1. Draw a graph of f (x) = 1 x2 , and use this graph to compute f (x)dx.
1

(Hint: this is the graph of a familiar geometric figure)

Solution.

We can recognize that this is the graph of a circle, or more precisely a semicircle above the x-axis. You
can see this by noticing that x2 + y 2 = 1 where y = f (x).
Therefore the integral of this function is just the area of the semicircle with radius 1, i.e. ⇡/2.

(c) From (a) and (b), we can notice that the numerator ex does not change when we apply L’Hôpital’s

eventually, after invoking L’Hôpital’s Rule n times, we have

What this tells us is that ex increases much faster than any polynomial.

hypotheses are met before you apply it:
sin(x) x
lim
x!0 cos(2x) 1
0
Solution. The limit is of 0 form, hence we can apply L’Hôpital’s Rule and get

sin(x) x L0 H cos(x) 1
lim = lim
x!0 cos(2x) 1 x!0 2 sin(2x)

cos(x) 1 0
But lim is also of 0 form, so we can apply L’Hôpital’s Rule again and get:
x!0 2 sin(2x)

sin(x) x L0 H cos(x) 1 L0 H sin(x)

lim = lim = lim =0
x!0 cos(2x) 1 x!0 2 sin(2x) x!0 4 cos(2x)

2. The limit lim (xe1/x x)

x!1

(a) does not exist because 1 1 is an indeterminate form

(b) is equal to 1

(c) is equal to 1 because xe1/x grows faster than x

(d) is equal to 0

Circle the correct answer, and justify your choice using the notions and tools learned in the class.

Solution. The correct answer is (b), since we can compute the limit by rewriting it and then using
L’Hôpital’s Rule:

e1/x 1 L0 H ( 1/x2 )e1/x

lim (xe1/x x) = lim x(e1/x 1) = lim = lim = lim e1/x = 1

(d) What is the number a 2 (2, 7] that makes v(t)dt as small as possible?

Solution. It’s a = 7, since that is when we will have considered all the negative area.

2. (a) Suppose f (x) is an odd function (remember this means that f ( x) = f (x)). What is f (x)dx?
a
Justify your response with a sketch.

(b) Suppose f (x) is an even

Z a function (remember
Z a this means that f ( x) = f (x)). What is the
relationship between f (x)dx and f (x)dx? Justify your response with a sketch.
a 0

(c) Is the function f (x) = sin(x) + x3 even or odd? Use your answer and the work that you did above
Z ⇡/2
to evaluate (sin(x) + x3 )dx.
⇡/2

Solution.
Z a
Recall that we can interpret f (x)dx geometrically as the signed area encircled by the graph
a Z a
of f (x), x-axis, x = a and x = a, so it’s the sum of the area A = f (x)dx and the area
Z 0 0

B= f (x)dx.
a

If f (x) is odd, its graph is symmetric with respect to theZorigin, so A and B are the same in
a
number, but they have the opposite sign. In this case then f (x)dx = A + B = A + ( A) = 0.
a

If f (x) is even, itsZgraph is symmetric with respect to theZ y-axis, so A and B are exactly the
a a
same. In this case f (x)dx = A + B = A + A = 2A = 2 f (x)dx.
a 0

For part (c), we can find f ( x) = sin( x) + ( x)3 = sin(x) x3 = f (x). This means f is
odd, so by part (a) the required integral is equal to 0.
