The approximation gets better as n → ∞, so we can define
average = lim

• Decide if an integral might be appropriate for computing using trig substitution.
• Determine what trig substitution should be used.
• Perform trig substitution to compute an integral, including converting back to
original variables using a triangle and / or trig identities as needed.

The following three trig identities are useful for doing trig substitutions to solve some
kinds of integrals with square roots in them.
sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1 tan2(x) + 1 = sec2(x) cot2(x) + 1 = csc2(x)

up from familiar functions, like

• trig functions
• exponential and logarithmic functions
using familiar operations:

in such a way that the function and the polynomial have the same value at x = 5 and
also have the same first through fourth derivatives at x = 5.
Suppose f (5) = 1, f 0(5) = 3, f 00(5) = 7, f (3)(5) = 13, and f (4)(5) = −11. What are the
coefficients of the polynomial?

nomial of the form

Note. In general, it is possible to approximate the length of a curve x = f (t), y = g(t)

curved piece with a line segment.

coordinates: y = f (x).
2

333
The Arclength Function

Recall that the arclength of a curve x = f (t), y = g(t) from t = a to t = b is given by:
If we fix the t-value where the curve starts (t = a), but vary the t-value where the curve
ends (t = b), we can think of this as a function of b:
Often, this is written as a function of t instead of b by replacing b by t and using a

different variable (like s) in the integrand.

§9.1, 9.2, 9.3 - DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
§9.1, 9.2, 9.3 - Differential Equations
Differential equations are equations that involve functions and their derivatives. For
example,
dy √
1. dx = x
2. y0 = 1 + y2
d2 y
3. dx2
= −4y
4. y = x + y

Solving a differential equation means to find all functions y = f (x) that satisfy it.
Sometimes it is useful to find a particular solution, with a given initial condition, such
as y(2) = 5.
355
dy √
Example. dx = x
1. Solve this differential equation.
2. How do you know you have found all solutions?
356
Example. y0 = 1 + y2
1. Verify that y = tan(x) is a solution to this equation.
2. Is y = tan(x) + 3 a solution?
3. Is y = 3 tan(x) a solution?
4. Is y = tan(x + 3) a solution?
5. Find a solution that satisfies the initial condition y(0) = 1.
357
Example. ”Separate” the differential equation by moving all y’s to the left side and all
x’s to the right side, to find all solutions to the equation
y0 = 1 + y2
358
Example. Find a solution the equation

dy
= xy2
dx
1. with the initial condition y(0) = 4.
2. with the initial condition y(1) = 0.
359
Definition. An equation of the form

dy
= g(x) f (y)
dx
is called a separable differential equation.
Equivalently, an equation of the form

dy g(x)
=
dx h(y)
1
is called a separable differential equation. Here, f (y) =
h(y)
Separable differentiable equations can be solved by moving expressions with y’s in
them to the left side of the equals sign and expressions with x’s in them on the right
and integrating both sides:
360
Example. Which of these equations are separable?

x
1. y0 = √
y
2. y0 = x + y
3. y0 = yex+y
4. y0 = ln(xy)
5. y0 = ln(x y)
xy + y
6. y0 =
2x − 3xy
7. y0 = xy − 2x + y − 2
361
d2 y
Example. dx2
= −4y
1. Show that an equation of this form describes the motion of a spring.
2. Find as many solutions as possible for this equation.
362
Example. y0 = x + y
1. This equation is harder to solve or guess solutions for, but we can get approximate
solutions by plotting the “slope field”.
x y y0 (note: y0 = x + y)
363
Slope field for y0 = x + y
2. Sketch some curves whose tangent lines fall on this slope field.
3. Sketch an approximate solution to the differential equation that satisfies the initial
condition y(−1) = 1.
364
Example. For each situation, set up a differential equation. If you have extra time at
the end, you can solve the equations.
1. The rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature difference be-
tween the object and its surroundings. Write a differential equation to describe the
temperature of a cup of coffee that starts out at 90◦ C and is in a 20◦ room.
2. A population is growing at a rate proportional to the population size .
3. The logistic population model assumes that there is a maximum carrying capacity
of M and that the rate of change of the population is proportional to the product
of the population and the fraction of the carrying capacity that is left.
