REVIEW FOR TEST I: FALL 2015

Test I is scheduled for Wednesday September 30 from 8:45pm to 10:15pm.

The room assignments are announced on your lecture website. The test will
cover material in sections 5.1-5.7 and in approximating areas by Riemann
sums a Document on your lecture website. Below you will find problems
that will help you prepare for the exam. A review session which will
cover many of the problems below will be given by Julia Viro on Tuesday
September 29 from 7pm to 8pm in Harriman 137.

(2) A particle is traveling along the x-axis. t=time is given in seconds;

a(t),v(t),s(t) denote the acceleration, velocity, position at time t. Suppose
the acceleration of the object is given by a(t) = 3t2 2t + 2 .
(a) If v(0)=0 and s(0)=10, then find formulae for s(t), v(t).

Solution: v(t) = t3 t2 + 2t, s(t) = t4 t3 + t2 + 10.
(b) Find the total distance traveled by the object during the time interval [0,4].
Solution: Note that v(t)=0 for t=0,1,-2; and v(t) is negative for
t > 1 and v(t) is positive for 0 < t < 1. Thus the total distance

(c) Find the total displacement of the object during this same time
interval.
Solution: s(4) s(0) = 64 64

(4) Let f(x) denote a continuous, increasing function satisfying f(0)=1,

f(1)=3, f(2)=6, f(3)=7. Let Rn , Ln denote the right and left hand sums
R3
(with n-subdivisions) which approximate 1 f (x)dx. What is the smallest
R3
value of n for which Rn and Ln both approximate 1 f (x)dx to within .001?
R3
Solution: Rn Ln = (f (3) f (1)) n2 = n8 ; and Ln 1 f (x)dx Rn . Thus
R3
2
1 f (x)dx is within a distance of n of both Ln and Rn ; so choosing n=8000
will work.
