Complete and Important Question and answer

1. What is the difference between definite integral and an indefinite integral?

If the function f is continuous on [a, b], and can assume both

positive and negative values, the definite integral
b

 f ( x) dx
a

is net signed area between y = f(x) and the interval [a, b]. The
numbers a and b are called the lower and upper limits of
integration.

Indefinite integral is the set of functions F(x) + C, where C is constant of integration and F(x) is the
d  F ( x) 
integral of given function f where  f ( x) .
dx

Q 2. What is meant by net signed area (the term used in defining definite integral)?

An indefinite integral is of the form

 f ( x) dx  F ( x)  C
Suppose that a function f has a smooth curve in an interval [a, b] and can lie both above and below x-
axis then ‘area under the curve and above x-axis’ minus ‘area above the curve below x-axis’ is termed as
net signed area under the curve of f on the interval [a, b]. It is named "signed" area
because the area above the x -axis counts as positive and the area below the x -axis
counts as negative.Net signed area can be positive, negative or zero; it is positive
when there is more area above than below, negative when there is more area
below than above, and zero when the area above and below are equal.For example,
in the figure

Net signed area under the curve of f on the interval [a, b]

= [Area above] – [Area below]

= (A + C) – B

Q 3. Why we add C with the anti-derivative for evaluating an indefinite integral?

ANSWER: If a function f(x) is defined on an interval and F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x),

then the indefinite integral is set of all anti-derivatives of f(x), that is, the functions F(x) + C,
where C is an arbitrary constant.

As we know, the derivative of any constant function is zero. Once one has found one
antiderivative F(x), adding or subtracting a constant C will give us another antiderivative,
because (F(x) + C) ' = F ' (x) + C ' = F ' (x) . The constant is a way of expressing that
every function has an infinite number of different anti-derivatives.

For example, suppose one wants to find anti-derivatives of cos(x). One such anti-derivative is
sin(x). Another one is sin(x) + 1. A third is sin(x) − π. Each of these has derivative
cos(x), so they are all anti-derivatives of cos(x).
It turns out that adding and subtracting constants is the only flexibility we have in finding
different anti-derivatives of the same function. That is, all anti-derivatives are the same up to a
constant. To express this fact for cos(x), we write:

∫ cos (x) dx = sin(x) + C

Q 6. State First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus?

The First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus states that:

If f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and F is the anti-derivative of f on [a, b] , then

 f ( x) dx  F (b)  F (a)
a

Q.1# Why we use the second fundamental theorem of calculus?

Answer: The first fundamental theorem of calculus is used to evaluate the definite integral of a
continuous function if we can find an antiderivative for that function, but it does not point out
the question of which functions actually have antiderivatives; then at this stage the second
fundamental theorem of calculus is used.

The second fundamental theorem of calculus states that the derivative of a definite integral
with respect to its upper endpoint is its integrand; it allows one to compute the definite integral
of a function by using any one of its infinitely many antiderivatives. This part of the theorem has
invaluable practical applications, because it markedly simplifies the computation of definite
integral.

Q.2# Why the function defined by F ( x)   f (t ) dt is not an arbitrary antiderivatives of f ; if

Answer: The function defined by F ( x)   f (t ) dt is not an arbitrary antiderivative of f ; it is
a

Q 1. What is the difference between local maximum and relative maximum value of a
function?

ANSWER: Local maximum and relative maximum are synonyms, that is, different words for
same concept. Similarly local minimum is also named as relative minimum.

Q 2. What is the difference between critical point and stationary point of the function?
ANSWER: The term "critical point" is often confused with "stationary point".

Stationary point x0 is the point, at which the derivative of a function f(x) vanishes,
f ’ ( x0) = 0
That is, a point where the function "stops" increasing or decreasing (hence the name).

Critical point x0 of a function y = f(x) is the point at which f ’ ( x0) = 0

Or
f(x) is not differentiable at x0

Critical point is more general, it is either a stationary point or a point where the derivative is not
defined.

A stationary point is always a critical point, but a critical point is not always a stationary point as
it may also be a non-differentiable point.

Q.1# What is the difference between a sequence and series?

Answer:

A sequence is a number pattern in a definite order following a certain rule.

Examples of sequences:

1) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ... add 1 to the preceding term

2) 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 23, 31. add 2 to the preceding term, add 3 to the next term, etc

3) 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34,... add the two preceding terms together

A sequence is an ordered list of objects (or events). Like a set, it contains members (also called elements
or terms), and the number of terms (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence. Unlike a set,
order matters, and the exact same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in the
sequence.

For example, (C, R, Y) is a sequence of letters that differs from (Y, C, R), as the ordering matters.
Sequences can be finite, as in this example, or infinite, such as the sequence of all even positive integers
(2, 4, 6,...).

General sequence terms are usually denoted by:

a1, a2,...an ,an+1...

a1 1st term

a2 2nd term
an nth term

an+1 (n+1) term

A series is a sum of terms in a sequence. It can be denoted by

a1+ a2+ a3+ a4+ ...

Using the above sequences, we have the following series:

1) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 +...

2) 2 + 4 + 7 + 11 + 16 + 23 + 31.

3) 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8 + 13 + 21 + 34 +...

Q.2# At what condition a sequence is called monotone?

Answer: A sequence which is either always increasing or always decreasing is called a monotone
sequence. Note that an ``arbitrary'' sequence is not monotone (it will usually sometimes increase, and
sometimes decrease).

Q.3# How do we use monotone sequence in real life?

Answer: Monotone sequences do happen in real life. For example, the sequence

a1 = 3 a2 = 3.1 a3 = 3.14 a4 = 3.141 a5 = 3.1415... is how we often describe the decimal

expansion of π. Monotone sequences are important because we can say something useful about them
which are not true of more general sequences.

Q.4# In what disciplines infinite series can be used?

Answer: Infinite series are widely used in other quantitative disciplines such as physics and computer
science.
Q.5# When a sequence converges or diverges?

Answer: A sequence converges to a limit L if and only if the sequence of even numbered terms and odd
numbered terms both converges to L e.g. The sequence 1/2, 1/3, 1/22, 1/32,1/23,1/33 , ... converges to
0. Note that the even numbered terms and odd numbered terms both converges to 0.( mean as the
terms of the sequence increases they become closer to zero, i.e. 1/2 =0.5 , 1/22= 0.25, 1/23= 0.125,
0.0625, 0.03125, 0.015625, 0.0078125,....as the number of term increases it becomes closer to zero).

If both or one of even numbered terms and odd numbered terms are not converges to limit L then the
sequence diverges.

Q.6# How do we check the convergent or divergent for series?

Answer: For series we have many methods to check that either the series is convergent or divergent.
We have Divergence test, Integral test, convergence of p-Series, Comparison test, Ratio test, the Root
test, the Limit comparison Test.

There are a number of methods of determining whether a series converges or diverges

The terms of the sequence {an } are compared to the sequence of {bn } for all n

 
Where 0  an  bn and  bn converge then so
n 1
a
n 1
n

Similarly if

 
For all 0  bn  an and  bn diverges then so
n 1
a
n 1
n

Ratio Test:

Assume that for all n an  0

 an 1
Suppose that there exist “r” such that lim | | r
x  an

If r < 0 then the series converges if r >1 then the series diverge

If r =1 then the series may converge or diverge

Similarly we can apply the other tests such as the Integral test, the Limit comparison test; the
Alternating series test to check whether the given series converges or diverges.

Q.7# How do we write an alternating series?

Answer: An alternating series is any series, , for which the series terms can be written in one of
the following two forms.

There are many other ways to deal with the alternating sign, but they can all be written as one of the
two forms above. For instance,

Q.8# When a series is called a converge conditionally?

Answer: A series is said to converge conditionally if exists and is a finite number

(not ∞ or −∞), but

A classical example is given by

which converges to ln 2 , but is not absolutely convergent.

The simplest examples of conditionally convergent series (including the one above) are the alternating
series.

Answer: Q.1# Where definite integral is applicable?

Answer: There are many applications of definite integral for example: it is used to find
the area bounded by curves, area of a surface of revolution, volume of solids (i.e.
volume by slicing and washers as well as cylindrical shell), length of plane curves, work,
mass and fluid pressure. We use definite integrals to solve many practical problems.

Q.2# How can we find the volume of a disc when it has some definite thickness?

Answer: When we find the area of disc we suppose that the thickness of the disc is zero
and at that time area of the disc is π r2. This area is also called the surface area of the
disc and in this case since disc is in 2 dimensions, so its volume is zero. Now if there is
some thickness of the disc say h. Then its volume is simply multiplication of its surface
2
area and thickness that is πhr .

Q.3# Either cylinders can consider as hollow or solid?

Answer: A cylinder refers to a solid bounded by a cylindrical surface and two parallel
planes. Hollow cylinder is named as cylindrical surface.
Q.4# How do we calculate the volume using shells?

Answer:: A shell is a hollow tube. To calculate volume using shells, we take shells of
graduated radii and fill the solid of revolution with them. We only want the volume of
the material in each shell, not what the shell itself might hold. We calculate the volume
of each shell and add them all up to get the total volume.

The formula for the volume of a shell is V = 2  r h w

w is our dx or dy. The width and the height of the shell tell us which to use.

Q.5# How do we find the length of a curve?

Answer: Simply we find the length of a given curve by dividing the curve into very small
segments and calculating the length of each segment. Then we add up the lengths
found.

Mathematically we can say that measure the intervals by keeping the x same for each
interval. Each segment approximates a straight line, so use the distance formula to find
the length of each segment.

Question: FAQs on Improper Integral (Lecture #39)

Answer: Lecture # 39 Improper Integral

Q.1# What type of an integral is called when the integrand is not
bounded and do not exist over a finite interval?

Answer: An integral exists if the integrand is both "bounded" and exists

over a "finite" interval. If either of these conditions is not true then the
 integral is said to be "improper”.

Q.2# Why do we replace the infinity with a variable solving the improper
integrals?

Answer: Such type of integrals in which one or both of the limits of

integration are infinity, the interval of integration is said to be over an
infinite interval. We will replace the infinity with a variable (usually t), do
the integral and then take the limit of the result as t goes to infinity.

Q.3# When the limit of improper integral converges or diverges?

Answer: The value of the limits is the value assigned to the integral. If this
limit exists, the improper integral is said to be converge i.e. we will call
these integrals convergent if the associated limit exists and is a finite
number (i.e. it is not plus or minus infinity).

If the limit does not exist, then the improper integral is called to diverge, in
which case it is not assigned a value i.e. divergent if the associated limits
either doesn’t exist or is (plus or minus) infinity.

Acute Angles

An acute angle is an angle measuring between 0 and 90 degrees.

Example:

The following angles are all acute angles.

Q: What is Alternate Exterior Angles

For any pair of parallel lines 1 and 2, that are both intersected by a third line, such as line 3 in the
diagram below, angle A and angle D are called alternate exterior angles. Alternate exterior
angles have the same degree measurement. Angle B and angle C are also alternate exterior
angles.

Define Alternate Interior Angles

For any pair of parallel lines 1 and 2, that are both intersected by a third line, such as line 3 in the
diagram below, angle A and angle D are called alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles
have the same degree measurement. Angle B and angle C are also alternate interior angles.
Define Angle Bisector

An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal angles.

Example:

The blue ray on the right is the angle bisector of the angle on the left.

The red ray on the right is the angle bisector of the angle on the left.

Q: Define Angle of inclination

The angle of inclination:

The positive angle, less than 180°, measured from the positive .x-axis to the given line.

Let l1 and l2 be the two non-vertical and non-perpendicular lines with slopes m1 and m2 respectively.
Let 1 and 2 be their inclinations, then m1 = tan 1 and m2 = tan 2. There are two angles and -
between the lines l1 and l2, given by
 tan = ± (m1-m2)(1+m1m2)

(m1  m2 )
This angle   tan 1 ( ) is always between 0° and 180°, and is measured
1  m1m2 )
counterclockwise from the part of the x-axis to the right of the line.

Q: define Angle of Inclination of a Line

Angle of Inclination of a Line

The angle between a line and the x-axis. This angle is always between 0° and 180°, and is
measured counter clock wise from the part of the x-axis to the right of the line.

Note: All horizontal lines have angle of inclination 0°. All vertical lines have angle of inclination

FAQ on Circle problem

Let P(2,3) be a point on circle with center (4,-1). Find the slope of the line that is tangent to the circle at
P.Here we need a diagram. But let me tell you about tangent to the circle; A tangent is a line that
touches the circle only on a single point. Consider the

diagram:

Let C be the center of the circle and P be the given point on the circle. Then we can find the slope of the
line CP and then also that of the perpendicular line that is the tangent to the circle at P (shown with red
color, tangent is always perpendicular to such line).

You solved as:

 Let P(2,3) the point on circle with center C(4,-1) then the slope of line CP is given as

1 3
m  2
42

This is the slope of the line CP , now we are to find the slope of the tangent line. As this is perpendicular
to the line CP so its slope is

-1/m= ½

Q: Define Complementary Angles

Two angles are called complementary angles if the sum of their degree measurements equals 90
degrees. One of the complementary angles is said to be the complement of the other.

Example:

These two angles are complementary.

What is Complex Numbers?

The number of the form z = a + ib where a and b are real numbers and “i” read as iota.

“a” is called the real part of the complex number and “b” is called the imaginary part of the complex
number.

Every real number can be written in the form of complex number with 0 imaginary part.

For example 5 is a real number it become a complex number in this way 5 + 0i. Here 5 is the real part
and 0 is the imaginary part.

Real numbers is a subset of complex numbers.

The set of complex number is denoted by C.

The complex number z = a + ib can be written as (a, b).

Define Composition of function ?

In simple words:
When we operate an operator (operator may be addition or subtraction or any other) on any two
functions we get a new function, that’s mean we compose a new function.

For example:-

If we have two functions

F(x)=1+ x  2 and g(x)=x-1

If we use addition operator between two functions then, we have

F(x)+ g(x) =( 1+ x  2 )+( x-1)

=1+ x  2 + x-1

=x+ x  2

(That’s mean we have compose a new function by adding two functions)

Another Example:-

If we have two functions

F(x)= x 3 and g(x)=x+4

(F g)(x)=f(g(x)) [By definition]

=f(x+4) [since g(x) =x+4]

= (x+4)3 [We have replace x by x+4 in F(x) since F(x) = x 3 ]

That’s mean we have compose a new function

Q: What are Continuous Function?

A function with a connected graph.

Q: What’s meant by Coordinates Lines?

In coordinate geometry, ox and oy are two lines intersecting at right angles at O,

where Ox and Oy are the coordinate axes or Coordinates Lines and O is the origin. Any point
lying to the right of Oy has a positive x-coordinate and any point above the Ox axis has a
positive y-coordinate as indicated in fig below. Any point P can be determined if its distance
from the x and y axis are given. The distance of a point P from the y-axis is called the x-
coordinate of the point and its distance from the x-axis, the y-coordinate.
A point P whose x-coordinate is  and y-coordinate  is represented by P(  ).

Q: What are Coordinate Plane:

To draw a coordinate plane, start with a sheet of graph or any plane paper. Next, draw two
lines perpendicular to each passing through origin, making angle of 90 degree with each
other.
The line along the horizontal is called x-axis and the vertical line is called y-axis. The point
where the x and y axes intersect is called the origin.

Locating Points:

We can locate any point on the coordinate plane as shown in figure. For
example, to graph the point P(4, 2) we count right along the x axis 4 units, and then count
up 2 units. Be careful to always start with the x axis, the point (4,2) is very different than
the point (2,4)

Q: Define coordinate system

In analytical geometry, we can describe every point in three-dimensional space by means of three
coordinates. Three coordinate axes make right angle with the other two at their mutual crossing point,
called the origin .They are usually labeled as x, y, and z. Relative to these axes, the position of any point
in three-dimensional space can be given by an ordered triple (x,y,z) of real numbers such as (3,5,7) or (-
5,6)-8), each number giving the distance of that point from the origin measured along the axis.

Coordinate systems

We can locate points in a given space by means of numerical quantities specified with
respect to some frame of reference such as origin. These quantities are the coordinates of a point. To
each set of coordinates, there corresponds just one point in any coordinate system.

A Cartesian coordinate system is one of the simplest and most useful systems of
coordinates. It is constructed by choosing a point “O” designated as the origin. Through it, there
are three intersecting directed lines OX, OY, OZ, the coordinate axes. The coordinates of a point
P are (x, y, z ). Usually the three axes are taken to be mutually perpendicular, in which case, the
system is known as rectangular Cartesian.
Q:Define Corresponding Angles

For any pair of parallel lines 1 and 2, that are both intersected by a third line, such as line 3 in the
diagram below, angle A and angle C are called corresponding angles. Corresponding angles have
the same degree measurement. Angle B and angle D are also corresponding angles.

Simple Example of Derivate

The derivate of ( x) 2

Differentiate it with respect to “x”

First we apply the Power Rule, and then we differentiate the function with respect to the given variable

dx
 2x
dx

= 2x (1)

= 2x

here 2x comes by power rule, and then we differentiate the function””(x)”” with respect to the given
variable “x” which is equal to 1

Now
The derivate of ( y ) 2

Differentiate it with respect to “x”

dy
 2y
dx

here 2y comes by power rule, and then we differentiate the function””(y)”” with respect to the given
dy
variable “x” which become
dx

If

The derivate of ( y ) 2

Differentiate it with respect to “y”

Then its answer comes

dy
 2y
dy

= 2y (1)

=2y

Q: Explain Discontinuous Function

A function with a graph that is not connected.

Using definition of Theorem 2.7.7, we can show that function is continuous at point c.

A function f is continuous from left at the point c if

1. f( c) is defined.

2. lim f ( x) exists.
x c

3. lim f ( x) = f(c)
x c 

And f is called continuous from right at the point c if

1. f(c) defined.
2. lim f ( x) exists.
x c

3. lim f ( x) = f( c)
x c 

If function f is continuous from both left and right at point c, then f is continuous at point x =
c.

And generally function is continuous at x = c if

lim f ( x) = f(c ) = lim f ( x)

x c  x c

Q: Define Distance Formula

A point (x, y) moves so that its distance to (2, 0) is 2 times its distance to (0,1)

(a). Show that the point moves along a circle

(b). find the center and radius

Solution:

(a) By using distance formula

 x  2   y  0
2 2
Distance of point to (2, 0) from (x, y) =

 x  0   y  1
2 2
Distance of point to (0,1) from (x, y)=

By given condition

Distance to (2, 0) is 2 times its distance to (0,1 )

So

 x  2   y  0  x  0   y  1
2 2 2 2
= 2

Squaring both sides we get

 x  2 2
  y  0
2
  2  x  0   y  1 
2 2

on simplification
x2  4x  y 2  4 y  2

As we done in above question, same procedure

By completing square
 x  2   y  2  10
2 2

 x  2   y  2  10 
2

2 2
or

 x  (2)    y  2    10 
2 2 2
Since this is the equation of the circle, and by the definition of circle, (The distance from a fixed point to
a locus (movable point) is always constant)

It mean that the point (-2, 2) will always point on along the circle having the fixed radius 10

And

 center  2, 2  and radius 10

Q: Define Equity problem

Show that x2  9  x2  9

Solution:
 x2  9  x2  9
As x  a  a  x  a
So   x2  9  x2  9  x2  9
  x2  9  x2  9 and x2  9  x2  9
But sec ond is true for all values so
  x2  9  x2  9   2  x2  9  0     1
 x2  9  0
 x 2  9

Now it is clear that for all value of x , x2 will be non-negative and hence always greater than -9. This
shows that the inequality holds for all values of x and hence the whole set of real numbers is the
solution set of the given inequality.

You may also use the test point method for that where you’ll find two points -3 & 3 and hence
the intervals (- infinity, -3) , (-3 , 3) & (3, infinity). All these intervals satisfy the inequality, also the points
3 and -3 do so which shows the set of real numbers is the solution set for the given inequality.

Q Explain Inequality problem

Solve the inequality and sketch the solution on a coordinate line.

 2x-1>11x+9

Solution:-

2x-1>11x+9

2x-11x > 9+1

-9x > 10

Multiplying both sides by -

9x <- 10

10
x<
9

x < -1.11

On coordinate line

Region A Region B

 -4 -3 -2 -1.11 -1 0 1 2 + 

Or

We can draw on coordinate lien as

Verification of solution:

For region A,

Put x= -3, in equation (1) we take this arbitrary point x=-3, because it lies
in interval  and -10/9.

2(-3)-1 >11(-3) + 9

-6-1 > -33+9

-7 > -24 (True statement)

For region B,

Put x=0, in equation (1) we take this arbitrary point x=0, because it lies
in interval -10/9 and+∞.

2(0)-1>11(0) + 9

-1>9 (False statement)

Hence Solution Set is

( -∞,  )

Q:What is Inequality?
The statement involving < (less than), > (greater than)  (greater than and equal to),  (less than and
equal to) is called inequality.

For example 3<4 this statement (inequality) shows that the real number 3 is less than 4,

3  4 this inequality shows whether 3 is less or equal to 4. Here 3 is less than 4.

4  4 here 4 is equal to 4.

Q: Define Integer Number

Integers are the whole numbers, negative whole numbers, and zero.

For example, 43434235, 28, 2, 0, -28, and -3030 are integers, but numbers like 1/2, 4.00032, 2.5,
Pi, and -9.90 are not.

We can say that an integer is in the set: {...3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...} It is often useful to think of the
integers as points along a 'number line', like this:

Note that zero is neither positive nor negative

Q: What is Interval:

An interval is a set that contains a real number between two indicated real numbers numbers, and
possibly the two numbers themselves.

For example 5 < x < 9 is an interal in which the real number x lies between 5 and 9.

There are four types of interval

1. open interval
2. closed interval
3. semi open (one sided open)
4. semi closed (open sided closed)
Example Measure of Angle in degree

Degrees: Measuring Angles

We measure the size of an angle using degrees.

Example: Here are some examples of angles and their degree measurements.

Q: Define Obtuse Angles

An obtuse angle is an angle measuring between 90 and 180 degrees.

Example:

The following angles are all obtuse.

Q:Define Open interval and closed Interval

Open interval

The open interval from a to b is denoted by (a, b) and is defined as (a, b)  {x : a  x  b}

Here the real numbers a and b are not included in the interval.

Closed interval:

The closed interval from a to b is denoted by [a, b] and is defined as (a, b)  {x : a  x  b}

Here the real numbers a and b are included in the interval.

Q: Define Polynomial:

The sum or difference of terms which have variables raised to positive integer powers and which
have coefficients that may be real or complex

The following are all polynomials: 5x3 – 2x2 + x – 13, x2y3 + xy, and (1 + i)a2 + ib2.

Monomials:

The polynomials with 1 term is known as monomials e.g , , or are monomials.

Binomials:

The polynomials with 2 terms which are not like terms is known as binomials. E.g. x + 2y, 2x –
3, 3x5 +8x4, and 2ab – 6a2b5.

Trinomials:

A polynomial with three terms which are not like terms. The following are all trinomials: x2 + 2x
- 3, 3x5 - 8x4 + x3, and a2b + 13x + c.

Standard form for a polynomial in one variable:

anxn + an–1xn–1 + ··· + a2x2 + a1x + a0

What is Rational number:

A rational number is any number that can be written as a ratio of two integers. In other words, a
number is rational if we can write it as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are both
integers and denominator can not be equal to zero.

The term "rational" comes from the word "ratio," because the rational numbers are the ones that
can be written in the ratio form p/q where p and q are integers and q not equal to zero.

Every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1. For
example 5 = 5/1 and thus 5 is a rational number. However, numbers like 1/2, 45, and -3/7 are
also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers and
denominator not equal to zero.

Q: Explain Real Numbers

For any real number

(a)2 =|a|

Proof:

We can write a2. In this way also

As

a2 = (+a)2

Also

a2 = (-a)2

Since a2 = (+a)2 = (-a)2

The numbers +a and –a are squares roots of a2.

As you know

16 =+4 and -4
Or

16 =  4

So we also write

(a) 2   a

Now there are two conditions

(1).

If a  0, then +a is the non negative square root of a 2 and

(2).

If a<0 then –a is the nonnegative square root of a2.

Since (a)2 denotes the non negative square root of a2

We have

Thus if we take

As from above (1)

(a)2 =+a if a  0

As from above (2)

(a) 2 = - a if a <0

That is

As
|a| =  a

We can write combine as

(a) 2   a

(a)2 =|a|

Q: Define Right Angles

A right angle is an angle measuring 90 degrees. Two lines or line segments that meet at a right
angle are said to be perpendicular. Note that any two right angles are supplementary angles (a
right angle is its own angle supplement).

Example:

The following angles are both right angles.

Q:Deifne Supplementary Angles

Two angles are called supplementary angles if the sum of their degree measurements equals 180
degrees. One of the supplementary angles is said to be the supplement of the other.

Example:

These two angles are supplementary.

Note that these two angles can be "pasted" together to form a straight line!

Define Surface Area

Surface Area
In this section we want to find the surface area of this region. Let us consider, rotating the continuous

function in the interval about the x-axis. Below is a sketch of a function and the
solid of revolution we get by rotating the function about the x-axis.
We can derive a formula for the surface area much as we derived the formula for arc length We will
start by dividing the integral into n equal subintervals of width . On each subinterval we will
approximate the function with a straight line that agrees with the function at the endpoints of the each
interval. Here is a sketch of that for our

Representative function using n=4.

Now, rotate the approximations about the x-axis and we get the following solid.
The approximation on each interval gives a distinct portion of the solid and to make this clear each
portion is colored differently. Each of these portions is called frustums and we know how to find the
surface area of frustums.

The surface area of a frustum is given by,

A=2  r l

Where,

l is the length of the slant of the frustum

Q: Difne Slope Formula

The Slope formula (Slope of the line between two points) between any two points A (x1, y1) and B
(x2, y2) in the space is given by

y2  y1
m
x2  x1

Where “m” is the slope of the line.

Example:

Find the slope of the line between the two points A (1, 1) and B (-2,-8)

Solution:

Slope formula between the two points is given by

 y2  y1
m
x2  x1

Putting the values (as by the giving point s)

8  1
Thus m 3
2  1

9
m 3
3

m3

Thus slope of the line between the two points is m  3

Q: Define Vertical Angles

For any two lines that meet, such as in the diagram below, angle AEB and angle DEC are called
vertical angles. Vertical angles have the same degree measurement. Angle BEC and angle AED
are also vertical angles.
Q.1# What is the difference between a Taylor series and a Maclaurin series?

Answer: The Taylor series is a representation of a function as an infinite sum of terms calculated from
the values of its derivatives at a single point. It may be regarded as the limit of the Taylor polynomials. If
the series is centered at zero, the series is also called a Maclaurin series.

Q.2# What are the applications of the Taylor series?

Answer:

 Some functions have no antiderivative which can be expressed in terms of familiar functions.
This makes evaluating definite integrals of these functions difficult because the Fundamental
Theorem of Calculus cannot be used. However, if we have a series representation of a function,
we can oftentimes use that to evaluate a definite integral.

Example: Suppose we want to evaluate the definite integral

The integrand has no antiderivative expressible in terms of familiar functions. However, we know how to
find its Taylor series: we know that

Now if we substitute , we have

In spite of the fact that we cannot antidifferentiate the function; we can antidifferentiate the Taylor
series:
Note that this is an alternating series so we know that it converges. If we add up the first four terms, the
pattern becomes clear: the series converges to 0.31026.

 Sometimes, a Taylor’s series can tell us useful information about how a function behaves in an
important part of its domain.
 Some differential equations cannot be solved in terms of familiar functions (just as some
functions do not have antiderivatives which can be expressed in terms of familiar functions). In
this case we use the Taylor’s series.

Q.3# How do we find Maclaurin series of f (x) = ex?

Answer:Maclaurin series are important in many areas of mathematics. They are often used to define
functions.

To write down the Maclaurin series we need to know the value at x = 0 of every derivative of the
function. This is usually the practical problem that we face in working out Taylor series. In this case it is
easy since every derivative of ex is ex and this has value 1 at x = 0. It turns out that this is actually equal to
the value of ex for any value of x. So the Maclaurin series becomes

We often find this given as the definition of ex.
