AP/CC CalculusM-220Syllabus
(541) 440-4142
Welcome to AP/CC Calculus!
1. Calculus basically has two chapters. Finding slopes of curves at a point, and findingareas of strange regions. You can go to the AP Central website to find out more of thespecifics of the curriculum:
https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-calculus-ab
2. This course is several courses in a single two-hour interval. You are taking an APcourse, which means that in early May you will be given a nationwide exam over theentire syllabus. You WILL pass this exam (RHS has a 96% success rate over the past20 years and I absolutely believe in your ability to improve that rate) and this creditis transferable to any college in the nation. You are also taking a UCC math course,which means that you will get community college credit, which is transferable to anypublic college in Oregon. You are also taking a high school math course, complete withall of the diversions, historical commentaries, and odd side routes that you have cometo expect from the RHS math program.
3. You will get a college grade, whose percent breaks occur at the traditional 90,80,70fences. You also get a high school grade, whose percent breaks occur at 85,75,65 fences.You can think about the incentive related implications of always being within 2.5% ofanother grade.
4. Your goal should be to pass the AP exam and get the college credit this year. Studieshave shown that students who go into high school Calculus, knowing ahead of timethat they are going to repeat it in college, don’t fare well. They don’t wrestle with thedifficult things this year because they know they’ll see it again, and they don’t pay closeattention to the tricky stuff the following year because they feel like “they’ve alreadyseen it”. This is the year . . . with only 27 students, and a teacher with multiple years ofteaching Calculus in his background . . . it seems like the odds of “getting it right” arebetter than next year, when you might have 200 peers in a lecture hall being taught bya foreign-born grad student who has a thick accent. Your call.
5. Cell phones are amazing tools. Having said that, I don’t want to hear or see yours atany point this year. This means they stay in your bag on silent mode. The potential forderailing your education is too great for me to have a more lenient policy.
6. You’ve been down the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Honors roads, so all of the littlepaperwork details won’t be surprising to you. We’ll do (5 pt) assignments daily, take(20 pt) quizzes (more frequently than you did last year), take (50 pt) tests about thricea college term, and do other fun stuff. Falling behind is to be HIGHLY discouraged;this class moves far too fast for easy recovery from this error. I do, however, accept latework for full credit, provided it does not become a habit. We will not have extra creditopportunities beyond test corrections.
7. If you don’t already have one, I highly recommend getting a graphing calculator. Wehave a class set of TI-84’s but they are not borrowable outside of our regular meetingtime. You will need to be very familiar with a graphing calculator of some sort longbefore May, and it is a bad idea to wait too long to get one. If you absolutely can’tafford one, please see me. Incidentally, a math binder, a pencil, and a composition book(preferably with graph paper rather than lined paper) are the only other materials youneed to make sure to have.
8. Notes and assignments will be on our class webpage:
http://rhs-richards.weebly.com/
Therefore, there is no excuse for you to not have notes and/or homework any day, eventhose for which you were absent. On a related note, it would be wise of you to checkyour Synergy StudentVue account at least once a week or so to make sure that nothinghas slipped through the cracks of your, undoubtedly, very busy life. A link to log in toyour account can be found on our class webpage, as well as the high school’s webpage.
9. If you have ANY questions or concerns, you may contact me through any of the sourcesbelow:
• [email protected] (school email)
• [email protected] (home email)
• (541) 440-4142 (school phone)
10. Finally, a concluding phrase about behavior expectations. If you consistently do thesethings daily in class, youll be fine.
Be prompt, be kind, be perspicacious, and live PRIDE!

12. Prove that log2 3 is an irrational number.
Let us suppose that the given statement is false. We can then be certain that there exists somepair of integers a and b such that log2 3 = a
b . It follows that 2ab = 3, hence 2a = 3b. But 2a is
certainly even while 3b is odd. Thus we have reached a contradiction, and must instead concludethat the original statement is true.

Let m be an arbitrary odd square. Then there must exist some natural number n such thatm = (2n � 1)
2. Note that this expands to m = 4n2 � 4n + 1 = 4n(n � 1) + 1. Since n and (n � 1)
are consecutive natural numbers, one of them is necessarily even. Consequently, the product of nand (n� 1) is a multiple of 2. Thus m = 4 · (a multiple of 2) + 1 = (a multiple of 8) + 1, as desired.

9. There’s nothing we’ve done with arithmetic yesterday and today that is beyond what you could havedone back in your 9th Honors days. What if you could be time-travelled back to yourself, back in thoseyounger years, and teach this stuff to younger-you? Alas, you can’t, but . . . what if you could sendyourself a letter? Your last task for this assignment is to write a brief letter to yourself (the 9th Honorsversion) that explains how to find the slope of f(x) = x4. No fair just telling them the formula we distilledtoday; explain how to create that formula using symbols like (x + h)4, and phrases like “infinitesimal”,or “really, really small”, or “limit”. We want correct terminology, but remember your audience. Don’tuse phrases or words that you wouldn’t have understood. If you think that your younger-you wouldjust toss this letter, then please make the effort to make it interesting reading, so that you know thatyou would (will?) read it. Who knows? Maybe you can change the past, and tomorrow you will havediscovered that you already took Calculus last year.
If you think that younger-you was especially precocious (and perspicacious) and want to teach themhow to find the slope of y = xn instead, go ahead. (Just remember to tell them that n must be a wholenumber!)
Oh, and if younger-you was just shy of genius, and you think you can explain to them how to get theslope for a POLY-nomial, instead of just a monomial, you have my blessing. Just don’t push younger-you so hard that they despair of ever taking Calculus and tomorrow you discover that you weren’t everenrolled!
Answer Key
1. You will make repeated use of the fact that the slope rule for y = x2 is 2x . . .
(a) 14
(b) 2
(c) 196
(d) 46
(e) -73
(f) tan−1 4 ≈ 76◦
(g) They intersect at (4, 12), and form an acute angle of tan−1 12 − tan−1 4 ≈ 9.3◦.
(h) y − 9 = − 16 (x− 3)
2.
(a) The slope rule = 12x
11, and plugging in 2 gives 210 = 1024.
(b) The slope rule = 8x3 − 15x2 − 4, and plugging in 2 gives 64 − 60 − 4 = 0.
(c) The slope rule = 9, and plugging in 2 gives, well, 9.
3. The slope is 2, just like the slope of y = x2 at (1, 1).
4. The slope rule is 12x5 − 28x3 − 2. Plugging in 0 and 1 gives hence −2 and −18, respectively.
5. y − 14 = 19(x− 2)
6. 3x2 + 18x + 24 = 0 has solutions x = −4 and x = −2. This gives us the points (−4,−29) and (−2,−33).
7. 3x2 − 18x− 16 = 5 has solutions x = −1 and x = 7. This gives us the points (−1, 7) and (7,−209).
8. y − 26 = − 135 (x− 2)

4. -2. Notice that there are only two possible slopes at any point on f(x) = 2|x|.
5. 0. There are very few fair slope questions involving trig functions . . . for now.
6. There are two possible candidates: x = 0 or x = 4. Checking both, we find (4,−32) to be the minimum.
7. We want 4x3 − 36x > 0. Note that the zeros of 4x3 − 36x are {−3, 0, 3}. Checking values between these“boundary points” results in positive values in exactly two regions: −3 < x < 0 and x > 3.

6. First of all, we know that f(0) = 1, and f ′(x) = 20 (2x− 1)9
so f ′(0) = −20. Thus, an equation for thetangent line to f(x) at x = 0 is y = −20x+ 1.
7. First, we know that f(1) = 3, and f ′(x) = − 24
(2x− 1)5, hence f ′(1) = −24. Thus the tangent line has
an equation y − 3 = −24(x− 1), and a y-intercept at (0, 27).

(g) What is its average “total” velocity over the same interval?
(h) At time t = 2, is the particle traveling to the left or to the right?
(i) At time t = 4, is the particle’s position right or left of its position at time t = 1?
(j) At time t = 4, is the particle’s velocity greater or less than its velocity at time t = 1?

5. For the two particles whose paths are x1(t) = t4− 7t3 + 11t2− 4t+ 8 and x2(t) = t4− 6t3 + 5t2 + 5t+ 8,find each below. Assume t ≥ 0.
(a) At what time(s) are the particles at the same location?
(b) At what time(s) are the two particles traveling with the same velocity?
(c) At what time(s) is one particle traveling 3 speed units faster than the other?
6. Over the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 5, where is the particle whose equation is x(t) = t3 − 9t2 + 24t + 6 going thefastest?
Answer Key
1. You will make repeated use of the fact that x′(t) = v(t) = 2t− 6.
(a) x(5) = −3 (b) t = 1 (c) v(4) = 2 (d) Never (e) t = 2
(f) 3 speed units, since the particle moved 21 distance units, from x(1) = −3 to x(8) = 18, in 7 timeunits.
(g) 297 speed units, since the particle traveled strictly to the left over the first two time units (from −3
to −7), then traveled strictly to the right over the next five time units (from −7 to 18), for a totalof 29 distance units in 7 time units.
(h) Left, since v(2) = −2.
(i) Left, since x(4) = −6 and x(1) = −3.
(j) Greater, since v(4) = 2 and v(1) = −4.
(k) Less, because |2| < |−4|.
2. (a) x(2) = −4 and v(2) = 6
(b) x(1) = 6 and v(1) = 4
(c) x(4) = 28 and v(4) = 27
(d) x(π3 ) = 1+√3
2 and v(π3 ) = 1−√3
2
(e) x(1) = 76 and v(1) = 0
(f) x( 2π3 ) = 2
√3 and v( 2π
3 ) = 2
3. (a) v(t) = 3t2 − 6 = 0 at ±√
2, and changes directions at both times.
(b) v(t) = 36(t+2)2 = 0 for no value of t, hence does not change direction.
(c) v(t) = 3t2 − 6t + 3 = 3(t− 1)2 = 0 at t = 1, but doesn’t turn around there, only pauses.
(d) v(t) = cos t− sin t = 0 at t = π4 , 5π
4 , 9π4 , . . . , and changes directions at each of these times.
(e) v(t) = 13 t− 2
3 − 13t3 = 0 when 1
3 t− 2
3 = 13t3 , hence t
73 = 1, or t = 1. Testing values on both sides of
this value of t, we find it did, in fact, change directions there.
(f) v(t) = −3 csc t cot t = 0 at t = π2 , 3π
2 , 5π2 , . . . , and changes directions at each of these times.
4. Since v(t) = 4t3 − 36t2 + 56t = 4t(t− 2)(t− 7), the particle has positive velocity for t larger than 7, aswell as between 0 and 2. This is exactly half of the values between 0 and 10, hence 50% of the time, theparticle is moving to the right.
5. For the two particles whose paths are x1(t) = t4− 7t3 + 11t2− 4t+ 8 and x2(t) = t4− 6t3 + 5t2 + 5t+ 8,find each below. Assume t ≥ 0.
(a) If x1(t) = x2(t), then t3 − 6t2 + 9t = t(t− 3)2 = 0, hence t = 0 or t = 3.
(b) If v1(t) = v2(t), then 3t2 − 12t + 9 = 3(t− 1)(t− 3) = 0, hence t = 1 or t = 3.
(c) First, let us suppose that v1 − v2 = 3. Then −3t2 + 12t − 9 = 3 or (t − 2)2 = 0, which only holdsfor t = 2. If we suppose instead that v2 − v1 = 3, then 3t2 − 12t + 9 = 3 or t2 − 4t + 2 = 0, whichholds only for t = 2±
√2. Hence, one particle is exactly 3 speed units faster than the other at the
three times 2−√
2, 2, and 2 +√
2, and never again.
6. Note first that v(t) = 3t2 − 18t+ 24 = 3(t− 2)(t− 4). The lowest value this function attains is at t = 3,which gives a velocity of -3, hence speed of 3. The highest value this function attains (in the domaingiven) is at the time furthest from 3, namely t = 0. Since v(0) = 24, we find that the greatest speed isattained at t = 0, and our solution is x(0) = 6.

(a) . . . moving to the left?
(b) . . . being tugged to the left?
(c) . . . speeding up?
4. Over the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 8, where is the particle whose equation is x(t) = t3 − 10t2 going the fastest?
Answer Key
1. You will make repeated use of the fact that v(t) = 3(t− 1)(t− 5) and a(t) = 6(t− 3).
(a) x(5) = −21
(b) v(5) = 0
(c) v(t) = 0 only for t = 5 and t = 1.
(d) a(4) = 6
(e) Never
(f) a(t) = −6 only for t = 2.
(g) Left, because a(2) < 0.
(h) Neither, becuase a(3) = 0.
(i) 0, since a(t) = 12 only for t = 5, and v(5) = 0.
(j) First, v(t) = 15 only at times t = 0 and t = 6, with corresponding accelerations a(0) = −18 anda(6) = 18. Since speed doesn’t care about direction, we also consider v(t) = −15, but this equationdoes not have solutions that are real numbers.
(k) x(0) = 4, and x(6) = −14.
(l) v(2) and a(2) both have the same sign (negative), so the particle is speeding up
(m) The particle is speeding up when velocity and acceleration have the same sign. Below is a numberline which shows when v(t) is positive and when a(t) is positive.
0 1 3 5
By inspection, we see that v(t) and a(t) have the same sign for 1 < t < 3 and for t > 5.
2. (a) a(2) = 12 because a(t) = 6t
(b) a(1) = −80 because a(t) = 80(2t− 3)3
(c) a(4) = 18 because a(t) = 6t− 6
(d) a( 2π3 ) = −1 because a(t) = 2 cos(2t)
(e) a(1) = 79 because a(t) = − 2
9 t− 5
3 + t−4
(f) a(π3 ) = 126 since a(t) = 9(sec3 t+ tan2 x secx)
3. You will make use of the fact that v(t) = 3t2− 10t+ 8 = (3t− 4)(t− 2) and a(t) = 6t− 10. The numberline below shows both where v(t) is positive and where a(t) is positive.
43

(a) The particle is moving left at times 43 < t < 2.
(b) The particle is being tugged left at times t < 53 .
(c) The particle is speeding up at times 43 < t < 5
3 and t > 2.
4. Since x(t) is cubic, it follows that v(t) is a quadratic (parabolic) function. Computing v(t) = 3t2 − 20t,we easily find the lowest value of v(t) will occur at t = 10
3 . Since the number furthest away from 103 in
the given domain is 8, it follows that the greatest value of v(t) will occur at t = 8. Since v( 103 ) = −33 1
3while v(8) = 32, we find that speed is at a maximum at t = 10
3 . Hence, our solution is x( 103 ) = − 2000

(a) x3 + y3 = 9 . . . at the point (2, 1)
(b) y4 + sin y = x2 − 1 . . . at the point (1, 0)
(c) dydx = x− y . . . at the point (9, 5)
Answer Key
1. You will make repeated use of the fact that dydx = − 2x+y
x+4y .
(a) − 4+32+12 = − 1
2
(b) The relevant point is (√
28, 0), and the slope there is −2. Hence y = −2(x−√
28).
(c) The slope is − 14 at both y-intercepts. Thus the angle is tan−1(− 1
4 ) ≈ 14.04◦.
(d) The slope of the relation equals zero when y = −2x. Since zero slopes correspond to highest/lowestpoints, the answer is −2.
(e) Substitute y = −2x (see previous problem) into the original relation to get x2− 2x2 + 2(4x2) = 28.Solving gets us x = ±2. Substituting these values back into y = −2x gives us the points (2,−4)and (−2, 4). Of these two points, (−2, 4) is clearly the highest.
(f) We can re-write the relation as a standard quadratic in terms of y: (2)y2 + (x)y + (x2 − 28) = 0.
According to the quadratic formula, we have y =−x±√x2−4(2)(x2−28)
4 . The top half is the one
involving the positive root. Simplified, this boils down to y = −x+√224−7x2
4 .
(g) The slope of the relation is undefined (vertical) when x = −4y. Substituting this into the originalrelation gives us 16y2 − 4y2 + 2y2 = 28, or y = ±
√2. Plugging these values of y into x = −4y give
us the points (−4√
2,√
2), and (4√
2,−√
2). Of these, (−4√
2,√
2), is clearly furthest to the left.

3. The curves intersect in four places (a rough graph will reveal this). We can either happily noticethat (5, 12) is one of these points, or (unhappily) solve the system resulting from plugging y = 60
x inx2 + y2 = 169. Either way, the hyperbola’s slope there is − 12
5 while the circle’s slope is − 512 . Thus the
angle we are hunting for is tan−1(− 125 )− tan−1(− 5
12 ) ≈ 44.76◦.
4. Since the y-intercept is (0, 2) and dydx = 4−4x−3y
3y2+3x
∣∣(0,2)
= − 16 ⊥ 6, we have y = 6x+ 2.

∣∣(3,1)

2y−2x dydx
y2
∣∣(3,1)
= 2−6·61 = −34.
(b) x+ 2y = ±(any odd number) · π2 . Thus dydx = − 1
2 and d2ydx2 = 0.
6. (a) Since dydx = −x2
y2
∣∣(2,1)
= −4 and d2ydx2 = − 2xy2−2yx2 dy
dx
y4
∣∣(2,1)
= −36, the graph is decreasing, concave
down, and getting steeper.
(b) Since dydx = 2x

dx
(4y3+cos y)2
∣∣(1,0)

increasing, concave up, and getting steeper.
(c) Since dydx = x− y
∣∣(9,5)

dx
∣∣(9,5)
= −3, the graph is increasing, concave down, and

Answer Key
1. (a) Since f(1) = 1 and f(2) = 4, the average slope of f over the interval [1, 2] is equal to 4−12−1 = 3.
Since f is differentiable over this entire interval, by the MVT there must be some value c in theinterval such that f ′(c) = 3. Finally, since f ′(c) = 2c, we solve 2c = 3 to find c = 1.5 .
(b) Note that f(0) = 1 and f(1) = 0, hence the average slope over the interval [0, 1] is equal to−1. Furthermore, f is differentiable over that entire interval, which means the MVT is applicable:there must exist some c in the interval for which f ′(c) = −1. Now f ′(x) = −x(1 − x2)−
12 , thus
−1 = −c(1 − c2)−12 , which leads to c = ±
√22 . Of these two values of c, only one is in the domain
in question. Thus c =√22 .
(c) The average slope of g over the interval [−1, 1] is equal to −11. Again, g is differentiable over thisentire interval, thus the MVT applies and we are guaranteed at least one solution to the equation
−11 = 3c2 − 12 in the interval [−1, 1]. In fact, there are two such values of c. Thus, c = ±√33 .
(d) There are no admissible values of c for which the MVT is satisfied. This is not a problem, as h isnot a differentiable function over the entire interval, hence the MVT does not apply.
2. Since 32 = −2 ·32+18 ·3−27, the function f is continuous over its entire domain. Since 2 ·3 = −4 ·3+18,the function f is differentiable over its entire domain. Consequently, the MVT applies.
• Note that f(−1) = 1 and f(4) = 13. Thuswe are guaranteed at least one solution tof ′(c) = 12
5 .
• One possibility is that −1 ≤ c < 3, giving us2c = 12
5 or c = 65 .
• Another possibility is that 3 ≤ c ≤ 4, givingus −4c + 18 = 12
5 or c = 3910 .
• Both c values satisfy the conditions set. Thusc = 1.2 or 3.9 .

3. Only (b) (because of the IVT) and (e) (because of the MVT) must be true.
4. (a) There was a time between 3 and 6 seconds at which the particle was stopped.
(b) There was a time between 3 and 4 seconds at which the particle was traveling exactly 40 ft/sec.
(c) There was a time between 4 and 6 seconds at which the particle was exactly at the 17.2 ft mark.
5. The MVT guarantees us that the average slope, found by connecting (0, 0) to (5, 4), must be equal tothe instantaneous slope at some point(s) between x = 0 and x = 5. My best guesses are drawn in below.It appears that c ≈ 0.7, c ≈ 3, and c ≈ 4.8 each satisfy the MVT.

Answer Key
1. Your arithmetic might go more smoothly if you notice f(x) = (x + 1)3 − 7. Either way, you will makeuse of the facts that f ′(x) = 3x2 + 6x+ 3 = 3(x+ 1)2 and Newton’s Method,
xn+1 = xn −f(xn)
f ′(xn).
(a) f(0) = −6, f(1) = 1, f(2) = 20, and f(3) = 57.
(b)
x
y
(c) f ′(x) = 3x2 + 6x+ 3 = 3(x+ 1)2, which is never negative.
(d) One root (because of the intermediate value theorem, which you will hear about tomorrow).
(e) By inspection, 1 is the closest integer.
(f) x0 = 1, x1 = 0.916, and x2 = 0.91293845 . . . , thus the root is approximately 0.913.
2. Since xn+1 = xn − x2n−102xn
, and 3 is the integer closest to√
10, we have x0 = 3, x1 = 3.16, and
x2 = 3.162280701 . . . , thus√
10 ≈ 3.16228.
3. The smallest positive root of f(x) = sinx is exactly π, hence approximately 3. Since xn+1 = xn−tan(xn),we have x0 = 3, x1 = 3.142546543 . . . , and x2 = 3.141592653300476 . . . , which is really close to the exactvalue of π because f(x) = sinx is locally linear there.
4. xn+1 = 2− 5−3 = 3.6
5. Since 2 = 5− 12f ′(5) , we have f ′(5) = 4.
6. The point-slope form of the tangent line at (x0, f(x0)) is y − f(x0) = f ′x0(x − x0). Setting y equal tozero (in order to find the line’s x-intercept) and solving for x gives Newton’s Formula.

Answer Key
1. Declare the radius of the circle to be r. Then the sides of the square are each 2r. Consequently, the areaof the square is 4r2 while the area of the circle is πr2. Thus, the percent of the area of the square that
is also inside the circle is πr2
4r2 = π4 ≈ 78.54%.
r
2. We already know that a round peg fills approximately 78% of the area of a square hole (see previousproblem). For the other scenario, let the circle’s radius once again be labelled r. Then the side of theinscribed square equals r
√2. Consequently the area of the square is 2r2, and the percent of the circle
filled by the square is 2r2
πr2 = 2π ≈ 63.66%. As a result, a round peg in a square hole is a better fit.
r
3. Notice that the area common to both the circle and the rectangle (shaded below) is composed of tworight triangles (each with area 2) and two quarter circles (each with area π). Therefore, the fraction ofthe rectangle that is inside the circle is 4+2π
4π , while the fraction of the circle that is inside the rectangleis 4+2π
9√2
. Since the first fraction is larger, there is a higher percentage of the rectangle in the circle.
2
4. (a) Since 8− r + 15− r = 17, the radius of the inscribed circle is 3, making its area 9π.
(b) Since the hypotenuse is equal to the circumscribed circle’s diameter, its circumference is 17π.
5. Consider a right triangle drawn with its legs horizontal and vertical and with its hypotenuse connectingthe centers of the largest two circles (shown in orange below). The hypotenuse has length 4 + 1 = 5 andthe vertical leg has length 4− 1 = 3. Consequently, the horizontal leg has length
√52 − 32 = 4.
Next, consider a right triangle drawn with its legs horizontal and vertical and with its hypotenuseconnecting the centers of the leftmost and middle circles (shown in blue below). Let us say that themiddle circle has radius r. Then the hypotenuse of this triangle has length 1 + r and the vertical leghas length 1− r. Therefore, the horizontal leg has length
√(1 + r)2 − (1− r)2 = 2
√r. Finally, consider
a right triangle with its legs horizontal and vertical with its hypotenuse connecting the centers of therightmost and middle circles (shown in red below). This hypotenuse has length 4 + r, while its verticalleg has length 4− r. Consequently, its horizontal leg has length
√(4 + r)2 − (4− r)2 = 4
√r.
Finally, since the horizontal legs of the two smaller right triangles have a sum of 4, we conclude that6√r = 4 or r = 4
9 . Thus, the area of the third circle is 1681π.
6. Let’s say that the side of our triangle is equal to x. Then its area is equal to x2 · x2√
3 = x2·√3
4 . Since the
square must have this same area, its sides must have length x· 4√3
2 . Thus the ratio of the perimeters of
our shapes is equal to 3·x2·x· 4√3
or 33/4
2 ≈ 1.14
7. Assume that segment OQ has length 2r. Then each of the half circles has an area of 12 · πr2, while the
quarter circle has an area of 14 · 4πr2. Now, notice that adding the two half circles to region B gives
the area of the quarter circle plus region A. Using the areas we have already found, this means that12 · πr2 + 1
2 · πr2 +B = 14 · 4πr2 +A which boils down to just B = A. The ratio of areas is just 1.
8. Rectangle ABEF is made up of 4 triangles with equal areas. (All four of them have a base equalto the length of segment BO and a corresponding height equal to the distance from point A to linesegment BO.) The octagon is made up of 8 of these same triangles (each congruent to triangle ABO).Consequently, the octagon’s area is exactly twice the area of the rectangle.

5. In a river estuary, customs officers boarded and searched a ship suspected of drug smuggling, but foundnothing. Later they were told that a floating package had been dropped overboard just before theyboarded the ship. In addition to the current in the river, there is a strong tidal flow. The two combineto produce a current with an estimated speed of v(t) = 2 − 4 sin(πt/6) nautical miles per hour, where tis the time in hours since the ship was intercepted.
(a) If the customs officers return 4 hours later to begin to search for the package, where would yourecommend them to begin looking?
(b) When should an observer at a post 4 nautical miles further downstream be alerted to look out forthe package?
Answer Key
1. (a) Since v(t) = 8t− 4, t = 1/2 is a critical point. Also, x(t) = 4t2 − 4t+C, though for just computingdistance traveled, the value of C is irrelevant and can be made to be anything we might findconvenient (I like C = 0 this time, giving us x(t) = 4t2 − 4t).
i. The NET distance traveled equals x(5)− x(0) = 80 meters.
ii. The important positions are the beginning, the ending, and any potential “turn arounds”.These positions are x(0) = 0, x(1/2) = −1, and x(5) = 80. The TOTAL distance traveled of82 meters can be seen relatively easily by plotting the important positions and sketching theparticle’s trip.
0-1 80
(b) First 3t2− 12t+ 9 = 0 at t = 1 and t = 3, giving us two critical points in the domain [0, 5]. Second,using the same logic as above, we have x(t) = t3 − 6t2 + 9t.
i. The NET distance traveled equals x(5)− x(0) = 20 meters.
ii. The critical positions are x(0) = 0, x(1) = 4, x(3) = 0, and x(5) = 20. The TOTAL distancetraveled is 28 meters.
40 20
(c) Notice that sin(π2 t)
= 0 whenever t is an even integer, giving us t = 2 and t = 4 for critical points.
Also, x(t) = − 2π cos
(π2 t).
i. The NET distance traveled equals x(5)− x(0) = 2/π.
ii. The critical positions are x(0) = −2/π, x(2) = 2/π, x(4) = −2/π, and x(5) = 0. The TOTALdistance traveled is 10/π.
− 2π
0 2π
2. (a) Integrating and choosing our “C” to fit the given data, we have v(t) = 12 t
2 + 4t + 5. Either byusing some clever factoring or perhaps the quadratic formula, we discover that this function’s rootsare both negative (t = −4 ±
√6). Hence there are no critical points in the domain [0, 10]. Anti-
differentiating one more time gives us x(t) = 16 t
3+2t2+5t (plus an irrelevant constant I am choosingto let equal 0).
i. From the thinking above, v(t) = 12 t
2 + 4t+ 5.
ii. The NET distance traveled equals x(10) − x(0) = 12503 = 416.6 meters. Since there were no
“turn arounds” in the domain given, this is also the TOTAL distance traveled.
(b) Integrating, just as above, we get v(t) = t2 +3t−4. Furthermore, this function has two roots: t = 1and t = −4. However, only one of these two roots is in the domain [0, 3], giving us a single criticalpoint at t = 1. Anti-differentiating again gives us x(t) = 1
3 t3 + 3
2 t2 − 4t.
i. As stated above, v(t) = t2 + 3t− 4.
ii. The critical positions are x(0) = 0, x(1) = − 136 , and x(3) = 63
6 . The TOTAL distance traveledis 89
6 = 14.83 meters.
− 136
0 636
3. Since x(t) = cos t, it follows that v(t) = − sin t and a(t) = − cos t. Furthermore, v(t) = 0 whenever t isan integer multiple of π, giving us a single critical point of t = π in the domain [0, 3π/2].
(a) x(π2 ) = 0.
(b) v(π2 ) = −1.
(c) v(π2 ) < 0, so the particle is heading left.
(d) a(π2 ) = 0.
(e) The NET distance traveled equals x( 3π2 ) − x(0) = −1. In other words, the NET distance traveled
is one unit left.
(f) The critical positions are x(0) = 1, x(π) = −1, and x( 3π2 ) = 0. The TOTAL distance traveled is 3.
-1 0 1
4. Using anti-differentiation and the initial condition x(0) = 1, we have x(t) = tanx + 1. Furthermore,since v(t) = sec2 t is strictly positive over the domain [−π/4, π/4], we do not have any critical points.Finally, a(t) = 2 sec2 t tan t.
(a) x(π6 ) =√33 + 1.
(b) v(π6 ) = 43 .
(c) v(π6 ) > 0, so the particle is heading right.
(d) a(π6 ) = 2 ·(
2√3
)2· 1√
3= 8
3√3.
(e) The NET distance traveled equals x(π4 )− x(−π4 ) = 2− 0 = 2.
(f) Since there are no critical points, the TOTAL distance equals the NET distance of 2.
5. Anti-differentiating the velocity rule gives us x(t) = 2t + 24π cos(πt6 ). I would rather not throw an
additional constant into that rule, and will instead be content that the intercepted boat is at positionx(0) = 24
π . Also, it is worth noticing that our position rule is capable of both positive and negativevalues. It is same to assume that the river is flowing, ultimately, to the sea. Since large values of t makelarge positive values of x(t), we can safely assume that moving right is moving downstream (seaward)and that moving left is moving upstream.
(a) Calculating x(4) we get 8 − 12π . However, x(4) isn’t as important as how far away (and in what
direction) x(4) is from x(0). We can handle that, though: x(4) − x(0) = 8 − 36π ≈ −3.459.
Consequently, they should look for the package about 3.459 (nautical) miles upstream (furtheraway from the ocean).
(b) Solving x(t) − x(0) = 4 is impossible (for me at least) without the aid of technology. Sincex(t) = 2t + 24
π cos(πt6 ) and x(0) = 24π , this means solving 2t + 24
π cos(πt6 ) − 24π = 4. I graphed
both the left and right-hand sides of this equation and used the “intersect” button on my TI to gett ≈ 7.9 hours after intercepting the ship.
Just for the record, and because I didn’t want my curiosity to go undocumented, I worked out thepath of the package according to the equations we were given. Here it is:
• x(0) = 24π ≈ 7.6
• x(1) = 2 + 12√3
π ≈ 8.6
• x(5) = 10− 12√3
π ≈ 3.4
• x(13) = 26 + 12√3
π ≈ 32.6
• x(17) = 34− 12√3
π ≈ 27.4

3. Sketching an example of f(x) as described makes this a very easy question to answer. There is clearlymore area in the (dotted) rectangle whose base is (b � a) and whose height is f(a) than there is below

4. Since f(x) is even, the average value of f(x) over [�a, 0] equals the average value of f(x) over [0, a], hencethe first two choices are equal. The third choice has twice the area AND twice the width, consequentlythe same average value as the first two choices. Finally, the last choice is identical to the third choice,since leaving out the endpoints won’t have an impact on the average value at all. Therefore, the averagevalue of f(x) is the same for all four domains.

2−→ y2+4y = 10x−5 −→ (y + 2)
2= 10x−1 −→ y = −2±

Finally, we plug in the initial condition to decide whether to keep the positive or negative “half” ofthe picture. It is clear that the positive half is desired. Thus, the particular solution y = f(x) tothe differential equation with initial condition (1,−1) is
y = −2 +√

In this particular instance, it is impossible to decide between the positive or negative option, asplugging in our initial condition works in both cases. There are, therefore two correct answers:

Finally, we plug in the initial condition to decide whether to keep the positive or negative “half” ofthe picture. It is clear that the positive half is desired. Thus, the particular solution y = f(x) tothe differential equation with initial condition (3, 4) is
y =√x2 + 7
(j) Perspicacity pays off on this problem as well. Notice that

(a) The slope at (1,−1) equals 2. Therefore, anequation for the line tangent to the graph off(x) at (1,−1) is y + 1 = 2(x − 1). Plug-ging in x = 1.1 gives us y = −0.8. Hence,f(1.1) ≈ −0.8.
(b) First, “separating the variables”, integrating,and solving for C using the initial conditionsgives us

Finally, we plug in the initial condition to de-cide whether to keep the positive or negative“half” of the picture. It is clear that the nega-tive half is desired. Thus, the particular solu-tion y = f(x) to the differential equation withinitial condition (1,−1) is

4. I’ll tell you tomorrow.
This is the kind of problem and solution that you will likely need to read slowly and think about morethan once. . .
r
a
(a) You will notice that I added some different labels to the diagram. If we draw (I didn’t, becauseit made the picture too cluttered) a radius of the hemisphere bowl out to the right endpoint ofthe segment labelled r above, we would have a right triangle whose sides are r, 5 − a, and 5.Consequently, r2 = 25− (5− a)2 = 10a− a2. Notice that for larger and larger choices of a (up to5), we get larger and larger values of r2 (up to 25), which makes our thinking so far at least plausible.
(If you prefer, there is a pretty quick “point to circle” plan that also gets the relationship betweena and r. Do you see why the product of r and r has to equal the product of a and (10− a)?)
Now, a very skinny disk a height a above the bottom of the bowl would have volume
πr2 da = π(10a− a2) da.
Consequently, the sum of all disks (total amount of water) from a = 0 to a = h would be
∫ h
0
π(10a− a2
)da = π
(5a2 − 1
3a3) ∣∣∣
h
0= π
(5h2 − 1
3h3).
(b) From the previous problem, we have V = π(5h2 − 1
3h3). Taking the derivative of both sides with
respect to t gives us
dV
dt= π
(10h
dh
dt− h2 dh
dt
)
.2 = π
(40dh
dt− 16

)
.2
24π=dh
dt
Therefore, the height of the water is increasing at a rate of 1/120π feet per second at the instant thewater is 4 feet deep.
