymath629

We differentiate these equations to give

displaymath630

and wherever these two are zero, we have the possibility of horizontal ( tex2html_wrap_inline732 and vertical ( tex2html_wrap_inline734 ) tangents. Thus, there will be horizontal tangents at

displaymath631

and vertical tangents at

displaymath632

Part II (5 pts) Find the tangent line to the parametric curve above when t=1. Sketch the curve (you may use your calculator) and this tangent line.

The equation we get from Figure (4): it's horizontal, with equation y=-2. See the plot.

Problem 10 (10 pts). Approximate (by hand - i.e. show the coefficients)

displaymath633

using

  1. the left rectangle rule with n=4,
  2. the right rectangle rule with n=4,
  3. The trapezoidal rule with n=4,
  4. The midpoint rule with n=4, and
  5. Simpson's rule with n=8.

  table302
Table 1: The data needed for these rules.

  table324
Table 2: The results of these rules.

Recall that once the LRR and RRR results are known, the trapezoidal result is simply the average of the two.

Also, once the trapezoidal and midpoint results are known, Simpson's rule (for n twice that of trap and mid) is known as well, as the weighted average: S2n=(Tn+2Mn)/3.

Hence only three results need to be computed directly: LRR, RRR, and Midpoint; the others can be deduced.

Problem 11 (5 pts). The cubic Bezier curve is a parametric curve on the interval [0,1] determined by 4 control points, call them tex2html_wrap_inline770 , tex2html_wrap_inline772 , tex2html_wrap_inline774 , and tex2html_wrap_inline776 . Draw the positions of these control points in order to create a reasonable semblance of the letter ``C''. Indicate (roughly, but sensibly) how the Bezier curve would look relative to these control points. Pay particular attention to tangents to the curve at tex2html_wrap_inline770 and tex2html_wrap_inline776 .
