You are may wish to work on this assignment prior to your tutorial during
the week of May22 nd. You may ask questions about this assignment in that
tutorial.
STUDY: Chapter 4, Sections: 4.3 (OMIT Thm 4.13 - we can always derive
these results by definition),
HOMEWORK:
At the beginning of your TUTORIAL during the week of May 29th you
may be asked to either submit the following “Homework” problems or write a
quiz based on this assignment and/or related material from the lectures and
textbook readings. (Make sure to bring a printed/written copy of your Home-
work solutions tutorial week of May 29th.) This part of your assignment will
count towards the 22.5% of your final mark, which is based on weekly assign-
ments / quizzes.
1. Express each of the following limits as a definite integral, i.e., use “reverse
engineering” to write the following limit as a definite integral. Make sure
to fully justify your solutions.

7. Evaluate the following integrals using only methods from the allowable
“STUDY” section of this assignment. That is, using either the Riemann
definition of the definite integral, or “geometrically” (i.e. sketch and
shade in the signed area described by the integral and find the area of
this shaded region by interpreting it as a sum of areas of simple geometric
shapes), or definite integral properties (summary of available properties
in the Modules on Quercus).
