Are you ready to study calculus?

Algebra is the language in which we express the ideas of calculus. Therefore, to un-
derstand calculus and express its ideas with precision, you need to know some algebra.

If you are comfortable with the algebra covered in the following problems, you are
ready to begin your study of calculus. If not, turn to the Algebra Appendix beginning
on page A.xxx and review the Complete Solutions to these problems, and continue
reading the other parts of the Appendix that cover anything that you do not know.

59. a. The value of x corresponding to the year 2020 is x = 2020 – 1900 = 120. Substituting x = 120 into the
equation for the regression line gives
y  0.356x  257.44
y  0.356(120)  257.44  214.72 seconds
Since 3 minutes = 180 seconds, 214.72 = 3 minutes 34.72 seconds. Thus, the world record in the year
2020 will be 3 minutes 34.72 seconds.
b. To find the year when the record will be 3 minutes 30 seconds, first convert 3 minutes 30 seconds to
60 sec
seconds: 3 minutes 30 seconds = 3 minutes • 1 min + 30 seconds = 210 seconds.

Now substitute y = 210 seconds into the equation for the regression line and solve for x.
y  0.356x  257.44

0.356x  47.44
x  47.44  133.26

Since x represents the number of years after 1900, the year corresponding to this value of x is
1900 + 133.26 = 2033.26 2033. The world record will be 3 minutes 30 seconds in 2033.

 FOREWORD

Special times or events have been celebrated from time immemorial

by feasting, dancing, and singing. Often the dancers formed a ring
and sang as they danced, first the dance and later the song being
called a carol. The carol was not always strictly religious, although in
the old times both the singing and dancing often took place in
cathedrals and churches. Some of the carols that we still know are
connected with times before the Christian era. They have now lost
their dance and the melody has changed, but the ideas are very
ancient. The Holly and the Ivy suggest the old Druids, and we still
put up Holly and Ivy in our houses just as people did before the time
of Christ. We put them up at Christmas, and we sing the carol at
Christmas—but the idea at the back of it is older than Christmas, for
the Church accepted all that was found to be of value in the old
customs, and adapted them to set forth the newer faith. The carrying
in of the Boar’s Head is an old ceremony, too. It was considered a
Royal Dish, and Henry II. ordered it to appear at a special feast
which he gave in honour of his son.
In the old days people thought of the New Year as the time when the
trees and flowers began to come out—that is about May Day—so
the May Day Carols celebrate the New Year’s Day of ever so long
ago. Gradually, however, carols have centred more and more round
events in the life of Christ, and especially round the wonderful story
of His Birth. Many of them have just been handed on from one
person to another through hundreds of years, some have only been
written down at all during the last century. For example, the version
given here of the “Black Decree” was sung into my phonograph by
an old man of seventy-five. All the carols chosen for this book are
those which have been sung through many, many years at times of
festival and mirth (note how often food and drink are referred to), so
don’t expect them to be pious in the modern way or to be at all like
our present-day hymns.
The Publishers desire to acknowledge their indebtedness to Miss
Lucy E. Broadwood for kindly permitting them to reproduce in this
collection the following carols from her ENGLISH TRADITIONAL
SONGS AND CAROLS: “King Pharaoh,” “The Moon Shines Bright,”
“The Sussex Mummers’ Carol,” and “I’ve been Rambling all the
Night.” Also to Miss A.G. Gilchrist for the “Pace Egging Song” and
“The Seven Joys of Mary,” and to the Rev. S. Baring-Gould and his
publishers (Messrs. Methuen & Co., Ltd.) for the “Somersetshire
Wassail” from A GARLAND OF COUNTRY SONG.
