MATH 152 - D100

A SSIGNMENT #1

Quiz: Friday, September 12, 2014, in-class

Instructions
Complete this assignment by Wednesday in your homework journal. This will give you plenty of time to make
sure you understand the material before the quiz at the end of Fridays class. Quiz questions will be taken
from items 2 or 3 below.
Some suggestions for using your homework journal are:

Do rough work on scratch paper.

If you find one solution, try to find another (a simpler solution may reveal itself).
When you find a solution, try to see it as a whole without all the little details.
Do questions in order and clearly label question and section numbers.
Grade your own assignment when solutions are posted. Catch your mistakes now when the stakes are
low rather than making them on exams.

To obtain maximum marks on the quiz, your answer should be in a form that another student could understand without undue effort: a poorly expressed but correct result is not sufficient.

3. Additional questions:
These questions are made up by your instructor and may require a blend of ideas that we have encountered so far in the course. They are similar to exam style questions in that it is not entirely clear what
section of the text is directly related to solving the problem. You will have to decide what tools/techniques
are required.
A1. Let A be the area under the graph of y = ex for 0 x 1 (see diagram to right). In this exercise, we evaluate A using the formula
for a geometric sum (valid for r 6= 1):
1 + r + r2 + + rn1 =

n1
X

rj =

j=0

rn 1
.
r1

a) Show that the left-endpoint approximation to A is

Ln =

n1
1 X j/n
e .
n j=0

b) Apply the geometric sum formula above with r = e1/n to prove that
A = (e 1) lim

1
n(e1/n

1)

c) Evaluate the limit in part (b), and calculate A.

d) Let B be the area under the graph of y = ln x for 1 x e (see
diagram to right). Use the results of part (c) to show that B = 1.

4. Extra-Practice Questions:
Try these questions for some more practice. The more practice you get the better you will understand the
material and the better you will do on quizzes and exams.
(Stewart) Section 5.1: 3, 11 (can use GeoGebra applet in WebCT), 12, 13, 17, 19, 23, 24
(Stewart) Section 5.2: 1, 5, 7, 11, 17, 21 - 65 (odd)

Legend (for type of question):

RE = Routine Exercise: This is something you should be able to do in your sleep ;-). Your goal is to be
able to answer these questions quickly and accurately every time. These form the foundations of your
skill set.
TC = Time Challenge: Speed and accuracy are important factors in solving this type of routine exercise. Try to do these exercises within the time limit, usually 5 minutes. If you need more time than
that, its o.k., but keep practicing! Solving these routine exercises provides a foundation for solving
more involved problems, and is essential in performing well on quizzes and exams.
WP = Word Problem: Translating words into expressions (also known as modeling): Master this skill
now, we will be using this all term.
CD = Concepts and Definitions: These questions relate to your understanding of the new language
we are introducing. They should help you remember the important definitions and theorems.
CE = Concepts and Explorations: This indicates a question which is testing your understanding of the
fundamentals. It is not a routine exercise since the solution process may not be obvious at first glance.
It may take a little bit of thought to figure out what to do, dont be afraid to play around with some
ideas. Youll learn more by making mistakes and taking routes which lead to dead ends. You must be
able to do these types of questions to succeed in learning this material.
HL = Higher Level Understanding: This indicates a question which is testing understanding at a
higher level. These questions will require more thought than a RE or CE so dont be discouraged if
you cant see how to do this immediately. Perseverance and playing around with ideas is the key to
these questions. Understanding this material at this level is an expected outcome of this course.
CM = Computer of Computational Device: This indicates a question in which a computer or calculator
is needed.

Selected Hints & Answers:

5.2: 24. 0

Additional questions:
A1. (a) Straight from the definition of the left-endpoint Riemann sum.
(c) To evaluate the limit you may find LHospitals rule useful.
(d) Do not try to construct, and evaluate, Riemann sums involving ln. This would be far to difficult. Instead use the results you already found in part (c), and
have another look at the diagram.
A2. Try finding upper and lower bounds on the integrand first. This will help you bound the integral.
