CONTENTS
To the Student
This collection of solved problems covers elementary and intermediate calculus, and much of advanced
calculus. We have aimed at presenting the broadest range of problems that you are likely to encounter—the
old chestnuts, all the current standard types, and some not so standard.
Each chapter begins with very elementary problems. Their difficulty usually increases as the chapter pro-
gresses, but there is no uniform pattern.
It is assumed that you have available a calculus textbook, including tables for the trigonometric, logarith-
mic, and exponential functions. Our ordering of the chapters follows the customary order found in many
textbooks, but as no two textbooks have exactly the same sequence of topics, you must expect an occasional
discrepancy from the order followed in your course.
The printed solution that immediately follows a problem statement gives you all the details of one way to
solve the problem. You might wish to delay consulting that solution until you have outlined an attack in your
own mind. You might even disdain to read it until, with pencil and paper, you have solved the problem
yourself (or failed gloriously). Used thus, 3000 Solved Problems in Calculus can almost serve as a supple-
ment to any course in calculus, or even as an independent refresher course.

nequalities
Solve 3+ 2*<7.
Answer x<2 [Divide both sides by 2. This is equivalent to multiplying by 5.] In interval notation, the
solution is the set (—°°, 2).
Solve 5- 3* < 5x+ 2.
Answer 1 <x [Divide both sides by 8.] In interval notation, the solution is the set (|,°°).
Solve -7<2x + 5<9.
Answer —6 < x < 2 [Divide by 2.] In interval notation, the solution is the set (—6,2).
Solve 3<4x-l<5.
Answer 1 s x <  [Divide by 4.] In interval notation, the solution is the set [1, |).
Solve 4<-2x + 5<7.
Answer  >*>-! [Divide by -2. Since -2 is negative, we must reverse the inequalities.] In interval
notation, the solution is the set [-1, |).
Solve 5< x. +1 s 6.
Answer 12<^sl5 [Multiplyby 3.] In interval notation, the solution is the set [12,15].
Solve 2/jc<3.
Case 2. x<0. 2/x<3. 2>3x [Multiply by jr. Reverse the inequality.], |>jc [Divide by 3.] Notice
that this condition |>x is satisfied whenever jc<0. Hence, in the case where x<0, the inequality is
satisfied by all such x.
Answer f < x or x < 0. As shown in Fig. 1-1, the solution is the union of the intervals (1,«) and (—°°, 0).

negative. Case 1. x-3>0 [This is equivalent to x>3.] Multiplying the given inequality (1) by the
positive quantity x-3 preserves the inequality: *+ 4<2;t-6, 4 < x - 6 [Subtract jr.], 10<x[Add
6.] Thus, when x>3, the given inequality holds when and only when x>10. Case 2. x-3<0 [This
is equivalent to x<3]. Multiplying the given inequality (1) by the negative quantity x —3 reverses the
inequality: *+ 4>2*-6, 4>x-6 [Subtract*.], 10>x [Add6.] Thus, when x<3, the inequality

2x < 4 [Subtract 3 from both sides. This is equivalent to adding -3 to both sides.]
5-3>x<5x + 2, 5<8* + 2 [Add 3x to both sides.], 3<8* [Subtract 2 from both sides.]
-7 < 2* + 5 < 9, -12 < 2x < 4 [Subtract 5 from all terms.]

x may be positive or negative. Case 1. x>0. 2/x<3. 2<3x [Multiply by AC.], |<jc [Divide by 3.]
We cannot simply multiply both sides by x - 3, because we do not know whether x - 3 is positive or

(1) holds when and only when x < 10. But x < 3 implies x < 10, and, therefore, the inequality (1) holds
for all x<3.
Answer *>10 or x<3. As shown in Fig. 1-2,the solution is the union of the intervals (10, oo) and
(~»,3).

x>-5. Case 2. x + 5<0 [This isequivalent to x<-5.]. We multiply the inequality ( 1 ) by x +5. The
inequality is reversed, since we are multiplying by a negative number. x>x + 5, 0>5 [Subtract*.] Butinequality is reversed, since we are multiplying by a negative number. x>x + 5, 0>5 [Subtract*.] But
0 > 5 is false. Hence, the inequality (1) does not hold at all in this case.
Answer x > -5. In interval notation, the solution is the set (-5, °°).
2x +6, -7>x+6 [Subtract x.], -13>x [Subtract 6.] But x<-13 is always false when *>-3.
Hence, this case yields no solutions. Case 2. x +3<0 [This is equivalent to x<— 3.]. Multiply the
inequality (1) by x + 3. Since x + 3 is negative, the inequality is reversed. x-7<2x + 6, —7<x + 6
[Subtract x.] ~3<x [Subtract 6.] Thus, when x < —3, the inequality (1) holds when and only when
*>-13.
Answer —13 < x < —3. In interval notation, the solution is the set (—13, —3).

Reverse the inequality.], -3<7jr-15 [Subtract 2*.], 12 < 7x [Add 15.], ^ sx [Divide by7.] Thus,
when x< f, the solutions must satisfy x^ !
f . This is impossible. Hence, this case yields no solutions.
Answer f < x s -y. In interval notation, the solution is the set (§, ^].

and x + 3>0. Then x>2 and jt>—3. But these are equivalent to x>2 alone, since x>2 im-and x + 3>0. Then x>2 and jt>—3. But these are equivalent to x>2 alone, since x>2 im-
plies x>-3. Case 2. *-2<0 and A: + 3<0. Then x<2 and jc<—3, which are equivalent to
x<—3, since x<-3 implies x<2.
Answer x > 2 or x < -3. In interval notation, this is the union of (2, °°) and (—<», —3).
1.13 Solve Problem 1.12by considering the sign of the function f(x) = (x —2)(x + 3).
one passes through x - —3, the factor x - 3 changes sign and, therefore, f(x) becomes negative. f(x)
remains negative until we pass through x = 2, where the factor x —2 changes sign and f(x) becomes and
then remains positive. Thus, f(x) is positive for x < —3 and for x > 2. Answer

F(x) changes back to being positive. Thus, F(x) is negative for -8 < x < 1. Answer

changes sign and, therefore, H(x) becomes negative again. Finally, when we pass through x = l, x-

The well-known triangle inequality asserts that |« + U|S|M| + |U|. Prove by mathematical induction that, for
n >2, |u, + H2 + • • • + un < |u,| + |uz| + • •• + |M,,|.
The case n = 2 is the triangle inequality. Assume the result true for some n. By the triangleinequality
and the inductive hypothesis,
|u, + «2 + •• •+ un + wn+1|s|u, + u2 + • • • + «„! + k+1|s(|M,| + |uz| + •••+ |MJ) + |u,,+1|
and, therefore, the result also holds for n + 1.
Prove |M —v > | u —v .

Find a point-slope equation of the line through the points (1, 3) and (3, 6).
The slope mofthegiven line is (6- 3)/(3 - 1)= |. Recall that thepoint-slope equation ofthelinethrough
point (x1, y^) and with slope m is y —yt
=
tn(x —*,). Hence, one point-slope equation of the given line, using
the point (1, 3), is y —3= (x —1). Answer
Another point-slope equation, using the point (3,6), is y - 6 = (x —3). Answer
Write a point-slope equation of the line through the points (1,2) and (1,3).
The line through (1,2) and (1,3) is vertical and, therefore, does not have a slope. Thus, there is no
point-slope equation of the line.
Find a point-slope equation of the line going through the point (1,3) with slope 5.
y -3 = 5(* - 1). Answer
Find the slope of the line having the equation y - 7 = 2(x - 3) and find a point on the line.
y —7 = 2(x - 3) is a point-slope equation of the line. Hence, the slope m = 2, and (3, 7) is a point on
the line.
Find the slope-intercept equation of the line through the points (2,4) and (4,8).
Remember that the slope-intercept equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the
y-intercept (that is, the v-coordinate of the point where the line cuts the y-axis). In this case, the slope
m = (8-4)7(4-2) = | = 2 .
Method 1. A point-slope equation of the line is y-8 = 2(* — 4). This is equivalent to y-8 = 2* — 8, or,
finally, to y = 2x. Answer
Method 2. The slope-intercept equation has the form y = 2x + b. Since (2,4) lies on the line, we may
substitute 2 for x and 4 for y. So, 4 = 2 - 2 + 6 , and, therefore, b = 0. Hence, the equation is y = 2x.
Answer
Find the slope-intercept equation of the line through the points (—1,6) and (2,15).
The slope m = (15 -6)/[2- (-1)] = 1 = 3. Hence, the slope-intercept equation looks like y=3x+b.
Since (-1, 6) is on the line, 6 = 3 •(— ) + b, and therefore, b = 9. Hence, the slope-intercept equation is
y = 3x +9.
Find the slope-intercept equation of the line through (2, —6) and the origin.
The origin hascoordinates (0,0). So,theslope m =(-6 - 0) 1(2 - 0) = -1 = -3. Since theline cutsthe
y-axis at (0, 0), the y-intercept b is 0. Hence, the slope-intercept equation is y = -3x.
Find the slope-intercept equation of the line through (2,5) and (—1, 5).
The line is horizontal. Since it passes through (2,5), an equation for it is y=5. But, this is the
slope-intercept equation, since the slope m = 0 and the y-intercept b is 5.

CHAPTER 3
Find the slope and y-intercept of the line given by the equation 7x + 4y = 8.
If we solve the equation Ix + 4y = 8 for y, we obtain the equation y = —x +2, which is the
slope-intercept equation. Hence, the slope m = —I and the y-intercept b = 2.
Show that every line has an equation of the form Ax + By = C, where A and B are not both 0, and that,
conversely, every such equation is the equation of a line.
If a given line is vertical, it has an equation x = C. In this case, we can let A = 1 and B = 0. If the
given line is not vertical, it has a slope-intercept equation y = mx + b, or, equivalently, — mx + y = b. So,
let A — — m, 5 = 1, and C = b. Conversely, assume that we are given an equation Ax + By = C, with
A and B not both 0. If B = 0, the equation is equivalent to x= CIA, which is the equation of a vertical
line. If B ^ 0, solve the equation for y:
with slope
Find an equation of the line L through (-1,4) and parallel to the line M with the equation 3x + 4y = 2.
Remember that two lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal. If we solve 3x + 4y = 2 for y,
namely, y= — f * + i, we obtain the slope-intercept equation forM. Hence, the slope ofMis —|and,
therefore, the slope of the parallel line L also is -|. So, L has a slope-intercept equation of the form
y=-x + b. Since L goes through (-1,4), 4= - • (-1) + b, and, therefore, fc=4-i="- Thus, the
equation of L is y = - x + T •
Show that the lines parallel to a line Ax + By = C are those lines havingequations of the form Ax + By = E
for some E. (Assume that B =£ 0.)
If we solve Ax + By = C for y, we obtain the slope-intercept equation
-A/B. Given a parallel line, it must also have slope —A/B and,therefore, has a slope-intercept equation
equation Ax + By = E must have slope -A/B (obtained by putting the equation in slope-intercept form) and
is, therefore, parallel to the line with equation Ax + By = C.
Find an equation of the line through (2, 3) and parallel to the line with the equation 4x —2y = 7.
By Problem 3.13, the required line must have an equation of the form 4x - 2y = E. Since (2, 3) lies on the
line, 4(2)- 2(3)= E. So, £ = 8-6 = 2. Hence, the desired equation is 4x - 2y = 2.
Find an equation of the line through (2,3) and parallel to the line with the equation y = 5.
Since y =5 is the equation of a horizontal line, the required parallel line is horizontal. Since it passes
through (2, 3), an equation for it is y = 3.
Show that any line that is neither vertical nor horizontal and does not pass through the origin has an equation of
the form
In Problem 3.11,set CIA = a and CIB = b. Notice that, when y = 0, the equation yields the value
x = a, and, therefore, a is the x-intercept of the line. Similarly for the y-intercept.

Find an equation of the line through the points (0,2) and (3,0).
The y-intercept is b = 2 and the ^-intercept is a = 3. So, by Problem 3.16, an equation of the line is
If the point (2, k) lies on the line with slope m = 3 passing through the point (1, 6), find k.
A point-slope equation of the line is y —6 = 3(x —1). Since (2, k) lies on the line, k —6 = 3(2-1).
Hence, k =9.
Does the point (-1, -2) lie on the line L through the points (4,7) and (5,9)?
The slope of L is (9- 7)7(5 - 4) = 2. Hence, a point-slope equation of L is y-7 =2(x- 4). Ifwe
substitute —1 for x and -2 for y in this equation, we obtain —2 —7 = 2(-l —4), or —9 = -10, which is
false. Hence, (—1, —2) does not lie on L.
Find the slope-intercept equation of the line M through (1,4) that is perpendicular to the line L with equation
2x - 6y = 5.
Solve 2x - 6y =5 fory, obtaining y = x — f. So, the slope of L isj. Recall that twolines with slopes
m1 and m2 are perpendicular if and only if w,w2 = —1, or, equivalently, m, = —1 Im2. Hence, the slope of
M is the negative reciprocal of 3, that is, -3. The slope-intercept equation of M has the form y = -3x + b.
Since (1,4) is on M, 4 = — 3 - 1 + fe. Hence, b =7, and the required equation is y = -3x + 1.
Show that, if a line L has the equation Ax + By - C, then a line M perpendicular to L has an equation of the
form - Bx+Ay = E.
Assume first that L is not a vertical line. Hence, B ^ 0. So, Ax + By —C is equivalent to y =
slope-intercept equation has the form
-Bx + Ay = Ab. In this case, E = Ab. (In the special case when A =0, L is horizontal and M isvertical.
Then M has an equation x = a, which is equivalent to -Bx = -Ba. Here, E = -Ba and A - 0.) If
L is vertical (in which case, B = 0), M is horizontal and has an equation of the form y = b, which is
equivalent to Ay = Ab. In this case, E = Ab and B = 0.
Find an equation of the line through the point (2, -3) and perpendicular to the line 4x - 5y =7.
The required equation has the form 5* + 4>' = E (seeProblem 3.21). Since (2,—3) lies on the line,
5(2) + 4(-3) = E. Hence, E=~2, and the desired equation is 5x + 4y=-2.
Show that two lines, L with equation A1x + Bly=C1 and Mwith equation Azx + B2y = C2, are parallel if
and only if their coefficients of x and y are proportional, that is, there is a nonzero number r such that A2 = rA,
and B2 = rBl.
Assume that A2 = rAl and B2 = rBl, with r^O. Then the equation of M is rAtx + rBty = C2,
which is equivalent to A^x + B,}> = - •C2. Then, by Problem 3.13, Mis parallel to L. Conversely, assume M
is parallel to L. By solving the equations of L and M for y, we see that the slope of L is — (A ,/B,) and the slope
of M is ~(A2/B2). Since M and L are parallel, their slopes are equal:
nr
(In the special case where the lines are vertical, Bl = B2 =0, and we can set r = A2/A,.)
Determine whether the lines 3x + 6y = 7 and 2x +4y = 5 are parallel.

Use slopes to determine whether the points A(4,1), 5(7, 3), and C(3,9) are the vertices of a right triangle.
The slope m1 of line AB is (3- l)/(7-4) = f. Theslope w2 of line BCis (9 -3)/(3 -7) = -f = -|.
Since m2 is the negative reciprocal of m}, the lines AB and BC are perpendicular. Hence, AABC has a right
angle at B.
Determine k so that the points A(7,5), B(-l, 2), and C(k, 0) are the vertices of a right triangle with right angle at
B.
The slope of line AB is (5-2)/[7-(-1)] = §. The slope of line BC is (2-0)/(-l - *) = -2/(l + it).
The condition for AABC to have a right angle at B is that lines AB and BC are perpendicular, which holds when
and only when the product of their slopes is —1, that is (|)[—2/(l + k)] = —I. This is equivalent to
6 = 8(1 + *), or 8* = -2, or k=-.
Find the slope-intercept equation of the line through (1,4) and rising 5 units for each unit increase in x.
Since the line rises 5 units for each unit increase in x, its slope must be 5. Hence, its slope-intercept equation
has the form y = 5x + b. Since (1,4) lies on the line, 4 = 5(l) + b. So, b = —1. Thus, the equation is
y =5x-l.
Use slopes to show that the points A(5, 4), B(-4, 2), C(-3, -3), and D(6,-1) are vertices of a parallelogram.
The slope of ABis (4-2)/[5 - (-4)] =| andtheslope of CD is [-3 -(-l)]/(-3 -j6) =|; hence,
AB andCDareparallel. The slope ofBC is (-3 - 2)/[-3 - (-4)] = -5 andtheslope ofADis (-1 - 4)/
(6 —5) = -5, and,therefore, BC and AD are parallel. Thus, ABCD is a parallelogram.
For what value of k will the line kx + 5y = 2k have ^-intercept 4?
When *= 0, y =4. Hence, 5(4) = 2*. So, k = 10.
For what value of k will the line kx +5y - 2k have slope 3?
Solve for y:
A: =-15.
For what value of k will the line kx + 5y = 2k be perpendicular to the line 2x —3_y = 1?
By the solution to Problem 3.30, the slope of kx + 5y = 2k is —k/5. By solving for y, the slope of
2x —3y —1 is found to be |. For perpendicularity, the product of the slopes must be —1. Hence,
(~fc/5)-i = -1. So, 2k= 15, and,therefore, k=%.
Find the midpoint of the line segment between (2, 5) and (—1, 3).
By the midpoint formula, the coordinates of the midpoint are the averages of the coordinates of the endpoints.
In this case, the midpoint (x, y) is given by ([2 + (-l)]/2, (5 + 3)/2) = (|, 4).
A triangle has vertices A(l,2), B(8,1), C(2,3). Find the equation of the median from A to the midpoint M of

The midpoint M of segment BC is ((8 + 2)/2, (1 + 3)/2) = (5,2). So, AM is horizontal, with equation
y = 2.
For the triangle of Problem 3.33, find an equation of the altitude from B to the opposite side AC.
The slope of AC is (3 - 2)/(2 —1) = 1. Hence, the slope of the altitude is the negative reciprocal of 1,
namely, —1. Thus, its slope-intercept equation has the form y = —x + b. Since B(8,1) is on the altitude,
1 = -8 + b, and, so, b = 9. Hence, the equation is y = -x +9.

This is the slope-intercept equation. Hence, the slope m = —k/5 = 3. So,
For the triangle of Problem 3.33, find an equation of the perpendicular bisector of side AB.
The midpoint N of AB is ((1+ 8)/2, (2 +l)/2) = (9/2,3/2). The slope of AB is (2- !)/(!- 8) = -$.
Hence, the slope of the desired line is the negative reciprocal of -7, that is, 7. Thus, the slope-intercept
equation of theperpendicular bisector has theform y = lx + b. Since (9/2,3/2) lies on theline, | =
7(|) + b. So, fe = i - f = -30. Thus, thedesired equation is y = Ix -30.
If a line L has the equation 3x + 2y = 4, prove that a point P(.x, y) is above L if and only if 3x + 2y > 4.
Solving for y, we obtain the equation y=—x +2. For anyfixedx, the vertical line with that x-coordinate
cuts the line at the point Q where the y-coordinate is —x + 2 (seeFig.3-2). The points along that vertical
line and above Q have y-coordinates y>— x +2. This is equivalent to 2y>-3* + 4, and thence to
3* + 2y> 4.

Generalize Problem 3.36to the case of any line Ax + By = C (B^ 0).

point P(x,y) is above this line if and only if Ax + By <C.
Use two inequalities to describe the set of all points above the line L: 4x +3y = 9 and below the line M:

y-axis. («') The slope of BC is — w/v. So, the altitude from A to BC has slope vlw. Its slope-intercept
equation has the form y = (v/w)x + b. Since (M,0) lies on the line, 0 = (v/w)(u) + b; hence, itsy-intercept
b = — vu/w^ Thus, this altitude intersects the altitude from C (the y-axis) at the point (0, -vulw). (Hi) The
slope of AC is —w/u. So, the altitude from B to AC has slope ulw, and its slope-intercept equation is
y = (ulw)x + b. Since (v, 0) lies on the altitude, 0 = (u/w)(v) + b, and its y-intercept b = —uv/w. Thus,
this altitude also goes through the point (0, — vulw).

let D be (d, f). The midpoint M, of AB has coordinates (v/2,0), the midpoint_M2 of 1C is ((c + v)/2,
e/2), the midpoint M3 of CD is ((c + d)/2, (e +/)/2), and the midpoint M4 of ~AD is (d/2, f/2).
Slope of line
Thus, MtM2 and M3M4 are parallel. Similarly, the slopes of M2M3 and MjM4 both turn out to be//(d —u), and
therefore M2M3 and M,M4 are parallel. Thus, M1M2M3M4 is a parallelogram. (Note two special cases. When
c = 0, both MjM2 and M3M4 are vertical and, therefore, parallel. When d=v, both MjM4 and M2M3 are
vertical and, therefore, parallel.)

I Choose the jc-axis so that it goes through A and B and let the origin be halfway between A and B. Let A be

the distance formula,
Setting AM1 = BM2 and squaring both sides, we obtain [(3a r c)/2]2 + (d/2)2 = [(3a + c)/2]2 + (d/2)2,
and, simplifying, (3a - c)2

yielding the lines x-2y = -ll and *+ 2>> = 21. A single equation for the path of the point would
be (x-2y +ll)(x +2y-2l) =0.
Find the equations of the lines through (4, —2) and at a perpendicular distance of 2 units from the origin.
A point-slope equation of a line through (4, —2) with slope m is y + 2 = m(x —4) or mx —y —(4m +

Its slope must be -3. So, its equation has the form y = -3x + b. Then, 1= —3(5) + b, b =16.
Thus, the equation is y = —3x +16.

Since the line y = 1 is horizontal, the desired line must be horizontal. It passes through (0,0),and,
therefore, its equation is y = 0.

Temperature is usually measured either in Fahrenheit or in Celsius degrees. The relation between Fahrenheit
and Celsius temperatures is given by a linear equation. The freezing point of water is 0° Celsius or 32°
Fahrenheit, and the boiling point of water is 100° Celsius or 212° Fahrenheit. Find an equation giving Fahrenheit
temperature y in terms of Celsius temperature *.
Since the equation is linear, we can write it as y —mx + b. From the information about the freezing point
of water, we see that b=32. From the information about the boiling point, we have 212= 100m +32,
180= 100m, m=. So, y = f* + 32.

Find an equation of the median from A to the midpoint of BC.
The midpoint M of BC is ((8 + 5)/2, (0 +3)/2) = (¥, 1). So, the slope of AM is (2 - § ) / ( ! - ¥ ) = -n-
Hence, the equation has the form y = —n* + b. Since A is on the line, 2— - f a + b, fc = ff • Thus, the

Find an equation of the altitude from B to AC.
Theslope of ACis (3 - 2)1(5 - 1)= . Hence, the slope ofthe altitude isthe negative reciprocal -4. So,
the desired equation has the form y = —4x + b. Since B is on the line, 0 = —32 + b, b = 32. So, the

Find an equation of the perpendicular bisector of AB.
The slope of AB is (2 —0)/(1 —8) = - f . Hence, the slope of the desired line is the negative reciprocal .
The line passes through the midpoint M of AB: M - ( , 1). The equation has the form y = x + b. Since
M is on the line, 1= 5• f + b, b = -™. Thus, the equation is y = |* - f , or 14*- 4y = 59.

Find the intersection of the lines x - 2y = 2 and 3* + 4y = 6.
We must solve x - 2y =2 and 3x +4y = 6 simultaneously. Multiply the first equation by 2, obtaining
2x - 4y = 4, and add this to the second equation. The result is 5x = 10, .v = 2. When x = 2, substitu-

Find the center and radius of the circle passing through the points (3, 8), (9,6), and (13, -2).
By Problem 4.9, the circle has an equation x2

+ Dx + Ey + F =0. Substituting the values (x, y) at
each of the three given points, we obtain three equations: 3D + 8E + F= -73, 9D + 6E + F= -117,
13D - 2E + F = —173. First, we eliminate F (subtracting the second equation from the first, and subtracting the
third equation from the first):
-10D + 10E =100
or, more simply
-3D+ £ = 22
-D +E = W
Subtracting the second equation from the first, -2D = 12, or D = -6. So, E = 10+ D = 4, and F =

Use a geometrical/coordinate method to find the standard equation of the circle passing through the points
A(0, 6), B(12,2), and C(16, -2).
Find the perpendicular bisector of AB. The slope of AB is - j and therefore the slope of the perpendicular
bisector is3. Since it passes through the midpoint (6, 4) of AB, a point-slope equation for it is y - 4 = 3(,x —6),
or, equivalently, y = 3x —14. Now find the perpendicular bisector of BC. A similar calculation yields
y = x - 14. Since the perpendicular bisector of a chord of a circle passes through the center of the circle, the
center of the circle will be the intersection point of y = 3x - 14 and y = x —14. Setting 3x - 14= x — 14,
we find x = 0. So, y = x - 14= —14. Thus, the center is (0,—14). The radius is the distance between the
center (0,-14) and any point on the circle, say (0,6): V(° ~ °)2

Find the standard equation of the circle passing through (-2, 1) andtangent to the line 3x - 2y - 6 at thepoint
(4,3).
Since the circle passes through (-2, 1) and (4, 3), its center (a, b) is on the perpendicular bisector of the
segment connecting those points. The center must also be on the line perpendicular to 3x-2y = 6 at (4, 3).
The equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment is found to be 3x + y = 5. The equation of the line
perpendicular to 3* - 2y = 6 at (4, 3) turns out to be 2x +3y = 17. Solving 3* + y =5 and 2* + 3.y =

Clearly, the indicated equation yields the equation of a circle that contains the intersection points.
Conversely, given a circle <€ ^ <&, that goes through those intersection points, take a point (xa, ya) of "£ that
does not lie on ^ and substitute x0 for x and y0 for y in the indicated equation. By choice of (*0, y0) the
coefficient of k is nonzero, so we can solve for k. If we then put this value of k in the indicated equation, we
obtain an equation of a circle that is satisfied by (x0, y0) and by the intersection points of <£, and <£2. Since three
noncollinear points determine a circle, we have an equation for (

the three points noncollinear; i.e., k¥^ -1.]

The domain consists of all real numbers except 2 and 3. To determine the range, set v =

fix) =2x+ l.
/(I) = 3 and /(-!)=-!. So, f(x) is neither even nor odd.
Show that a function f(x) is even if and only if its graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.
Assume that fix) is even. Let (jc, y) be on the graph of/. We must show that (—x, y) is also on the graph of

on the graph of/. Conversely, assume that the graph of/is symmetricwith respect to the _y-axis. Assume that
fix) is defined and f(x) =y. Then (x, y) is on the graph of/. By assumption, (-x, y) also is on the graph of/.
Hence, f(~x) =y. Then, /(-*)=/(*), and fix) is even.
Show that/(*) is odd if and only if the graph of/is symmetric with respect to the origin.
Assume that fix) is odd. Let (x, y) be on the graph of/. Then fix) = y. Since fix) is odd, fi—x) =
—fix) = —y, and, therefore, (—x, -y) is on the graph of /. But, (x, y) and (~x, -y) are symmetric with
respect to the origin. Conversely, assume the graph of / is symmetric with respect to the origin. Assume
fix) = y. Then, (x, y) is on the graph of/. Hence, by assumption, (—x, -y) is on the graph of/. Thus,
fi-x) = —y = -fix), and, therefore, fix) is odd.
Show that, if a graph is symmetric with respect to both the x-axis and the y-axis, then it is symmetric with respect
to the origin.
Assume (x, y) is on the graph. Since the graph is symmetric with respect to the jt-axis, (x, -y) is also on the
graph, and, therefore, since the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, (—x, —y) is also on the graph.
Thus, the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin.
Show that the converse of Problem 5.50 is false.
The graph of the odd function fix) =x is symmetric with respect to the origin. However, (1,1) is on the

with respect to the x-axis.

Show that any function F(x) that is defined for all x may be expressed as the sum of an even function and an odd
function: F(x) = E(x) + O(x).
Take E(x)= |[F(*) + F(-x)] and O(x) = [F(x) - F(-x)].
Prove that the representation of F(x) in Problem 5.55 is unique.
If F(x) = E(x) + O(x) and F(x) = E*(x) + O*(x), then, by subtraction,
0 = e(x) + o(x) (1)
where e(x) =E*(x) - E(x) is even and o(x) = O*(x) - O(x) is odd. Replace x by -x in (1)to obtain
0=e(x)-o(x) (2)
But (1) and (2) together imply e(x) = o(x) =0; that is, £*(*) = E(x) and O*(x) = O(x).

f(x) = mx + b for all x, where m^O.
Assume f(u)=f(v). Then, mu + b = mv + b, mu = mv, u = v. Thus, /is one-one.

Assume f(u)=f(v). Then, Vu =Vv. Square both sides; u = v. Thus,/is one-one.
f(x) = x2

f(x) = - forall nonzero x.
f(x) = x for all x.
/(—I) = 1=/(I). Hence, /is not one-one.
f(x) = [x] for all x.
/(O) = 0=/(|). Hence, /is not one-one.
f(x) = x3

Unless both u and v are zero, the factor in brackets is positive (being a sum of squares); hence the other factor

If f(x) —(x + 3)(x + k), and the remainder is 16 when f(x) is divided by x ~ 1, find k.
f(x) =(x~l)q(x) + 6. Hence, /(I) = 16. But, /(I) = (1 + 3)(1 + k) =4(1 + k). So, l + k = 4,
k = 3.

If the zeros of a function f(x) are 3 and -4, what are the zeros of the function g(x) =/(jt/3)?
/(jt/3) = 0 if and only if x/3 = 3 or */3=-4, that is, if and only if * = 9 or x=-12.

Case 3. Jt<0. Then /(*)= -x - (x - 1) = -2x + 1. So, the graph (Fig.5-25) consists of a horizontal line

Show geometrically that when the graph of a one-one function is reflected in the 45°line y = x, the result is the

It is evident from Fig. 5-26 that right triangles ORP and OR'P' are congruent. Hence,
Thus the locus of P' is the graph of x as a function of y; i.e., of x = f~i(y). Note that because y = f(x)
meets the horizontal-line test (/being one-one), x =f ~ ( y ) meets the vertical-line test.

Assume e>0. We wish to find 5 >0 so that, if x-4<8, then (2x-5) -3|< e. But,
(2x-5)-3 =2x-8 =2(x-4). Thus, wemust have |2(x-4)|<e, or, equivalently, |*-4|<e/2. So, it
suffices to choose 8 = c/2 (or any positive number smaller than e/2).
In an e-S proof of the fact that lim (2'+ 5x) = 17, if we are given some e, what is the largest value of 5 that can
be used?
5 must be chosen so that, if |*-3|<S, then (2+5x)-17| <e. But, (2+ 5*)-17 = 5*-15=
5(*-3). So, wemust have 5(x-3)<e, or, equivalently, |*-3|<e/5. Thus, the largest suitable value
of 5 would be el5.

Remember that a vertical asymptote is a vertical line x = c to which the graph gets closer and closer as x
approaches c from the right or from the left. Hence, we obtain vertical asymptotes by setting the denominator
3x +2 =0. Thus, the only vertical asymptote is the line x=-. Recall that a horizontal asymptote is a line
y = d to which the graph gets closer and closer as x—»+«> or x—»—«. In this case,

obtain horizontal asymptotes, we compute
divide numerator and denominator by A:. The first limit becomes

7.14 Determine the points of discontinuity (if any) of the following function f(x).
Let c be any number. Since there are irrational numbers arbitrarily close to c, f(x) = 0 for values of x
arbitrarily close to c. Hence, if lim f(x) exists, it must be 0. Therefore, if f(x) is to be continuous at c, we
must have /(c) = 0. Since there are rational numbers arbitrarilyclose to c, f(x) = x for some points that are
arbitrarily close to c. Hence, if lim f(x) exists, it must be lim;e = c. So, if /(*) is continuous at c,
/(c) = c = 0. The only point at which f(x) is continuous is x =0.
7.15 (a) Let f(x) be a continuous function such that f(x) = 0 for all rational x. Prove that f(x) = 0 for all x.
(b) Letf(x) and g(x) be continuous functions such that f(x) = g(x) for all rational x. Show that f(x) = g(x)
for all x.
(a) Consider any real number c. Since f(x) is continuous at c, lim f(x) =f(c). But, since there are
rational numbers arbitrarily close to c, f(x) = 0 for values of x arbitrarily close to c, and,therefore,
lim f(x) = 0. Hence, /(c) = 0. (b) Let h(x) =f(x) - g(x). Since f(x) and g(x) are continuous, so is h(x).
Since f(x) = g(x) for all rational*, h(x) = 0 for all rational*, and, therefore, by part (a), h(x) = 0 for all
x. Hence, f(x) = g(x) for all x.
7.16 Letf(x) be a continuous function such that f(x + y) =f(x) +f(y) for all* andy. Prove that f(x) = ex for
some constant c.
Let /(I) = c. (i) Let us show by induction that f(n) = en for all positive integers n. When n =1,
this is just the definition of c. Assume f(n) = cn for some n. Then f(n + 1) =f(n) + /(!) = en + c =
c(n + l). (ii) /(0)=/(0 + 0)=/(0)+/(0). So, /(0) = 0 = c-0. (Hi) Consider any negative integer -n,
where n >0. Then, 0 =/(0)=/(n + (-n)) =/(n)+/(-«). So, f(-n)=-f(n)=-cn =c(-n). (iv)
Any rational number can be written in the form m/n, where m and n are integers and n >0. Then,

Find the discontinuities (if any)of the function f(x) such that f(x) = 0 for x = 0 or x irrational, and
f(x) = — when x is a nonzero rational number —, n > 0, and — is in lowest terms (that is, the integers m

and n have no common integral divisor greater than 1).

> /M=
0 for values of * arbitrarily close to c, and, therefore, by continuity, /(c) = 0. By definition of /, c
cannot be a nonzero rational. So, c = 0. Now, f(x) is in fact continuous at x =Q, since, as rational
numbers m/n approach 0, their denominators approach +°°, and, therefore, /(m/n) = 1In approaches 0,which
is /(O). Case 2. c is irrational. Then /(c) = 0. But,as rational numbers m/n approach c, their de-
nominators n approach +<*>, and, therefore, the values /(m/n) = 1 In approach 0 = /(c). Thus, any irration-
al number is a point of continuity, and the points of discontinuity are the nonzero rational numbers.
Define: (a) f(x) is continuous on the left at x = a. (b) f(x) is continuous on the right at x = a.
(a) f(d) is defined, lim /(*) exists, and lim f(x)=f(a). (b) f(a) is defined, lim f(x) exists, and

Let/(jc) be a continuous function from the closed interval [a, b] into itself. Show that/(x) has a fixed point, that
is, a point x such that f(x) = x.
If /(a) = a or f(b) = b, then we have a fixed point. So, we may assume that a<f(a) and f(b)<b
(Fig. 7-7).Consider the continuous function h(x) =f(x) - x. Recall the Intermediate Value theorem: Any
continuous function h(x) on [a, b] assumes somewhere in [a, b] any value between h(a) and h(b). Now,
h(a) =f(a) —a > 0, and h(b)= f(b) - b < 0. Since 0 lies between /j(a) and h(b), there must be a point c in
[a, b] such that fc(c) = 0. Hence, /(c) - c = 0, or /(c) = c.
7.21 Assume that f(x) is continuous at x = c and that f(c) > 0. Prove that there is an open interval around c on
which f(x) is positive.
Let e=/(c). Since lim/(*) =/(c), there exists 8 > 0 such that, if x-c<8, then f(x)-f(c)<
e = /(c). So, -/(c)</(jc)-/(c)</(c). By the left-hand inequality, /(x)>0. This holds for all * in the
open interval (c- 8,c + S).

(*) is continuous, /(!)=-!, and /(2) = 6. Since /(l)<0</(2), the Intermediate Value theorem

7.23 Verify the Intermediate Value theorem in the case of the function f(x) =

8.16 Find the slope-intercept equation of the normal line to the graph of y = jc3

at the point where x = l.
The normal line is the line perpendicular to the tangent line. Since y' = 3x2
—2x, the slope of the tangent
lineal x = 1 is 3(1)2
- 2(1)= 1. Hence, the slope of the normal line is the negative reciprocal of 1,namely
— 1. Thus, the required slope-intercept equation has the form y = —x + b. On the curve, when x = ,
y = (I)3
- (I)2

and the required equation is y = —x + 1.

y' = x2
If we rewrite the equation 4x-9y = 0 as y = l,x, we see that the slope of the line is §

Where does the normal line to the curve y = x —x2
at the point (1,0) intersect the curve a second time?
I y' = l~2x. The tangent line at (1,0) has slope 1—2(1) = —!. Hence, the normal line has slope 1, and a
point-slope equation for it is y =x-l. Solving y =x - x2
and y =x - 1 simultaneously, x - x2

x —I, x2
= 1, x = ±1. Hence, the other point of intersection occurs when x = —1. Then y = x —1 =
-1 - 1 = -2. So, theother point is(-1,-2).
Find the point(s) on the graph of y = x2
at which the tangent line is parallel to the line y —6x —1.
I Since the slope of y = 6x —1 is 6, the slope of the tangent line must be 6. Thus, the derivative 2x = 6,
x = 3. Hence, the desired point is (3,9).
Find the point(s) on the graph of y = x3
at which the tangent line is perpendicular to the line 3x + 9y = 4.
I The equation of the line can be rewritten as _y = - j x + 5 , and so its slope is - j. Hence, the slope of the
required tangent line must be the negative reciprocal of -1, namely, 3. So, the derivative 3x2

x = ±1. Thus, the solutions are (1,1) and (—1, —1).
Find the slope-intercept equation of the normal line to the curve y =x3
at the point at which x = |.
I The slope of the tangent line is the derivative 3x2
, which, at x = |, is 5. Hence, the slope of the normal
line is the negative reciprocal of 5, namely, -3. So, the required equation has the form y = —3x + b. On

So, the required equation is y = —3x + ff.
At what points does the normal line to the curve y =x2

I The derivative 2x —3 has, at x = 3, the value 3. So, the slope of the normal line is - 3, and its
equation is y = —3* + b. Since (3, 5) lies on the line, 5 = — 1+ b, or b = 6. Thus, the equation of the

The slope of the tangent line is the derivative 2x. Since (x, x2

slope is (x2 + 12) l(x - 2). Hence, (x2 + 12) /(x - 2) = 2x, X2 + 12 = 2x2 -4x, x2 - 4* - 12 = 0, (x - 6)(x +

10.2 Give the equations relating degree measure and radian measure of angles.
I 2-rr radians is the same as 360 degrees. Hence, 1 radian = 180/Tr degrees, and 1 degree = 77/180
radians. So, if an angle has a measure of D degrees and/? radians, then D = (180/7r).R and R = (77/180)D.
10.3 Give the radian measure of angles of 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 135°, 180°, 270°, and 360°.
I We use the formula R = (?r/180)D. Hence 30° = 77/6radians, 45°= 77/4radians, 60° = 77/3 radians,
90° = 77/2 radians, 120° = 27T/3 radians, 135° = 377/4 radians, 180° = 77 radians, 270° = 377/2 radians,
360° = 277 radians.
10.4 Give the degree measure of angles of 377/5 radians and 577/6 radians.
I We use the formula D = (180ITT)R. Thus, 377/5 radians = 108° and 577/6 radians = 150°.
10.5 In a circle of radius 10inches, what arc length along the circumference is intercepted by a central angle of77/5
radians?
I The arc length s, the radius r, and the central angle 6 (measured in radians) are related by the equation
s = r6. In this case, r = 10inches and 0 = 77/5. Hence, 5 = 277 inches.
10.6 If a bug moves a distance of 377 centimeters along a circular arc and if this arc subtends a central angle of 45°,what
is the radius of the circle?
I s = rO. In this case, s = 3ir centimeters and 0 = 77/4 (the radian measure equivalent of 45°). Thus,
377 = r •77/4. Hence, r = 12 centimeters.
10.7 Draw a picture of the rotation determining an angle of -77/3 radians.
I See Fig. 10-2. 77/3radians = 60°, and the minus sign indicates that a 60° rotation is to be taken in the
clockwise direction. (Positive angles correspond to counterclockwise rotations.)

10.12 Sketch the graph of y = cos 3*.
Because cos 3(* + 2tr/3) = cos (3>x + 2ir) = cos 3x, the function is of period p = 2ir/3. Hence, the
length of each wave is 277/3. The number/of wavesover an interval of length 2ir is 3. (In general, thisnumber

10.23 Find an equation of the normal line to the curve y = 1+ cos x at the point
The slope of the tangent line is the derivative y'. But, y' = -sin x = -sin (ir/3) = -V3/2. Hence, the
slope of the normal line is the negative reciprocal 2A/3. So a point-slope equation of the normal line is
y -  = (2/V3)(x - IT/3) = (2V3/3)jc - 27rV3/9.
10.24 Derive the formula
Remember that tan x = sin AT/COS x and sec x = 1/cos x. By the quotient rule,
10.25 Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve y = tan2
x at the point (7r/3,3).
Note that tan (ir/3) = sin(7j-/3)/cos (w/3) = (V3/2)/i = V3, and sec(ir/3) = l/cos(ir/3) = 1/| =2. By
the chain rule, / = 2(tanx)- -7- (tan*) = 2(tan*)(sec2
*). Thus, when x = ir/3, y' =2V5-4 = 8V5, so
the slope of the tangent line is8V3. Hence, a point-slope equation of the tangent line is y —3 = 8V3(x - ir/3).
10.26 Derive the formula

10.29 Find Dx
By the chain rule, y' = 3[2 sec x • -r- (sec x)] = 3(2 sec x •sec x •tan x) = 6 sec2
x tan x. So the slope of the
tangent line is y' = 6(f)(V3/3) = 8V3/3. Hence, the slope of the normal line is the negative reciprocal
-V3/8. Thus, a point-slope equation of the normal line is y - 4 = -(V3/8)(x - 77/6).

Hence,
10.32 Show that the curve y = xsin* is tangent to the line y = x whenever x = (4n + l)(ir/2), where n is any
integer.
When x =(4n +l)(ir/2)= TT/2 +2irn, sin *= sin ir/2 = 1, cos x =cos ir/2 =0, and xsinx = x.
Thus, at such points, the curve y = *sin* intersects y = x. For y = *sinjc, y' = x •Dx(sm x) + sin x-
Df(x) = x cosA; + sin x. Thus, at the given points, y' = x •0 + 1= 1. Hence, the slope of the tangent line to
the curve y = jcsinx at those points is 1. But the slope of the line y = x is also 1, and, therefore, y = *
is the taneent line.
10.33 At what values of x does the graph of y = sec x have a horizontal tangent?
I A line is horizontal when and only when its slope is 0. The slope of the tangent line is y' = D^sec x) =
sec ;t tan*. Hence, we must solve sec*tan* = 0. Since sec x = 1 /cos x, sec* is never 0. Hence,
tan* = 0. But, since tan x =sin*/cos-*, tan* = 0 is equivalent to sin* = 0. The latter occurs when and
only when x = nir for some integer n.
10.34 For what values of x are the tangent lines to the graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x perpendicular?
I The tangent line to the graph of y = sinx has slope D^(sin x) = cos x, and the tangent line to the
graph of >> = cosx has slope D^(cos x) = -sin x. Hence, the condition for perpendicularity is that
cos x •(-sin x) = -1, which is equivalent to cos x sin x = 1. Since 2 cos x sin x —sin 2x, this is equivalent to
sin 2x =2, which is impossible, because |sin jr| :£ 1 for all x. Hence, there are no values of x which satisfy
the property.
10.35 Find the angle at which the curve y = 3 sin 3x crosses the x-axis.
I The curve crosses the x-axis when y =| sin 3x=0, which is equivalent to sin 3x = 0, and thence
to 3x = ntr, where n is an arbitrary integer. Thus, x = mr/3. The slope of the tangent line is
y' = 3 cos 3x •3 = cos 3x = cos (mr) = ±1. The lines with slope ±1 make an angle of ±45° with the x-axis.

f If / is continuous over a closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b), and if
/(a) = f(b) = 0, then there is at least one number c in (a, b) such that f'(c) =0.

given interval, and,if they do, verify the conclusion of the theorem.
11.2 f(x) = x2

I f(x) is clearly differentiable everywhere, and /(-I) =/(3) = 0. Hence, Rolle's theorem applies. /'(*) =

11.3 /(*) = x" - x on [0,1].
I f(x) is differentiable, with /'(*) = 3*2

Setting /'(*) = 0, 3x2

f(x) is differentiable within (0,8), but not at 0. However, it is continuous at x = 0 and, therefore,
throughout [0,8]. Also, /(0)=/(8) = 0. Hence, Rolle's theorem applies. /'(*) = 2/3v^-2/3(vT)2
.
Setting f'(x) =0, we obtain x = 1, which is between 0 and 8.
Notice that x3

-x-6 throughout the interval [-2, 3].
Also, note that /(-2) =/(3) = 0. Hence, Rolle's theorem applies. f'(x) =2x-l. Setting f'(x) =0, we
obtain x = 5 which lies between —2 and 3.
11.18 f(x) =3x + l.
f'(x) = 3. Hence, f(x) is increasing everywhere.
In Problems 11.18 to 11.26, determine where the function/is increasing and where it is decreasing.
11.17 Prove that, if f'(x)>0 for all x in the open interval (a, b), then f(x) is an increasing function on (a, b).
Assume a<u<v<b. Then the mean value theorem applies tof(x) on the closed interval (u, v). So, for
some c between u and v, f'(c) =[f(v) - /(«)]/(v - u). Hence, f(v) - /(«) =f'(c)(v - u). Since u<v,
v-u>0. By hypothesis, /'(c)>0. Hence, f(v) -/(«)>0, and /(u) >/(«). Thus,/(A:) is increasing

I f'(x) = —2 <0. Hence, f(x) is always decreasing.
11.20 f(x) =x2

I f'(x) =2x-4. Since 2x-4>Q**x>2, f(x) is increasing when x>2. Similarly, since 2x-4<
0<-»*< 2, f(x) is decreasing when x<2.
11.21 f(x) = 1 - 4x- x2

1 f'(x)=-4-2x. Since -4- 2x>Q++x< -2, f(x) is increasing when x<-2. Similarly, f(x) is de-
creasing when x > —2.
11.22 /(*) = Vl - x2
.
f(x) is denned only for -1<*<1. Now, f'(x) = -xNl - x2. So, f(x) >Q**x <0. Thus, /(*) is
increasing when -1< x <0. Similarly, f(x) is decreasing when 0 < x < 1.
11.23
I f(x) is defined only when -3<x<3. f'(x)= (-x)N 9 - x2
. So, /'(*)> 0«-»*<0. Thus, f(x) is
increasing when —3<;t<0 and decreasing when 0<Ac<3.
11.24 f(x) =x3

I f'(x) =3x2

/'(AC)<O for Kx<5, and /'(AC)>O when x<l. Thus, /(*) is increasing when x< or x>5,
and it is decreasing when 1< x <5.
11.25 f(x) = x + l/x.
I f(x) is denned for x^O. f'(x) = -(lx2
). Hence, /'(*)<O-H>!< l/x which is equivalent to x2
<l.
Hence,f(x) is decreasing when — 1<AC<0 or 0<x<l, and it is increasing when AC>! or AC<—1.
11.26 f(x) =x3

I f'(x) = 3x2
—l2 = 3(x —2)(x + 2). The key points are x = 2 and x = —2. For Ac>2, f'(x)>0; for
-2<Ac<2, f'(x)<0; for jc<-2, f'(x)>Q. Hence, f(x) is increasing when x>2 or x<-2, and it
is decreasing for -2 < x <2.
11.27 Letf(x) be a differentiable function such that f'(x)^0 for all AC in the open interval (a, b). Prove that there is
at most one zero of f(x) in (a, b).
I Assume that there exist two zeros u and v off(x) in (a, b) with u<v. Then Rolle's theorem applies to /(AC)
in the closed interval [u, v]. Hence, there exists a number c in (u, v) such that f'(c) = 0. Since a<c<b,
this contradicts the assumption that f'(x)^0 for all x in (a, b).
11.28 Consider the polynomial f(x) =5x3

zero of/(AC).
I /(0)=-4<0, and /(1) = 2>0. Hence, by the intermediate value theorem, f(x) =0 for some x between
0 and 1. /'(*) = 15AC2
- 4AC -I- 3. By the quadratic formula, we see that/'(*) has no real roots and is, therefore,
always positive. Hence, f(x) is an increasing function and, thus, can take on the value 0 at most once.
11.29 Let/(AC) and g(x) be differentiable functions such that /(a)sg(a) and f'(x)> g'(x) for all x. Show that
f(x) > g(x) for all x > a.
1 The function h(x) = f(x) - g(x) is differentiable, /*(«)>0, and h'(x)>0 for all x. By the latter
condition, h(x) is increasing, and,therefore, since /i(«)>0, h(x)>0 for all AC > a. Thus, /M>g(Ac)

+x and note that /'(*) = g(x). Since /(O) = /(I) = 0, Rolle's theorem applies to /(*) on
the interval [0,1]. Hence, there must exist c between 0 and 1 such that f'(c) =0. Then g(c) = 0.
11.32 Show that x +2x - 5 = 0 has exactly one real root.
Let f(x) =x3
+2x - 5. Since /(0)=-5<0 and /(2)=7>0, the intermediate value theorem tellsus
that there is a root of f(x) = 0 between 0 and 2. Since f'(x) = 3x2
+ 2 > 0 for all x, f(x) is an increasing
function and, therefore, can assume the value 0 at most once. Hence, f(x) assumes the value 0 exactly once.
11.33 Suppose that f(x) is differentiable everywhere, that /(2) =-3, and that !</'(*)< 2 if 2<x<5. Show
that 0</(5)<3.

11.34 Use the mean value theorem to prove that tan x > x for 0 < x < Tr/2.
The mean value theorem applies to tan* on the interval [0, x]. Hence, there exists c between 0 and x
such that sec2
c = (tan* - tanO)/(*-0) = tan*/*. [Recall that Dx(tan *) = sec2
*.] Since 0<c<7r/2,
0 < cosc < 1, secc > 1, sec2
c > 1. Thus, tan xlx > 1, and, therefore, tan x> x.
11.35 If f'(x) = 0 throughout an interval [a, b], prove that /(*) is constant on that interval.
Let «<*<fc. The mean value theorem applies to/(*) on the interval [«,*]. Hence, there exists a c

11.36 If f'(x) = g'(x) for all x in an interval [a, b], show that there is a constant K such that f(x) = g(x) + K for
all x in [a, b].
Let h(x)=f(x)-g(x). Then h'(x) = 0 for all x in [a, £>]. By Problem 11.35, there is a constant K such
that h(x) = K for all x in [a, b]. Hence, /(x) = g(x) + K for all x in [a, 6].
11.37 Prove that x3
+px + q =0 has exactly one real root if p>0.
Let f(x) = x3 + px + q. Then /'(*) = 3*2 + p > 0. Hence, f(x) is an increasing function. So f(x) as-
sumes the value 0 at most once. Now, lim f(x) = +°° and lim f(x) = —». Hence, there are numbers «

Let f(x) =3 tan x +x3

Thus, f(x) assumes the value 2 at most once. But,/(0) = 0 and /(Tr/4) = 3 + (ir/4)3

intermediate value theorem, f(c) = 2 for some c between 0 and rr/4. Hence, f(x) = 2 for exactly one x in

This is essentially an application of the mean value theorem to f(x) = x~ + x + 3 on the interval [1, 21.
The slope of the line connecting (1,5) and (2,9) is For that line to be parallel

HIGHER-ORDER DERIVATIVES AND IMPLICIT DIFFERENTIATION 77
Use implicit differentiation. (*) 2x +2(xy' +y) + 6yy' =0. When y = l, the original equation yields
x2

+2x + I =0, (x+l)2
= 0, *+ l=0, *= -!. Substitute -1 for x and 1 for y in(*),
which results in —2 + 2(—y' + l) + 6y'=0; so, y'=0 when y = l. To find y", first simplify (*) to
x + xy' + y + 3yy' = 0, and then differentiate implicitly to get 1+ (xy" +y') + y' + 3(yy" + y'y') = 0. In this
equation, substitute —1 for ;c, 1 for y, and 0 for y', which results in 1- y" +3y" = 0, y" = -1.
12.16 Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of y = x + cos xy at (0,1).
Differentiate implicitly to get y' = 1- [sin xy •(xy' +y)]. Replace x by 0 and y by 1. y' = 1 -
[sin (0) •1]= 1- 0 = 1. Thus, the tangent line has slope 1.
12.17 If cosy = x, find/.
Differentiate implicitly: (-sin y)y' = 1. Hence, y' = — l / ( s i n y ) =
12.18 Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve 1+ 16* y = tan (x - 2y) at the point (Tr/4, 0).
Differentiating implicitly, I6(x2
y' + 2xy) = [sec2
(.v -2y)](l -2y'). Substituting w/4 for x and 0 for y,
16(ir2
/16)(y') = [sec2
(ir/4)](l-2/). Since cos(77/4) = V3/2, sec2
(77/4) = 2. Thus, Try' =2(1 - 2y').
Hence, y' =21(17* + 4), which is the slope of the tangent line. A point-slope equation of the tangent line is
y = [2/(7r2

I Solving the equations for C, and C2 simultaneously,we find (x —a)2

Hence, y = ±V8- a2
. OnC1; 2(xl - a) +2yly'l = 0, so at the intersection points, yly'l = a. (Here, the
subscript indicates values on C,.) On C2, 2(x2 + a) + 1y^y = 0, so at the intersection points, y2y'2 =—a.
Hence, multiplying these equations at the intersectionpoints, yyy-iy'i =

- At these points, y—y-> =

hence, y2

I To find the intersection points, multiplythe equation of the hyperbola by 4 and subtract the result from the

equation of the ellipse: 8* + I8yy' = 0, y' ——(4x/9y), which is the slope of the tangent line. Differentiate
both sides of the equation of the hyperbola: 2x —8yy' = 0, y' = x/4y, which is the slope of the tangent line.
Hence, the product of the slopes of the tangent lines is -(4x/9y)- (x/4y) ——(x2

y2

I To find the intersection points, set 4x +4 =4-4x. Then x =0, y2
=4, y = ±2. For the first
parabola, 2yy'=4, y' = 2/y. For the second parabola, 2yy' = -4, y'=—2/y. Hence, the product of
the slopes of the tangent lines is (2/y)(-2/y) = -4/y2

For the second circle, 2x + 2yy' + 2 + y' = 0, and, therefore, at (2,1), 4 + 2/ + 2 + y' = 0, >•' = -2.
Since the tangent lines to the two circles at the point (2,1) have the same slope, they are identical, and, therefore,
the circles are tangent at that point.

and /"(c)>0, then f(x) has a relative minimum at c. [See Fig. 13-l(b).] If f'(c) =Q and /"(c) = 0,
we cannot draw any conclusions at all.

13.3 Find the critical numbers of f(x) = 5 —2x + x2
, and determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative
minima, or inflection points.
I Recall that a critical number is a number c such that /(c) is defined and either /'(c) = 0 or /'(c) does not
exist. Now, f'(x) = -2 + 2x. So, we set -2 + 2x =Q. Hence, the only critical number is x = . But
/"(AT) = 2. In particular, /"(I) = 2>0. Hence, by the second-derivative test, f(x) has a relative minimum at

Hence, /"(0) = —2<0, and, therefore, by the second-derivative test, f(x) has a relative maximum at

f"(x) - 6.v - 10. So, /"(4) = 14 > 0, and,by the second-derivative test, there is a relative minimum at x =
4. Similarly, /"(— f ) = -14, and,therefore, there is a relative maximum at x = - §.
13.6 Find the critical numbers of /(*) = *(* - I)3
, and determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative
minima, or inflection points.
f ' ( x ) =x-3(x-l)2
+(x-lY = (x- l)2
(3x +x-l) = (x- 1) (4x - 1). So, the critical numbers are x = I
and x=. Now, f"(x) = (x - I)2 • 4 + 2(x - l)(4x - 1) = 2(x - l)[2(jt - 1) + 4* - 1] = 2(jt - 1)(6* - 3)
= 6(jf - l)(2;c - 1). Thus, /"(J) =
6(-i)(-j) = ! >0, and, therefore, bythesecond-derivative test, there is a
relative minimum at * = j . On the other hand /"(I) = 6 - 0 - 1 =0, and, therefore, the second-derivative
test is inapplicable. Let us use thefirst-derivativetest. f'(x) - (x - 1)2
(4* - 1). For jr^l, (A:-I)2
is
positive. Since 4x —1 has the value 3 when x = l, 4x — 1 > 0 just to the left and to the right of 1.
Hence,/'(*) is positive both on the left and on the right of x = 1, and this means that we have the case { + , +}.
By the first-derivative test, there is an inflection point at x = 1.
13.7 Find the critical numbers of f(x) = sinx —x, and determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative
minima, or inflection points.
I f ' ( x ) = cos x —1. The critical numbers are the solutions of cos* = 1, and these are the numbers x =
2irn for any integer n. Now, f"(x) = —sinx. So, f"(2irn) = -sin (Iirn) = -0 = 0, and, therefore, the
second-derivative test is inapplicable. Let us use the first-derivative test. Immediately to the left and right
of x =2irn, cosjc<l, and,therefore, /'(*) = cos x - 1< 0. Hence, the case {-,—} holds, and there is
an inflection point at x —7.-nn.
13.8 Find the critical numbers of f(x) = (x - I)2

I /'(*)= !(x-l)~"3

critical number, since/'(l) is not defined. Try the first-derivative test [which is also applicable when/'(c) is not
defined]. To the left of x = , (x - 1) is negative, and, therefore,/'(.*) is negative. To the right of x = l,
(jt-1) is positive, and,therefore, f(x) is positive. Thus, the case {-,+} holds, and there is a relative
minimum at x = 1.
13.9 Describe a procedure for finding the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of a continuous function
f(x) on a closed interval [a, b.
I Find all the critical numbers of f(x) in [a, b]. List all these critical numbers, c,, c2 ,.. ., and add the
endpoints a and b to the list. Calculate /(AC) for each x in the list. The largest value thus obtained is the
maximum value of f(x) on [a, b], and the minimal value thus obtained is the minimal value of f(x) on [a, b].

13.4 Find the critical numbers of /(*) = x l(x - 1) and determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative

Hence, the critical numbers are x = 0 and x — 2. [x = 1 is not a critical number because /(I) is not

MAXIMA AND MINIMA
13.10 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of the function f(x) = 4x2
- 7x +3 on the interval [-2,3].
/'(*) = 8*- 7. Solving Sx -1 =0, wefindthe critical number x=l, which lies in the interval. So
we list 1 and the endpoints -2 and 3 in a table, and calculate the corresponding values/(x). The absolute
maximum 33 is assumed at x = —2. The absolute minimum - A is assumed at x = 1.
13.11 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f(x) = 4x3
- Sx2

I /'(*) = 12x2
- I6x =4x(3x -4). So,thecritical numbers are x =0 and x=%. But * = f does not
lie in the interval. Hence, we list only 0 and the endpoints -1 and 1, and calculate the corresponding values of
f(x). So, the absolute maximum 1 is achieved at x = 0, and the absolute minimum -11 is achieved at
*=-!.
13.13 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f(x) = x3
/(x + 2) on the interval f-1,1].
Thus, the critical numbers are x = 0 and x = -3. However, x = -3 is not in the given interval. So, we
list 0 and the endpoints -1 and 1. The absolute maximum5is assumed at x = l, and the absolute minimum
— 1 is assumed at x = —1 .
13.14 Forwhat value of k will f(x) = x - kx  have a relative maximum at x = -2?
f'(x) = 1 + kx~2 = 1 + klx2. We want-2 to be a critical number, that is, l + fc/4 = 0. Hence, k =-4.
Thus, f'(x) = 1-4/x2
, and f"(x) =8/x Since /"(-2) = -l, there is a relative maximum at *=-2.
13.15 Find the absolute extrema of /(*) = sin x + x on[0,2-7r].
/'(*) = cos x + 1- For a critical number, cos*+1=0, or cos* = -l. The only solution of this equa-
tion in [0,2ir] is x = TT. We list TT and the two endpoints 0 and 2w, and compute the values of/(jc). Hence, the
absolute maximum 2IT is achieved at x = 2w, and the absolute minimum 0 at x = 0.

(—l±V^7)/4, which are not real. Thus, the only critical number is x = 2. So, listing 2 and the endpointsO

77, and calculate the corresponding values of f(x). Then, the absolute maximum V2 is attained at x =377/4,
and the absolute minimum -1 is attained at x =0.

the absolute maximum 77/2 - 1 is achieved at .v = 77/2 and the absolute minimum 0 is achieved at x =

13.22 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f(x) = -4*+ 5 on [-2,3].
Since f(x) is a decreasing linear function, the absolute maximum is attained at the left endpoint and the

x = V2/2. At that point, the first derivative test involves the case { + , -}, and, therefore, there is a relative
maximum at x = V2~/2, where y = 2V3/9. Since this is the only critical number in the given interval, the
relative maximum is actually an absolute maximum.

/'(*) = 2cos*(-sinx) + cosjc. Setting /'(*) = °> we have cos jc(l -2sinx) = 0, cos* = 0 or 1-

sinx=i) only when A: = 77/6 or x = 5ir/6. So, we must tabulate the values of f(x) at these critical
numbers and at the endpoints. We see that the absolute maximumis f, attained at x = 77/6 and x = 577/6.
The absolute minimum is 1, attained at x=0, x= ir!2, and x = 77.

x - 1,
we have 2cos2
x + cosx —1= 0, (2cosx —1) (cos* + 1) = 0, cosx = — 1 or cos x —. In the given
interval, the solution of cosx= —1 is x = 77, and the solutions of cos;t=j are x = 7r/3 and x =
STT/S. We tabulate the values of f(x) for these critical numbers and the endpoints. So, the absolute maximum is
3V3/2, attained at x - 77/3, and the absolute minimumis -3V3/2, attained at x =577/3.

and x = 577/3. We tabulate the values of f(x) for these numbers and the endpoints. Note that 77/6<V3/2
(since 7r<3V3). Hence, 77/6- V3/2<0< TT<5-77/6 + V3/2. So, the absolute maximum is 5ir/6 +

f'(x) = 3cos x +4 sin x. Setting f'(x) =0, we have 3cos x = -4 sin x, tan *=-0.75. There are two
critical numbers: x0, between ir/2 and IT, and xl, between 37T/2 and 2ir. We calculate the values of f(x) for
these numbers by using the 3-4-5right triangle and noting that, sinx0 = f and cosx0 = - 5, and that
8^*, = -! and COSA:^^. So, the absolute maximum is 5, attained at x =x0, and the absolute

The top of a 25-foot ladder, leaning against a vertical wall is slippingdownthe wall at the rate of 1foot per second.
How fast is the bottom of the ladder slipping along the ground when the bottom of the ladder is 7 feet away from
the base of the wall?

I Let y be the distance of the top of the ladder from the ground, and let x be the distance of the bottom of the

D,y = -1 foot per second. (Since the ladder is sliding down the wall, y is decreasing, and, therefore, its
derivative is negative.) When x = 7, substitution in x2

yields y2

I Let V be the volume of wheat at time t, and let h be the depth of the wheat in the tank. Then V= ir(W)2
h.
So, D,V = 1007T •D,h. But we are given that DtV= 314 cubic feet per minute. Hence, 314 = lOO-tr •D,h,
D,h = 314/(1007r). If we approximate TT by 3.14, then D,h = l. Thus, the depth of the wheat is increasing at

A 5-foot girl is walking toward a 20-foot lamppost at the rate of 6 feet per second. How fast is the tip of her

I Let x be the distance of the girl from the base of the post, and let y be the distance of the tip of her shadow
from the base of the post (Fig. 14-2). AABC is similar to ADEC. Hence, ABIDE =y / ( y - x), f =

Let w be the level of the water above the base, and let r be the radiusof the circle that forms the surface of the

A girl is flying a kite, which is at a height of 120feet. The wind is carrying the kite horizontallyaway from the girl

I Let x be the distance of the foot of the ladder from the base of the house, and let y be the distance of the top

. So, 2x •Dtx + 2y •Dty = 0, x •D,x + y • D,y = 0.
We are told that x = 12 and D,x =2. When * = 12, y2
= 256, y = 16. Substituting in x-D,x +
y-D,y =Q, 12- 2 + 16- D,y = 0, Dty = -. So the ladder is sliding down the wall at the rate of 1.5 ft/s.

I Let the point O be the origin of a coordinate system, with A moving on the Jt-axis and B moving on they-axis

14.28 Under the same hypotheses as in Problem 14.27, when are the ships nearest each other?
I When the ships are nearest each other, their distance u assumes a relative minimum, and, therefore,
D,u =0. Substituting in u-D,u = -20x + 15y, 0 = -20* + 15y. But jc = 15- 20t and y = -60 + 15f.

A trough 20 feet long has a cross section in the shape of an equilateral trapezoid, with a base of 3 feet and whose
sides make a 45°angle with the vertical. Water is flowing into it at the rate of 14cubic feet per hour. How fast is
the water level rising when the water is 2 feet deep?
Fig. 14-21
I Let h be the depth of the water at time t. The cross-sectional area is 3h + h2
(see Fig. 14-21),and,
therefore, the volume V = 20(3h + h1
). So D,V= 20(3 •D,h + 2h •D,h) = 20 •D,h •(3 + 2h). We are told
that D,K=14, so 14 = 20- D,h •(3 + 2h). When h=2, U =20-D,h-l, D,h = 0.1ft/h.
4.53 A lamppost 10feet tall stands on a walkwaythat is perpendicular to a wall. The distance from the post to the wall
is 15 feet. A 6-foot man moves on the walkwaytoward the wall at the rate of 5 feet per second. When he is 5
feet from the wall, how fast is the shadow of his head moving up the wall?
I See Fig. 14-22. Let x be the distance from the man to the wall. Let u be the distance between the base of the
wall and the intersection with the ground of the line from the lamp to the man's head. Let z be the height of the
shadow of the man's head on the wall. By similar triangles, 6/(x + u) —10/(15 + u) = zlu. From the first
equation, we obtain w=f(9-;t). Hence, x + u = f(15 -x). Since zlu =6/(x + u), z = 6u/(* + w) =
10(9-x)/(15-je) = 10[l-6/(15-jc)]. Thus, D,z = [10- 6/(15 -x)2

Hence, D,z = 300/(15 — x)2

of 3 feet per second.

When x = 2, Dtx = —3555 cm/min. So the thickness is decreasing at the rate of 5^5 centimeter per minute

Curve Sketching (Graphs)
When sketching a graph, show all relative extrema, inflection points, and asymptotes; indicate concavity;and
suggest the behavior at infinity.
In Problems 15.1 to 15.5, determine the intervals where the graphs of the following functions are concave
upward and where they are concave downward. Find all inflection points.
15.1 f(x) = x2
- x + 12.
I f'(x) =2x —l, f"(x) = 2. Since the second derivative is always positive, the graph is always concave
upward and there are no inflection points.
15.2 /(*) = A:3
+ I5x2
+ 6x + 1.
I f'(x) =3x2
+3Qx +6, f"(x) =6x +30 =6(x +5). Thus, f"(x)>0 when jc>-5; hence, the graphis
concave upward for ;t>-5. Since f"(x)<0 for x<-5, the graph is concave downward for x<-5.
Hence, there is an inflection point, where the concavity changes, at (5,531).
15.3 /(AT) = x4
+ I8x3
+ UOx2
+x + l.
I f'(x) =4xj
+ 54x2
+240x + l, f"(x) = 2x2
+ W8x +240= 12(x2
+9x +20) = U(x +4)(x + 5). Thus,
the important points are x = -4 and x = -5. For x > -4, x +4 and x +5 are positive, and, there-
fore, so is /"(•*). For -5<A:<-4, x + 4 is negative and x + 5 is positive; henee,f"(x) is negative. For
x<-5, both x+4 and x + 5 are negative, and, therefore,/"(A:) is positive. Therefore, the graph is
concave upward for x > -4 and for A: < -5. The graph is concave downward for -5 < x < -4. Thus,
the inflection points are (-4,1021) and (-5,1371).
15.4 f(x) = x/(2x-l).
I /(*) = [(*-i)+|]/[2(*-i)]=i{l + [l/(2*-l)]}. Hence, /'(*) = i[-l/(2* - I)2
] -2 = -l/(2x - I)2
.
Then /"(*) = [l/(2x - I)3
] -2 = 2/(2x - I)3
. For x>$, 2*- 1 >0, f"(x)>0, andthegraph is concave
upward. For x<, 2x —1<0, /"(AC)<O, and the graph is concave downward. There is no inflection
point, since f(x) is not defined when x = |.
15.5 f(x) = 5x4
- x".
I f'(x) =2Qx*-5x and /"(*) =6Qx2
-20x* = 20x3 - x). So, for 0<*<3 and for *<0, 3-
;c>0, /"(A-)>O, and the graph is concave upward. For jc>3, 3-Jc<0, /"(AT)<O, and the graph is
concave downward. There is an inflection point at (3,162). There is no inflection point at x = 0; the graph
is concave upward for x < 3.
For Problems 15.6 to 15.10, find the critical numbersand determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative
minima, inflection points, or none of these.
15.6 f(x) = 8- 3x +x2
.
I f'(x) = -3 +2x, f"(x) =2. Setting -3 + 2A: = 0, we find that x =  is a critical number. Since
/"(AC) = 2>0, the second-derivative test tells us that there is a relative minimum at x= .

I /'W = 4Ar3
-36A: = 4A:(A;2
-9) = 4A:(A:-3)(A: + 3). f(x) = 12;t2
-36 = 12(A:2

are 0, 3, -3. /"(O) =-36<0; hence, x = 0 yields a relative maximum. /"(3) = 72>0; hence, x =3
yields a relativeminimum. /"(-3) = 72>0; hence x = -3 yields a relative minimum. There areinflection
points at x = ±V5, y = -36.

tive test. To the right of 0, f'(x)>0, and to the left of 0, /'(*)<0. Thus, we have the case {-,+}, and,
therefore, x =0 yields a relative minimum. Using the quotient rule, f"(x) = 2(1 -3jt2

. So,
there are inflection points at x = ± 1 /V3, y = 1.

At x=Q, f'(x)>0 to the right of 0, and /'(*)< 0 to the left of 0. Hence, we have the case {-,+} of
the first derivative test; thus x =0 yields a relative minimum at (0, -1). For both x = l and x = —I,
f'(x) has the same sign to the right and to the left of the critical number; therefore, there are inflection points at
(1,0) and (-1,0). When x-»±=°, /(*)-»+».
It is obvious from what we have of the graph in Fig. 15-1 so far that there must be inflection points between
x=— 1 and x = 0, and between x = Q and jc = l. To find them, we compute the second derivative:
/"(*) = 6(x - l)2
(x +I)2

(x + 1)+ 12*(x - l)(x + I)2
= 6(x —l)(x + l)[(x —l)(x + 1) + 2x(x - 1) + 2x(x + 1)]
Hence, the inflection points occur when

hence, there is a relative maximum at x=-rr/2, y = l, and similarly at x=-ir/2, y = l. Inflection
points occur where f"(x) = 2cos 2x = 0, 2x = ± ir/2, x = ± ir/4, y = . The graph is shown in Fig. 15-21.

15.33 f(x) = sinx + COSA.
I f(x) has a period of ITT. Hence, we need only consider the interval [0, 2-rr. f'(x) = cos x —sin x. and
f"(x) = —(sin x + cos x). The critical numbers occur where cos x = sin* or tanx = l, x = 77/4 or A'=
577/4. f"(ir/4) = -(V2/2 + V2/2) = -V2<0. So, there is a relative maximum at x = 7r/4, y = V2.
/"(57r/4)= -(-V2/2- V2/2) = V2>0. Thus, there is a relative minimum at A= 577/4, y = -V2. The
inflection points occur where f"(x) = -(sin x + cos A:) = 0, sinx =-cos*, tanx = —1, A-= 377/4 or x =
77T/4. y = 0. See Fig.15-22.

x •sin x. Since/(x) has a period of 277, we need only look at, say, (- 77,77). The critical numbers are
the solutions of 3cos3
A = 0, COSA- = O, x = --rr/2 or A= 77/2. /"(—77/2) = 0, so we must use the
first-derivative test. f'(x) isnegative to the left of - 77/2 and positiveto the right of - 77/2. Hence, we havethe
case {-, +}, and there is a relative minimum at x = -Tr/2, y = -2. Similarly, there is a relative maximum
at A = 77/2, y = 2. [Notice that /(A) is an odd function; that is, f(-x) =—f(x).} To find inflection points,
set f"(x) = —9 cos2
x •sin x = 0. Aside from the critical numbers ±77/2, this yields the solutions -77. 0. 77
of sin A= 0. Thus, there are inflection points at (- 77,0), (0. 0), (77, 0). See Fig. 15-23.

x - cos x - 2. Since f(x) has aperiod of27r, weneed
only consider, say, [-ir, ir]. Moreover, since f(-x) =f(x), we only have to consider [0, ir], and then reflect
in the _y-axis. The critical numbers are the solutions in [0, TT] of sin x = 0 or 2 cos x - 1= 0. The equation
sin x = 0 has the solutions 0, TT. The equation 2 cos x —1=0 is equivalent to cos x = , having the
solution x = ir/3. /"(0) = 1>0, so there is a relative minimum at x = 0, y = 0. /"(7r) = 3>0, so there
is a relative minimum at x = TT, y = -2. f(ir/3) = - § < 0, so there is a relative maximum at x = ir/3,
y = 1. There are inflection points between 0 and 7r/3 and between ir/3 and TT; they can be approximated by
using the quadratic formula to solve f"(x) =4cos2
x - cosx - 2 =0 for cosx, and then using a cosine table to
approximate x. See Fig.15-24.

I f'(x) =cosx + l. f"(x) = —sinx. The critical numbers are the solutions of cos;t=-l, x = (2n + l)-rr.

y = (2n + l)TT. See Fig.15-26.

16.1 A rectangular field is to be fenced in so that the resulting area is c square units. Find the dimensions of that field
(if any) for which the perimeter is a minimum,and the dimensions (if any) for whichthe perimeter is amaximum.
I Let f be the length and w the width. Then f w = c. The perimeter p = 2( + 2w = 2( + 2c/f. ( can be
any positive number. D(p = 2-2c/f2, and D2ep=4c/f3. Hence, solving 2-2c/f2 = 0, we see that
f =Vc is a critical number. The second derivative is positive, and, therefore, there is a relative minimum at
t = Vc. Since that is the only critical number and the function 2f +2c/f is continuous for all positive f ,
there is an absolute minimumat f = Vc. (If p achieved a still smaller value at some other point f0, there would
have to be a relative maximum at some point between Vc and f0, yielding another critical number.) When
( = Vc, w = Vc. Thus, for a fixed area, the square is the rectangle with the smallest perimeter. Notice that
the perimeter does not achieve a maximum,since p = 2f + 2c//—» +00 as f—»+00.
16.2 Find the point(s) on the parabola 2x =y2
closest to the point (1,0).
I Refer to Fig. 16-1. Let u be the distance between (1,0) and a point (x, y) on the parabola. Then
u =V(* - I)2
+ y2
. To minimize u it suffices to minimize u2
=(x - I)2
+y2
. Now, u2
=(x - I)2
+ 2x.
Since (x, y) is a point on 2x =y2
, x can be any nonnegative number. Now, Dx(u2
) =2(x - 1) + 2 = 2x >0
for *>0. Hence, u2
is an increasing function, and, therefore, its minimum value is attained at x = 0, y = 0.

M = V*2

- To
minimize M, it suffices to minimize u2

+(y - I)2
. Since
*2

+ 2, y can be any real number. Dy(u2
) =2y +2(y - 1) = 4y -2. Also, D2
(M2
) = 4. The only
critical number is|, and, since the second derivative ispositive, there isa relative minimum at y = , x=±.
Since there is only one critical number, this point yields the absolute minimum.
A closed box with a square base is to contain 252cubic feet. The bottom costs $5per square foot, the top costs $2

h =252. The cost of the bottom
is 5s2

DsC = 14s- 3024/s2, and D2C= 14 +6048/s3. Solving 14s - 3024/s2 = 0, 14s3 = 3024, s3 = 216, s = 6.
Thus, s = 6 is the only critical number. Since the second derivative is always positive for s>0, there is a
relative minimum at s = 6. Since s = 6 is the only critical number, it yields an absolute minimum. When

I Let x be the length of the line and let y be the height of the printed material. Then xy = 60. The amount
of paper A = (x + W)(y + 6) = (x + 10)(60/x + 6) = 6(10 + x + 100/x + 10) =6(20 +x + 100/x). x can be
any positive number. Then DXA = 6(1-100/x2
) and D2
/l = 1200/.X3
. Solving 1 - 100/x2
= 0, we see
that the only critical number is 10. Since the second derivative is positive, there is a relative minimum at
x = 10, and, since this is the only critical number, there is an absolute minimum at x =10.
A farmer wishes to fence in a rectangular field of 10,000 ft2
. The north-south fences will cost $1.50 per foot,while
the east-west fences will cost $6.00 per foot. Find the dimensions of the field that will minimize the cost.
I Let x be the east-west dimension, and let y be the north-south dimension. Then xy = 10,000. The cost
C = 6(2x) + 1.5(2v) = 12x + 3y = Ux + 3(10,000Ix) = Ux + 30,000/x. x can be any positive number. DXC =

C = 60,000/x3
. Solving 12 -30,000/x2

, x =50. Thus, 50 is the only
critical number. Since the second derivative is positive, there is a relative minimumat x = 50. Since this is the
only critical number, this is an absolute minimum. When x = 50, y = 200.
Find the dimensions of the closed cylindrical can that will have a capacity of k units of volume and will use the

,
D2
rM = 477 + 4k/r*. Solving 47rr - 2Jt/r2

the second derivative is positive, this yields a relative minimum, which, by the uniqueness of the critical number, is
an absolute minimum. Note that k = irr2h = Trr3(h/r) = ir(kl2it)(hlr). Hence, hlr = 2.
In Problem 16.7, find the ratio hlr that will minimizethe amount of material used if the bottom and top of the can

16.11 The selling price P of an item is 100-0.02jc dollars, where x is the number of items produced per day. If the
cost C of producing and selling x items is 40* + 15,000 dollars per day,how many items should be produced
and sold every day in order to maximize the profit?
I The total income per day is jt(100- 0.02.x). Hence the profit G =x( 100 -0.02*) -(40* + 15,000) =
60x-0.02x2

G =-0.04. Hence, the unique critical number is
the solution of 60 — 0.04x = 0, x = 1500. Since the second derivative is negative, this yields a relative

I Let R be the point where the boat lands, and let O be the center of the circle. Since AOPR is isosceles,

closed interval [0, Tr/2], we can use the tabular method. List the critical number ir/6 and the endpoints 0 and
7T/2, and compute the corresponding values of T. The smallest of these values is the absolute minimum.
Clearly, 7r/3<3, and it is easy to check that 7r/3<(6V5 + IT) 19. (Assume the contrary and obtain the
false consequence that ir > 3V5.) Thus, the absolute minimumis attained when 0 —Tr/2. That means that
the man walks all the way.

DgT=0, We obtain sin 0 = 5 , which is impossible. Hence, we use the tabular method for just the
endpoints 0 and itII. Then, since  < ir/3, the absolute minimum is , attained when 0 = 0. Hence, in
this case, the man paddles all the way.
A wire 16feet long has to be formed into a rectangle. What dimensions should the rectangle have to maximize

I Let x andy be the dimensions. Then 16 = 2x +2y, 8=x +y. Thus, 0sx < 8. The area A =xy =

, so DXA = 8 - 2x, D2
XA = —2. Hence, the only critical number is x = 4. We can use
the tabular method. Then the maximum value 16is attained when x =4. When x =4, y =4. Thus, the
rectangle is a square.

Among all right triangles with fixed perimeter p, find the one with maximum area.

p-2x =x^2, x=p/(2 + V2). Thus, the only critical number is x =p/(2 +V2). Since 0<*</?,

A rectangular garden is to be completely fenced in, with one side of the garden adjoining a neighbor's yard. The
neighbor has agreed to pay for half of the section of the fence that separates the plots. If the garden is to contain
432ft2
, find the dimensions that minimize the cost of the fence to the garden's owner.
f Let y be the length of the side adjoining the neighbor, and let * be the other dimension. Then
432 = *y, Q =xD,y +y, Dxy = -y/x. The cost C =2x +y + y = 2* + |y. Then, DfC =2+(Dfy) =

A rectangular box with open top is to be formed from a rectangular piece of cardboard which is 3 inches x
8 inches. What size square should be cut from each corner to form the box with maximum volume? (The
cardboard is folded along the dotted lines to form the box.)
Fig. 16-11
I Let * be the side of the square that is cut out. The length will be 8-2*, the width 3-2*, and
the height *. Hence, the volume V= *(3 - 2*)(8 - 2*); so D XV= (1)(3 - 2*)(8 - 2*) +*(-2)(8- 2*)
*(3-2*)(-2) = 4(3*-2)(*-3), and D2
V=24*-44. Setting DXV=0, we find *=| or x = 3.
Since the width 3 of the cardboard is greater than 2*, we must have *<§. Hence, the value * = 3 is
impossible. Thus, we have a unique critical number * = I , and, for that value, the second derivative turns
out to be negative. Hence, that critical number determines an absolute maximumfor the volume.

charge per thousand decreased by 37.5 cents for each thousand above 50,000. Find the order that will maximize
the company's income.
I Let x be the number of orders in thousands. Then the price per thousand is 30 for x s50 and
30-j|(jt-50) for *>50. Hence, for *<50, the income 7 = 30*, and, for jt>50, / = ;t[30-

I Let M be the x-coordinate of the leftmost vertex B of the rectangle on the x-axis. Then the y-coordinate of the
other two vertices is 4«. The x-coordinate of the vertex C opposite B is obtained by solving the equation
y=-5x + 6 for x when y=4u. This yields x = (6-4w)/5. Hence, this is the x-coordinate of the other
vertex D on the x-axis. Thus, the base of the rectangle is equal to (6-4u)/5 -u =(6-9u)/5. Therefore,
the area of the rectangle A =4w(6- 9u)/5 = f u - f u2
. Then DUA = f 7 f u and D2
uA =-%.
Solving DUA = 0, we find that the only positive critical number is M = 3. Since the second derivative is

Solving DyA = Q, we obtain x = y, P = (4 + TT)X, x = /V(4+7r). Since the second derivative is nega-

I Let x be the ^-coordinate of E. Let v be the y-coordinate of N. By similar triangles, ylb =xl(x - a),

the area of the triangle is |(*/3)(*V3/6) = V3x2

f Let t be the time until the object hits the ground. Since the building is 400feet tall, 400=16f2
, t2
=25,
t = 5. The velocity v = D,s. Since s = s0 - I6t2
, v = -32f. When t =5, i; = -160. Thus, the speed
v is 160ft/s. To change to mi/h, we calculate as follows:
In particular, when x = 160ft/s, the speed is about 108.8 mi/h.
17.5 A rocket is shot straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 128ft/s. How far has it traveled in 1 second?
I The height s = s0 + v0t - I6t2
. Since s0 = 0 and v0 = 128, s = 128t-l6t2
. When t=l, s = 112ft.
17.6 In Problem 17.5, when does the rocket reach its maximum height?
I At the maximumvalue of5, v = D,s =0, but v = 128 - 3>2t. Setting v =0, weobtain t = 4 seconds.
17.7 In Problem 17.5,when does the rocket strike the ground again and what is its velocity when it hits the ground?
I Setting s =0, 128t - I6t2
= 0, 16t(8 - t) = 0, / = 0 or t = 8. So the rocket strikes the ground again
after 8 seconds. When / = 8, the velocity v = 128- 32t= 128-256=-128 ft/s. The velocity is negative
(because the rocket is moving downward) and of the same magnitude as the initial velocity (seeProblem 17.28).
17.8 A rock is thrown straight down from a height of 480 feet with an initial velocity of 16ft/s. How long does it take
to hit the ground and with what speed does it hit the ground?
I The height s = s0 +v0t - I6t2
. In this case, J0 = 480 and u0=-16. Thus, s = 480 -I6t - 16t2
=
16(30- t-t2
) =16(6+ t)(5-t). Setting 5= 0, we obtain t=-6 or t =5. Hence, the rock hits the
ground after 5 seconds. The velocity v =D,s= -16 - 32f. When t =5, v = -16 - 160 = -176, so the
rock hits the ground with a speed of 176ft/s. (Theminus sign in the velocity indicates that the rock is moving
downward.)
17.9 Under the same conditions as in Problem 17.8, how long does it take before the rock is moving at a speed of
112ft/s?
133
134 0 CHAPTER 17
I From Problem 17.8, we know that v = D,s = —16 —32t. Since the rock is moving downward, a speed of
112 ft/s corresponds to a velocity v of -112. Setting -112=-16-32r, 32/ = 96, t = 3 seconds.
17.10 Under the same conditions as in Problem 17.8,when has the rock traveled a distance of 60 feet?
f Since the rock starts at a height of 480 feet, it has traveled 60 feet when it reaches a height of 420 feet.
Since s =480 - 16f - 16f2
, weset 420 =480 - 16f - 16*2
, obtaining 4t2
+4f - 15 =0, (It + 5)(2t - 3)=0,
t=—2.5 or f=1.5. Hence, the rock traveled 1.5 seconds.
17.11 An automobile moves along a straight highway, with its position 5 given by s = 12t3
- l&t2
+9t- 1.5 (s in
feet, t in seconds). When is the car moving to the right, when to the left, and where and when does it change
direction?
I Since s increases as we move right, the car moves right when v = D,s>0, and moves left when
v = D,s<0. v= 36t2
-36t +9 =9(4f2
-4t + 1) = 9(2t- I)2
. Since i; >0 (except at t =0.5, where
i; = 0), the car always moves to the right and never changes direction. (It slows down to an instantaneous
velocity of 0 at t = 0.5 second, but then immediately speeds up again.)
17.12 Refer to Problem 17.11. What distance has the car traveled in the one second from t = 0 to t =1?
I From the solution to Problem 17.11, we know that the car is always moving right. Hence, the distance
traveled from t =0 to t = 1 is obtained by takingthe difference between its position at time t = 1 and its
position at time t =0: s(l) -s(0) = 1.5 -(-1.5) = 3ft.
17.13 The position of a movingobject on a line is given by the formula s = (t —l)3
(t —5). When is the object moving
to the right, when is it movingleft, when does it change direction, and when is it at rest? What is the farthest to
the left of the origin that it moves?
I v =D,s =(t-l)3
+3(t-l)2
(t-5) =(t-l)2
[t-l +3(t-5)] =4(t-l)2
(t-4). Thus, u > 0 when t>
4, and v<0 when t<4 (except at t=l, when v =0). Hence, the object is moving left when
t<4, and it is movingright when t>4. Thus, it changes direction when r = 4. It is never at rest. (To be
at rest means that s is constant for an interval of time, or, equivalently, that v = 0 for an entire interval of
time.) The object reaches its farthest position to the left when it changes direction at t = 4. When t = 4,
s =-27.
17.14 A particle moves on a straight line so that its position s (in miles) at time t (in hours) is given by
s = (4t —l)(t —I)2
. When is the particle moving to the right, when to the left, and when does it change
direction? When the particle is moving to the left, what is the maximum speed that it achieves?
I v = D,s = 4(t- I)2
+2(t - l)(4f - 1) =2(t - l)[2(t - 1) +4t- 1] =2(t - 1)(6( - 3) =6(t- )(2t - 1). Thus,
the key values are t = and ( = 0.5. When t>, v>Q; when 0.5<«1, v<0; when f<0.5,
v>0. Thus, the particle is moving right when f<0.5 and when t>l. It is moving left when
0.5 < t< 1. So it changes direction when t =0.5 and when t = 1. To find out what the particle'smaximum
speed is when it is moving left, note that the speed is v. Hence, when v is negative, as it is when the particle is
moving left, the maximum speed is attained when the velocity reaches its absolute minimum. Now, D,v =
6[2(t- l) + 2f-l] = 6(4f-3), and D2
v =24>0. Hence, by the second derivative test, v reaches an
absolute minimum when t =0.75 hour. When t =0.75, i; = -0.75mi/h. So the desired maximum speed
is 0.75 mi/h.
17.15 Under the assumptions of Problem 17.14, what is the total distance traveled by the particle from t =0 to
f = l ?
I The problem cannot be solved bysimplyfindingthe difference between the particle's positions at t = 1 and
t = 0, because it is movingin different directions duringthat period. We must add the distance dr traveled while
it is moving right (from t = 0 to t = 0.5) to the distance de traveled while it is moving left (from t = 0.5
to r=l). Now, dr =i(0.5) -s(0) = 0.25 -(-!) = 1.25. Similarly, dt =s(0.5) - s(l) = 0.25 -0 = 0.25.
Thus, the total distance is 1.5 miles.
17.16 A particle moves along the A:-axis according to the equation x = Wt - 2t2
. What isthe total distance covered by
the particle between t =0 and t =3?
RECTILINEAR MOTION 0 135
I The velocity i> = D,x = 10-4t. Thus, v>0 when t<2.5, and u < 0 when t>2.5. Hence, the
particle is moving right for t < 2.5 and it is moving left for t > 2.5. The distance dr that it covers while it is
moving right from t =0 to < = 2.5 is *(2.5) -;t(0) = 12.5 -0= 12.5. The distance de that it coverswhile
it is moving left from t =2.5 to t = 3 is *(2.5) - x(3) = 12.5 - 12 = 0.5. Hence, the total distance is
d, + </, = 12.5 + 0.5 = 13.
17.17 A rocket was shot straight up from the ground. What must its initial velocity have been if it returned to earth in
20 seconds?
I Its height s = s0 + v0t —16f2
. In this case, s0 = 0 and v0 is unknown, so s = v0t — 16t2
. We are told
that s =0 when t =20. Hence, 0 = va(20) -16(20)2
, u0 = 320ft/s.
17.18 Two particles move along the x-axis. Their positions f(t) and g(t) are given by f(t) =6t —t2
and g(t) =
t2
—4t. (a) When do they have the same position? (ft) When do they have the same velocity? (c) When they
have the same position, are they moving in the same direction?
I (a) Set 6t-t2
=t2
-4t. Then t2
-5t =0, t(t-5) =0, t =0 or f = 5. (ft) The velocities are
f'(t) =6-2t and g'(t) =2t-4. Setting 6-2t =2t-4, we have t =2.5. (c) When they meet at
t = 0, f ' ( t ) = f ' ( 0 ) = 6 and g'(t) = g'(0)=-4. Since /'(O) and g'(0) have opposite signs, they are moving
in opposite directions when t = 0. When they meet at t = 5, f'(t)=f'(5)=-4 and g'(t) = g'(5) = 6.
Hence, when t =5, they are moving in opposite directions.
17.19 A particle moves along thex-axis according totheequation x= j/3
-  cos 2t +3.5. Find thedistance traveled
between t =0 and t = ir/2.
I The velocity v = t2
+sin2t. For Q<t<irl2, sin2f>0, and, therefore, u>0. Hence, the particle
moves right between t = 0 and t = IT 12. So the distance traveled is x(irl2) - x(0) = (tr3

/24+l.
17.20 A ball is thrown vertically into the air so that its height s after t seconds is given by
maximum height.
17.21 A particle moving along a straight line is accelerating at the constant rate of 3 m/s2
. Find the initial velocity va if
the displacement during the first two seconds is 10m.
I The acceleration a = D,v=3. Hence, v =3t+C. When f = 0, v = v0. So C = v0. Thus, v =
3t+v0, but v = D,s. So s = t2
+ v0t + K. When t =0, s = s0, the initial position, so K = sa.
Thus, s = t2
+ v0t + s0. The displacement during the first two seconds is s(2) - s(Q) = (6 + 2v0 + s0) —s0 =
6 +2v0. Hence, 6 + 2u0 = 10, i;0 = 2m/s.
17.22 A particle moving on a line is at position s = t3
—6t2
+ 9t —4 at time t. At which time(s) t, if any, does it
change direction?
I v = D,s =3t2
-I2t +9 =3(t2
-4t +3) =3(t- l)(f-3). Since the velocity changes sign at (=1 and
t = 3, the particle changes direction at those times.
17.23 A ball is thrown vertically upward. Its height 5 (in feet) after t seconds is given by s = 40t —I6t2
. Find
(a) when the ball hits the ground, (ft)the instantaneous velocity at t = 1, (c) the maximum height.
I v =D,s =40- 32t, D2
s = -32. (a) Tofindout when the ball hits the ground, we set s = 40t - 16(2
=0.
Then t = 0 or f = 2.5. So the ball hits the ground .after 2.5 seconds, (ft) When t = l, u = 8ft/s. (c)
Set i>=40 — 32t = 0. Then f = 1.25. Since the second derivative is negative, this unique critical number
yields an absolute maximum. When f=1.25, s = 25ft.
17.24 A diver jumps off a springboard 10 feet above water with an initial upward velocity of 12ft/s. Find (a) her
maximum height, (ft)when she will hit the water, (c) her velocity when she hits the water.
Setting we obtain
Since the second derivative is negative, we must have a relative maximumat t = 9, and, since that is the unique
critical number, it must be an absolute maximum. At t = 9, 5 = 9.

A stone is dropped from the roof of a building 256ft high. Two seconds later a second stone is thrown downward
from the roof of the same building with an initial velocity of v0 ft/s. If both stones hit the ground at the same
time, what is v0l
I For the first stone, j = 256 - I6t2
. It hits the ground when 0= s - 256 - 16?2
, t2
= 16, t =4 seconds.
Since the second stone was thrown 2 seconds later than the first and hit the ground at the same time as the first, the
second stone's flight took 2 seconds. So, for the second stone, 0 = 256+ va(2) - 16(2)2

17.31 A woman standing on a bridge throws a stone straight up. Exactly 5 seconds later the stone passes the woman on

17.30
17.29
From Problem 17.27, we know that the object hits the ground u0/16 seconds after it was thrown. Hence,
With what velocity must an object be thrown straight up from the ground in order to reach a maximumheight of h
feet?
With what velocity must an object be thrown straight up from the ground in order for it to hit the ground ?0 seconds
later?
I By Problem 17.27, the object hits the ground after i>0/16 seconds. At that time, v = v0 —32? = va —
32(i>0/16) = —DO. Thus, the velocity when it hits the ground is the negative of the initial velocity, and, therefore,
the speeds are the same.
17.28 Under the conditions of Problem 17.27, show that the object hits the ground with the same speed at which it was
initially thrown.
I s = s0 +v0t - I6t2
. In this case, s0 = 0. So s = v0t - 16?2
, v = D,s= v0-32t, a = D,v = D2
s = -32.
So the unique critical number is t = i>0/32, and, since the second derivative is negative, this yields the
maximum height. Thus, the time of the upward flight is i>0/32. The object hits the ground again when
s = v0t — I6t2
= 0, v0 = 16?, t = u0/16. Hence, the total time of the flight was i>0/16, and half of that time,
i>0/32, was used up in the upward flight. Hence, the time taken on the way down was also D0/32.
17.27
f Since she is moving only under the influence of gravity,her height s = s0 + v0t —16?2
. In this case, sa =10
and va = 12. So 5 = 10 + 12? - 16?2, v = D,s = 12 - 32?, D2s = -32. (a) Setting v=Q, we obtain
t = 0.375. Since the second derivative is negative, this unique critical number yields an absolute maximum.
When ?= 0.375, s = 16.75 ft. (ft) To find when she hits the water, set s = 10+ 12? - 16r2
=0. So (5-
40(1 + 20 = 0, and, therefore, she hits the water at ?= 1.25 seconds, (c) At ?= 1.25, c=-28ft/s.
A ball is thrown vertically upward. Its height s (in feet) after t seconds is given by s - 48? - 16?2
. For which
values of ?will the height exceed 32 feet?
I We must have 48?-16?2
>32, 3?-?2
>2, ?2
-3? + 2<0, (?-2)(?-1) <0. The latter inequality
holds precisely when 1< ? < 2.
The distance a locomotive is from a fixed point on a straight track at time ?is given by s = 3?4

when v<0. Clearly, v>0 when ?>8; u < 0 when 3<?<8; v>Q when 0<?<3; v <0 when
t < 0. Thus, it was in reverse when 3 < ?< 8 (and, if we allow negative time, when ?< 0).
An object is thrown straight up from the ground with an initial velocity v0 ft/s. Show that the time taken on the
upward flight is equal to the time taken on the way down.

I The height of the stone s =sa + v0t— I6t2
, where sa is the height of the bridge above the water. When
t =5, s =s0. So sa = s0 + v0(5) - 16(5)2
, 5i;0 = 400, u0 = 80ft/s. Hence, 5 = s0 +SOt - 16t2
. When

f From Problem 17.27, we know that the object reaches its maximum height after i>0/32 seconds. When

19.34 A particle moves along the *-axis with acceleration a = 2r-3ft/s2
. At time t =0 it is at the origin and
moving with a speed of 4ft/s in the positive direction. Find formulas for its velocity v and position s, and
determine where it changes direction and where it is moving to the left.
D,v = a=2t- 3. So, v = J (2t-3) dt = t2
- 3t + C. Since v =4 when t = 0, C = 4. Thus, v =
t2
-3t +4. Since v = D,s, s = J (t2
-3t + 4) dt = ^t3
- t2
+4t + C,. Since s=0 when f = 0, C,=0.
Thus, 5 = |?3
—t2
+ 4t. Changes of direction occur where 5 reaches a relative maximum or minimum. To
look for critical numbers for 5, we set v = 0. The quadratic formula shows that v = 0 has no real roots.
[Alternatively, note that t2
—3/ +4= (t- | )2
+ J > 0.] Hence, theparticle never changes direction. Sinceit
is moving to the right at t = 0, it always moves to the right.

v = S(t2

s = fvdt= |-|f4

-fr2
+ 4f+C,. Since s =0 when t = 0, C=0. Thus, s =

-T*2
+ 4f. To find critical numbers for s, we set i> = 0, obtaining t3
- 13^ + 12= 0. Clearly, f = l isa
root. Dividing t3
-13t+l2 by f-1, we obtain t2
+ t- 12 = (t +4)(t -3). Thus, r = 3 and f =-4
also are critical numbers. When t =, D2
i = a = -^<0. Hence, s has a relative maximum at t = .
Similarly, a= ">0 when t = 3, and,therefore, 5 has a relative minimum at t = 3; a = T > 0 when
t = -4, and, therefore, s hasa relative minimumat t= -4. Hence, the particle changes direction at t= -4,
t = 1, and f = 3. It moves left for t< -4, where it reaches a minimum;it moves right from t= —4 to
t=l, where it reaches a maximum; it moves left from t =  to f = 3, where it reaches a minimum;then it
moves right for f > 3.
19.36 A motorist applies the brakes on a car moving at 45 miles per hour on a straight road, and the brakes cause a
constant deceleration of 22 ft/s . In how many seconds will the car stop, and how many feet will the car have
traveled after the time the brakes were applied?
Let t = 0 be the time the brakes were applied, let the positive s direction be the direction that the car was
traveling, and let the origin 5 = 0 be the point at which the brakes were applied. Then the acceleration
a =—22. So, v = J a dt= -22t+ C. The velocity at t = 0 was 45mi/h, which is the same as
66ft/s: Hence, C = 66. Thus, v = ~22t + 66. Then s = J v dt = -llr + 66f + C,. Since .$ = 0 when
t-0, C, =0 and s = -llt2
+66t. The car stops when v=0, that is, when t =3. At t =3, s=
99. So, the car stops in 3 seconds and travels 99 feet during that time.

is the particle's speed at time / = tr/21
v =J adt= - cos2f + j/3

Hence, at time t=-rr/2, v = -  cos IT + |(7r/2)3 + 3 =  + w3/24. Its position s = J i; dt = -  sin2r +

Find the total distance traveled in the period from t = 1 to t =4.
v = (t-2)(t + 1). Hence, u = 0 when t =2 or /=-!. Since a = D,v =2t-l is equal to 3
when t = 2, the position s of the particle is a relative minimumwhen t =2. So, the particle moves to the left
from t= to t = 2, and to the right from t = 2 to / = 4. Now, 5 = J v dt = $t* - ^t2 - 2t + C. By
direct computation, s(l) = -•£ + C, s(2) = - f + C and s(4) = f + C. Hence, the distance traveled
from t=l to t = 2 is s(l) - s(2) = I and the distance traveled from t = 2 to f = 4 is |s(2)-
s(4)| = T. Thus, the total distance traveled is f.

19.59 A space ship is moving in a straight line at 36,000 miles per second. Suddenly it accelerates at a = I8t mi/s2

Assume that the speed of light is 180,000 mi/s and that relativistic effects do not influence the velocity of the space
ship. How long does it take the ship to reach the speed of light and how far does it travel during that time?
v = J a dt = J 18/ dt = 9r + C. Let r = 0 be the time at which the ship begins to accelerate. Then
y = 36,000 when t = 0, and, therefore, C = 36,000. Setting 9r + 36,000 = 180,000, we find that t2

The position at time t = 40VTS is 3r(r + 12,000) + sn = 120VIO(28,000) + s0. Hence, the distance traveled

vertical component of the initial velocity. When ( =5, s =0. So, 0 = h +5v0 -400, v0 = (400- h)/5.
Since the angle of projection is 45°, the horizontal component of the velocity has the initial value v0,and this value

The area A(x) of the dashed square in Fig. 22-27 is 4(r2

Refer to Fig. 22-29. By completingthe square, we see that the equation of the circle is (x - 8)2

So, the center is (8,0) and the radius is 8. The height of each rectangle is 2x, and its base is 2y =

The integrand in the second summand is the area, 3277, of a semicircle of radius 8 (by Problem 20.71). Hence,
V= 32(327r) = 102477.
22.55 The section of a certain solid cut by any plane perpendicular to the jc-axis is a square with the ends of a diagonal

The parabolas intersect at (0,0) and (9,9). The diagonal d of the square is 3*"2

Let the *-axis be the fixed diameter, with the center of the circle as the origin. Then the radius of the
semicircle at abscissa x is V/-2

the solid. Find the volume.
See Fig. 22-31. The altitude h = b cos 30° = bV3. For each x, y =x tan 30° = (1A/3)*. Hence, the

2 sinh x cosh x The identity holds.
sinh (x + y) sinh x cosh y + cosh x sinh y.
sinh x cosh y + cosh x sinh y
The identity holds.
cosh (x + v) = cosh x cosh y - sinh x sinh y.
Think of y as fixed and take the derivatives of both sides of the identity in Problem 24.103. Then
cosh (x + y) = cosh x cosh y + sinh x sinh y. This is the correct identity, not the given one.
Thus, both identities hold.
By the identity found in the solution of Problem 24.104, cosh 2x = cosh2
x + sinh2
x. This is the correct
identity, not the given one.
By the identity established in the solution of Problem 24.106, cosh 2x = cosh2

A tank initially contains 400 gallons of brine in which 100pounds of salt are dissolved. Pure water is running into

Let y be the number of pounds of salt in the mixture at time t. Since the concentration of salt at any given
time is y/400 pounds per gallon, and 20 gallons flow out per minute, the rate at which y is diminishing is
20-y/400 = 0.05y pounds per minute. Hence, Dty = —0.05y, and, thus, y is decaying exponentially with a

An object cools from 120 to 95°F in half an hour when surrounded by air whose temperature is 70°F. Use
Newton's law of cooling (Problem 26.22) to find its temperature at the end of another half an hour.
The earth weighs 6.586 x 1021
x 2000 pounds. When this is equal to the weight of y billion people,
120x 10"y = 6.586 x 1021

Taking logarithms, In 1.1 + 14 In 10= In 3.6 + 0.02f, 0.02f = 31.05, t*= 1552.5 years. The date would be
1970 + 1552 = 3522.
Let y be the difference in temperature between the object and the air. By Newton's law, y = y0eKt
.
When t = ,
Since y0 = 120 -70 = 50, y = 50e . At
y = 50e* = 50 Hence, the temperature of the object is 70 + 12.5 = 82.5°F.
What is the present value of a sum of money whichif invested at 5 percent interest, continuously compounded, will
become $1000 in 10 years?
Let y be the value of the money at time t, and let y0 be its present value. Then, by Problem 26.9,
y = y0e005
'. In 10 years, 1000 = y0e°05(10)
= y0e05
. So y0 = 1000/e05

the present value is about $606.53.

Planar Vectors
33.1 Find the vector from the point ,4(1, -2) to the point B (3, 7).
The vector AB = (3- 1,7 - (-2)) = (2,9). In general, the vector P,P2 from />,(*,, ;y,) to P2(x2, y,) is
(*2-.v,, y2-yt).
33.2 Given vectors A = (2,4) and C = (-3,8), find A + C, A-C, and 3A.
By componentwise addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication, A + C = (2 + (—3), 4 + 8) = (—1.12),
A-C = (2-(-3), 4-8) = (5,-4), and 3A = (3-2, 3-4) = (6, 12).
33.3 Given A = 3i + 4j and C = 2i-j, find the magnitude and direction of A + C.
A + C = 5i + 3j. Therefore, |A + C| = V(5)2
+ (3)2
= V34. If S is the angle made by A + C with the
positive *-axis, tan 0 = f. From a table of tangents, 0 = 30°58'.
33.4 Describe a method for resolving a vector A into components A, and A2 that are,respectively, parallel and
perpendicular to a given nonzero vector B.
A = A , + A 2 , Aj=cB, A2 -B = 0. So, A2 = A- A, = A- cB, 0 = A2 -B = (A - cB) •B= A - B - c|B|.
Hence, c = (A-B)/|B|2
. Therefore, A: = B, and A2 = A- cB= A - B. Here, (A-B)/|B|
is the scalarprojection of A on B, and = A, is the vector projection of A on B.
33.5 Resolve A = (4,3) into components A, and A2 that are, respectively, parallel and perpendicular to B =
(3,1).
From Problem 33.4 c = (A-B)/|B|2
= [(4-3) + (3-1)/10] = 3. So, A, = cB = |(3,1) = (f, f) and
A2 = A-A1 = (4,3)-(l,|) = (-i,l).
33.6 Show that the vector A = (a,fe) is perpendicular to the line ax + by + c = 0.
Let P,(AT,, _y,) and P2(x2, y2) be two points on the line. Then ax, + byt + c = 0 and ox, + by2 + c = 0.
By subtraction, a(jc, -x2) +b(yl - y2) = 0, or (a, b) • (xl - x2, yl - y2) =0. Thus, (a, b) •P,P, = 0,
(a, 6)1P2Pt- (Recall that two nonzero vectors are perpendicular to each other if and only if their dot product is
0.) Hence, (a, b) is perpendicular to the line.
33.7 Use vector methods to find an equation of the line M through the point P,(2, 3) that is perpendicular to the line
L:jt + 2.y + 5 = 0.
_By Problem 33.6, A = (1,2) is perpendicular to the line L. Let P(x, y) be any point on the line M.
P,P =(x-2, y-3) is parallel to M. So, (x -2, y - 3) = c(l, 2) for some scalar c. Hence, x-2 =c,
y - 3 = 2c. So, >>-3 = 2(x-2), y = 2x-l.
33.8 Use vector methods to find an equation of the line N through the points P,(l,4) and P2(3, —2).
Let P(x,y) be any point onJV. Then P,P = (x -JU y -4) and P,P2 = (3-1,-2-4) = (2,-6).
Clearly, (6,2) is perpendicular to P,P2, and, therefore, to P,P. Thus, 0 = (6, 2)• (x - 1, y - 4) = 6(x - 1) +
2( y - 4) = 6x +2y - 14. Hence, 3x + y -1 =0 is an equation of N.
33.9 Use vector methods to find the distance from P(2,3) to the line 3*+4y-12 = 0. See Fig. 33-1.
At any convenient point on the line, say ,4(4,0), construct the vector B = (3.4). which is perpendicular to
the line. The required distance d is the magnitude of the scalar projection of AP on B:

This derivation assumes a 5^0. If a = 0, a similar derivation can be given, taking A to be (0, -c/b).

[0 is (0,0), the zero vector.]
PR = PQ + QR = A + B. PR= PS + SR = -D - C. Hence, A + B = - D - C , A + B+ C + D = 0.

Let A = (3,1) and B = (l,5). Then, by the parallelogram law, OP =A + B = (3,1) + (1, 5) = (4, 6).
Hence, P has coordinates (4,6).

33.19 Find a vector perpendicular to the vector (2, 5).
In general, given a vector (a, b), a perpendicular vector is (b, -a), since (a, b) •(b, -a) = ab - ab =0. In
this case, take (5, -2).
33.20 Find the vector projection of A = (2, 7) on B = (-3,1).
By Problem 33.4, the projection is B = (-3,l)=A(-3,l) = (-tJs,&).
33.21 Show that A = (3,-6), B = (4,2), and C = (-7, 4) are the sides of a right triangle.
A + B + C = 0. Hence, A, B, C form a triangle. In addition, A-B = 3-4 + (-6)-2 = 0. Hence, A J_ B.
33.22 In Fig. 33-5, the ratio of segment PQ to segment PR is a certain number f, with 0 < f < l . Express C in termsof
A, B, and t.
PQ = tPR. But, Ptf = B-A. So, C = A+P<2 = A + fP/? = A + r(B-A) = (l-r)A + rB.

33.26 Use vector methods to show that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Let the diagonals of parallelogram PQRS intersect at W (Fig. 33-7). Let A = PQ, B = PS. Then
PR =A +B, SQ =-B. Now, B = PW+ WS = PW- SW =xPR -ySQ = *(A + B) -y( - B) =
(jc —y)A. + (x + y)B, where x andy are certain numbers between 0 and 1. Hence, x —y=0 and x + y =
1. So, x =y=. Therefore, PW= PR and SW= SQ, and the diagonals bisect each other.
33.27 Use vector methods to show that the line joining the midpointsof two sides of a triangle is parallel to andone-half
the length of the third side.
Let P and Q be the midpoints of sides OB and AB of &OAB (Fig. 33-8). Let A = OA and B = OB.
By Problem 33.22, OQ=|(A + B). Also, OF= |B. Hence, PQ= OQ - OP= |(A + B) - ^B = £A.
Thus, PQ is parallel to A and is half its length.
33.28 Prove Cauchy's inequality: |A •B| < |A| |B|.

If A-B = A-C, then A-(B-C) = 0. So, B-C can be any vector perpendicular to A; B-C

It is clear from the parallelogram law (Fig. 34-14) that R(t) generates the line «S? that passes through the
endpoint of A and is parallel to B. We have:
Further, R"(t) = dE/dt =0.

34.70 As a converse to Problem 34.69, show that if R'(«) = B^ 0 for all «, then R(u) = A + uE, a straight line.
Let R(w) = (/(«), g(u)) and B = (bl,b2). Then f'(u) = bl and g'(u) = b2. Hence, /(«) =
fetM + a, and g(u) = b2u + a2. So, R(M) = (&,« + a,, 62w + a2) = A+ «B.
34.71 If R"(M
) = 0 for all u, show that R(M) = A + uE, either a constant function or a straight line.
By Problem 34.68, R'(«) is a constant, B. If B = 0, then R(w) is a constant, again by Problem 34.68. If
B * 0, then R(M) has the form A + uE, by Problem 34.70.
34.72 Show that the angle 0between the position vector R(0 = (e1
cos t, e' sin /) and the velocity vector R'(0 is ir/4.
I R(/) = e'(cost, sin t). By the product formula, R'(') = e'(-sin t, cos 0 + e'(cos t, sin t) =e'(cos t - sin/,

calculated in Problem 34.33). Now, R(r) •R'(0 = e'(cos t, sinf) •e'(cos t - sin t, cosr + sin/) = e2

length approaches 0.
34.78 Let R(t) = (t + cos t, t-sin t). Show that the acceleration vector has constant length.
R'(0 = (l -sinf, 1-cosf), and R"(f) = (-cos t, sin t). Hence, |R"(')| =
34.79 Prove that, if the acceleration vector is always perpendicular to the velocity vector, then the speed is constant.
This follows from Problem 34.66, substitutingR'(0 for R(t).
284 CHAPTER 34
34.80 Prove the converse of Problem 34.79: If the speed is constant, then the velocity and acceleration vectors are
perpendicular.
This is a special case of Problem 34.59 if we substitute R'(0 for R(r).
34.81 Let T(f) be the unit tangent vector to a curve R(t). Show that, wherever T(t) * 0, the principal unit normal
vector N= TV |T| isperpendicular toT.
The argument of Problem 34.59 applies to any differentiable vector function. Therefore, T •T' = 0, which
in turn implies T-N = 0 wherever N is defined (i.e., wherever |T'| >0).
34.82 Show that the principal unit normal vector N(f) (Problem 34.81) points in the direction in whichT(f) is turning as t
increases.
Since N(t) has the same direction as T', we need prove the result only for T'. T'(0 =
For small Af, AT/Af has approximately the same direction as T'(0> and, when and
AT/Af have the same direction. If we place T(f + At) and T(f) with their tails at the origin, AT is the vector
from the head of T(f) to the head of 1(t + Af). Figure 34-16 shows that AT points in the direction in which T is
turning (to the right in this case).
Fig.34-16
34.83 If R(t) = (r cos t, r sin t), where t represents time, show that the principal unit normal vector N(f) has the same
direction as the acceleration vector.
R'(<) = K-sin t, cos t) and |R'(Ol = '• So, T(f) = R'/|R'| = (-sin t, cost). Hence, T'(0 = (~cos/,
-sinf) and |T'(Ol = 1. Thus, N(r) =T'(0 = -(cos r.sin t) = - - R. In this case, by Problem 34.74, N(f)
has the same direction as the acceleration vector. Note that N(f) is pointing in the direction in which T(f) is
turning, that is, "inside" the curve.
34.84 Compute N(f) for the curve R(t) = (2 cos t2
,2 sin f2
).
Thus,
So, |R'(OI=4|<|.
R'(0 = (~4f sint2
,4t cosr2
) = 4r(-sin t2
,cos t2
).
Hence, So, and, therefore, N(f) =
T(f)/|T(f)| = — (cos t2
,sin t2
). Again, N(f) has the same direction as the acceleration vector, that is, it points
toward the center of the circle traced out by R(t).
34.85 Show that when arc length s is chosen as the curve parameter, the principal unit normal vector has the simple
expression N(s) = R"(s) I R"(s).
By Problem 34.47, T(s) = R'(s), and so T'(s) = R"(s) and N(s) =T'(s)/|T(s)| = R"(s) /|R"(*)| [ex-
cept where R"(s) = 0].
34.86 Show that, for the cycloid R(() = a(t - sint, 1- cost), where / isthe time, the acceleration vector isnot parallel
to the principal unit normal vector.
PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS, VECTOR FUNCTIONS, CURVILINEAR MOTION 285
and
Thus N(f) has the direction of (sin t, cos t- 1). However, the acceleration vector R"(f) = a(sin t, cos t).
34.87 At a given point on a curve, does the unit tangent vector depend on the direction in which the curve is being swept
out?
We let S(t) =R(-t). Then S(t) traces the same curve as R(f), but in the reverse direction. S'(t) =
-R'(-0 and |S'(0| = |R'(~Ol- Let T*(f) be the unit tangent vector for the curve S(r). Then T*(r) =
S'(0/|S'(Ol = ~R
'(~0/IR
'(-OI = -T(-f)- Hence, at each point, the direction of the unit tangent vector has
been reversed.
34.88 At a given point on a curve, does the principal unit normal vector depend on the direction in which the curve is
being swept out?
Use the same notation as in Problem 34.87. Let N*(/) be the principal unit normal vector on the reversed
curve S(0- Since T*(t) =-T(-t), -r T*(f) =T(-t), by the chain rule. Hence,
Thus, the principal unit vector is not changed by reversing the direction along a curve.
34.89 Let </> be the angle between the velocity vector and the positive ;t-axis. Show that dT/dd> = 1.
Since T is a unit vector in the same direction as the velocity vector,
dT/d<t> = (-sin<f>, cos<f>) and dT/d<l> = 1.
T = (cos <£, sin <t>). Hence,
34.90 Show that there is a scalar function /(r) such that N'(0 = f(t)T(t), and find a formula for /(/).
Parameterize the curve as R(<) = (t, t3
).
Then
So, T'(0) = 0 and, therefore, N(0) is not denned.
34.91 Show that there is a scalar function/(r) such that N'(0 =/(0T(0> and nnd a formula for/(f).
Since N(t) is a unit vector, Problem 34.59 shows that N'(0 -I N(f). Since T(0 1 N(r), N'(0 and T(t)
must be parallel (remember that we are in two dimensions). Hence, there is a scalar function /(r) such that
T'
N'(r)=/(r)T(0- Since N(()-T(0 = 0, the product rule yields N-T' + N'-T = 0, N'-T= - 7^71 •!" =
-|T'|. Hence, - |T'|= N''-T =/(/)T• T =f(t), since T-T = |T|2
= 1. When t = s = arc length, the
scalar / measures the curvature of R($); see Problem 34.105.
34.92 Show that
By the product rule,
T()t)=1/v R'(t).

34.93 Generalize the result of Problem 34.83 to any motion at constant speed.
If dv/dt =0, Problem 34.92 gives T' = (l/y)aor N = (l/u)|T'|a.
34.94 Define the curvature K and radius of curvature p of a curve R(f)-
As in Problem 34.89, let $ denote the angle between the velocity vector R'(') and the positive jr-axis. The
curvature Kis defined as d<f>/ds, where s is the arc length. The curvature measures how fast the tangent vector
turns as a point moves along the curve. The radius of curvature is defined as p = |l//c|.
34.95 For a circle of radius a, traced out in the counterclockwise direction, show that the curvature is 1 la, and the radius
of curvature is «, the radius of the circle.
If (xa, y0) is the center of the circle, then R(t) =(x0 + a cos t, yg + a sin t) traces out the circle, where t is
the angle from the positive jc-axis to R(f) —(xa, y0). Then R'(0= a
(~sin t, cos t), and dsldt —a. The
angle <f> made by the positive *-axis with R'(f) is tan~l
Hence,

So, K = l/a, and by definition, the radius of curvature is a.
34.96 Find the curvature of a straight line R(f) = A + rB.
R'(f) = B. Since R'(0 is constant, $ is constant, and, therefore, K = d(f>/ds = 0.

Since Thus,

of T and N are called, respectively, the tangential and normal components of the acceleration vector. (Since
the normal component v2

By definition of T, T = R'(0/"- So, R'(0 = vT. By the product rule, R"(0 = vT +(dv/dt)T. By

The construction of the graph, Fig. 35-5, is indicated in the table of values. Note that some values of 0yield
two values of r, and some yield none at all (when cos 20 is negative). The graph repeats from 6 = IT to
9 = 2ir. The graph is called a lemniscate.

35.33 Sketch the graph of r = sin 2ft
The accompanying table of values yields Fig. 35-6. The graph is called a four-leaved rose.
35.34 Sketch the graph of r = 1- cos ft
The graph of r =/(0 - a) is the graph of r = f(6) rotated counterclockwise through a radians. Thus, a
rotation of Fig. 35-3 through IT radians gives the graph of r =1+ cos(6 - ir) = 1- cos ft
35.35 Sketch the graph of r =1- sin ft
Rotate Fig. 35-3 through 3ir/2 radians (or -IT 12 radians): r =1+ cos (9 - 3ir/2) = 1- sin ft
35.36 Sketch the graph of r = 1+ sinft
Rotate Fig. 35-3 through ir/2 radians: r = 1+ cos(0 - tr/2) = 1+ sin ft
35.37 Sketch the graph of r2

Rotate Fig. 35-5 through ir/4 radians: r2

Sketch the graph of r = sin 40.
Figure 35-14 shows an eight-leaved rose. Use increments of ir/8 in 0.
Fig. 35-14
Find the largest value of y on the cardioid r = 2(1 + cos 8).
y = r sin 6 = 2(1 + cos 0) sine. Hence, dy/dO = 2[(1 + cos 0) cos 0 - sin2
0]. Setting dy/d6 =Q, we
find (1 + cos 6) cos 6 =sin2
6, cos 0 +cos2
6 = 1-cos2
0, 2 cos2
6 +cos 0 - 1= 0, (2cos0 - l)(cos 0 +1) =
0, cos0 =  or cos0 = -1. Hence, we get the critical numbers it, ir/3,5ir/3. If we calculate y for these
values and for the.endpoints 0 and 2ir, the largest value 3V3/2 is assumed when 0 = ir/3.
Find all points of intersection of the curves r = I + sin2
0 and r= —1—sin2
0.
If we try to solve the equations simultaneously, we obtain 2 sin2
0 = -2, sin2
0 = -1, which is never
satisfied. However, there are,in fact, infinitely many points of intersection because the curves are identical.
Assume (r,0) satisfies r=l+sin2
0. The point (r, 6) is identical with the point (-l-sin2
0, 6 + TT),
which satisfies the equation r=-l-sin2
0 [because sin2
(0 + IT) = sin2
01.
Find the points of intersection of the curves r = 4 cos 0 and r = 4V5sin 0.
For the same (r, 0), 4V3sin 0 = 4cos 0, tan0 = l/V3, and, therefore, 0 = 77/6 or 6=7ir/6. So,
these points of intersection are (2V3, trl6) and (-2V5,7ir/6). However, notice that these points are identical.
So, we have just one point of intersection thus far. Considering intersection points where (r, 0) satisfies one
equation and (-r, 0 + IT) satisfies the other equation, we obtain no new solutions. However, observe that both
curves pass through the pole. Hence, this is a second point of intersection. (The curves are actually two
intersecting circles.)
Find the points of intersection of the curves r = V2 sin 0 and r2
= cos20.
Solving simultaneously, we have 2 sin2
0 = cos20, 2 sin2
0 = 1-2 sin2
0, 4 sin2
0 = 1, sin2
0 = J,
sin0 = ±|. Hence, we obtain the solutions 0 = 77/6,577/6,7-77/6,11it16, and the corresponding points
(V2/2, ir/6), (V2/2,5ir/6), (-V2/2,7ir/6), (-V2/2, llir/6). However, thefirstand third of these points are
identical, as are the second and fourth. So, we have obtained two intersection points. If we use (r, 0) for the
first equation and (-r, 0 + IT) for the second equation, we obtain the same pair of equations as before.
Notice that both curves pass through the pole (when r =0), which is a third point of intersection.

From 4cos29 = 4sin20, we obtain tan20 = l, 20 = ir/4 or S-ir/4. The latter is impossible, since
4cos(57r/4)<0 and cannot equal r2
. Hence, 0 = -rr/8, r2
= 2V2, r = ±23

. Putting (-r, 6 + IT)
in the second equation, we obtain the same equation as before and no new points are found. However, both
curves pass through the pole r = 0, which is a third point of intersection.
Find the points of intersection of the curves r = 1 and r = -1,
As r = l and r = - l both represent the circle *2

Find the area enclosed by the cardioid r = 1+ cos 6.
As was shown in Problem 35.30, the curve is traced out for 0=0 to 0 = 2-n. The generalformula for the
area is In this case, we have
Find the area inside the inner loop of the limacon r = 1+ 2 cos0.
Problem 35.31 shows that the inner loop is traced out from 0 = 5ir/6 to 0 = 7ir/6. So, the area
Find the area inside one loop of the lemniscate r2

From Problem 35.32, we see that the area of one loop is double the area in the first quadrant. The latter area
is swept out from 6 = 0 to 0 = ir/4. Hence, the required area is
i(l-0)=|.

From Problem 35.33, we see that the area of one petal is swept out from 0=0 to 9 = ir/2. Hence, the

35.60 Find the area inside the limacon r = l + 2 cos 0, but outside its inner loop.

From Problem 35.31, we see that it suffices to double the area above the *-axis. The latter can be obtained
by subtracting the area above the je-axis and inside the loop from the area outside the loop. Since the desired
area outside the loop is swept out from 0 = 0 to 0 = 2?r/3 and the desired area inside the loop is swept
out from 0=7r to 0 = 4ir/3, we obtain 2(i J0

I Setting sin 6 = cos 0, we obtain the intersection point (V2/2, 77/4). Substituting (-r, 0 + IT) for(r, 0)
in either equation yields no additional points. However, both curves pass through the pole, which is, therefore, a
second intersection point. [In fact, the curves are two circles of radius |, with centers (0, ) and (|,0),
respectively.]

Clearly where and are the angles between the common radius vector and the two
tangent lines. Hence, For r = sin 6, r' =

35.107 Find the angles of intersection of the curves r = 3cos0 and r = l+cos0
Solving the two equations simultaneously yields cos 0 = and, therefore, with r =
No other points lie on both curves except the pole. For r = 3 cos 0, r' = -3 sin 0 and tan (li, = —cot 0.

For r = 1 + cos 0, r' = —sin 0 and tan <l>2 = -(1 + cos 0)/sin 6. Here, i/fj and i/>2 are,as usual, the angles
between the radius vector and the tangent lines. The angle £ between the curves is ij/l- ifi2, and, therefore,
tan £ = (tan i/», - tan i/r2) /(I + tan tfi1 tan t/»,). Now, at 0 = ir/3, tan i/f, = -1/V3, tan i/», = V5, and
tan£ = [(-l/V3) + -v/

passes through the pole when 0 = IT. Hence, by Problem 35.92, those are the directions of the tangent lines,
and, therefore, the curves are orthogonal at the pole.

(Zeno's paradox) Achilles (A) and a tortoise (7") have a race. T gets a 1000-ft head start, but A runs at 10 ft/s
while the tortoise only does 0.01 ft/s. When A reaches T's starting point, T has moved a short distance ahead.
When A reaches that point, T again has moved a short distance ahead, etc. Zeno claimed that A would never
catch T. Show that this is not so.
When A reaches T's starting point, 100s have passed and T has moved 0.01 x 100= 1ft. A covers that
additional 1ft in O.ls, but Thas moved 0.01 x 0.1 =0.001 ft further. A needs 0.0001 s to cover that distance,
but T meanwhile has moved 0.01 x 0.0001 = 0.000001 ft; and so on. The limit of the distance between A and

a plane two units above and parallel to the xy-plane. Hence, the intersection is a circle of radius 1with center at
(0,0, 2) in the plane z = 2.
Let P = (*,, _y,, zj, Q = (x2, y2, z2), R = (x3, y3, z3). Assume (5,-1,3) is the midpoint of PQ,
(4,2,1) is the midpoint of QR, and (2,1,0) is the midpoint of PR. Then, (x1+x2)/2 = 5, (x2 + -v3)/2 = 4,
and (xl+x3)/2 =2. So, xt+x2 = 10, x2 +x*, = 8, and .*! + *3 = 4. Subtract the second equation
from the first: x t — x3 =2, and add this to the third equation: 2xt =6, xl =3. Hence, x2 = 7. *3 = 1.

If B x C = 0, what can be concluded about B and C?
|B x C| = |B| |C| sin 0, where 0 is the angle between B and C. So, if B x C = 0, either B= 0 or
C = 0 or sin 0 = 0. Note that sin 0 =0 is equivalent to B and C being parallel; in other words, linearly
dependent.
If A •(B x C) = 0, what can be concluded about the configuration of A, B, and C?
One possibility is that B x C = 0, which, by Problem 40.46, means that B = 0 or C = 0 o r B and
C are parallel. Another possibility is that A= 0. If A^ 0 and B x C * 0, then A•(B x C) = 0

where A = (a,, a2,a3), B =(bl, b2,b3), C = (c,, c2) c3).
By Problem 40.40, the cofactors of the first row are the respective components of B x C.
If A x B = A x C and A^ 0, does it follow that B = C?
No. AxB = AxC is equivalent to A x (B - C) = 0. The last equation holds when A is parallel to
B-C, and this can happen when B^C.
If A, B, C are mutually perpendicular, show that A x (B x C) = 0.
B x C is a vector perpendicular to the plane of B and C. By hypothesis, A is also such a vector and,
therefore, A and B x C are parallel. Hence, A x (B x C) = 0.

Show that the lines x = 1+ t, y = 2t, z = 1+3t and x = 3s, y =2s, z = 2 + s intersect, and find their

Assume (x, y, z) is a point of intersection. Then 2t = y =2s. So, t =s. From l + t =x =3s, we

Find an equation of the plane containing the point />
,(4,3, -2) and perpendicular to the vector (5, -4,6).
We know (from Problem 40.80) that the plane has an equation of the form 5x —4y + 6z = d. Since P, lies
in the plane, 5(4)— 4(3) + 6(-2) = d. So, d = —4 and the plane has the equation 5x - 4y +6z = -4.
Find an equation for the plane through the points P(l,3,5), Q(-l, 2, 4), and R(4,4,0).
is normal to the plane. N= (-2, -1, -1) x (3,1, -5) = (6, -13,1). So, the equation has
the form 6* - 13y + z = d. Since R is in the plane, 6(4)- 13(4) + 0 = d, d = —28. Thus, the equation is
6x - I3y +z = -28.
Find an equation for the plane through the points (3,2, -1), (1, —1,3), and (3, -2,4).
We shall use a method different from the one used in Problem 40.82. The equation of the plane has the form
ax + by + cz = d. Substitute the values corresponding to the three given points: (1) 3cz + 2b - c = d;
(2) a-b +3c = d; (3) 3a-2b +4c = d. Eliminating a from (1) and (2), we get (4) 5b-lOc=-2d.
Eliminating a from (2) and (3), we get (5) b —5c = —2d. Eliminating d from (4) and (5), we get
5b-Wc = b-5c, 4b =5c, b=c. From (5), -2rf=|c-5c, d=$c. From (2), a = d + b-3c =

fc+ jc-3c = c/8. So, the equation of the plane is (c/8)x + %cy + cz = ^c. Multiplying by 8/c yields

Find the cosine of the angle 6 between the planes 4x + 4_y-2z=9 and 2x + y + z =-3.
0 is the angle between the normal vectors (4,4, -2) and (2,1,1). So,
Of course, there is another angle between the planes, the supplement of the angle whose cosine was just found.
The cosine of the other angle is -cos 6 = —5V6/18.
Find parametric equations for the line 2£ that is the intersection of the planes in Problem 40.84.
The line «SPis perpendicular to the normal vectors of the planes, and is, therefore, parallel to their cross product
(4,4, —2) x (2,1,1) = (6, —8, —4). We also need a point on the intersection. To find one,set x = 0 and
solve the two resulting equations, 4y —2z = 9, y + z = -3. Multiplying the second equation by 2 and
adding, we get 6y = 3, y=. So, z = -. Thus, the point is (0, 3,-1) and we obtain the line x=6t,
y= i -8t, z---*t.
Find an equation of the plane containing the point P(1,3,1) and the line !£: x = t, y - t, z = t + 2.
The point Q(0,0,2) is on the given line .5? (set r = 0). The vector = (1,3,-1) lies in the
sought plane. Since the vector (1,1,1) is parallel to &, the cross product (1,3,—l)x(l,l,l) =
(4, -2, —2) is normal to the plane. So, an equation of the plane is 4* —2y —2z = d. Since the point
Q(0,0, 2) is in the plane, -4 = d. Thus, the plane has the equation 4x - 2y - 2z = —4, or 2x —y —z =
-2.

Since & and 0 are parallel, the normal vector (1, -2,2) of 0 is also a normal vector of 0". Hence, an
equation of 9 is x-2y +2z =d. Since the point (1, -1,2) lies on 9, l-2(-l) +2(2) = d, d =l. So, an
equation of S^ is x - 2y +2z =7.
Consider the sphere of radius 3 and center at the origin. Find the coordinates of the point P where the plane
tangent to this sphere at (1, 2,2) cuts the x-axis.
The radius vector (1,2, 2) is perpendicular to the tangent plane at (1, 2,2). Hence, the tangent plane has an
equation of the form x +2y +2z = d. Since (1,2,2) is in the plane, 1 + 2(2) + 2(2) = d, d =9. So, the
plane has the equation x +2y +2z =9. When y=0 and z = 0, x =9. Hence, the point Pis (9,0,0).
Find the value of k for which the planes 3x —4v + 2z + 9 = 0 and 3x + 4y —kz + 7 = 0 are perpendicular.
The planes are perpendicular if and only if their normal vectors (3, —4, 2) and (3,4, —fc)are perpendicular
which is equivalent to (3, -4, 2) -(3,4, -k) = 0, 9-16-2fc = 0, k=-.
Check that the planes x —2y +2z = 1 and 3* - y —z =2 intersect and find their line of intersection.
Since the normal vectors (1, -2,2) and (3, -1, —1) are not parallel, the planes are not parallel and must
intersect. Their line of intersection 3! is parallel to the cross product (1,-2,2) x (3,-1,-1) = (4,7,5). To
finda point on ££, set x =0 in the equations of the planes: -2y +2z = 1, -y - z =2. Multiply the second
equation by 2 and add: -4y = 5, y = -i, z = -1. So, the point (0, -, -f) is on .2", and £ hasthe
equations x = 4t, y = —f + It, z = —f + 5t.
Show that the two sets of equations
and
represent the same straight line.
The point (4,6, —9) lies on the first line, and substitution in the second system of equations yields the
equalities (4- l)/(-6) = (6- 2)/(-8) = (-9 - 3)/24. So, the twolines have a point in common. But the
denominators of their equations represent vectors parallel to the lines, in the first case, (3,4, -12) and, in the
second case, (-6, -8,24). Since (-6, -8,24)= -2(3,4, -12), the vectors are parallel. Hence, the two
lines must be identical.
Find an equation of a plane containing the intersection of the planes 3x —2y + 4z = 5 and 2x + 4y —z = 7
and passing through the point (2,1,2).
We look for a suitable constant k so that the plane (3x - 2y +4z - 5)+ k(2x +4y - z - 7)= 0 contains
the given point. Thus, (3 + 2k)x +(-2 +4k)y +(4 - k)z - (5+7k) =0 must be satisfied by (2,1,2):
(3 + 2fe)2 + (-2 + 4k) +(4- k)2 - (5+ Ik) =0, - k +1 = 0, k =7. So, the desired plane is 17* + 26y -
3z-54 =0.

Write the equations of the line in parametric form: x = -8 + 9t, y =10 - 4t, z =9 - 2t. Substitute in
me equation for the plane: 3(-8 + 9t) +4(10 - 4f) + 5(9- 2t) =76. Then, t +61= 76, t =15. Thus, the
point P is (127,-50, -21).
Show that the line lies in the plane 3x +4y -5z =25.
The equations of the line in parametric form are x =3 + 5t, y = — 1 + 5t, z = —4 + It. Substitute in the
equation of the plane: 3(3+ 5t) +4(-1 + 5t) - 5(-4 + It) =25, 0(t) +25=25, which holds identically in t.
Hence, all points of the line satisfy the equation of the plane.

Find an equation of the plane through P(l, 2, 3) and parallel to the vectors (2,1, -1) and (3, 6, -2).
A normal vector to the plane is (2,1, —1) x (3,6, ^2) = (4,1,9). So, the plane has an equation of the
form 4x + y + 9z = d. Since (1,2,3) lies in the plane, 4 + 2 +27 = d, d = 33. So, the equation is 4x +
y + 9z =33.
Find an equation of the plane through (2, -3,2) and the line 3!determined by the planes 6x + 4y + 3z + 5 = 0

Consider the plane (6x + 4y + 3z + 5) + k(2x + y + z - 2) = 0. This plane passes through X. We want
the point (2,-3,2) to be on the plane. So, (12- 12+ 6 + 5) + fc(4-3 + 2-2) = 0, ll +fc= 0, A: =-11.
Therefore, we get 6x + 4y +3z + 5 -11(2* + y +z - 2) = 0, -I6x -7y - 8z + 27 = 0, 16x +7y +8z -

is parallel to the plane. Also, the normal vector (2,3, -5) to the plane 2x +3y- 5z -
6 = 0 isparallel to the sought plane. Hence, a normal vector to the required plane is (-1, 3, 4) x (2,3, -5) =
(-27,3,-9). Thus, an equation of that plane has the form -27* + 3y -9z = d. Since (1,2, 3) lies in the
plane, -27 + 6-27= d, d=-48. Thus, weget -27* + 3y -9z = -48, or 9* - y + 3z = 16.

Since y is constant in the plane y = 5, the slope of the tangent line to the curve is dzldx. By implicit
differentiation of the equation x2
+ y2
+ z2
= l, we get 2x + 2z(dzldx) =0. Hence, at the point
(, ,V2/2), dzldx= -jc/z = -4/(V2/2)= -1/V2= -V2/2.
PARTIAL DERIVATIVES 379
The plane through (1,1,1) and parallel to the Jtz-plane is y = l. The slope of the tangent line to the
resulting curve is dzldx =6x = 6. The plane through (1,1,1) and parallel to the yz-plane is x = 1. The
slope of the tangent line to the resulting curve is dzldy = 8y =8.
42.29 Find equations of the tangent line at the point (—2,1,5) to the parabola that is the intersection of the surface
z =2x2
- 3y2
andtheplane y-l.
The slope of the tangent line is dzldx = 4x= —8. Hence, a vector in the direction of the tangent line is
(1,0, -8). (This follows from the fact that there is no change in y and, for a change of 1 unit in x, there is a
change of dzldx in z.) Therefore, a system of parametric equations for the tangent line is x = 2 + t, y = 1,
z =5-8t (or,equivalently, we can use the pair of planes y = I and 8x + z = -ll).
42.30 Find equations of the tangent line at the point (—2,1,5) to the hyperbola that is the intersection of the surface
z = 2x2
—3y2
and the plane z = 5.
Think of y as a function of x and z. Then the slope of the tangent line to the curve is dyldx. By implicit
differentiation with respect to x, 0= 4x - dy(dyldx). Hence, at(-2,1,5), 0= -8 - 6(dyldx), dyldx =-.
So, a vector in the direction of the tangent line is (1, - f , 0), and parametric equations for the tangent line are
x=—2+t, y = l— ff, z = 5 (or,equivalently, the pair of planes 4x + 3y = —5 and z = 5).
42.31 Show that the tangent lines of Problems 42.29 and 42.30 both lie in the plane Sx + 6y + z + 5 = 0. [This is the
tangent plane to the surface z = 2x2
- 3y2
at the point (-2,1,5).]
Both lines contain the point (-2,1,5), which lies in the plane ty: 8x +6y + z + 5 = 0, since 8(-2) +
6(1)+ 5+ 5 = 0. A normal vector to the plane is A = (8,6,1). [A is a surface normal at (-2,1,5).] The
tangent line of Problem 42.29 is parallel to the vector B = (l,0, —8), which is perpendicular to A [since
A • B = 8(1)+ 6(0) + l(-8) = 0]. Therefore, that tangent line lies in the plane &. Likewise, the tangent lineof
Problem 42.30 is parallel to the vector C = (l, -j,0), which is perpendicular to A [since A-C = 8(1)+
6(— |) + 1(0) = 0]. Hence, that tangent line also lies in plane 9. (We have assumed here the fact that any line
containing a point of a plane and perpendicular to a normal vector to the plane lies entirely in the plane.)
42.32 The plane y —3 intersects the surface z = 2x2
+ y2
in a curve. Find equations of the tangent line to this
curve at the point (2,3,17).
The slope of the tangent line is the derivative dzldx = 4x = 8. Hence, a pair of equations for the tangent
line is (z - 17) l(x - 2) = 8, y =3, or, equivalently, z = 8x +1, y = 3.
42.33 The plane x =3 intersects the surface z = x2
l( y2

The slope of the tangent line is Hence, a pair of equations for the tangent
line is (z-9)/(y-2) =-36 and x =3, or, equivalently, z--36y +sl, x = 3. [Another method is
to use the vector (0,1,—36), parallel to the line, to form the parametric equations x =3, y = 2+t,

If (x, v, z) is a point of the normal plane, the vector C = (x —x0,y —y0, z —z0) is orthogonal to the tangent
vector A x B at (xa, y0, z0). Thus, the normal plane is given by

It suffices to show that the tangent planes are perpendicular, or, equivalently, that the normal vectors are
perpendicular. A normal vector to the first surface is A = (2x, 4y, —8z) = (4, 8, —8), and a normal vector to
the second surface is B = (8*, -2y,4z) = (16, -4,4). Since A-B = 4(16) + 8(-4) + (-8)4 = 0, A and B

Directional Derivatives and the
Gradient. Extreme Values
43.1 Given a function/(je, y) and a unit vector u, define the derivative of/in the direction u, at a point (*„, y0), and
state its connection with the gradient Vf = (fx, /v).
The ray in the direction u starting at the point (*0, ya) is (x0, y0) + tu (t > 0). The (directional) derivative, at
(x0, y0), of the function / in the direction u is the rate of change, at (xa, y0), of / along that ray, that is,
— /((*„, y0) + tu), evaluated at t = 0. It is equal to Vf •u, the scalar projection of the gradient on u. (Similar
definitions and results apply for functions / of three or more variables.)
43.2 Show that the direction of the gradient Vfis the direction in which the derivative achieves its maximum, Vf, and
the direction of —Vf is the direction in which the derivative achieves its minimum, — Vf.
The derivative in the direction of a unit vector u is Vf •u = Vf  cos 0, where 6 is the angle between Vf and
u. Since cos 6 takes on its maximum value 1 when 0=0, the maximum value of Vf-v is obtained when u
is the unit vector in the direction of Vf. That maximumvalue is |V/|. Similarly, since cos 0 takes on its minimum
value —1 when 0 = rr, the minimum value of Vf-u is attained when u has the direction of —Vf. That
minimum value is — Vf.

Hence, the deriva-
tive is V/-u = (-2,17)-(V2/2,V2/2) =
u = (cos45°, sin 45°) = (V2/2, V2/2). Vf = (4x -3y, -3x + lOy) = (-2,17) at (1,2).
43.4 Find the derivative of f(x, y) = x —sin xy at (1,77/2) in the direction of u =

The indicated direction is that of the vector (4,5) - (1, 3) = (3, 2). The unit vector in that direction is
u = (l/vT3) (3,2); the gradient Vf=(y2

In view of Problem 43.2, we wish to find a vector v in the tangent plane to the surface at (1,1, 2) such that the
perpendicular projection of v onto the xy-plane is Vz = (-8*, -4y) = (-8, -4). Thus we must have v =
(-8, -4, c); and the component c maybe determined from the orthogonality of v and the surface normal found
in Problem 42.105:
(-8, -4, c)-(-8, -4, -1) = 0 or c = 80
Note that the direction of v is the direction of steepest ascent at (1,1, 2).

DIRECTIONAL DERIVATIVES AND THE GRADIENT 393
43.9 For the surface of Problem 43.8, find the direction of the level curve through (1,1) and show that it is
perpendicular to the direction of steepest grade.

dyldx = -2x/y = -2. Hence, a tangent vector is (1, -2,0). A vector in the direction of steepest
grade is (-8,-4,80), by Problem 43.8. Because (-8,-4, 80)•(!,-2,0) = 0, the twodirections are perpen-
dicular.
43.10 Show that the sum of the squares of the directional derivatives of z =/(*, y) at any point is constant for any
two mutuallyperpendicular directions and is equal to the square of the gradient.
This is simply the Pythagorean theorem: If u and v are mutuallyperpendicular unit vectors in the plane, then
Problem 33.4 shows that Vf=(Vf-u)u + (Vf-v)v. A direct computation of Vf'Vf then gives |V/|2

(Vf-u)2 + (Vf-v)2.

43.14 Prove that the gradient VFof a function F(x, y, z) at a point P(x0, y0, z0) isperpendicular to the level surface of F

Let F(x0, y0, z0) = k. Then the level surface through P is F(x, y, z) = k. By Problem 42.109, anormal

43.22 If z =f(x, y) has a relative maximum or minimum at a point (x0, y0), show that Vz = 0 at (x0, y0).
We wish to show that both partial derivatives of z vanish at (xg, ya). The plane y = y0 intersects the
surface z=f(x, y) in a curve z=f(x, y0) that has a relative maximum (or minimum) at x = xa. Hence,
dz/dx =Q at (x0, ya). Similarly, the plane x - x0 intersects the surface z =f(x, y) in a curve z =

fy = 120 - * - 2y. Set f,=fy=Q and solve: 120 - 2x - y = 0, 240 - 2x - 4y = 0. Hence, 120 - 3y = 0,
y = 40, x = 40. Thus, the division is into three equal parts. Note that fxy = -l, fxjt = -2, fyy = -2, A = 4-
1 = 3> 0, and /„ + fyy = -4 > 0. Hence, the critical point (40, 40) yields a relative maximum/(40, 40)=
4800. To see that this is an absolute maximum, observe that the continuous function f(x, y) must have an
absolute maximum on the closed triangle in the first quadrant bounded above by the line x + y = 120 (Fig.
43-2). The only possibility for an absolute maximuminside the triangle occurs at a critical point, and (40,40) is
the only such point. Consider the boundary of the triangle. On the lower leg,where y = 0, f(x, 0) =

, with 0<*<120. The critical number of this function turns out to be 60. /(60, 0) =
3600 < 4800 = /(40,40). The endpoints * = 0 and * = 120 yield 0 as the value of/. Similarly,the other
leg of the triangle,where * = 0, gives values of/less than/(40, 40). Lastly, on the hypotenuseof the triangle,
where * + y = 120, /(*, y) = *y = *(120 —*), with 0^*sl20, and the same analysis as above shows
that the values of / are less than /(40,40). Hence, (40, 40) actually does give an absolute maximum. Another

g(x0, y0) = 0 and / has an extreme value at (*„, y0) relative to all nearby points that satisfy the "constraint"
g(x,y) =0, and if Vg(*0, y0)^Q, then V/(x0, y0) = A Vg(x0, y0) for some constant A(called a Lagrange
multiplier). Thus, the points at which extrema occur will be found among the common solutions of g(x, y) =0

45.1 For the space curve R(t) = (t, t, t ), find a tangent vector and the tangent line at the point (1,1, 1).
A tangent vector is given by the derivative R'(t) = (l,2t,3t ). At (1,1,1), <=1. Hence, a tangent
vector is (1, 2, 3). Parametric equations for the tangent line are x = 1+ w, y = 1+ 2a, z = 1+ 3w. As a

45.3 Find the normal plane to the curve of Problem 45.1 at t = .
The tangent vector at t = l is (1,2,3). That vector is perpendicular to the normal plane. Since the
normal plane contains the point (1,1,1), its equation is (x - 1)+ 2(y - 1)+ 3(z - 1)= 0, or equivalently,
x + 2y + 3z = 6.
45.4 Find a tangent vector, the tangent line, the speed, and the normal plane to the helical curve R(t) =

A tangent vector is R'(Q = (-2ira sin 2irt, 2-rra cos 2irt, b) = (0, 2-rra, b). The tangent line is (a,0, b) +
u(0, 2TTd, b). The speed is R'(0l = V4?rV + b2

By Problem 45.11, [R(0 x R'(01 -[R(f) x R"(t)l + [R'(f) x R'(f)l. But A x A = 0 for all A.
Hence, the term R'(/) x R'(/) vanishes.
If G'(0 is perpendicular to G(f) for all t, show that |G(f)| is constant, that is, the point G(t) lies on the surface of£

Since G'(0 is perpendicular to G(r), G'(f) •G(t) = 0. Then
G'(0 ' G(f) = 0 + 0 = 0. Therefore, |G(r)|2

R(0^0 and R'(r)^0, R(t) 1 R'(0 at t =ta.
Assume that R(f) ^ 0 and R'(f)-^0 for all t. If the endpoints of R(f) is closest to the origin at t = t0,
show that the position vector R(t) is perpendicular to the velocity vector R'(0 at f = t0. [Recall that, when t is
the time, R'(') is called the velocity vector.)
Let |G(/)| = c for all t. Then G(t)-G(t) = |G(f)|2

So
G(0-G'(0 + G'(0'G(r) = 0. Thus, 2G(r)-G'(0 =0, and, therefore, G(f)-G'(f) = 0.

The osculating plane is the plane determined by T and N; hence, the binormal vector B = T x N is a normal

Since T is parallel to R' and N is parallel to T', a normal
vector to the osculating plane isgiven by (0, 2,4) x (-5, 2, -1) = (-10, -20,10) = -10(1, 2, -1). Therefore,
an equation of the osculating plane at (1,1, 3) is (x - 1)+ 2(y —1) - (z - 3) = 0, or equivalently, x +2y —

45.22 Prove the following formula for the curvature:
Find the curvature of R = (e1
sin /, e' cos t, e') at t = 0.
R = e'(sin r, cos t, 1). Hence, R' = e'(cos t, -sin f, 0) + e'(sin t, cos /, 1) = e'(cos t +sin t, cos t -
sint, 1); R"=e'(2cost, -2sin/,l). At t =0, R'= (1,1,1) and R" = (2,0,1). Hence, R'x R"= (1,1,-2),
|R'xR"| = V6, and |R'| = V3. By Problem 45.22,
K|R'|3
(T x N) = fo|RT(T x N). Since |T x N| = 1, it follows that |R' x R"| = K|RT.
Therefore,
Note that
Hence, Hence,
45.21 Find the curvature K of the curve R(t) - (sin f, cos /, at t = 0.
First, R' = (cos f, -sin t, t), and
Hence, and
and
therefore,
The osculating plane is the plane determined by T and N. Let D = R' x R". Now, Hence,
Since D •R' = 0 and D •R" = 0, it follows that D •T' = 0. Thus, D is per-
pendicular to R' and to T', and, therefore, to T and to N. Hence, D is a normal vector to the osculating plane.
Find an equation of the osculating plane of the curve R(f) = (3>t2
,1 - t, t3
) at (12, —1, 8) corresponding to
f = 2.
R'(0 = (6f, -I,3f2
) = (12, -1,12), and R"(r) = (6,0,60 = (6,0,12). Hence, R' x R" = (12, -1,12) x
(6, 0,12) = (-12, -72,72) = -12(1, 6, -6). By Problem 45.19, -12(1, 6, -6), or more simply (1, 6, -6), is a
normal vector to the osculating plane. Hence, an equation of that plane is x —12 + 6(y + 1) —6(z —8) = 0,
or equivalently, x + 6y —6z + 42 = 0.

y' = A(e* cos2x - 2e* sin2x) + B(e* sin2x +2e* cos2x) = (A +2B)e" cos2x +(B - 2A)e* sin2x, and v" =
(45 - 3A)e* cos 2x - (3B + 4A)e" sin 2x. Thus, e* cos 2x = (4B - 3A)e' cos 2x - (3B + 4A)e* sin 2x +
9(Ae" cos2x + Be" sin 2*). Equating coefficients of e*cos2x and e*sin2x, we get 4B — 3A + 9A =1
and -(3,8 + 4,4)+ 98 = 0, which, when simplified, become 48+6/1 = 1 and 68-4,4 = 0. Solving

  • 6. To the Student This collection of solved problems covers elementary and intermediate calculus, and much of advanced calculus. We have aimed at presenting the broadest range of problems that you are likely to encounter—the old chestnuts, all the current standard types, and some not so standard. Each chapter begins with very elementary problems. Their difficulty usually increases as the chapter pro- gresses, but there is no uniform pattern. It is assumed that you have available a calculus textbook, including tables for the trigonometric, logarith- mic, and exponential functions. Our ordering of the chapters follows the customary order found in many textbooks, but as no two textbooks have exactly the same sequence of topics, you must expect an occasional discrepancy from the order followed in your course. The printed solution that immediately follows a problem statement gives you all the details of one way to solve the problem. You might wish to delay consulting that solution until you have outlined an attack in your own mind. You might even disdain to read it until, with pencil and paper, you have solved the problem yourself (or failed gloriously). Used thus, 3000 Solved Problems in Calculus can almost serve as a supple- ment to any course in calculus, or even as an independent refresher course. V
  • 8. HAPTER 1 nequalities Solve 3+ 2*<7. Answer x<2 [Divide both sides by 2. This is equivalent to multiplying by 5.] In interval notation, the solution is the set (—°°, 2). Solve 5- 3* < 5x+ 2. Answer 1 <x [Divide both sides by 8.] In interval notation, the solution is the set (|,°°). Solve -7<2x + 5<9. Answer —6 < x < 2 [Divide by 2.] In interval notation, the solution is the set (—6,2). Solve 3<4x-l<5. Answer 1 s x < [Divide by 4.] In interval notation, the solution is the set [1, |). Solve 4<-2x + 5<7. Answer >*>-! [Divide by -2. Since -2 is negative, we must reverse the inequalities.] In interval notation, the solution is the set [-1, |). Solve 5< x. +1 s 6. Answer 12<^sl5 [Multiplyby 3.] In interval notation, the solution is the set [12,15]. Solve 2/jc<3. Case 2. x<0. 2/x<3. 2>3x [Multiply by jr. Reverse the inequality.], |>jc [Divide by 3.] Notice that this condition |>x is satisfied whenever jc<0. Hence, in the case where x<0, the inequality is satisfied by all such x. Answer f < x or x < 0. As shown in Fig. 1-1, the solution is the union of the intervals (1,«) and (—°°, 0). Solve negative. Case 1. x-3>0 [This is equivalent to x>3.] Multiplying the given inequality (1) by the positive quantity x-3 preserves the inequality: *+ 4<2;t-6, 4 < x - 6 [Subtract jr.], 10<x[Add 6.] Thus, when x>3, the given inequality holds when and only when x>10. Case 2. x-3<0 [This is equivalent to x<3]. Multiplying the given inequality (1) by the negative quantity x —3 reverses the inequality: *+ 4>2*-6, 4>x-6 [Subtract*.], 10>x [Add6.] Thus, when x<3, the inequality 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 Fig. 1-1 2x < 4 [Subtract 3 from both sides.

Recall that thepoint-slope equation ofthelinethrough point (x1, y^) and with slope m is y —yt = tn(x —*,). Hence, one point-slope equation of the given line, using the point (1, 3), is y —3= (x —1). Answer Another point-slope equation, using the point (3,6), is y - 6 = (x —3). Answer Write a point-slope equation of the line through the points (1,2) and (1,3). The line through (1,2) and (1,3) is vertical and, therefore, does not have a slope. Thus, there is no point-slope equation of the line. Find a point-slope equation of the line going through the point (1,3) with slope 5. y -3 = 5(* - 1). Answer Find the slope of the line having the equation y - 7 = 2(x - 3) and find a point on the line. y —7 = 2(x - 3) is a point-slope equation of the line. Hence, the slope m = 2, and (3, 7) is a point on the line. Find the slope-intercept equation of the line through the points (2,4) and (4,8). Remember that the slope-intercept equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (that is, the v-coordinate of the point where the line cuts the y-axis). In this case, the slope m = (8-4)7(4-2) = | = 2 . Method 1. A point-slope equation of the line is y-8 = 2(* — 4). This is equivalent to y-8 = 2* — 8, or, finally, to y = 2x. Answer Method 2. The slope-intercept equation has the form y = 2x + b. Since (2,4) lies on the line, we may substitute 2 for x and 4 for y. So, 4 = 2 - 2 + 6 , and, therefore, b = 0. Hence, the equation is y = 2x. Answer Find the slope-intercept equation of the line through the points (—1,6) and (2,15). The slope m = (15 -6)/[2- (-1)] = 1 = 3. Hence, the slope-intercept equation looks like y=3x+b. Since (-1, 6) is on the line, 6 = 3 •(— ) + b, and therefore, b = 9. Hence, the slope-intercept equation is y = 3x +9. Find the slope-intercept equation of the line through (2, —6) and the origin. The origin hascoordinates (0,0). So,theslope m =(-6 - 0) 1(2 - 0) = -1 = -3. Since theline cutsthe y-axis at (0, 0), the y-intercept b is 0. Hence, the slope-intercept equation is y = -3x. Find the slope-intercept equation of the line through (2,5) and (—1, 5). The line is horizontal. Since it passes through (2,5), an equation for it is y=5. But, this is the slope-intercept equation, since the slope m = 0 and the y-intercept b is 5. 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 9 Hence, the slope of the given line is Find the slope of the line through the points (—2, 5) and (7,1). Remember that the slope m of the line through two points (xlt yj and (x2, y2) is given by the equation
  • 17. CHAPTER 3 Find the slope and y-intercept of the line given by the equation 7x + 4y = 8. If we solve the equation Ix + 4y = 8 for y, we obtain the equation y = —x +2, which is the slope-intercept equation. Hence, the slope m = —I and the y-intercept b = 2. Show that every line has an equation of the form Ax + By = C, where A and B are not both 0, and that, conversely, every such equation is the equation of a line. If a given line is vertical, it has an equation x = C. In this case, we can let A = 1 and B = 0. If the given line is not vertical, it has a slope-intercept equation y = mx + b, or, equivalently, — mx + y = b. So, let A — — m, 5 = 1, and C = b. Conversely, assume that we are given an equation Ax + By = C, with A and B not both 0. If B = 0, the equation is equivalent to x= CIA, which is the equation of a vertical line. If B ^ 0, solve the equation for y: with slope Find an equation of the line L through (-1,4) and parallel to the line M with the equation 3x + 4y = 2. Remember that two lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal. If we solve 3x + 4y = 2 for y, namely, y= — f * + i, we obtain the slope-intercept equation forM. Hence, the slope ofMis —|and, therefore, the slope of the parallel line L also is -|. So, L has a slope-intercept equation of the form y=-x + b. Since L goes through (-1,4), 4= - • (-1) + b, and, therefore, fc=4-i="- Thus, the equation of L is y = - x + T • Show that the lines parallel to a line Ax + By = C are those lines havingequations of the form Ax + By = E for some E. (Assume that B =£ 0.) If we solve Ax + By = C for y, we obtain the slope-intercept equation -A/B. Given a parallel line, it must also have slope —A/B and,therefore, has a slope-intercept equation equation Ax + By = E must have slope -A/B (obtained by putting the equation in slope-intercept form) and is, therefore, parallel to the line with equation Ax + By = C. Find an equation of the line through (2, 3) and parallel to the line with the equation 4x —2y = 7. By Problem 3.13, the required line must have an equation of the form 4x - 2y = E. Since (2, 3) lies on the line, 4(2)- 2(3)= E. So, £ = 8-6 = 2. Hence, the desired equation is 4x - 2y = 2. Find an equation of the line through (2,3) and parallel to the line with the equation y = 5. Since y =5 is the equation of a horizontal line, the required parallel line is horizontal. Since it passes through (2, 3), an equation for it is y = 3. Show that any line that is neither vertical nor horizontal and does not pass through the origin has an equation of the form In Problem 3.11,set CIA = a and CIB = b. Notice that, when y = 0, the equation yields the value x = a, and, therefore, a is the x-intercept of the line. Similarly for the y-intercept.

  • 18. Find an equation of the line through the points (0,2) and (3,0). The y-intercept is b = 2 and the ^-intercept is a = 3. So, by Problem 3.16, an equation of the line is If the point (2, k) lies on the line with slope m = 3 passing through the point (1, 6), find k. A point-slope equation of the line is y —6 = 3(x —1). Since (2, k) lies on the line, k —6 = 3(2-1). Hence, k =9. Does the point (-1, -2) lie on the line L through the points (4,7) and (5,9)? The slope of L is (9- 7)7(5 - 4) = 2. Hence, a point-slope equation of L is y-7 =2(x- 4). Ifwe substitute —1 for x and -2 for y in this equation, we obtain —2 —7 = 2(-l —4), or —9 = -10, which is false. Hence, (—1, —2) does not lie on L. Find the slope-intercept equation of the line M through (1,4) that is perpendicular to the line L with equation 2x - 6y = 5. Solve 2x - 6y =5 fory, obtaining y = x — f. So, the slope of L isj. Recall that twolines with slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular if and only if w,w2 = —1, or, equivalently, m, = —1 Im2. Hence, the slope of M is the negative reciprocal of 3, that is, -3. The slope-intercept equation of M has the form y = -3x + b. Since (1,4) is on M, 4 = — 3 - 1 + fe. Hence, b =7, and the required equation is y = -3x + 1. Show that, if a line L has the equation Ax + By - C, then a line M perpendicular to L has an equation of the form - Bx+Ay = E. Assume first that L is not a vertical line. Hence, B ^ 0. So, Ax + By —C is equivalent to y = slope-intercept equation has the form -Bx + Ay = Ab. In this case, E = Ab. (In the special case when A =0, L is horizontal and M isvertical. Then M has an equation x = a, which is equivalent to -Bx = -Ba. Here, E = -Ba and A - 0.) If L is vertical (in which case, B = 0), M is horizontal and has an equation of the form y = b, which is equivalent to Ay = Ab. In this case, E = Ab and B = 0. Find an equation of the line through the point (2, -3) and perpendicular to the line 4x - 5y =7. The required equation has the form 5* + 4>' = E (seeProblem 3.21). Since (2,—3) lies on the line, 5(2) + 4(-3) = E. Hence, E=~2, and the desired equation is 5x + 4y=-2. Show that two lines, L with equation A1x + Bly=C1 and Mwith equation Azx + B2y = C2, are parallel if and only if their coefficients of x and y are proportional, that is, there is a nonzero number r such that A2 = rA, and B2 = rBl. Assume that A2 = rAl and B2 = rBl, with r^O. Then the equation of M is rAtx + rBty = C2, which is equivalent to A^x + B,}> = - •C2. Then, by Problem 3.13, Mis parallel to L. Conversely, assume M is parallel to L. By solving the equations of L and M for y, we see that the slope of L is — (A ,/B,) and the slope of M is ~(A2/B2). Since M and L are parallel, their slopes are equal: nr (In the special case where the lines are vertical, Bl = B2 =0, and we can set r = A2/A,.) Determine whether the lines 3x + 6y = 7 and 2x +4y = 5 are parallel. The coefficients of x and y are proportional: § = g. Hence, by Problem 3.23,the lines are parallel.

  • 19. Use slopes to determine whether the points A(4,1), 5(7, 3), and C(3,9) are the vertices of a right triangle. The slope m1 of line AB is (3- l)/(7-4) = f. Theslope w2 of line BCis (9 -3)/(3 -7) = -f = -|. Since m2 is the negative reciprocal of m}, the lines AB and BC are perpendicular. Hence, AABC has a right angle at B. Determine k so that the points A(7,5), B(-l, 2), and C(k, 0) are the vertices of a right triangle with right angle at B. The slope of line AB is (5-2)/[7-(-1)] = §. The slope of line BC is (2-0)/(-l - *) = -2/(l + it). The condition for AABC to have a right angle at B is that lines AB and BC are perpendicular, which holds when and only when the product of their slopes is —1, that is (|)[—2/(l + k)] = —I. This is equivalent to 6 = 8(1 + *), or 8* = -2, or k=-. Find the slope-intercept equation of the line through (1,4) and rising 5 units for each unit increase in x. Since the line rises 5 units for each unit increase in x, its slope must be 5. Hence, its slope-intercept equation has the form y = 5x + b. Since (1,4) lies on the line, 4 = 5(l) + b. So, b = —1. Thus, the equation is y =5x-l. Use slopes to show that the points A(5, 4), B(-4, 2), C(-3, -3), and D(6,-1) are vertices of a parallelogram. The slope of ABis (4-2)/[5 - (-4)] =| andtheslope of CD is [-3 -(-l)]/(-3 -j6) =|; hence, AB andCDareparallel. The slope ofBC is (-3 - 2)/[-3 - (-4)] = -5 andtheslope ofADis (-1 - 4)/ (6 —5) = -5, and,therefore, BC and AD are parallel. Thus, ABCD is a parallelogram. For what value of k will the line kx + 5y = 2k have ^-intercept 4? When *= 0, y =4. Hence, 5(4) = 2*. So, k = 10. For what value of k will the line kx +5y - 2k have slope 3? Solve for y: A: =-15. For what value of k will the line kx + 5y = 2k be perpendicular to the line 2x —3_y = 1? By the solution to Problem 3.30, the slope of kx + 5y = 2k is —k/5. By solving for y, the slope of 2x —3y —1 is found to be |. For perpendicularity, the product of the slopes must be —1. Hence, (~fc/5)-i = -1. So, 2k= 15, and,therefore, k=%. Find the midpoint of the line segment between (2, 5) and (—1, 3). By the midpoint formula, the coordinates of the midpoint are the averages of the coordinates of the endpoints. In this case, the midpoint (x, y) is given by ([2 + (-l)]/2, (5 + 3)/2) = (|, 4). A triangle has vertices A(l,2), B(8,1), C(2,3). Find the equation of the median from A to the midpoint M of the opposite side. The midpoint M of segment BC is ((8 + 2)/2, (1 + 3)/2) = (5,2). So, AM is horizontal, with equation y = 2. For the triangle of Problem 3.33, find an equation of the altitude from B to the opposite side AC. The slope of AC is (3 - 2)/(2 —1) = 1. Hence, the slope of the altitude is the negative reciprocal of 1, namely, —1. Thus, its slope-intercept equation has the form y = —x + b. Since B(8,1) is on the altitude, 1 = -8 + b, and, so, b = 9. Hence, the equation is y = -x +9. CHAPTER 3 12 3.25 3.26 3.27 3.28 3.29 3.30 3.31 3.32 3.33 3.34 This is the slope-intercept equation. Hence, the slope m = —k/5 = 3. So,

Hence, the slope of the desired line is the negative reciprocal of -7, that is, 7. Thus, the slope-intercept equation of theperpendicular bisector has theform y = lx + b. Since (9/2,3/2) lies on theline, | = 7(|) + b. So, fe = i - f = -30. Thus, thedesired equation is y = Ix -30. If a line L has the equation 3x + 2y = 4, prove that a point P(.x, y) is above L if and only if 3x + 2y > 4. Solving for y, we obtain the equation y=—x +2. For anyfixedx, the vertical line with that x-coordinate cuts the line at the point Q where the y-coordinate is —x + 2 (seeFig.3-2). The points along that vertical line and above Q have y-coordinates y>— x +2. This is equivalent to 2y>-3* + 4, and thence to 3* + 2y> 4. Fig. 3-2 Generalize Problem 3.36to the case of any line Ax + By = C (B^ 0). Case 1. B > 0. As in the solution of Problem 3.36, a point P(x,y) is above this line if and only if Ax + By>C. Case 2. B < 0. Then a procedure similar to that in the solution of Problem 3.36 shows that a point P(x,y) is above this line if and only if Ax + By <C. Use two inequalities to describe the set of all points above the line L: 4x +3y = 9 and below the line M: 2x + y = 1. By Problem 3.37, to be above L, we must have 4* + 3y>9. To be below M, we must have 2x + y<l. Describe geometrically the family of lines y = mx + 2. The set of all nonvertical lines through (0,2). Describe geometrically the family of lines y = 3x + b. The family of mutually parallel lines of slope 3. Prove by use of coordinates that the altitudes of any triangle meet at a common point. Given AABC, choose the coordinate system so that A and B lie on the x-axis and C lies on the y-axis (Fig. 3-3). Let the coordinates of A, B, and C be («, 0), (v, 0), and (0, w). ^(i) The altitude from C to AB is the y-axis. («') The slope of BC is — w/v. So, the altitude from A to BC has slope vlw. Its slope-intercept equation has the form y = (v/w)x + b. Since (M,0) lies on the line, 0 = (v/w)(u) + b; hence, itsy-intercept b = — vu/w^ Thus, this altitude intersects the altitude from C (the y-axis) at the point (0, -vulw). (Hi) The slope of AC is —w/u. So, the altitude from B to AC has slope ulw, and its slope-intercept equation is y = (ulw)x + b. Since (v, 0) lies on the altitude, 0 = (u/w)(v) + b, and its y-intercept b = —uv/w. Thus, this altitude also goes through the point (0, — vulw). LINES 13 3.35 3.36 3.37 3.38 3.39 3.40 3.41

Let A be the origin and let B be on the *-axis, with coordinates (v, 0). Let Cbe (c, e)and let D be (d, f). The midpoint M, of AB has coordinates (v/2,0), the midpoint_M2 of 1C is ((c + v)/2, e/2), the midpoint M3 of CD is ((c + d)/2, (e +/)/2), and the midpoint M4 of ~AD is (d/2, f/2). Slope of line Thus, MtM2 and M3M4 are parallel. Similarly, the slopes of M2M3 and MjM4 both turn out to be//(d —u), and therefore M2M3 and M,M4 are parallel. Thus, M1M2M3M4 is a parallelogram. (Note two special cases. When c = 0, both MjM2 and M3M4 are vertical and, therefore, parallel. When d=v, both MjM4 and M2M3 are vertical and, therefore, parallel.) 3.43 Using coordinates, prove that, if the medians AMl and BM2 of lABC are equal, then CA = CB. I Choose the jc-axis so that it goes through A and B and let the origin be halfway between A and B. Let A be (a, 0). Then B is (-a, 0). Let C be (c, d). Then Aft is ((c - a)/2, d/2) and M2 is ((c + a) 12, d/2). By the distance formula, Setting AM1 = BM2 and squaring both sides, we obtain [(3a r c)/2]2 + (d/2)2 = [(3a + c)/2]2 + (d/2)2, and, simplifying, (3a - c)2 = (3c + c)2 . So, (3a+ c)2 - (3a - c)2 = 0, and, factoring the left-hand side, t(3a + c) + (3a - c)] • [(3a + c) -(3a - c)] = 0, that is, (6a) • (2c) = 0. Since a 5^0, c = 0.

Find equations ofthelines ofslope —| that form with the coordinate axes a triangle ofarea 24 square units. The slope-intercept equations have the form y = - x + b. When y =0, x = 56. So, thex-intercept a is 56. Hence, the area of the triangle is ab = (%b)b = b2 = 24. So, fo2 = 36, b = ±6, and the desired equations are y=-x± 6; that is, 3* + 4y = 24 and 3x +4y = -24. A point (x, y) moves so that its distance from the line x = 5 is twice as great as its distance from the line y = 8. Find an equation of the path of the point. The distance of (x, y) from x =5 is |jc-5|, and its distance from y = 8 is |y-8|. Hence, |x-5|=2|y-8|. So, x - 5=±2(y - 8). ' There are two cases: x- 5 =2(^-8) and x-5=-2(y-8), yielding the lines x-2y = -ll and *+ 2>> = 21. A single equation for the path of the point would be (x-2y +ll)(x +2y-2l) =0.

A point-slope equation of a line through (4, —2) with slope m is y + 2 = m(x —4) or mx —y —(4m + 2) =0. The distance of (0, 0) from this line is |4m + 2| A/m2 + 1. Hence, |4m + 2| /V'm2 + 1= 2. So, (4/n + 2)2 = 4(w2 + l), or (2m +1)2 = m2 +1. Simplifying, w(3m + 4) = 0, and, therefore, m = 0 or OT = - 5. Therequired equations arey =-2 and 4x +3y - 10 =0.

Then x(x - 3)= 4, x2 - 3x - 4=0, (x-4)(x + l) = 0, x =4 or x = -l. When .v = 4, y = 1, and when .v=-l, y = -4. Hence, the intersection consists of the points (4,1) and (-1, -4). Let x represent the number of million pounds of chicken that farmers offer for sale per week, and let y represent the number of dollars per pound that consumers are willing to pay for chicken. Assume that the supply equation for chicken is y = 0.02* + 0.25, that is, 0.02* + 0.25 is the price per pound at which farmers are willing to sell x million pounds. Assume also that the demand equation for chicken is y = -0.025* + 2.5, that is, -0.025* + 2.5 is the price per pound at which consumers are willing to buy x million pounds per week. Find the intersection of the graphs of the supply and demand equations. Set 0.02* + 0.25 =-0.025* + 2.5, 0.045^ = 2.25, .v = 2.25/0.045 = 2250/45 = 50 million pounds. Then y = 1.25 dollars per pound is the price. Find the coordinates of the point on the line y - 2x + 1 that is equidistant from (0,0) and (5,-2). Setting the distances from (x, y) to (0,0) and (5, -2) equal and squaring, we obtain x2 + y2 = (x - 5)2 + (y + 2)2 , *2 +y2 = jt2 -Kb: + 25+ y2 + 4>>+4, 10*-4y = 29. Substituting 2x + 1 for y in the last equa- tion we obtain 10*-4(2* + l) = 29, 2* = 33, , r = ¥ . Then y = 34. So, the desired point is ( f , 34). 18 CHAPTER 3 3.77 Fig. 3-7 3.78 3.79 3.80 3.81 3.82 3.83

CHAPTER 4 Circles 4.1 Write the standard equation for a circle with center at (a, b) and radius r. y the distance formula, a point (x, y) is on the circle if and only if both sides, we obtain the standard equation: (x —a)2 + (y —b)2 = r2 . 4.2 Write the standard equation for the circle with center (3,5) and radius 4. 4.3 Write the standard equation for the circle with center (4, -2) and radius 7. 4.4 Write the standard equation for the circle with center at the origin and radius r. 4.5 Find the standard equation of the circle with center at (1, -2) and passing through the point (7, 4). The radius of the circle is the distance between (1, -2) and (7, 4): V72. Thus, the standard equation is: (x - I)2 + (y + 2)2 =72. Identify the graph of the equation x2 +y2 - I2x +20y + 15= 0. Complete the square in x and in y: (x - 6)2 + (y + 10)2 + 15 = 36+ 100. [Here the-6 in (x - 6) ishalf of the coefficient, -12, of x in the original equation, and the + 10in (_y + 10) is half of the coefficient 20, of y. The 36 and 100 on the right balance the squares of -6 and +10 that have in effect been added on the left.] Simplifying, we obtain (x - 6)2 + (y + 10)2 = 121, the standard equation of a circle with center at (6, -10) and radius 11. Identify the graph of the equation x2 + y2 + 3x —2y + 4 = 0. Complete the square (as in Problem 4.6): (jc + |)2 + (y - I)2 + 4 = j + 1. Simplifying, we obtain (x + 1 )2 + (y - I)2 = ~ 1. But this equation has no solutions, since the left side is always nonnegative. In other words, the graph is the emptyset. Identify the graph of the equation x2 +y2 +2x - 2y +2 = 0. Complete the square: (x + I)2 +(y - I)2 + 2 = 1+ 1, which simplifies to (x + I)2 + (y - I)2 = 0. This is satisfied when and only when *+ l = 0 and y — 1 = 0 , that is, for the point (—1,1). Hence, the graph is a single point. Show that any circle has an equation of the form x2 + y2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0. Consider the standard equation (x - a)2 +(y - b)2 = r2 .

  • 27. 20 Find the center and radius of the circle passing through the points (3, 8), (9,6), and (13, -2). By Problem 4.9, the circle has an equation x2 + y2 + Dx + Ey + F =0. Substituting the values (x, y) at each of the three given points, we obtain three equations: 3D + 8E + F= -73, 9D + 6E + F= -117, 13D - 2E + F = —173. First, we eliminate F (subtracting the second equation from the first, and subtracting the third equation from the first): -10D + 10E =100 or, more simply -3D+ £ = 22 -D +E = W Subtracting the second equation from the first, -2D = 12, or D = -6. So, E = 10+ D = 4, and F = -73-3Z)-8£ = -87. Hence, we obtain x2 +y2 -6x +4y - 87 = 0. Complete the square: (x - 3)2 + (y +2)2 -87 = 9 + 4, or, (x - 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 100. Hence, the center is (3,-2) and the radius is VT50 = 10. Answer Use a geometrical/coordinate method to find the standard equation of the circle passing through the points A(0, 6), B(12,2), and C(16, -2). Find the perpendicular bisector of AB. The slope of AB is - j and therefore the slope of the perpendicular bisector is3. Since it passes through the midpoint (6, 4) of AB, a point-slope equation for it is y - 4 = 3(,x —6), or, equivalently, y = 3x —14. Now find the perpendicular bisector of BC. A similar calculation yields y = x - 14. Since the perpendicular bisector of a chord of a circle passes through the center of the circle, the center of the circle will be the intersection point of y = 3x - 14 and y = x —14. Setting 3x - 14= x — 14, we find x = 0. So, y = x - 14= —14. Thus, the center is (0,—14). The radius is the distance between the center (0,-14) and any point on the circle, say (0,6): V(° ~ °)2 + (-14 - 6)2 = V400 = 20. Hence, the standard equation is x2 + (y + 14)2 = 400. Find the graph of the equation 2x2 + 2y2 —x = 0. This is the First divide by 2: x2 +y2 - x = 0, and then complete the square: (x - )2 +y2 = . standard equation of the circle with center (?, 0) and radius . For what value(s) of k does the circle (x - k)2 +(y - 2k)2 = 10 pass through the point (1,1)? (1 - k)2 + (1 -2&)2 = 10. Squaring out andsimplifying, weobtain 5A:2 - 6fc - 8= 0. Theleft side factors into (5Jt+ 4)()t-2). Hence, the solutions are & = -4/5 and k = 2.

Hence, a = l or a —I, and b = 3 or b = 9. Thus, there are four circles. Fig. 4-1 4.16 Determine the value of k so that x2 + y2 —8x + lOy + k = 0 is the equation of a circle of radius 7. Complete the square: (x - 4)2 + (y +5)2 + k = 16 + 25. Thus, (x - 4)2 + (y + 5)2 = 41 - k. So, Find the standard equation of the circle which has as a diameter the segment joining the points (5, -1) and (-3, 7). The center is the midpoint (1, 3) of the given segment. The radius is the distance between (1, 3) and 4.11 4.12 4.13 4.14 4.15 4.17 -6D+2E=44 Hence, the equation is Squaring, 41-A: = 49, and, therefore, k=-8. (5,-1): (x-1)2+(y-3)2=32. CHAPTER 4
  • 28. CIRCLES Find the standard equation of a circle with radius 13that passes through the origin, and whose center has abscissa -12. Let the center be (-12, ft). The distance formula yields 144+ft2 = 169, b2 =25, and b = ±5. Hence, there are twocircles, with equations (x + 12)2 + (y - 5)2 = 169 and (jc + 12)2 + (y + 5)2 =169. Find the standard equation of the circle with center at (1, 3) and tangent to the line 5x - I2y -8 = 0. 4.20 4.21 The radius is the perpendicular distance from the center (1,3) to the line: standard equation is (x - I)2 + (y - 3)2 = 9. Find the standard equation of the circle passing through (-2, 1) andtangent to the line 3x - 2y - 6 at thepoint (4,3). Since the circle passes through (-2, 1) and (4, 3), its center (a, b) is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment connecting those points. The center must also be on the line perpendicular to 3x-2y = 6 at (4, 3). The equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment is found to be 3x + y = 5. The equation of the line perpendicular to 3* - 2y = 6 at (4, 3) turns out to be 2x +3y = 17. Solving 3* + y =5 and 2* + 3.y = 17 simultaneously,we find x = -$ and y = %. Then the radius the required equation is (x + f )2 + (y - ^ )2 = ^. Find a formula for the length / of the tangent from an exterior point P(xl,yl) to the circle (x - a)2 + ( y-b)2 = r2. See Fig. 4-2. Fig. 4-2 4.22 4.23 By the Pythagorean theorem, I2 = (PC)2 - r2. By the distance formula, (PC)2 = (*, - a)2 + (y1 - b)2. Hence, Find the standard equations of the circles passing through the points A(l, 2) and B(3, 4) and tangent to the line 3* + ? =3. Let the center of the circle be C(a,b). Since ~CA = "CE, Since the radius is the perpendicular distance from C to the given line, Expanding and simplifying (1) and (2),we have a + ft = 5 and a2 + 9b2 —6«ft -2a —34ft + 41 =0, whose simultaneous solution yields a =4, ft = 1, and a = | , b=. From r =|3a + ft - 3|/VT(5, we get /• = (12+l-3)/VTO = VTO and r = ( + - 3)/VTO = VlO/2. So,thestandard equations are: (x —4)2 + (y —I)2 = 10 and Find the center and radius of the circle passing through (2,4) and (-1,2) and having its center on the line x - 3y = 8. 4.18 4.19 («-l)2 + (fc-2)2 = (a-3)2 + (fe-4)2 So, the we have So So Answer 21 (1)
  • 29. Let (a, b) be the center. Then the distances from (a, b) to the given points must be equal, and, if we square those distances, weget (a - 2)2 + (b- 4)2 = (a+I)2 f (b- 2)2 , -4a +4- 8b +16 = 2a+1-4b+ 4, 15 = 6a + 4b. Since (a, ft) also is on the line x - 3y =8, we have a - 3b =8. If we multiply this equation by —6 and add the result to 6a + 4fc = 15, we obtain 22ft = -33, b = —|. Then a =1, and the center is ( I , -1). The radius is the distance between the center and (-1, 2): Find the points of intersection (if any) of the circles x2 + (y -4)2 = 10 and (x —8)2 + y2 =50. The circles are x2 +y2 - 8y +6= 0 and x2 - 16* + y2 + 14 = 0. Subtract the second equation from the first: 16*- 8>> - 8= 0, 2x-y -1 =0, y = 2x -1. Substitute this equation for y in the second equation: (x - 8)2 + (2x - I)2 = 50, 5x2 -20* + 15 = 0, *2 -4*+ 3=0, (x - 3)(x - 1) = 0, x =3 or x = 1. Hence, the points of intersection are (3,5) and (1,1). Let x2 +y2 + C^x + D^y + E1 =0 be the equation of a circle ^, and x2 + y2 + C2x + D2y + E2 =0 the equation of a circle < #2 that intersects ^ at two points. Show that, as k varies over all real numbers ^ —1, the equation (x2 +y2 + C^x + D^y + £,) + k(x2 +y2 + C2x + D2y + E2) =0 yields all circles through the inter- section points of <£j and ^2 except ^2 itself. Clearly, the indicated equation yields the equation of a circle that contains the intersection points. Conversely, given a circle <€ ^ <&, that goes through those intersection points, take a point (xa, ya) of "£ that does not lie on ^ and substitute x0 for x and y0 for y in the indicated equation. By choice of (*0, y0) the coefficient of k is nonzero, so we can solve for k. If we then put this value of k in the indicated equation, we obtain an equation of a circle that is satisfied by (x0, y0) and by the intersection points of <£, and <£2. Since three noncollinear points determine a circle, we have an equation for ( €. {Again, it is the choice of (x0, y0) that makes the three points noncollinear; i.e., k¥^ -1.] Find an equation of the circle that contains the point (3,1) and passes through the points of intersection of the two circles x2 +y2 -x-y-2 =Q and x2 +y2 +4x - 4y - 8=0. gProblem4.25,substitute(3,1)for(x,y)intheequation(x2+y2-x-y-2)+k(x2+y2+4x-IUsingProblem4.25,substitute(3,1)for(x,y)intheequation(x2+y2-x-y-2)+k(x2+y2+4x- 4y —8) = 0.

So, the desired equation can be written as Find the equation of the circle containing the point (—2,2) and passing through the points of intersection of the two circles x2 + y2 + 3x- 2y- 4= 0 and x2 + y2 - 2x- y - 6= 0. Using Problem 4.25, substitute (-2, 2)for (x, y) intheequationx2+y2+3x-2y-4)+k(x2+y2-2x- y —6) = 0. Then —6 + 4k = 0, k = . So, the desired equation is 2(*2 +y2 + 3x- 2y- 4)+3(x2 + y2 - 2x- y - 6)=0 Determine the locus of a point that moves so that the sum of the squares of its distances from the lines 5* + 12_y -4 = 0 and 12*- 5y + 10= 0 is 5.

Find the locus of a point the sum of the squares of whose distances from (2, 3) and (-1, -2) is 34. Let (x, y) be the point. Then (x -2)2 + (y -3)2 + (x +I)2 + (y + 2)2 = 34. Simplify: x2 +y2 - x - y - 8= 0, the equation of a circle. Find the locus of a point (x, y) the square of whose distance from (-5,2) is equal to its distance from the line 5x +12y - 26 =0.

The function J(x) of Problem 5.11. J(—x) = —(—x) —x = x x = —J(x), so this is an odd function. fix) =2x+ l. /(I) = 3 and /(-!)=-!. So, f(x) is neither even nor odd. Show that a function f(x) is even if and only if its graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Assume that fix) is even. Let (jc, y) be on the graph of/. We must show that (—x, y) is also on the graph of /. Since (x, y) is on the graph of/, f(x) =y. Hence, since/is even, f(~x)=f(x) =y, and, thus, (—x, y) is on the graph of/.

By assumption, (-x, y) also is on the graph of/. Hence, f(~x) =y. Then, /(-*)=/(*), and fix) is even. Show that/(*) is odd if and only if the graph of/is symmetric with respect to the origin. Assume that fix) is odd. Let (x, y) be on the graph of/. Then fix) = y. Since fix) is odd, fi—x) = —fix) = —y, and, therefore, (—x, -y) is on the graph of /. But, (x, y) and (~x, -y) are symmetric with respect to the origin. Conversely, assume the graph of / is symmetric with respect to the origin. Assume fix) = y. Then, (x, y) is on the graph of/. Hence, by assumption, (—x, -y) is on the graph of/. Thus, fi-x) = —y = -fix), and, therefore, fix) is odd. Show that, if a graph is symmetric with respect to both the x-axis and the y-axis, then it is symmetric with respect to the origin. Assume (x, y) is on the graph. Since the graph is symmetric with respect to the jt-axis, (x, -y) is also on the graph, and, therefore, since the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, (—x, —y) is also on the graph. Thus, the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin. Show that the converse of Problem 5.50 is false. The graph of the odd function fix) =x is symmetric with respect to the origin. However, (1,1) is on the graph but (—1,1) is not; therefore, the graph is not symmetric with respect to the y-axis. It is also not symmetric with respect to the x-axis. If / is an odd function and /(O) is denned, must /(O) = 0? Yes. /(0)=/(-0) = -/(0). Hence, /(0) = 0. If fix) = x2 + kx + 1 for all x and / is an even function, find k. il) =2 +k and /(-l) = 2-fc.

  • 37. Show that any function F(x) that is defined for all x may be expressed as the sum of an even function and an odd function: F(x) = E(x) + O(x). Take E(x)= |[F(*) + F(-x)] and O(x) = [F(x) - F(-x)]. Prove that the representation of F(x) in Problem 5.55 is unique. If F(x) = E(x) + O(x) and F(x) = E*(x) + O*(x), then, by subtraction, 0 = e(x) + o(x) (1) where e(x) =E*(x) - E(x) is even and o(x) = O*(x) - O(x) is odd. Replace x by -x in (1)to obtain 0=e(x)-o(x) (2) But (1) and (2) together imply e(x) = o(x) =0; that is, £*(*) = E(x) and O*(x) = O(x).

Thus, /is one-one. /(*) = Vx for all nonnegative x. Assume f(u)=f(v). Then, Vu =Vv. Square both sides; u = v. Thus,/is one-one. f(x) = x2 for all x. /(-I) = 1=/(!). Hence, /is not one-one. f(x) = - forall nonzero x. f(x) = x for all x. /(—I) = 1=/(I). Hence, /is not one-one. f(x) = [x] for all x. /(O) = 0=/(|). Hence, /is not one-one. f(x) = x3 for all x.

The cross-product terms will cancel in pairs (u times the kth term of the second factor will cancel with -v times the (k - l)st term). Prove algebraically that a real number x has a unique cube root. Suppose there were two cube roots, u and i>, so that u3 = i>3 = x, or u3 - v3 =0. Then, by Problem 5.83, Unless both u and v are zero, the factor in brackets is positive (being a sum of squares); hence the other factor must vanish, giving u = v. If both u and v are zero, then again u = v. If f(x) —(x + 3)(x + k), and the remainder is 16 when f(x) is divided by x ~ 1, find k. f(x) =(x~l)q(x) + 6. Hence, /(I) = 16. But, /(I) = (1 + 3)(1 + k) =4(1 + k). So, l + k = 4, k = 3. If f(x) = (x + 5)(x —k) and the remainder is 28 when f(x) is divided by x —2, find k. f(x) = (x-2)q(x) +2&. Hence, /(2) = 28.

But, (2x-5)-3 =2x-8 =2(x-4). Thus, wemust have |2(x-4)|<e, or, equivalently, |*-4|<e/2. So, it suffices to choose 8 = c/2 (or any positive number smaller than e/2). In an e-S proof of the fact that lim (2'+ 5x) = 17, if we are given some e, what is the largest value of 5 that can be used? 5 must be chosen so that, if |*-3|<S, then (2+5x)-17| <e.

Remember that a vertical asymptote is a vertical line x = c to which the graph gets closer and closer as x approaches c from the right or from the left. Hence, we obtain vertical asymptotes by setting the denominator 3x +2 =0. Thus, the only vertical asymptote is the line x=-.

Since there are irrational numbers arbitrarily close to c, f(x) = 0 for values of x arbitrarily close to c. Hence, if lim f(x) exists, it must be 0. Therefore, if f(x) is to be continuous at c, we must have /(c) = 0. Since there are rational numbers arbitrarilyclose to c, f(x) = x for some points that are arbitrarily close to c.

[Notice that the same method would be difficult to carry out with a function like (2x - 3)20 .] Where does the normal line to the curve y = x —x2 at the point (1,0) intersect the curve a second time? I y' = l~2x. The tangent line at (1,0) has slope 1—2(1) = —!. Hence, the normal line has slope 1, and a point-slope equation for it is y =x-l. Solving y =x - x2 and y =x - 1 simultaneously, x - x2 = x —I, x2 = 1, x = ±1. Hence, the other point of intersection occurs when x = —1. Then y = x —1 = -1 - 1 = -2. So, theother point is(-1,-2). Find the point(s) on the graph of y = x2 at which the tangent line is parallel to the line y —6x —1. I Since the slope of y = 6x —1 is 6, the slope of the tangent line must be 6. Thus, the derivative 2x = 6, x = 3. Hence, the desired point is (3,9). Find the point(s) on the graph of y = x3 at which the tangent line is perpendicular to the line 3x + 9y = 4. I The equation of the line can be rewritten as _y = - j x + 5 , and so its slope is - j. Hence, the slope of the required tangent line must be the negative reciprocal of -1, namely, 3. So, the derivative 3x2 = 3, x2 = 1, x = ±1. Thus, the solutions are (1,1) and (—1, —1). Find the slope-intercept equation of the normal line to the curve y =x3 at the point at which x = |. I The slope of the tangent line is the derivative 3x2 , which, at x = |, is 5. Hence, the slope of the normal line is the negative reciprocal of 5, namely, -3. So, the required equation has the form y = —3x + b. On the curve, when x=, y =x3 = TJ . Thus, the point (|, ^) lies on the line, and j? = -3(3) + fe, 6= if. So, the required equation is y = —3x + ff. At what points does the normal line to the curve y =x2 - 3x +5 at the point (3, 5) intersect the curve? I The derivative 2x —3 has, at x = 3, the value 3. So, the slope of the normal line is - 3, and its equation is y = —3* + b. Since (3, 5) lies on the line, 5 = — 1+ b, or b = 6. Thus, the equation of the normal line is y = —jx + 6. To find the intersections of this line with the curve, we set —jjc + 6 = x2 -3x +5, 3x2 -8x-3 = 0, (3x + l)(x - 3) = 0, x = - or *= 3.

Fig. 8-3 54 8.38 Find the point(s) on the graph of y = x2 at which the tangent line passes through (2, —12). The slope of the tangent line is the derivative 2x. Since (x, x2 ) and (2, -12) lie on the tangent line, its slope is (x2 + 12) l(x - 2). Hence, (x2 + 12) /(x - 2) = 2x, X2 + 12 = 2x2 -4x, x2 - 4* - 12 = 0, (x - 6)(x + 2) = 0, x =6 or x = -2. Thus, the two points are (6,36) and (-2,4). 8.39 Use the A-defmition to calculate the derivative of f(x) = x4 . Find a formula for the derivative Dx[f(x) g(x) h(x)].

Find all points on the graph of/where the tangent line is horizontal. The slope of the tangent line is the derivative f'(x) =9x -22*-15. The tangent line is horizontal when and only when its slope is 0. Hence, weset 9x2 - 22x- 15 = 0, (9*+ 5)(* -3)= 0, x-3 or *=-!. Thus, the desired points are (3,0) and 8.43 Determine the points at which the function f(x) = x - 3| isdifferentiable. The graph (Fig. 8-1), reveals a sharp point at x = 3, y — 0, where there is no unique tangent line. Thus the function is not differentiable at x = 3. (This can be verified in a more rigorous way by considering the A-definition.) Hence Dx[x(2x-1)()(x+2)].

Hence, 1 radian = 180/Tr degrees, and 1 degree = 77/180 radians. So, if an angle has a measure of D degrees and/? radians, then D = (180/7r).R and R = (77/180)D. 10.3 Give the radian measure of angles of 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 135°, 180°, 270°, and 360°. I We use the formula R = (?r/180)D. Hence 30° = 77/6radians, 45°= 77/4radians, 60° = 77/3 radians, 90° = 77/2 radians, 120° = 27T/3 radians, 135° = 377/4 radians, 180° = 77 radians, 270° = 377/2 radians, 360° = 277 radians. 10.4 Give the degree measure of angles of 377/5 radians and 577/6 radians.

I The arc length s, the radius r, and the central angle 6 (measured in radians) are related by the equation s = r6. In this case, r = 10inches and 0 = 77/5.

The slope of the tangent line is the derivative y'. By the chain rule, since sin2 x = (sinx)2 , y'=2(sinx)- and When *= 7r/3, sinx = V5/2 At the point where x = if 13, y = (V5/2)2 = i. So a point-slope equation of the tangent line is y — = and [chain By the identity cos x =sin rule] = sin x •(-1) cos2 x = (cos x)2 . -2 sinx cosx = -sin 2x.

Hence, the slope of the normal line is the negative reciprocal 2A/3. So a point-slope equation of the normal line is y - = (2/V3)(x - IT/3) = (2V3/3)jc - 27rV3/9. 10.24 Derive the formula Remember that tan x = sin AT/COS x and sec x = 1/cos x. By the quotient rule, 10.25 Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve y = tan2 x at the point (7r/3,3). Note that tan (ir/3) = sin(7j-/3)/cos (w/3) = (V3/2)/i = V3, and sec(ir/3) = l/cos(ir/3) = 1/| =2. By the chain rule, / = 2(tanx)- -7- (tan*) = 2(tan*)(sec2 *). Thus, when x = ir/3, y' =2V5-4 = 8V5, so the slope of the tangent line is8V3. Hence, a point-slope equation of the tangent line is y —3 = 8V3(x - ir/3). 10.26 Derive the formula By the identity cotx =tan (IT12 - x) and the chain rule, 10.27 Show that By the chain rule, 10.28 Find an equation of the normal line to the curve y = 3 sec2 x at the point (ir/6,4) 10.29 Find Dx By the chain rule, y' = 3[2 sec x • -r- (sec x)] = 3(2 sec x •sec x •tan x) = 6 sec2 x tan x. So the slope of the tangent line is y' = 6(f)(V3/3) = 8V3/3. Hence, the slope of the normal line is the negative reciprocal -V3/8. Thus, a point-slope equation of the normal line is y - 4 = -(V3/8)(x - 77/6). Recall that D,(csc;c) = -esc x cot x. Hence, by the chain rule, 10.30 Evaluate 10.31 Evaluate Hence,
  • 74. TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS AND THEIR DERIVATIVES 67 Hence, 10.32 Show that the curve y = xsin* is tangent to the line y = x whenever x = (4n + l)(ir/2), where n is any integer. When x =(4n +l)(ir/2)= TT/2 +2irn, sin *= sin ir/2 = 1, cos x =cos ir/2 =0, and xsinx = x. Thus, at such points, the curve y = *sin* intersects y = x. For y = *sinjc, y' = x •Dx(sm x) + sin x- Df(x) = x cosA; + sin x. Thus, at the given points, y' = x •0 + 1= 1. Hence, the slope of the tangent line to the curve y = jcsinx at those points is 1. But the slope of the line y = x is also 1, and, therefore, y = * is the taneent line. 10.33 At what values of x does the graph of y = sec x have a horizontal tangent? I A line is horizontal when and only when its slope is 0. The slope of the tangent line is y' = D^sec x) = sec ;t tan*. Hence, we must solve sec*tan* = 0. Since sec x = 1 /cos x, sec* is never 0. Hence, tan* = 0. But, since tan x =sin*/cos-*, tan* = 0 is equivalent to sin* = 0. The latter occurs when and only when x = nir for some integer n. 10.34 For what values of x are the tangent lines to the graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x perpendicular? I The tangent line to the graph of y = sinx has slope D^(sin x) = cos x, and the tangent line to the graph of >> = cosx has slope D^(cos x) = -sin x. Hence, the condition for perpendicularity is that cos x •(-sin x) = -1, which is equivalent to cos x sin x = 1. Since 2 cos x sin x —sin 2x, this is equivalent to sin 2x =2, which is impossible, because |sin jr| :£ 1 for all x. Hence, there are no values of x which satisfy the property. 10.35 Find the angle at which the curve y = 3 sin 3x crosses the x-axis. I The curve crosses the x-axis when y =| sin 3x=0, which is equivalent to sin 3x = 0, and thence to 3x = ntr, where n is an arbitrary integer. Thus, x = mr/3. The slope of the tangent line is y' = 3 cos 3x •3 = cos 3x = cos (mr) = ±1. The lines with slope ±1 make an angle of ±45° with the x-axis.

The angle 0, that .$?, makes with the Jt-axis has a tangent that is equal to the slope of the line. The angle 02 that .S?, makes with the *-axis has a tangent equal to the slope of &2. Thus tan 0, = 1 and tan 02 = -5. The angle 0 between ^ and <£2 is 02 - 0}. So, tan6 =tan(02 - 0^ = Reference to a table of tangents reveals that 0 = 56°. Fig.10-7 Let 0l be the angle between the horizontal and the tangent line to y =x3 , and let 02 be the angle between the horizontal and the tangent line to xy = 1. Now, tan 0, is the slope of the tangent line to y = jc3 , which is the derivative of x3 evaluated at (1,1), that is, 3x2 evaluated at x = 1 or 3. So, tan 0, = 3. Likewise, since the derivative of 1/JC is —(1/Jt2 ), which, when evaluated at x = 1, is —1, we have tan 02 = —1.

In Problems 11.2 to 11.9, determine whether the hypotheses of Rolle's theorem hold for the function/on the given interval, and,if they do, verify the conclusion of the theorem. 11.2 f(x) = x2 - 2x- 3 on[-1,3]. I f(x) is clearly differentiable everywhere, and /(-I) =/(3) = 0. Hence, Rolle's theorem applies. /'(*) = 2x-2. Setting /'(*) = °> weobtain x = l. Thus, /'(1) = 0 and -KK3. 11.3 /(*) = x" - x on [0,1]. I f(x) is differentiable, with /'(*) = 3*2 -1. Also, /(0)=/(1) = 0. Thus, Rolle's theorem applies. Setting /'(*) = 0, 3x2 = 1, x2 = 5, x = ±V5/3. The positive solution x =V5/3 lies between 0 and 1. 11.4 f(x) =9x3 -4x on [-§,§]. I f'(x) =27x2 -4 and /(-§)=/(§) = 0. Hence, Rolle's theorem is applicable. Setting f'(x) =0, 27x2 =4, x2 =£, *= ±2/3V3 = ±2V3/9. Both of these values lie in [-§, |], since 2V5/9<§. 11.5 /(*) = *3 - 3*2 + * + 1 on[l, 1 + V2]. I /'(*) = 3x2 -6^ + 1 and /(I) =/(! + V2) = 0. This means that Rolle's theorem applies. Setting f'(x) =0 and using the quadratic formula, we obtain x = l±^V6 and observe that 1< 1+ jV~6< 1+ V2. on [-2,3]. 11.6 There is a discontinuityat *= !, since lim f(x) does not exist.

(To see this, note that, when Ax<0, [/(! + Ax)- 1]/A* = 2 + Ax-*2 as Ax-»0. But, when A*>0, [/(I + A*) - 1]/A* = -l-» -1 as Ax-»0.) Thus, Rolle's theorem does not apply. 69 if if f(x) is differentiable within (0,8), but not at 0. However, it is continuous at x = 0 and, therefore, throughout [0,8]. Also, /(0)=/(8) = 0. Hence, Rolle's theorem applies. /'(*) = 2/3v^-2/3(vT)2 . Setting f'(x) =0, we obtain x = 1, which is between 0 and 8. Notice that x3 -2x2 -5x + 6= (x - l)(x2 - x -6). Hence, f(x) =x2 - x - 6 if x¥=l and x is in [-2,3]. But /(*) = -6 = x2 - x - 6 when x =l. So f(x) = x2 -x-6 throughout the interval [-2, 3]. Also, note that /(-2) =/(3) = 0. Hence, Rolle's theorem applies. f'(x) =2x-l. Setting f'(x) =0, we obtain x = 5 which lies between —2 and 3.
  • 77. 11.18 f(x) =3x + l. f'(x) = 3. Hence, f(x) is increasing everywhere. In Problems 11.18 to 11.26, determine where the function/is increasing and where it is decreasing. 11.17 Prove that, if f'(x)>0 for all x in the open interval (a, b), then f(x) is an increasing function on (a, b). Assume a<u<v<b. Then the mean value theorem applies tof(x) on the closed interval (u, v). So, for some c between u and v, f'(c) =[f(v) - /(«)]/(v - u). Hence, f(v) - /(«) =f'(c)(v - u). Since u<v, v-u>0. By hypothesis, /'(c)>0. Hence, f(v) -/(«)>0, and /(u) >/(«). Thus,/(A:) is increasing in (a, ft). 11.16 Since x-4 is differentiableand nonzero on [0,2], so is/(*).

  • 78. 11.19 f(x) = -2x +1. I f'(x) = —2 <0. Hence, f(x) is always decreasing. 11.20 f(x) =x2 -4x +7. I f'(x) =2x-4. Since 2x-4>Q**x>2, f(x) is increasing when x>2. Similarly, since 2x-4< 0<-»*< 2, f(x) is decreasing when x<2. 11.21 f(x) = 1 - 4x- x2 . 1 f'(x)=-4-2x. Since -4- 2x>Q++x< -2, f(x) is increasing when x<-2. Similarly, f(x) is de- creasing when x > —2. 11.22 /(*) = Vl - x2 . f(x) is denned only for -1<*<1. Now, f'(x) = -xNl - x2. So, f(x) >Q**x <0. Thus, /(*) is increasing when -1< x <0. Similarly, f(x) is decreasing when 0 < x < 1. 11.23 I f(x) is defined only when -3<x<3. f'(x)= (-x)N 9 - x2 . So, /'(*)> 0«-»*<0. Thus, f(x) is increasing when —3<;t<0 and decreasing when 0<Ac<3. 11.24 f(x) =x3 - 9x2 +15x- 3. I f'(x) =3x2 -l8x + 15 =3(x-5)(x- 1). The key points are x = l and *= 5. f'(x)>Q when jc>5, /'(AC)<O for Kx<5, and /'(AC)>O when x<l. Thus, /(*) is increasing when x< or x>5, and it is decreasing when 1< x <5. 11.25 f(x) = x + l/x. I f(x) is denned for x^O. f'(x) = -(lx2 ). Hence, /'(*)<O-H>!< l/x which is equivalent to x2 <l. Hence,f(x) is decreasing when — 1<AC<0 or 0<x<l, and it is increasing when AC>! or AC<—1. 11.26 f(x) =x3 - 2x + 20. I f'(x) = 3x2 —l2 = 3(x —2)(x + 2). The key points are x = 2 and x = —2. For Ac>2, f'(x)>0; for -2<Ac<2, f'(x)<0; for jc<-2, f'(x)>Q. Hence, f(x) is increasing when x>2 or x<-2, and it is decreasing for -2 < x <2. 11.27 Letf(x) be a differentiable function such that f'(x)^0 for all AC in the open interval (a, b). Prove that there is at most one zero of f(x) in (a, b). I Assume that there exist two zeros u and v off(x) in (a, b) with u<v. Then Rolle's theorem applies to /(AC) in the closed interval [u, v]. Hence, there exists a number c in (u, v) such that f'(c) = 0. Since a<c<b, this contradicts the assumption that f'(x)^0 for all x in (a, b). 11.28 Consider the polynomial f(x) =5x3 - 2x2 +3x-4. Prove that f(x) has a zero between 0 and 1that istheonly zero of/(AC). I /(0)=-4<0, and /(1) = 2>0. Hence, by the intermediate value theorem, f(x) =0 for some x between 0 and 1. /'(*) = 15AC2 - 4AC -I- 3. By the quadratic formula, we see that/'(*) has no real roots and is, therefore, always positive. Hence, f(x) is an increasing function and, thus, can take on the value 0 at most once. 11.29 Let/(AC) and g(x) be differentiable functions such that /(a)sg(a) and f'(x)> g'(x) for all x. Show that f(x) > g(x) for all x > a. 1 The function h(x) = f(x) - g(x) is differentiable, /*(«)>0, and h'(x)>0 for all x. By the latter condition, h(x) is increasing, and,therefore, since /i(«)>0, h(x)>0 for all AC > a. Thus, /M>g(Ac) for all AC > a.

Notice that the intermediate value theorem does not help, since g(0) = 1 and g(l) = l. Let f(x) = 2x4 -2x3 -x2 +x and note that /'(*) = g(x). Since /(O) = /(I) = 0, Rolle's theorem applies to /(*) on the interval [0,1]. Hence, there must exist c between 0 and 1 such that f'(c) =0. Then g(c) = 0. 11.32 Show that x +2x - 5 = 0 has exactly one real root. Let f(x) =x3 +2x - 5. Since /(0)=-5<0 and /(2)=7>0, the intermediate value theorem tellsus that there is a root of f(x) = 0 between 0 and 2. Since f'(x) = 3x2 + 2 > 0 for all x, f(x) is an increasing function and, therefore, can assume the value 0 at most once. Hence, f(x) assumes the value 0 exactly once. 11.33 Suppose that f(x) is differentiable everywhere, that /(2) =-3, and that !</'(*)< 2 if 2<x<5. Show that 0</(5)<3. By the mean value theorem, there exists a c between 2 and 5 such that So, Since 2<c<5, K/'(c)<2, 3<3/'(c)<6, 3</(5) + 3<6, 11.34 Use the mean value theorem to prove that tan x > x for 0 < x < Tr/2. The mean value theorem applies to tan* on the interval [0, x]. Hence, there exists c between 0 and x such that sec2 c = (tan* - tanO)/(*-0) = tan*/*. [Recall that Dx(tan *) = sec2 *.] Since 0<c<7r/2, 0 < cosc < 1, secc > 1, sec2 c > 1. Thus, tan xlx > 1, and, therefore, tan x> x. 11.35 If f'(x) = 0 throughout an interval [a, b], prove that /(*) is constant on that interval. Let «<*<fc. The mean value theorem applies to/(*) on the interval [«,*]. Hence, there exists a c Since f'(c) =0, /(*)=/(«). Hence,/(*) hasthe value/(a) between a and * such that throughout the interval. 11.36 If f'(x) = g'(x) for all x in an interval [a, b], show that there is a constant K such that f(x) = g(x) + K for all x in [a, b]. Let h(x)=f(x)-g(x). Then h'(x) = 0 for all x in [a, £>]. By Problem 11.35, there is a constant K such that h(x) = K for all x in [a, b]. Hence, /(x) = g(x) + K for all x in [a, 6]. 11.37 Prove that x3 +px + q =0 has exactly one real root if p>0. Let f(x) = x3 + px + q. Then /'(*) = 3*2 + p > 0. Hence, f(x) is an increasing function. So f(x) as- sumes the value 0 at most once. Now, lim f(x) = +°° and lim f(x) = —». Hence, there are numbers « and i> where /(w) > 0 and f(v) < 0. By the intermediate value theorem, f(x) assumes the value 0 for some number between u and v. Thus, f(x) has exactly one real root. 11.38 Prove the following generalized mean value theorem: If f(x) and g(x) are continuous on [a, b], and if fix) and g(x) are differentiable on (a, b) with g'(x) ^ 0, then there exists a c in (a, b) such that g(°) * g(b)- [Otherwise, if g(a) =g(b) = K, then Rolle's theorem applied to g(x) - K would yield a number between a and b at which g'(x) =0, contrary to our hypothesis.] Let and set F (X) = f(x) ~ f(b> ~ L[g(x) ~ g(b). It is easy to see that Rolle's theorem applies to F(x). Therefore, there is a number c between a and b for which F'(c) = 0. Then, /'(c) —Lg'(c) =0, and So, /(5) + 3= 3/'(c) and 0</(5)<3

Hence, we must find c such that 2Ac + B = A(b + a) + B. Then c = (b + a).

So, by the intermediate value theorem, f(c) = 2 for some c between 0 and rr/4. Hence, f(x) = 2 for exactly one x in [0, 7T/4]. 11.43 Give an example of a function that is continuous on [—1. 1] and for which the conclusion of the mean value theorem does not hold. Then This is essentially an application of the mean value theorem to f(x) = x~ + x + 3 on the interval [1, 21. The slope of the line connecting (1,5) and (2,9) is For that line to be parallel to the tangent line at a point (c, /(c)), the slope of the tangent line, f'(c), must be equal to 4.

So by Problem 11.35, h(x) = const. = h(0) = 1-1 = 1; that is, for all x, /«/(-*) = ! By (2), f(x) is never zero. Furthermore, the continuous (because it is differentiable) function/(x) can never be negative; for f(a) < 0 and /(O) = 1> 0 would imply an intermediate zero value, which we have just seen to be impossible. Hence f(x) is strictly positive.

I Useimplicit differentiation. 2x - (xy' +y) +2yy' =0. Substitute 1forx and2for y. 2- (y' +2) + 4y' = 0. So, y'=0. Hence, the tangent line has slope 0, and,since it passes through (1,2), its equation is y = 2. 12.15 If x2 +2xy +3y2 =2, find y' and /' when y = l.

Thus, the 10th derivative is 10!. The llth derivative is 0. 2.24 For the curve y3 = x2 , calculate y' (a) by implicit differentiation and (b) by first solving for y and then differentiating. Show that the two results agree. I (a) 3y2 y'=2x. Hence, y' =2x/3y2 . (b)y =x2 ' So, y' = lx~" Observe that, since y2 = x" the two answers are the same. HIGHER-ORDER DERIVATIVES AND IMPLICIT DIFFERENTIATION 77 Use implicit differentiation. (*) 2x +2(xy' +y) + 6yy' =0. When y = l, the original equation yields x2 + 2x +3 = 2, x2 +2x + I =0, (x+l)2 = 0, *+ l=0, *= -!. Substitute -1 for x and 1 for y in(*), which results in —2 + 2(—y' + l) + 6y'=0; so, y'=0 when y = l. To find y", first simplify (*) to x + xy' + y + 3yy' = 0, and then differentiate implicitly to get 1+ (xy" +y') + y' + 3(yy" + y'y') = 0. In this equation, substitute —1 for ;c, 1 for y, and 0 for y', which results in 1- y" +3y" = 0, y" = -1. 12.16 Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of y = x + cos xy at (0,1). Differentiate implicitly to get y' = 1- [sin xy •(xy' +y)]. Replace x by 0 and y by 1. y' = 1 - [sin (0) •1]= 1- 0 = 1. Thus, the tangent line has slope 1. 12.17 If cosy = x, find/. Differentiate implicitly: (-sin y)y' = 1. Hence, y' = — l / ( s i n y ) = 12.18 Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve 1+ 16* y = tan (x - 2y) at the point (Tr/4, 0). Differentiating implicitly, I6(x2 y' + 2xy) = [sec2 (.v -2y)](l -2y'). Substituting w/4 for x and 0 for y, 16(ir2 /16)(y') = [sec2 (ir/4)](l-2/). Since cos(77/4) = V3/2, sec2 (77/4) = 2. Thus, Try' =2(1 - 2y'). Hence, y' =21(17* + 4), which is the slope of the tangent line. A point-slope equation of the tangent line is y = [2/(7r2 + 4)](x-7r/4). 12.19 Evaluate y" on the ellipse b2 x2 + ary2 = a2 b2 . Use implicit differentiation to get 2b2 x + 2a2 yy' = 0, y' = -(b2 /a2 )(x/y). Now differentiate by the quotient rule.
  • 85. 12.25 Find a formula for the nth derivative of y = 1 lx( - x). I Observe that y = l/x+ 1/(1-*). Now, the nth derivative of l/x is easily seen to be (-!)"( and that of !/(*-!) to be («!)(!- x)-( " +l Hence, /"' = (n!)[(-l)"/*"+ 1 +1/(1 - Jt)"+I )]. I /'(*)= 2* if x>0 and f'(x)=-2x if x<0. Direct computation by the A-definition, shows that /'(0) = 0. Hence, f'(x) = 2x for all x. Since x is not differentiable at *=0, /"(O) cannot exist. 12.27 Consider the circles C,: (x - a)2 +y2 =8 and C2: (x + a)2 +y2 =8. Determine the value of |a| so that C, and C, intersect at right angles. I Solving the equations for C, and C2 simultaneously,we find (x —a)2 = (x + a)2 , and, therefore, x = 0. Hence, y = ±V8- a2 . OnC1; 2(xl - a) +2yly'l = 0, so at the intersection points, yly'l = a. (Here, the subscript indicates values on C,.) On C2, 2(x2 + a) + 1y^y = 0, so at the intersection points, y2y'2 =—a. Hence, multiplying these equations at the intersectionpoints, yyy-iy'i = ~<*L - At these points, y—y-> = y hence, y2 yy'2 = ~o2 . Since C, and C2 are supposed to be perpendicular at the intersection points, their tangent lines are perpendicular, and, therefore, the product y[y'2 of the slopes of their tangent lines must be -1. Hence, -y2 =-a2 , y2 = a2 . But y2 =8— a2 at the intersection point. So, a2 = 8 — a2 , a2 =4, |a|=2. 12.28 Show that the curves C, : 9y - 6x +y* +x} y =0 and C,: Wy + I5x +x2 - xy3 =0 intersect at right angles at the origin. I On C,, 9y' -6 +4y3 y' +x3 y' +3x2 y =0.

Substitutingin the equation of the ellipse, we obtain 9(4y2 ) + I6y2 = 52, 52y~ = 52, y2 = 1, y = ±l. Since x =-2y, the points of tangency are (—2,1) and (2, —1).

Implicit differentiation of (*) yields 2 -(xy" +y' +y ' ) +2yy" +2(/)2 = 0, Substitution of (1,2)for (x, y), taking into account that y' = 0 at (1, 2), yields 2 +(4-!)>>" = 0, /'=-§. This is the rate of change of the slope y' of the tangent line. In Problems 12.38 to 12.41, use implicit differentiation to find y'. 12.38 tan xy = y. (sec2 xy) •(xy' + y) = y'.

I To find the intersection points, multiplythe equation of the hyperbola by 4 and subtract the result from the equation of the ellipse, obtaining 25y2 = 25, y2 = l, y = ±l, x = ±3. Differentiate both sides of the equation of the ellipse: 8* + I8yy' = 0, y' ——(4x/9y), which is the slope of the tangent line. Differentiate both sides of the equation of the hyperbola: 2x —8yy' = 0, y' = x/4y, which is the slope of the tangent line. Hence, the product of the slopes of the tangent lines is -(4x/9y)- (x/4y) ——(x2 /9y2 ). Since x2 = 9 and y2 = 1 at the intersection points, the product of the slopes is —1, and,therefore, the tangent lines are perpendicular. 12.44 Find the slope of the tangent line to the curve x2 + 2xy —3y2 = 9 at the point (3,2). I 2x +2(xy'+ y)-6yy'=0. Replace x by 3 and y by 2, obtaining 6 + 2(3y' +2) - I2y' =0, 10-6y'=0, y' = 3. Thus, the slope is §. 12.45 Show that the parabolas y2 = 4x + 4 and y2 = 4 —4x intersect at right angles. I To find the intersection points, set 4x +4 =4-4x. Then x =0, y2 =4, y = ±2. For the first parabola, 2yy'=4, y' = 2/y. For the second parabola, 2yy' = -4, y'=—2/y. Hence, the product of the slopes of the tangent lines is (2/y)(-2/y) = -4/y2 . At the points of intersection, y2 = 4. Hence,,the product of the slopes is —1,and,therefore, the tangent lines are perpendicular. 12.46 Show that the circles x2 +y2 - I2x - 6y +25= 0 and x2 +y' +2x +y - 10 = 0 are tangent to each other at the point (2,1). I For thefirstcircle, 2x +2yy' - 12 -6y' =0, and,therefore, at (2,1), 4 + 2y' - 12 - 6y' =0, y'=-2. For the second circle, 2x + 2yy' + 2 + y' = 0, and, therefore, at (2,1), 4 + 2/ + 2 + y' = 0, >•' = -2. Since the tangent lines to the two circles at the point (2,1) have the same slope, they are identical, and, therefore, the circles are tangent at that point. 12.47 If the curve sin y = x* - x5 passes through the point (1,0), find y' and y" at the point (1, 0).

[See Fig. 13-2(c).] 13.3 Find the critical numbers of f(x) = 5 —2x + x2 , and determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative minima, or inflection points. I Recall that a critical number is a number c such that /(c) is defined and either /'(c) = 0 or /'(c) does not exist. Now, f'(x) = -2 + 2x. So, we set -2 + 2x =Q. Hence, the only critical number is x = . But /"(AT) = 2. In particular, /"(I) = 2>0. Hence, by the second-derivative test, f(x) has a relative minimum at *=1. 81 (*) (c) (*) («) («)

Hence, the critical numbers are x=4 and x=—. Now, f"(x) - 6.v - 10. So, /"(4) = 14 > 0, and,by the second-derivative test, there is a relative minimum at x = 4. Similarly, /"(— f ) = -14, and,therefore, there is a relative maximum at x = - §. 13.6 Find the critical numbers of /(*) = *(* - I)3 , and determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative minima, or inflection points. f ' ( x ) =x-3(x-l)2 +(x-lY = (x- l)2 (3x +x-l) = (x- 1) (4x - 1). So, the critical numbers are x = I and x=. Now, f"(x) = (x - I)2 • 4 + 2(x - l)(4x - 1) = 2(x - l)[2(jt - 1) + 4* - 1] = 2(jt - 1)(6* - 3) = 6(jf - l)(2;c - 1). Thus, /"(J) = 6(-i)(-j) = ! >0, and, therefore, bythesecond-derivative test, there is a relative minimum at * = j . On the other hand /"(I) = 6 - 0 - 1 =0, and, therefore, the second-derivative test is inapplicable. Let us use thefirst-derivativetest. f'(x) - (x - 1)2 (4* - 1). For jr^l, (A:-I)2 is positive. Since 4x —1 has the value 3 when x = l, 4x — 1 > 0 just to the left and to the right of 1. Hence,/'(*) is positive both on the left and on the right of x = 1, and this means that we have the case { + , +}. By the first-derivative test, there is an inflection point at x = 1. 13.7 Find the critical numbers of f(x) = sinx —x, and determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative minima, or inflection points. I f ' ( x ) = cos x —1. The critical numbers are the solutions of cos* = 1, and these are the numbers x = 2irn for any integer n. Now, f"(x) = —sinx. So, f"(2irn) = -sin (Iirn) = -0 = 0, and, therefore, the second-derivative test is inapplicable. Let us use the first-derivative test. Immediately to the left and right of x =2irn, cosjc<l, and,therefore, /'(*) = cos x - 1< 0. Hence, the case {-,—} holds, and there is an inflection point at x —7.-nn. 13.8 Find the critical numbers of f(x) = (x - I)2 '3 and determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative minima, or inflection points. I /'(*)= !(x-l)~"3 = §{l/(x-l)"3 ]. There are no values of x for which /'(*) = 0, but jt = 1 is a critical number, since/'(l) is not defined. Try the first-derivative test [which is also applicable when/'(c) is not defined]. To the left of x = , (x - 1) is negative, and, therefore,/'(.*) is negative. To the right of x = l, (jt-1) is positive, and,therefore, f(x) is positive. Thus, the case {-,+} holds, and there is a relative minimum at x = 1. 13.9 Describe a procedure for finding the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of a continuous function f(x) on a closed interval [a, b. I Find all the critical numbers of f(x) in [a, b]. List all these critical numbers, c,, c2 ,.. ., and add the endpoints a and b to the list. Calculate /(AC) for each x in the list. The largest value thus obtained is the maximum value of f(x) on [a, b], and the minimal value thus obtained is the minimal value of f(x) on [a, b]. 82 CHAPTER 13 13.4 Find the critical numbers of /(*) = x l(x - 1) and determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative minima, or inflection points.

Solving Sx -1 =0, wefindthe critical number x=l, which lies in the interval. So we list 1 and the endpoints -2 and 3 in a table, and calculate the corresponding values/(x). The absolute maximum 33 is assumed at x = —2. The absolute minimum - A is assumed at x = 1. 13.11 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f(x) = 4x3 - Sx2 + 1 on the closed interval [-1,1]. I /'(*) = 12x2 - I6x =4x(3x -4). So,thecritical numbers are x =0 and x=%. But * = f does not lie in the interval. Hence, we list only 0 and the endpoints -1 and 1, and calculate the corresponding values of f(x). So, the absolute maximum 1 is achieved at x = 0, and the absolute minimum -11 is achieved at *=-!. 13.13 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f(x) = x3 /(x + 2) on the interval f-1,1]. Thus, the critical numbers are x = 0 and x = -3. However, x = -3 is not in the given interval. So, we list 0 and the endpoints -1 and 1. The absolute maximum5is assumed at x = l, and the absolute minimum — 1 is assumed at x = —1 . 13.14 Forwhat value of k will f(x) = x - kx have a relative maximum at x = -2? f'(x) = 1 + kx~2 = 1 + klx2. We want-2 to be a critical number, that is, l + fc/4 = 0. Hence, k =-4. Thus, f'(x) = 1-4/x2 , and f"(x) =8/x Since /"(-2) = -l, there is a relative maximum at *=-2. 13.15 Find the absolute extrema of /(*) = sin x + x on[0,2-7r]. /'(*) = cos x + 1- For a critical number, cos*+1=0, or cos* = -l. The only solution of this equa- tion in [0,2ir] is x = TT. We list TT and the two endpoints 0 and 2w, and compute the values of/(jc).

Wefirstsearch forroots of 2x3 - 3x2 ~ x - 2 by trying integral factors of the constant term 2. It turns out that x =2 is a root. Dividing 2x3 - 3x2 - x -2 by x —2, we obtain the quotient 2x2 + x + l. By the quadratic formula, the roots of the latter are x = (—l±V^7)/4, which are not real. Thus, the only critical number is x = 2.

The only solution for this equation in [0, TT] is 3?r/4. Thus, the only critical number is 377/4. We list this and the endpoints 0 and 77, and calculate the corresponding values of f(x). Then, the absolute maximum V2 is attained at x =377/4, and the absolute minimum -1 is attained at x =0. 13.17 (a) Find the absolute extrema of /(*) = x - sin .v on [0, 77/2]. (ft) Show that sin;t<;t for all positive or. (a) /'(*) = 1- cosAT. Setting l-cos;c = 0, COSJT = !, and the only solution in [0,77/2] is x = 0. Thus, the only critical number is 0, which is one of the endpoints. Drawing up the usual table, we find that the absolute maximum 77/2 - 1 is achieved at .v = 77/2 and the absolute minimum 0 is achieved at x = 0. (b) By part (a), since the absolute minimumof x - sin x on [0. 77/2] is0, which is achieved only at 0, then, for positive A: in that interval, x —sinx>0, or A'> sin AT.

Then x~ = p. If p<0. there are no critical numbers and, therefore, no relative extrema. If ps?Q, the critical numbers are ±fp. Now, f"(x) = 6x. If p>0, /"(V7>) = 6/P > 0, and, therefore, there is a relative minimum at x = /p; while, f"(-Vp) = —6Vp<0, and, therefore, there is a relative maximum at x=—fp. If p = 0, f'(x) = 3x2, and, at the critical number x = 0, we have the case { + , +} of the first-derivative test; thus, if p = 0, there is only an inflection point at x = 0 and no extrema. 13.21 Show that f(x) = (x - a,)2 + (x - a2)2 + ••• + (x - a,,)2 has an absolute minimum when x = (a, + a2 + • • • + a,,)In.

Hence, the critical numbers are x =2, x = — l , x=j. We shall use the first-derivative test. At x = 2, (x + l)2 (7Ar — 2) is positive, and, therefore, (x + l)~(7x - 2) is positive immediately to the left and right of x =2. For x<2, x-2<0, (;t-2)3 <0, and, therefore, /'(.v)<0. For x>2, (x-2)3 >0, and, therefore, /'(x)>0. Thus, we have the case {-, +}; therefore, there is a relative minimum at x =2. For * = -!, x-2<0, (x-2)3 <0, 7*-2<0, and. therefore, (.v - 2)3 (7.v - 2) >0. Thus, immediately to the left and right of * = -!, (jc -2)3 (7.v -2) >0. (A- + l)2 >0 on both sides of *=-!.

However, since this is the only relative extremum, the graph of the continuous function f(x) must go up on both sides of (a, + a2 + ••• + a,,)/n and must keep on going up (since, if it ever turned around and started going down, there would have to be another relative extremum). 13.22 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f(x) = -4*+ 5 on [-2,3]. Since f(x) is a decreasing linear function, the absolute maximum is attained at the left endpoint and the absolute minimum at the right endpoint. So, the absolute maximum is -4(-2) + 5 = 13, and the absolute minimum is -4(3) + 5 = -7. 13.24 Find the absolute maximum andminimum of f(x) - x3 +2x2 +x - 1 on [-1,1]. - /'(•*) = 3*2 + 4x + 1= (3* + l)(x + 1). Setting /'(*) = 0, we obtain the critical numbers x = -1 x = - |. Hence, we need only tabulate the values at -1, -|, and 1. From these values, we see that the absolute maximum is 3, attained at x =1, and the absolute minimum is - £, attained at x = - £. and Setting /'(.v) = 0, we find 13.26 13.27 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f(x) = x2 /16 + 1 Ix on [1,4].

We also have to check the value of f(x) at x = 1, where the derivativemight not exist.

  • 93. 86 Setting /'(*)=0, we have 2x2 =l, x2 =, * = ±V2/2. So, the only critical number in [0, +00) is x = V2/2. At that point, the first derivative test involves the case { + , -}, and, therefore, there is a relative maximum at x = V2~/2, where y = 2V3/9. Since this is the only critical number in the given interval, the relative maximum is actually an absolute maximum. 13.30 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f(x) =cos2 x + sinx on [0, ir]. /'(*) = 2cos*(-sinx) + cosjc. Setting /'(*) = °> we have cos jc(l -2sinx) = 0, cos* = 0 or 1- 2sinx =0. In the given interval, cosx = 0 at x = trl2. In the given interval, l-2sinx = 0 (that is, sinx=i) only when A: = 77/6 or x = 5ir/6. So, we must tabulate the values of f(x) at these critical numbers and at the endpoints. We see that the absolute maximumis f, attained at x = 77/6 and x = 577/6. The absolute minimum is 1, attained at x=0, x= ir!2, and x = 77. 13.31 Find the absolute maximumand minimumof f(x) =2 sin x + sin 2x on [0,2IT]. /'(*) = 2cosx +2cos2x. Setting /'(AC) = 0, we obtain cosx + cos2x =0. Since cos2x =2cos2 x - 1, we have 2cos2 x + cosx —1= 0, (2cosx —1) (cos* + 1) = 0, cosx = — 1 or cos x —. In the given interval, the solution of cosx= —1 is x = 77, and the solutions of cos;t=j are x = 7r/3 and x = STT/S. We tabulate the values of f(x) for these critical numbers and the endpoints. So, the absolute maximum is 3V3/2, attained at x - 77/3, and the absolute minimumis -3V3/2, attained at x =577/3. 13.32 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f(x) = x/2 —sin x on [0,2-n], ' /'(*)= ~cosx - Setting f'(x) =0, we have cosx=j. Hence, the critical numbers are x = 77/3 and x = 577/3. We tabulate the values of f(x) for these numbers and the endpoints. Note that 77/6<V3/2 (since 7r<3V3). Hence, 77/6- V3/2<0< TT<5-77/6 + V3/2. So, the absolute maximum is 5ir/6 + V5/2, attained at x =5-7r/3, and the absolute minimum is ir/6 —V5/2, attained at x = ir/3. 13.33 Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f(x) = 3 sin x —4 cos x on [0,2-rr]. f'(x) = 3cos x +4 sin x. Setting f'(x) =0, we have 3cos x = -4 sin x, tan *=-0.75. There are two critical numbers: x0, between ir/2 and IT, and xl, between 37T/2 and 2ir. We calculate the values of f(x) for these numbers by using the 3-4-5right triangle and noting that, sinx0 = f and cosx0 = - 5, and that 8^*, = -! and COSA:^^. So, the absolute maximum is 5, attained at x =x0, and the absolute minimum -5 is attained at x =x}. From a table of tangents, x0 is approximately 143° and *, is approximately 323°. 13.28 Find the absolute maximum and minimum (if they exist) of /(*) = (x2 + 4)/(x -2) on the interval [0, 2). By the quadratic formula, applied to x2 —4* —4 = 0, we find the critical numbers 2±2V2, neither of which is in the given interval. Since /'(0) = -1, /'(*) remains negative in the entire interval, and,therefore, f(x) is a decreasing function. Thus, its maximum is attained at the left endpoint 0, and this maximumvalue is -2.

How fast is the bottom of the ladder slipping along the ground when the bottom of the ladder is 7 feet away from the base of the wall? Fig. 14-1 I Let y be the distance of the top of the ladder from the ground, and let x be the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the base of the wall (Fig. 14-1). By the Pythagorean theorem, x2 + y2 = (25)2 . Differentiating with respect to time t, 2x •D,x + 2y •D,y = 0; so, x •D,x + y •Dty = 0. The given information tells us that D,y = -1 foot per second.

How fast is the depth of the wheat increasing? (The volume of a cylinder is nr2 h, where r is its radius and h is its height.) I Let V be the volume of wheat at time t, and let h be the depth of the wheat in the tank. Then V= ir(W)2 h. So, D,V = 1007T •D,h. But we are given that DtV= 314 cubic feet per minute. Hence, 314 = lOO-tr •D,h, D,h = 314/(1007r). If we approximate TT by 3.14, then D,h = l. Thus, the depth of the wheat is increasing at the rate of 1 cubic foot per minute. A 5-foot girl is walking toward a 20-foot lamppost at the rate of 6 feet per second. How fast is the tip of her shadow (cast by the lamp) moving? Fig.14-2 I Let x be the distance of the girl from the base of the post, and let y be the distance of the tip of her shadow from the base of the post (Fig. 14-2). AABC is similar to ADEC. Hence, ABIDE =y / ( y - x), f = yl(y-x), 4 = y/(y-x), 4y-4x =y, 3y =4x. Hence, 3 • D,y =4 • D,x. But, we are told that D,x=-6 feet per second.

Thus the tip of the shadow is movingat the rate of 8 feet per second toward the base of the post. Under the same conditions as in Problem 14.3, how fast is the length of the girl's shadow changing?

Fig. 14-3 I Let M be the distance from the rocket to the observer, as shown in Fig. 14-3. By the Pythagorean theorem, w2 = s2 + (1800)2 . Hence, 2u •D,u =2s •D,s, u-D,u =s-D,s. When s = 2400, u2 = (100)2 • (900), u = 100-30 = 3000. Since s = 400/-16/2 , when s =2400, 2400 = 400f - I6t2 , t2 - 251 +150 =0, (t - W)(t - 15)= 0. So, on the wayup, the rocket is at 2400 feet when / = 10. But, D,s = 400 - 32;. So, when t=W, D,s =400 -32 •10 = 80. Substituting in u-D,u =s-Dts, we obtain 3000 •D,u = 2400 •80, D,u = 64.

The height of the funnel is 20 centimeters and the radius of the top is 4 centimeters. How fast is the fluid level dropping when the level stands 5 centimeters above the vertex of the cone? (Remember that the volume of a cone is irr2 h.) Fig.14-4 I The fluid in the funnel forms a cone with radius r, height h, and volume V. Bysimilar triangles, r/4 = /i/20, r=h/5. So, V=^irr2 h=$Tr(h/5)2 h= Jsirh3 . Hence, D,V= ^trh2 •D,h. We are given that D,V= — 12, since the fluid is leaving at the rate of 12 cubic centimeters per second.

So, 2u •D,u = 2x •D,x, u •D,u - x • D,x. When w = 5, (5)2 = x2 + (4)2 , *= 3, and we are also told that D,u is 300. Substituting in u •D,u = x • D,x, 5 •300 = 3 •D,x, D,x = 500 kilometers per hour. 14.17 14.18 Fig. 14-5 Fig. 14-6 A boat passes a fixed buoy at 9 a.m. heading due west at 3 milesper hour. Another boat passes the same buoy at 10a.m. heading due north at 5 miles per hour. How fast is the distance between the boats changing at 11:30 a.m.? I Refer to Fig. 14-6. Let the time t be measured in hours after 9 a.m. Let x be the number of miles that the first boat is west of the buoy at time t, and let y be the number of miles that the second boat is north of the buoy at time ;. Let u be the distance between the boats at time /. For any time ra=l, u2 = x2 + y2 . Then 2u •D,u = 2x • Dtx + 2y D,y, u •D,u = x •D,x + y •D,y. We are given that D,x =3 and D,y=5. So, u • D,u = 3>x + 5y. At ll:30a.m. the first boat has travelled 2k hours at 3 miles per hour; so, x=s £. Similarly, the second boat has travelled at 5 miles per hour for Ik hours since passing the buoy; so, y = ". Also, «2 = (f )2 + (¥)2 = ¥, « = 15/V2. Substituting in u-D,u =3x +5y, (15/V3)- D,u =3 •f + 5 - ¥ = 6 0 , D,w = 4/2 = 5.64miles per hour. Water is pouring into an inverted cone at the rate of 3.14 cubic meters per minute. The height of the cone is 10 meters, and the radius of its base is 5 meters. How fast is the water level rising when the water stands 7.5 meters above the base? 2- D,r= -3.14/7r(1.25)2 , D,w = -D,y = 3.14/7r(1.25)2 = 0.64 m/min. 14.19 A particle moves along the curve y=x +2x. At what point(s) on the curve are the x- and ^-coordinates of the particle changing at the same rate? D,y =2x-D,x +2-D,x =D,x(2x +2). When D,y= D,x, 2x +2=, 2x = -l, x = -|, y = -$. RELATED RATES 91 Let w be the level of the water above the base, and let r be the radiusof the circle that forms the surface of the water. Let y = 10— w. Then y is the height of the cone-shaped region above the water (see Fig. 14-7). So, the volume of that cone is V, = irr2 y. The total volume of the conical container is V2= 5?r(5)2 •10 = 250?r/3. Thus, the total volume of the water is V= V2-Vl= 25077/3- irr2 y/3. By similar triangles, 10/5 =y/r, y =2r. So, V= 25077/3 - irr2 (2r}/3 = 2507T/3 -2irr3 /3. Hence, D,V= -2-nr2 •D,r. We aregiventhat D,V=3.14. So, 3.14= -2-rrr2 • D,r. Thus, D,r = -3.14/2-trr2 . When the water stands 7.5 meters in the cone, w =7.5, y = 10- 7.5 = 2.5 r=ky = l.25. So £>/=-3.14/2ir(1.25)2 .

How fast is the boat approaching the dock when the length of rope between the dock and the boat is 10 feet, if the rope is being pulled in at the rate of 3 feet per second? Fig.14-8 14.21 14.22 14.23 14.24 f Let x be the horizontal distance from the bow ring to the dock, and let u be the length of the rope between the dock and the boat. Then, u2 = x2 + (8)2 . So 2u •D,u = 2x •D,x, u • D,u = x •D,x. We are told that D,u = -3. So -3u =x-D,x. When u = 10, x2 =36, x =6. Hence, -3 •10 = 6 •D,x, D,x = -5. So the boat is approaching the dock at the rate of 5 ft/s. A girl is flying a kite, which is at a height of 120feet. The wind is carrying the kite horizontallyaway from the girl at a speed of 10 feet per second. How fast must the kite string be let out when the string is 150 feet long? I Let x be the horizontal distance of the kite from the point directly over the girl's head at 120feet. Let u be the length of the kite string from the girl to the kite. Then u2 = x1 + (120)2 . So, 2u • D,u = 2x •Drx, u-D,u = x-D,x. We are told that D,* = 10. Hence, u •D,u = 10*. When w = 150, x2 = 8100, x=90. So, 150 • Z>,M = 900, D,M=6ft/s. A rectangular trough is 8 feet long, 2 feet across the top, and 4 feet deep. If water flows in at a rate of 2 ft3 /min, how fast is the surface rising when the water is 1ft deep? I Let A: be the depth of the water. Then the water is a rectangular slab of dimensions AT, 2, and 8. Hence, the volume V= 16*. So D,V= 16- D,x. We are told that DtV=2. So, 2=16-D,*. Hence, D,x = 5 ft/min. A ladder 20 feet long leans against a house. Find the rate at which the top of the ladder is moving downwardif the foot of the ladder is 12feet away from the house and slidingalong the ground away from the house at the rate of 2 feet per second? I Let x be the distance of the foot of the ladder from the base of the house, and let y be the distance of the top of the ladder from the ground. Then x2 + y2 = (20)2 . So, 2x •Dtx + 2y •Dty = 0, x •D,x + y • D,y = 0. We are told that x = 12 and D,x =2. When * = 12, y2 = 256, y = 16. Substituting in x-D,x + y-D,y =Q, 12- 2 + 16- D,y = 0, Dty = -. So the ladder is sliding down the wall at the rate of 1.5 ft/s. 14.25 A train, starting at 11a.m., travels east at 45 miles per hour, while another starting at noon from the same point travels south at 60 miles per hour. How fast is the distance between them increasing at 3 p.m.? I Let the time t be measured in hours, starting at 11a.m. Let x be the distance that the first train is east of the starting point, and let y be the distance that the second train is south of the starting point. Let u be the distance between the trains. Then u2 = x2 + y2 , 2u •D,u = 2x •D,x + 2y •D,y, u • D,u = x •D,x + y •D,y. We are told that D,x = 45 and D,y =60. for 4 hours at 45 mi/h, and, therefore, So u • Dtu = 45x + 60y. At 3 p.m., the first train has been travelling x = 180; the second train has been travelling for 3 hours at 60 mi/h, and, 92 CHAPTER 14 In Problem 14.23, how fast is the angle a between the ladder and the ground changing at the given moment? tan a = y/x. So, by the chain rule, sec2 a •Dta Also, tan a =)>/*= if = f. So, sec a = 1+ tan o = 1+ f = ¥• Thus, f-D,a = -^, D,a = -|. Hence, the angle is decreasing at the rate of § radian per second.

A ball is dropped from the same height (80 ft) from a point 20 feet from the light. Assuming that the ball falls according to the law s = 16f2 , how fast is the shadow of the ball moving along the ground one second later? I See Fig.14-9. Let x be the distance of the shadow of the ball from the base of the lightpole. Let y be the height of the ball above the ground. By similar triangles, y/80 =(x-20)/x. But, y-8Q-l6t2 . So, l-^2 = l-(20/jt). Differentiating, -fr= (20/Jt2 )- D,x. When f=l, 1 - (l)2 =I -20/jc, x = 100. Substituting in - f/ = (20/*2 ) •D,x, D,x = -200. Hence, the shadow is moving at 200 ft/s.

Are they approaching or separating after 1 hour, and at what rate? I Let the point O be the origin of a coordinate system, with A moving on the Jt-axis and B moving on they-axis (Fig. 14-10). Since A begins at x = 15 and is moving to the left at 20mi/h, its position is x = 15- 20/. Likewise, the position of B is y = -60 + I5t. Let u be the distance between A and B. Then u2 =x2 + y2 , 2u •D,u = 2x •D,x + 2y •D,y, u-D,u =x •D,x + y •D,y. Since D,x = -20 and D,y = 15, u-D,u = -20x + 15y. When f = l, *= 15-20=-5, y = -60+ 15 = -45, u2 =(-5)2 + (-45)2 = (25)(82), « = 5V82. Substituting in «•£>,« = -20* + 15y, 5V82Z>,« =-575, D,u = -115/V82* -13. Since the de- rivative of u is negative, the distance between the ships is getting smaller, at roughly 13mi/h. 14.28 Under the same hypotheses as in Problem 14.27, when are the ships nearest each other? I When the ships are nearest each other, their distance u assumes a relative minimum, and, therefore, D,u =0. Substituting in u-D,u = -20x + 15y, 0 = -20* + 15y. But jc = 15- 20t and y = -60 + 15f. So, 0=' -20(15 - 200 + 15(-60 + 150, '= i hours, or approximately, 1hour and55 minutes. 14.29 Water, at the rate of 10cubic feet per minute, is pouring into a leaky cistern whose shape is a cone 16feet deep and Fig. 14-11 93

So D,V= ^-rrh2 •D,h. We are told that when h = 12, D,h = j . Hence, at that moment, D,V = Tfeir(l44)( j ) = 3ir. Since the rate at which the water is pouring in is 10, the rate of leakage is (10 - ITT) ft3 /min. 14.30 An airplane is ascending at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour along a line making an angle of 60°with the ground. How fast is the altitude of the plane changing? I Let h be the altitude of the plane, and let u be the distance of the plane from the ground along its flight path (Fig. 14-12). Then hlu = sin60° = V3/2, 2/i = V3u, 2 •D,h = V3D,« = V5 • 400. Hence, D,/j = 200V5 kilometers per hour.

(See Fig. 14.13.) I Let x be the length of the shadow. tana=50/jr. By the chain rule, sec" a • D,a = (-50/*2 )- D,x. When a =45°, tana = l, sec2 a = 1+ tan2 a = 2, A: = 50. So, 2(-$) = -&• D,x.

If the beacon turns at 477 radians per minute, how fast does its beam sweep along the shore at its nearest point A1 14.33 f Let x be the distance from A to the point on the shore hit by the beacon, and let a be the angle between the line from the lighthouse 5to A, and the beacon (Fig. 14-14). Then tan a = je/3600, so sec2 a •D,a = 3555 •D,x. We are told that D,a=4?r. When the beacon hits point A, a=0, seca = l, so 4n=jsooD,x, D,x = 14,40077- ft/min = 2407T ft/s. Two sides of a triangle are 15and 20 feet long, respectively. How fast is the third side increasing when the angle a between the given sides is 60° and is increasing at the rate of 2° per second? I Let x be the third side. By the law of cosines, x2 = (15)2 + (20)2 -2(15)(20)-cos a. Hence, 2x •D,x = 600sino-D,a. x- D,x = 300sin a •D,a. We are told that D,a =2- (Tr/180) = 7r/90rad/s. When o = 60°, sina=V3/2, cosa = |, x2 = 225 + 400-600- =325, x = 5VT5. Hence, 5VT3-D,x = 300-(V3/2)-(7r/90), D,x = (7T/V39) ft/s. 94 Fig. 14-14

So, A = w3 . Hence, D,A = 3w2 •D,w. We are told that D,^=48. Hence, 48 =3w2 -D,w, I6=w2 -D,w. When w =2, 16= 4-D,»v, D,w =4. Since e = w2 , D,€ = 2wD,w. Hence, D,f = 2 - 2 - 4 = 16cm/s. A spherical snowball is melting (symmetrically) at the rate of 4ir cubic centimeters per hour. How fast is the diameter changing when it is 20 centimeters? I The volume V= fur3 . So, D,V=4irr2 •D,r. We are told that D,V=-4ir. Hence, -4-n- = 4irr~ •D,r. Thus, — = r2 -Dlr. When the diameter is 20 centimeters, the radius r = 10. Hence, -1 = 100 •D,r, D,r=-0.0l. Since the diameter d =2r, D,d = 2- D,r = 2- (-0.01) = -0.02. So, the diameter is decreasing at the rate of 0.02 centimeter per hour. A trough is 10 feet long and has a cross section in the shape of an equilateral triangle 2 feet on each side(Fig. 14-15). If water is being pumped in at the rate of 20ft3 /min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 1 ft deep? I The water in the trough will have a cross section that is an equilateral triangle, say of height h and side s. In an equilateral triangle with side s, s = 2/Z/V3. Hence, the cross-sectional area of the water is | • (2/J/V3) • h =/z2 /V3. Therefore, the volume V of water is 10/iW3. So, D,V= (20/I/V3) • D,h.We are told that D,V=20. So, 20 = (20A/V3)- D,h, V3 = h-D,h. When h = 1ft, D,h = V3 ft/min. If a mothball evaporates at a rate proportional to its surface area 4irr2 , show that its radius decreases at a constant rate.

Sand is being poured onto a conical pile at the constant rate of 50 cubic feet per minute. Frictional forces in the sand are such that the height of the pile is alwaysequal to the radius of its base. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the sand is 5 feet deep? I The volume V=-rtrl h. Since h = r, V= $irh3 . So, D,V= irh2 •D,h. Weare told that D,V=50, so 5Q=Trh2 -D,h.

If the gas is being compressed at the rate of 12cubic inches per minute, find the rate at which the pressure is increasing at the instant when the volume is 600 cubic inches. I Since pV= constant, p •D,V + V- D,p =0. We are told that D,V= -12, so -12p + V- D,p =0. When V= 1000 and p = 10, Dtp = 0.12 pound per square inch per minute.

A 6-foot man moves on the walkwaytoward the wall at the rate of 5 feet per second. When he is 5 feet from the wall, how fast is the shadow of his head moving up the wall? I See Fig. 14-22. Let x be the distance from the man to the wall. Let u be the distance between the base of the wall and the intersection with the ground of the line from the lamp to the man's head. Let z be the height of the shadow of the man's head on the wall. By similar triangles, 6/(x + u) —10/(15 + u) = zlu. From the first equation, we obtain w=f(9-;t). Hence, x + u = f(15 -x). Since zlu =6/(x + u), z = 6u/(* + w) = 10(9-x)/(15-je) = 10[l-6/(15-jc)]. Thus, D,z = [10- 6/(15 -x)2 } •(~D,x). Weare told that D,x = -5. Hence, D,z = 300/(15 — x)2 . When x = 5, D,z=3ft/s. Thus, the shadow is moving up the wall at the rate of 3 feet per second. Fig. 14-22 C Fig. 14-23 4.54 In Fig. 14-23, a ladder 26 feet long is leaning against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder, A, is slipping away from the base of the wall at the rate of 3 feet per second, how fast is the angle between the ladder and the ground changing when the bottom of the ladder is 10 feet from the base of the wall? I Let x be the distance of A from the base of the wall at C. (-smO)-D,0=&D,x=&. When x = 10, - §iD,0 = js, D,0 = -1 radian persecond. Then D,x = 3.

How fast is the thickness of ice decreasing when the ice is 2 centimeters thick? I Let x be the thickness of the ice. Then the volume of the ice V = 300[Tr(10 + xf - lOOir], So D,V = 300ir[2(10 + x)• D,x]. Since D,V= -2ir, we have -277 = 600ir(10 + x)• D,x, D,x = -I/[300(10 + x)]. When x = 2, Dtx = —3555 cm/min. So the thickness is decreasing at the rate of 5^5 centimeter per minute (4 millimeters per day). Fig. 14-24 14.55 In Fig. 14-24, a baseball field is a square of side 90 feet.

In Problems 15.1 to 15.5, determine the intervals where the graphs of the following functions are concave upward and where they are concave downward. Find all inflection points. 15.1 f(x) = x2 - x + 12. I f'(x) =2x —l, f"(x) = 2. Since the second derivative is always positive, the graph is always concave upward and there are no inflection points. 15.2 /(*) = A:3 + I5x2 + 6x + 1. I f'(x) =3x2 +3Qx +6, f"(x) =6x +30 =6(x +5). Thus, f"(x)>0 when jc>-5; hence, the graphis concave upward for ;t>-5. Since f"(x)<0 for x<-5, the graph is concave downward for x<-5. Hence, there is an inflection point, where the concavity changes, at (5,531). 15.3 /(AT) = x4 + I8x3 + UOx2 +x + l. I f'(x) =4xj + 54x2 +240x + l, f"(x) = 2x2 + W8x +240= 12(x2 +9x +20) = U(x +4)(x + 5). Thus, the important points are x = -4 and x = -5. For x > -4, x +4 and x +5 are positive, and, there- fore, so is /"(•*). For -5<A:<-4, x + 4 is negative and x + 5 is positive; henee,f"(x) is negative. For x<-5, both x+4 and x + 5 are negative, and, therefore,/"(A:) is positive. Therefore, the graph is concave upward for x > -4 and for A: < -5. The graph is concave downward for -5 < x < -4. Thus, the inflection points are (-4,1021) and (-5,1371). 15.4 f(x) = x/(2x-l). I /(*) = [(*-i)+|]/[2(*-i)]=i{l + [l/(2*-l)]}. Hence, /'(*) = i[-l/(2* - I)2 ] -2 = -l/(2x - I)2 . Then /"(*) = [l/(2x - I)3 ] -2 = 2/(2x - I)3 . For x>$, 2*- 1 >0, f"(x)>0, andthegraph is concave upward. For x<, 2x —1<0, /"(AC)<O, and the graph is concave downward. There is no inflection point, since f(x) is not defined when x = |. 15.5 f(x) = 5x4 - x". I f'(x) =2Qx*-5x and /"(*) =6Qx2 -20x* = 20x3 - x). So, for 0<*<3 and for *<0, 3- ;c>0, /"(A-)>O, and the graph is concave upward. For jc>3, 3-Jc<0, /"(AT)<O, and the graph is concave downward. There is an inflection point at (3,162). There is no inflection point at x = 0; the graph is concave upward for x < 3. For Problems 15.6 to 15.10, find the critical numbersand determine whether they yield relative maxima, relative minima, inflection points, or none of these. 15.6 f(x) = 8- 3x +x2 . I f'(x) = -3 +2x, f"(x) =2. Setting -3 + 2A: = 0, we find that x = is a critical number. Since /"(AC) = 2>0, the second-derivative test tells us that there is a relative minimum at x= . 15.7 f(x) = A-4 - ISA:2 +9. I /'W = 4Ar3 -36A: = 4A:(A;2 -9) = 4A:(A:-3)(A: + 3). f(x) = 12;t2 -36 = 12(A:2 -3). The critical numbers are 0, 3, -3. /"(O) =-36<0; hence, x = 0 yields a relative maximum. /"(3) = 72>0; hence, x =3 yields a relativeminimum. /"(-3) = 72>0; hence x = -3 yields a relative minimum. There areinflection points at x = ±V5, y = -36. 100 D ownload from Wow! eBook <www.wowebook.com>

Thecritical numbers are x = - and A: =4. /"(-§)=-14 <0; hence, *=-§ yields a relative maximum. /"(4)=14>0; hence, x =4 yields a relative minimum. There is an inflection point at x = f. 15.9 15.10 f(x) =x2 /(x2 + l). I f(x) = 1- l/(jc2 + 1). So, f'(x) =2x/(x2 + I)2 . The only critical number is x =0. Use the first-deriva- tive test. To the right of 0, f'(x)>0, and to the left of 0, /'(*)<0. Thus, we have the case {-,+}, and, therefore, x =0 yields a relative minimum. Using the quotient rule, f"(x) = 2(1 -3jt2 )/(;t2 + I)3 . So, there are inflection points at x = ± 1 /V3, y = 1. In Problems 15.11 to 15.19, sketch the graph of the given function. 15.11 f(x) = (x2 - I)3 . | f(x) = 3(x - i)2 . 2x = 6x(x2 - I)2 = 6x(x - l)x + I)2.

Hence, we have the case {-,+} of the first derivative test; thus x =0 yields a relative minimum at (0, -1). For both x = l and x = —I, f'(x) has the same sign to the right and to the left of the critical number; therefore, there are inflection points at (1,0) and (-1,0). When x-»±=°, /(*)-»+». It is obvious from what we have of the graph in Fig. 15-1 so far that there must be inflection points between x=— 1 and x = 0, and between x = Q and jc = l. To find them, we compute the second derivative: /"(*) = 6(x - l)2 (x +I)2 + I2x(x - l)2 (x + 1)+ 12*(x - l)(x + I)2 = 6(x —l)(x + l)[(x —l)(x + 1) + 2x(x - 1) + 2x(x + 1)] Hence, the inflection points occur when —0.51.

  • 115. 108 D CHAPTER 15 2(cos2 x - sin2 x) - cos x =2(2 cos2 * - 1)- cos x = 4cos2 x - cos x - 2. Since f(x) has aperiod of27r, weneed only consider, say, [-ir, ir]. Moreover, since f(-x) =f(x), we only have to consider [0, ir], and then reflect in the _y-axis. The critical numbers are the solutions in [0, TT] of sin x = 0 or 2 cos x - 1= 0. The equation sin x = 0 has the solutions 0, TT. The equation 2 cos x —1=0 is equivalent to cos x = , having the solution x = ir/3. /"(0) = 1>0, so there is a relative minimum at x = 0, y = 0. /"(7r) = 3>0, so there is a relative minimum at x = TT, y = -2. f(ir/3) = - § < 0, so there is a relative maximum at x = ir/3, y = 1. There are inflection points between 0 and 7r/3 and between ir/3 and TT; they can be approximated by using the quadratic formula to solve f"(x) =4cos2 x - cosx - 2 =0 for cosx, and then using a cosine table to approximate x. See Fig.15-24. Fig.15-25 15.36 f(jc) = |sinjt:l. I Since f(x) is even, has a period of TT, and coincides with sin A; on [0, Tr/2], we get the curve of Fig. 15-25. 15.37 f(x) =sin x + x.

Find the dimensions of that field (if any) for which the perimeter is a minimum,and the dimensions (if any) for whichthe perimeter is amaximum. I Let f be the length and w the width. Then f w = c. The perimeter p = 2( + 2w = 2( + 2c/f. ( can be any positive number. D(p = 2-2c/f2, and D2ep=4c/f3. Hence, solving 2-2c/f2 = 0, we see that f =Vc is a critical number. The second derivative is positive, and, therefore, there is a relative minimum at t = Vc. Since that is the only critical number and the function 2f +2c/f is continuous for all positive f , there is an absolute minimumat f = Vc. (If p achieved a still smaller value at some other point f0, there would have to be a relative maximum at some point between Vc and f0, yielding another critical number.) When ( = Vc, w = Vc. Thus, for a fixed area, the square is the rectangle with the smallest perimeter. Notice that the perimeter does not achieve a maximum,since p = 2f + 2c//—» +00 as f—»+00. 16.2 Find the point(s) on the parabola 2x =y2 closest to the point (1,0). I Refer to Fig. 16-1. Let u be the distance between (1,0) and a point (x, y) on the parabola. Then u =V(* - I)2 + y2 . To minimize u it suffices to minimize u2 =(x - I)2 +y2 . Now, u2 =(x - I)2 + 2x. Since (x, y) is a point on 2x =y2 , x can be any nonnegative number. Now, Dx(u2 ) =2(x - 1) + 2 = 2x >0 for *>0. Hence, u2 is an increasing function, and, therefore, its minimum value is attained at x = 0, y = 0. 16.3 16.4 118 Find the point(s) on the hyperbola x2 -y2 =2 closest to the point (0,1). I Refer to Fig. 16-2. Let u be the distance between (0,1) and a point (x, y) on the hyperbola. Then M = V*2 + (.y ~!)2 - To minimize M, it suffices to minimize u2 =x2 + (y - I)2 = 2 +y2 +(y - I)2 . Since *2 = y2 + 2, y can be any real number. Dy(u2 ) =2y +2(y - 1) = 4y -2. Also, D2 (M2 ) = 4. The only critical number is|, and, since the second derivative ispositive, there isa relative minimum at y = , x=±. Since there is only one critical number, this point yields the absolute minimum. A closed box with a square base is to contain 252cubic feet. The bottom costs $5per square foot, the top costs $2 per square foot, and the sides cost $3 per square foot. Find the dimensions that will minimize the cost. I Let s be the side of the square base and let h be the height. Then s2 h =252. The cost of the bottom is 5s2 , the cost of the top is 2s2 , and the cost of each of the four sides is 3sh. Hence, the total cost C = 5s2 + 2s2 + 4(3sfc) = 7s2 + I2sh =7s2 + 12s(252/s2 ) = 7s2 + 3024/s. s can be any positive number. Now, DsC = 14s- 3024/s2, and D2C= 14 +6048/s3. Solving 14s - 3024/s2 = 0, 14s3 = 3024, s3 = 216, s = 6. Thus, s = 6 is the only critical number. Since the second derivative is always positive for s>0, there is a relative minimum at s = 6. Since s = 6 is the only critical number, it yields an absolute minimum. When s = 6, h =1. Fig. 16-1 Fig. 16-2
  • 126. APPLIED MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM PROBLEMS 0 119 16.5 A printed page must contain 60cm2 of printed material. There are to be margins of 5 cm on either side and margins of 3cm on the top and bottom (Fig. 16-3). How long should the printed lines be in order to minimizethe amount of paper used? Fig. 16-3 16.6 16.7 16.8 16.9 I Let x be the length of the line and let y be the height of the printed material. Then xy = 60. The amount of paper A = (x + W)(y + 6) = (x + 10)(60/x + 6) = 6(10 + x + 100/x + 10) =6(20 +x + 100/x). x can be any positive number. Then DXA = 6(1-100/x2 ) and D2 /l = 1200/.X3 . Solving 1 - 100/x2 = 0, we see that the only critical number is 10. Since the second derivative is positive, there is a relative minimum at x = 10, and, since this is the only critical number, there is an absolute minimum at x =10. A farmer wishes to fence in a rectangular field of 10,000 ft2 . The north-south fences will cost $1.50 per foot,while the east-west fences will cost $6.00 per foot. Find the dimensions of the field that will minimize the cost. I Let x be the east-west dimension, and let y be the north-south dimension. Then xy = 10,000. The cost C = 6(2x) + 1.5(2v) = 12x + 3y = Ux + 3(10,000Ix) = Ux + 30,000/x. x can be any positive number. DXC = 12 -30,000/x2 . D2 C = 60,000/x3 . Solving 12 -30,000/x2 = 0, 2500 =x2 , x =50. Thus, 50 is the only critical number. Since the second derivative is positive, there is a relative minimumat x = 50. Since this is the only critical number, this is an absolute minimum. When x = 50, y = 200. Find the dimensions of the closed cylindrical can that will have a capacity of k units of volume and will use the minimum amount of material. Find the ratio of the height h to the radius r of the top and bottom. I The volume k = irr2 h. The amount of material M =2irr2 +2irrh. (This is the area of the top and bottom, plus the lateral area.) So M =2irr2 +2irr(kiirr2 ) =2irr2 +2klr. Then DrM =4trr - 2k/r2 , D2 rM = 477 + 4k/r*. Solving 47rr - 2Jt/r2 = 0, we find that the only critical number is r =3/kl2Tr. Since the second derivative is positive, this yields a relative minimum, which, by the uniqueness of the critical number, is an absolute minimum. Note that k = irr2h = Trr3(h/r) = ir(kl2it)(hlr). Hence, hlr = 2. In Problem 16.7, find the ratio hlr that will minimizethe amount of material used if the bottom and top of the can have to be cut from square pieces of metal and the rest of these squares are wasted. Also find the resulting ratio of height to radius. I k=Trr2 h. Now M =8r2 +2-irrh = 8r2 +2irr(k/Trr2 ) =8r2 +2klr. D,M = 16r -2k/r2 . D2 M =16 + 4fc/r3 . Solving for the critical number, r3 = k/8, r =3/~ki2. As before, this yields an absolute minimum. Again, k = irr2h = Trrh/r) = ir(k/8)(h/r). So, h/r = 8/ir. A thin-walledcone-shaped cup (Fig. 16-4) is to hold 367T in3 of water when full. What dimensions willminimize the amount of material needed for the cup? I Let r be the radius and h be the height. Then the volume 36TT = irr2 h. The lateral surface area A = irrs, where s is the slant height of the cone. s2 = r2 + h2 and h = W8/r2 . Hence, A = Then,

Thefirst-derivativetest yields the case {-,+}, showing that r = 3V2 gives a relative minimum,which, by the uniqueness of the critical number, must be an absolute minimum. When r = 3V2, h = 6. Fig. 16-4 16.10 A rectangularbin, open at the top,is required to contain 128cubic meters. If the bottom is to be a square, at a cost of $2 per square meter, while the sides cost $0.50 per square meter, what dimensions will minimize the cost? I Let s be the side of the bottom square and let h be the height. Then 128 = s2 h. The cost (in dollars) C = 2r+ $(4sh) =2s2 +2s(U8/s2 ) =2s~ + 256/5, so DSC =4s - 256/s2 , D;C = 4 + 512/53 . Solving 4s- 256/52 =0, s3 = 64, 5 = 4. Since the second derivative ispositive, the critical number 5 = 4 yields a relative minimum, which, by the uniqueness of the critical number, is an absolute minimum. When 5 = 4, h = 8. 16.11 The selling price P of an item is 100-0.02jc dollars, where x is the number of items produced per day. If the cost C of producing and selling x items is 40* + 15,000 dollars per day,how many items should be produced and sold every day in order to maximize the profit? I The total income per day is jt(100- 0.02.x). Hence the profit G =x( 100 -0.02*) -(40* + 15,000) = 60x-0.02x2 - 15,000, and DAG = 60-0.04* and D2 G =-0.04. Hence, the unique critical number is the solution of 60 — 0.04x = 0, x = 1500. Since the second derivative is negative, this yields a relative maximum, which, by the uniqueness of the critical number, is an absolute maximum. 16.12 Find the point(s) on the graph of 3*2 + 0xy + 3_y2 = 9 closest to the origin. I It suffices to minimize u = x2 + y', the square of the distance from the origin. By implicit differentiation, Dsu =2x + 2yDJ[y and 6x + W(xDty +y) +dyDxy =0. From the second equation, Dvv = -(3x + 5y)l (5x + 3y), and, then, substituting in the first equation, Dxu = 2x + 2y[~(3x +5y)/(5x + 3y)]. Setting Dr «=0, x(5x +3y)- y(3x +5y)- 0, 5(x2 -y2 ) = 0, x2 = y2 , x-±y. Substitutingintheequation of the graph, 6*2 ± 10*2 = 9. Hence, we have the + sign, and 16*2 = 9, jc = ± f and _ y = ± | . Thus, the two points closest to the origin are (j, j) and (-1, -1). 16.13 A man at a point P on the shore of a circular lake of radius 1 mile wants to reach the point Q on the shore diametrically opposite P (Fig. 16-5).

Hence, the time T= PR/1.5 + RQ/3 = | cosfl + §0. So, D -!sin0+ . Setting DeT=0, we find sin0= |, Q=Tt/6. Since T is a continuous function on the closed interval [0, Tr/2], we can use the tabular method. List the critical number ir/6 and the endpoints 0 and 7T/2, and compute the corresponding values of T. The smallest of these values is the absolute minimum. Clearly, 7r/3<3, and it is easy to check that 7r/3<(6V5 + IT) 19. (Assume the contrary and obtain the false consequence that ir > 3V5.) Thus, the absolute minimumis attained when 0 —Tr/2. That means that the man walks all the way. 16.15 16.14 Find the answer to Problem 16.13 when, instead of rowing, the man can paddle a canoe at 4 miles per hour. I Using the same notation as in Problem 16.13, we find T= cos0 + §0, DeT= — sin6 + §. Setting DgT=0, We obtain sin 0 = 5 , which is impossible. Hence, we use the tabular method for just the endpoints 0 and itII. Then, since < ir/3, the absolute minimum is , attained when 0 = 0. Hence, in this case, the man paddles all the way. A wire 16feet long has to be formed into a rectangle. What dimensions should the rectangle have to maximize the area? I Let x andy be the dimensions. Then 16 = 2x +2y, 8=x +y. Thus, 0sx < 8. The area A =xy = x(8 —x) = Sx —x2 , so DXA = 8 - 2x, D2 XA = —2. Hence, the only critical number is x = 4. We can use the tabular method. Then the maximum value 16is attained when x =4. When x =4, y =4. Thus, the rectangle is a square. 16.16 Find the height h and radius r of a cylinder of greatest volume that can be cut within a sphere of radius b. I The axis of the cylinder must lie on a diameter of the sphere. From Fig. 16-6, b2 = r2 + (h/2)2 , so the volume of the cylinder V= -rrr2 h = Tr(b2 - H2 /4)h =ir(b2 h - A3 /4). Then DhV= ir(b2 - 3h2 /4) and D2 hV= -(3ir/2)h, so the critical number is h = 2b/V3. Since the second derivative is negative, there is a relative maximum at h = 2ft/V3, which, by virtue of the uniqueness of the critical number, is an absolute maximum. When h = 2b/V3, r = 6VI • Fig. 16-6 16.17 Among all pairs of nonnegative numbers that add up to 5, find the pair that maximizesthe product of the square of the first number and the cube of the second number.

Hence, the critical numbers are 0 and 1. We use the tabular method. The maximum value TT is attained when r = 1. When r = 1, h = l. Among all right triangles with fixed perimeter p, find the one with maximum area. I Let the triangle AABC have a right angle at C, and let the two sides have lengths x and y (Fig. 16-7). Then the hypotenuse AB=p-x-y. Therefore, (p - x - y)2 =x2 +y2 , so 2(p-x-y)(-l-Dty) = 2x + 2yD,y, Dxy{(p - x - y) + y] = (-p + x - y) + x, Dxy(p - x) = y - p, Dxy = (y - p)l(p - x). Now, the area A = xy, DXA = (xDxy + y) = [x(y-p)l(p -x) +y] = ${[x(y-p) +y(p - x)]/(p - x)} = [p(y - x)l(p-x)}. Then, when DXA=Q, y =x, and the triangle isisosceles.

When x =Q, A =Q. When x = p/2, y = 0 and A =0. Hence, the maximum is attained when x = y = p/(2 + V5). Fig. 16-7 Fig. 16-8 which eventually evaluates to ~-(c2 /h3 )(3s - c). When s= c, thesec- ond derivative becomes -(c3 /fc3 )<0. Hence, s= |c yields a relative maximum, which by virtue of the uniqueness of the critical number, must be an absolute maximum. When s — §c, the base 2c - 2s = fc. Hence, the triangle that maximizes the area is equilateral.

Since the second derivative is positive, this yields a relative minimum, which, by virtue of the uniqueness of the critical number, must be an absolute minimum.

The material for the top and bottom of the container will cost $2.50 per in2 , while the material for the rest of the container will cost $4 per in2 . How should you choose the height h and the radius r in order to minimize the cost? I 5000= 77T2 /t. The lateral surface area is 2-rrrh. Hence, the cost C =2(2.5Q)irr2 +4(2irrh) = 5irr2 + 87r;7j = 5iTT2 + 87rr(5000/?rr2 ) = 57rr2 +40,000/r. Hence, DrC= Wirr -40,000/r2 and D2 C = WTT + (80,000/r3 ). Solving Qirr- 40,000/r2 = 0, we find the unique critical number r = lO^hr.'

Hence, when DXP = Q, either jc = 0 or y = 0 (and x = 2), or y = x (and then, by x2 +y2 =4, x =V2). Thus, we have three critical numbers x =0, x =2, and x = V2.

Find the numbers if their sum is as large as possible. I Let x be the first and y the second number. Then x +y2 =10. Their sum S =x +y - 10 - y2 + y. Hence, DyS=—2y + l, D2 yS = -2, so the critical number is y=.

Solving DfA=0, we find y = 1.25*, 80=1.25*2 , 64= x2 , x = 8, y = W.

Since the second derivative is negative, the unique critical number yields an absolute maximum. Notice that this maximum,taken over a continuous variable x, is assumed for the integral value x = 80. So it certainly has to remain the maximum when x is restricted to integral values (whole numbers of electronic components). A gasoline station selling x gallons of fuel per month has fixed cost of $2500 and variable costs of 0.90*. The demand function is 1.50 —0.00002* and the station's capacity allows no more than 20,000 gallons to be sold per month. Find the maximum profit. I The price that x gallons can be sold at is the value of the demand function. Hence, the total income is *(1.50- 0.00002*), and the profit G =*(1.50- 0.00002*) -2500- 0.90* =0.60* -0.00002*2 - 2500. Hence, DXG =0.60 - 0.00004*, and D2 G = -0.00004. Solving DXG =0, we find 0.60 = 0.00004*, 60,000 = 4*, x = 15,000.

Since the width 3 of the cardboard is greater than 2*, we must have *<§. Hence, the value * = 3 is impossible. Thus, we have a unique critical number * = I , and, for that value, the second derivative turns out to be negative.

Find the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum perimeter which can be so inscribed. I x/200 + (2y/225)Dsy = 0, Dxy = -(9x/16y). The perimeter P = 4x+4y, so DxP = 4 + 4Dxy = 4(l-9*/16.y) = 4(16y-9;t)/16.y and DP= -y -x(-9x!16y)]/y2 = -?(16/ + 9*2)/16/<0. Solving DrP = 0, I6y = 9x and, then, substitutingin the equation of the ellipse, we find x2 = 256, x = 16, y = 9. Since the second derivative is negative, this unique critical number yields the maximum perimeter.

Find the dimensions of the right circular cylinder of maximumvolume that can be inscribed in a right circular cone of radius R and height H (Fig. 16-17). I Let r and h be the radius and height of the cylinder. By similar triangles, r/(H-h) = R/H, r = (RIH)(H-h). The volume of the cylinder V= Trr2 h = ir(R2 /H2 )(H- h)2 h. Then Dl,V=(trR2 /H2 )(H - h)(H —3h), so the only critical number for h < H is h = H/3. By the first-derivative test, this yields a relative maximum,which, by the uniqueness of the critical number, is an absolute maximum. The radius r = 16.44 A rectangular yard must be enclosed by a fence and then divided into two yards by a fence parallel to one of the sides. If the area A is given, find the ratio of the sides that will minimize the total length of the fencing. I Let y be the length of the side with the parallel inside fence, and let x be the length of the other side. Then A =xy. The length of fencing is F = 3y + 2x = 3(A/x) +2x. So, DXF= -3A/x2 + 2, and D*F = 6A/x3 . Solving DXF =Q, we obtain x2 =A, x = ^IA. Since the second derivative is positive, this unique critical number yields the absolute minimum for F.

What is the maximumpossible area of the rectangle? and Fig. 16-18 I Let M be the x-coordinate of the leftmost vertex B of the rectangle on the x-axis. Then the y-coordinate of the other two vertices is 4«. The x-coordinate of the vertex C opposite B is obtained by solving the equation y=-5x + 6 for x when y=4u. This yields x = (6-4w)/5. Hence, this is the x-coordinate of the other vertex D on the x-axis. Thus, the base of the rectangle is equal to (6-4u)/5 -u =(6-9u)/5. Therefore, the area of the rectangle A =4w(6- 9u)/5 = f u - f u2 . Then DUA = f 7 f u and D2 uA =-%. Solving DUA = 0, we find that the only positive critical number is M = 3. Since the second derivative is negative, this yields the maximumarea. When w = 3 , A=. 16.46 A window formed by a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle is to have a fixed perimeter P. Find the dimensions that will admit the most light. I Let 2y be the length of the side on which the semicircle rests, and let x be the length of the other side. Then P =2x + 2y + Try. Hence, 0 = 2D},x + 2+ TT, Dyx = -(2+ ir) 12. To admit the most light, we must max- imize the area A =2xy + iry2 /2. D^.A = 2(.v + Dv..v y) + Try =2x - 2y, and D2 A =2Dyx - 2 = -TT -4<0. Solving DyA = Q, we obtain x = y, P = (4 + TT)X, x = /V(4+7r). Since the second derivative is nega- tive, this unique critical number yields the maximum area, so the side on which the semicircle rests is twice the other side. 16.47 Find the y-coordinate of the point on the parabola parabola (Fig.16-19). Ar2 = 2py that is closest to the point (0, b) on the axis of the Fig. 16-19 I It suffices to find the point (x, y) that minimizes the square of the distance between (x, y) and (0, b). U =x2 +(y-b)2 , and DXU =2x +2(y - b)- Dxy. But 2x =2pDxy, Dxy =xlp. So DXU = (2x/p)(p +y-b). Also, D2 U =(2/p)(x2 /p +p +y - b). Setting Dvt/ = 0, we obtain x =0 or y = b — p. Case 1. b-^p. Then fe-psO, and, therefore, the only possible critical number is jt=0. By the first-derivative test, we see that x =0, y=0 yields the absolute minimum for U. Case 2. b>p. When x = 0, U = b2. When y = b-p, U = p(2b - p) < b2. When y>b-p, D,t/>0 (for positive x) and,therefore, the value of U is greater than its value when y = b - p.

Since the second derivative is negative, this unique critical number yields an absolute maximum. 16.50 An east-west and a north-south road intersect at a point O. A diagonal road is to be constructed from a point E east of O to a point N north of O passing through a town C that is a miles east and b miles north of O. Find the distances of E and N from O if the area of &NOE is to be as small as possible. I Let x be the ^-coordinate of E. Let v be the y-coordinate of N. By similar triangles, ylb =xl(x - a), y = bx/(x - a). Hence, the area A of ANOE is given by A = x bxl(x -a) =(b!2)x2 /(x - a). Using the quotient rule, DXA =(b/2)(x2 - 2ax)/(x - a)2 , and D2 A =a2 h/(x - a)3 . Solving DXA =0, we obtain the critical number x =2a. The second derivative is positive, since x> a is obviously necessary. Hence, x = 2a yields the minimum area A. When x =2a y = 2b. 16.51 A wire of length L is to be cut into two pieces, one to form a square and the other to form an equilateral triangle. How should the wire be divided to maximize or to minimize the sum of the areas of the square and triangle? I Let x be the part used for the triangle. Then the side of the triangle is x/3 and its height is jcV3/6. Hence, the area of the triangle is |(*/3)(*V3/6) = V3x2 /36. The side of the square is (L-x)/4, and its area is [(L - x)/4]2 . Hence, the total area A = V3x2 /36 + [(L - x)/4]2 . Then DXA =xV3/18 ~(L-x) IS. Set- ting DXA =0, we obtain the critical number x = 9L/(9 + 4V5). Since 0<*<L, to find the maximum and minimumvalues of A we need only compute the values of A at the critical number and the endpoints. It is clear that, since 16< 12V3< 16+ 12V3, the maximum area corresponds to x =0, where everything goes into the square, and the minimum value corresponds to the critical number. 16.52 Two towns A and B are, respectively, a miles and b miles from a railroad line (Fig. 16-20). The points C and D on the line nearest to A and B, respectively, are at a distance of c miles from each other. A station S is to be located on the line so that the sum of the distances from A and B to S is minimal. Find the position of S. Fig. 16-20 I Let the part used to form the circle be of length x. Then the radius of the circle is x/2ir and its area is ir(jc/2ir)2 = x2 /4TT. The part used to form the square is L - x, the side of the square is (L - x)14, and its area is [(L-*)/4]2 . So the total area A =x2 /4ir +[(L - *)/4]2 . Then DSA =x/2ir - %(L - x). Solv- ing DXA = 0, we obtain the critical value x = irL/(4 + TT). Notice that 0<jc:<L. So, to obtain the minimum and maximumvalues for A, we need only calculate the values of A at the critical number and at the endpoints 0 and L. Clearly, L2 /4(4+ TT)< L2 /16< L2 /4-n-.

The river is uniformly 12 miles wide. The company can run the line along the shoreline to a point C and then run the line under the river to B. The cost of laying the line along the shore is $1000 per mile, and the cost of laying it under water is twice as great. Where should the point C be located to minimize the cost? 16.54 16.55 Fig. 16-21 I Let x be the distance from A to C.

I Let the base of length 2c lie on the jc-axis with the origin as its midpoint, and let the other vertex (x, y) lie in the upper half-Diane (Fie. 16-22). By symmetry we may assume x £: 0. To minimize the perimeter, we must ±(c-x). The minus sign leads to the contradiction c = 0. Therefore, c + x = c-x, x = 0. Thus, the third vertex lies on the y-axis and the triangle is isosceles. That the unique critical number x = 0 yields an absolute minimum follows from a computation of the second derivative, which turns out to be positive.

  • 140. CHAPTER 17 Rectilinear Motion 17.1 The equation of free fall of an object (under the influence of gravity alone) is s = s0 + vat —I6t2 , wheresa is the initial position and va is the initial velocity at time t - 0. (We assume that the j-axis is directed upwardaway from the earth, along the vertical line on which the object moves, with s =0 at the earth's surface, s is measured in feet and t in seconds.) Show that, if an object is released from rest at any given height, it will have dropped 16t2 feet after t seconds. I To say that the object is released from rest means that the initial velocity v0 = 0, so its position after t seconds is s0 —16t2 . The difference between that position and its initial position s0 is 16f2 . 17.2 How many seconds does it take the object released from rest to fall 64 feet? I By Problem 17.1, 64= 16f2 . Hence, t2 =4, and, since t is positive, t =2. 17.3 A rock is dropped down a well that is 256 feet deep. When will it hit the bottom of the well? I If t is the time until it hits the bottom, 256= 16f2 , so t2 = 16, t = 4. 17.4 Assuming that one story of a building is 10feet, with what speed, in miles per hour, does an object dropped from the top of a 40-story building hit the ground? f Let t be the time until the object hits the ground. Since the building is 400feet tall, 400=16f2 , t2 =25, t = 5. The velocity v = D,s. Since s = s0 - I6t2 , v = -32f. When t =5, i; = -160. Thus, the speed v is 160ft/s. To change to mi/h, we calculate as follows: In particular, when x = 160ft/s, the speed is about 108.8 mi/h. 17.5 A rocket is shot straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 128ft/s. How far has it traveled in 1 second? I The height s = s0 + v0t - I6t2 . Since s0 = 0 and v0 = 128, s = 128t-l6t2 . When t=l, s = 112ft. 17.6 In Problem 17.5, when does the rocket reach its maximum height? I At the maximumvalue of5, v = D,s =0, but v = 128 - 3>2t. Setting v =0, weobtain t = 4 seconds. 17.7 In Problem 17.5,when does the rocket strike the ground again and what is its velocity when it hits the ground? I Setting s =0, 128t - I6t2 = 0, 16t(8 - t) = 0, / = 0 or t = 8. So the rocket strikes the ground again after 8 seconds. When / = 8, the velocity v = 128- 32t= 128-256=-128 ft/s. The velocity is negative (because the rocket is moving downward) and of the same magnitude as the initial velocity (seeProblem 17.28). 17.8 A rock is thrown straight down from a height of 480 feet with an initial velocity of 16ft/s. How long does it take to hit the ground and with what speed does it hit the ground? I The height s = s0 +v0t - I6t2 . In this case, J0 = 480 and u0=-16. Thus, s = 480 -I6t - 16t2 = 16(30- t-t2 ) =16(6+ t)(5-t). Setting 5= 0, we obtain t=-6 or t =5. Hence, the rock hits the ground after 5 seconds. The velocity v =D,s= -16 - 32f. When t =5, v = -16 - 160 = -176, so the rock hits the ground with a speed of 176ft/s. (Theminus sign in the velocity indicates that the rock is moving downward.) 17.9 Under the same conditions as in Problem 17.8, how long does it take before the rock is moving at a speed of 112ft/s? 133
  • 141. 134 0 CHAPTER 17 I From Problem 17.8, we know that v = D,s = —16 —32t. Since the rock is moving downward, a speed of 112 ft/s corresponds to a velocity v of -112. Setting -112=-16-32r, 32/ = 96, t = 3 seconds. 17.10 Under the same conditions as in Problem 17.8,when has the rock traveled a distance of 60 feet? f Since the rock starts at a height of 480 feet, it has traveled 60 feet when it reaches a height of 420 feet. Since s =480 - 16f - 16f2 , weset 420 =480 - 16f - 16*2 , obtaining 4t2 +4f - 15 =0, (It + 5)(2t - 3)=0, t=—2.5 or f=1.5. Hence, the rock traveled 1.5 seconds. 17.11 An automobile moves along a straight highway, with its position 5 given by s = 12t3 - l&t2 +9t- 1.5 (s in feet, t in seconds). When is the car moving to the right, when to the left, and where and when does it change direction? I Since s increases as we move right, the car moves right when v = D,s>0, and moves left when v = D,s<0. v= 36t2 -36t +9 =9(4f2 -4t + 1) = 9(2t- I)2 . Since i; >0 (except at t =0.5, where i; = 0), the car always moves to the right and never changes direction. (It slows down to an instantaneous velocity of 0 at t = 0.5 second, but then immediately speeds up again.) 17.12 Refer to Problem 17.11. What distance has the car traveled in the one second from t = 0 to t =1? I From the solution to Problem 17.11, we know that the car is always moving right. Hence, the distance traveled from t =0 to t = 1 is obtained by takingthe difference between its position at time t = 1 and its position at time t =0: s(l) -s(0) = 1.5 -(-1.5) = 3ft. 17.13 The position of a movingobject on a line is given by the formula s = (t —l)3 (t —5). When is the object moving to the right, when is it movingleft, when does it change direction, and when is it at rest? What is the farthest to the left of the origin that it moves? I v =D,s =(t-l)3 +3(t-l)2 (t-5) =(t-l)2 [t-l +3(t-5)] =4(t-l)2 (t-4). Thus, u > 0 when t> 4, and v<0 when t<4 (except at t=l, when v =0). Hence, the object is moving left when t<4, and it is movingright when t>4. Thus, it changes direction when r = 4. It is never at rest. (To be at rest means that s is constant for an interval of time, or, equivalently, that v = 0 for an entire interval of time.) The object reaches its farthest position to the left when it changes direction at t = 4. When t = 4, s =-27. 17.14 A particle moves on a straight line so that its position s (in miles) at time t (in hours) is given by s = (4t —l)(t —I)2 . When is the particle moving to the right, when to the left, and when does it change direction? When the particle is moving to the left, what is the maximum speed that it achieves? I v = D,s = 4(t- I)2 +2(t - l)(4f - 1) =2(t - l)[2(t - 1) +4t- 1] =2(t - 1)(6( - 3) =6(t- )(2t - 1). Thus, the key values are t = and ( = 0.5. When t>, v>Q; when 0.5<«1, v<0; when f<0.5, v>0. Thus, the particle is moving right when f<0.5 and when t>l. It is moving left when 0.5 < t< 1. So it changes direction when t =0.5 and when t = 1. To find out what the particle'smaximum speed is when it is moving left, note that the speed is v. Hence, when v is negative, as it is when the particle is moving left, the maximum speed is attained when the velocity reaches its absolute minimum. Now, D,v = 6[2(t- l) + 2f-l] = 6(4f-3), and D2 v =24>0. Hence, by the second derivative test, v reaches an absolute minimum when t =0.75 hour. When t =0.75, i; = -0.75mi/h. So the desired maximum speed is 0.75 mi/h. 17.15 Under the assumptions of Problem 17.14, what is the total distance traveled by the particle from t =0 to f = l ? I The problem cannot be solved bysimplyfindingthe difference between the particle's positions at t = 1 and t = 0, because it is movingin different directions duringthat period. We must add the distance dr traveled while it is moving right (from t = 0 to t = 0.5) to the distance de traveled while it is moving left (from t = 0.5 to r=l). Now, dr =i(0.5) -s(0) = 0.25 -(-!) = 1.25. Similarly, dt =s(0.5) - s(l) = 0.25 -0 = 0.25. Thus, the total distance is 1.5 miles. 17.16 A particle moves along the A:-axis according to the equation x = Wt - 2t2 . What isthe total distance covered by the particle between t =0 and t =3?
  • 142. RECTILINEAR MOTION 0 135 I The velocity i> = D,x = 10-4t. Thus, v>0 when t<2.5, and u < 0 when t>2.5. Hence, the particle is moving right for t < 2.5 and it is moving left for t > 2.5. The distance dr that it covers while it is moving right from t =0 to < = 2.5 is *(2.5) -;t(0) = 12.5 -0= 12.5. The distance de that it coverswhile it is moving left from t =2.5 to t = 3 is *(2.5) - x(3) = 12.5 - 12 = 0.5. Hence, the total distance is d, + </, = 12.5 + 0.5 = 13. 17.17 A rocket was shot straight up from the ground. What must its initial velocity have been if it returned to earth in 20 seconds? I Its height s = s0 + v0t —16f2 . In this case, s0 = 0 and v0 is unknown, so s = v0t — 16t2 . We are told that s =0 when t =20. Hence, 0 = va(20) -16(20)2 , u0 = 320ft/s. 17.18 Two particles move along the x-axis. Their positions f(t) and g(t) are given by f(t) =6t —t2 and g(t) = t2 —4t. (a) When do they have the same position? (ft) When do they have the same velocity? (c) When they have the same position, are they moving in the same direction? I (a) Set 6t-t2 =t2 -4t. Then t2 -5t =0, t(t-5) =0, t =0 or f = 5. (ft) The velocities are f'(t) =6-2t and g'(t) =2t-4. Setting 6-2t =2t-4, we have t =2.5. (c) When they meet at t = 0, f ' ( t ) = f ' ( 0 ) = 6 and g'(t) = g'(0)=-4. Since /'(O) and g'(0) have opposite signs, they are moving in opposite directions when t = 0. When they meet at t = 5, f'(t)=f'(5)=-4 and g'(t) = g'(5) = 6. Hence, when t =5, they are moving in opposite directions. 17.19 A particle moves along thex-axis according totheequation x= j/3 - cos 2t +3.5. Find thedistance traveled between t =0 and t = ir/2. I The velocity v = t2 +sin2t. For Q<t<irl2, sin2f>0, and, therefore, u>0. Hence, the particle moves right between t = 0 and t = IT 12. So the distance traveled is x(irl2) - x(0) = (tr3 /24 + 4) - 3= 7T3 /24+l. 17.20 A ball is thrown vertically into the air so that its height s after t seconds is given by maximum height. 17.21 A particle moving along a straight line is accelerating at the constant rate of 3 m/s2 . Find the initial velocity va if the displacement during the first two seconds is 10m. I The acceleration a = D,v=3. Hence, v =3t+C. When f = 0, v = v0. So C = v0. Thus, v = 3t+v0, but v = D,s. So s = t2 + v0t + K. When t =0, s = s0, the initial position, so K = sa. Thus, s = t2 + v0t + s0. The displacement during the first two seconds is s(2) - s(Q) = (6 + 2v0 + s0) —s0 = 6 +2v0. Hence, 6 + 2u0 = 10, i;0 = 2m/s. 17.22 A particle moving on a line is at position s = t3 —6t2 + 9t —4 at time t. At which time(s) t, if any, does it change direction? I v = D,s =3t2 -I2t +9 =3(t2 -4t +3) =3(t- l)(f-3). Since the velocity changes sign at (=1 and t = 3, the particle changes direction at those times. 17.23 A ball is thrown vertically upward. Its height 5 (in feet) after t seconds is given by s = 40t —I6t2 . Find (a) when the ball hits the ground, (ft)the instantaneous velocity at t = 1, (c) the maximum height. I v =D,s =40- 32t, D2 s = -32. (a) Tofindout when the ball hits the ground, we set s = 40t - 16(2 =0. Then t = 0 or f = 2.5. So the ball hits the ground .after 2.5 seconds, (ft) When t = l, u = 8ft/s. (c) Set i>=40 — 32t = 0. Then f = 1.25. Since the second derivative is negative, this unique critical number yields an absolute maximum. When f=1.25, s = 25ft. 17.24 A diver jumps off a springboard 10 feet above water with an initial upward velocity of 12ft/s. Find (a) her maximum height, (ft)when she will hit the water, (c) her velocity when she hits the water. Setting we obtain Since the second derivative is negative, we must have a relative maximumat t = 9, and, since that is the unique critical number, it must be an absolute maximum. At t = 9, 5 = 9. Find its Dts=0
  • 143. A stone is dropped from the roof of a building 256ft high. Two seconds later a second stone is thrown downward from the roof of the same building with an initial velocity of v0 ft/s. If both stones hit the ground at the same time, what is v0l I For the first stone, j = 256 - I6t2 . It hits the ground when 0= s - 256 - 16?2 , t2 = 16, t =4 seconds. Since the second stone was thrown 2 seconds later than the first and hit the ground at the same time as the first, the second stone's flight took 2 seconds. So, for the second stone, 0 = 256+ va(2) - 16(2)2 , v0 = -192 ft/s. 17.32. 17.31 A woman standing on a bridge throws a stone straight up. Exactly 5 seconds later the stone passes the woman on the way down, and 1second after that it hits the water below. Find the initial velocity of the stone and the height of the bridge above the water. 17.30 17.29 From Problem 17.27, we know that the object hits the ground u0/16 seconds after it was thrown. Hence, With what velocity must an object be thrown straight up from the ground in order to reach a maximumheight of h feet? With what velocity must an object be thrown straight up from the ground in order for it to hit the ground ?0 seconds later? I By Problem 17.27, the object hits the ground after i>0/16 seconds. At that time, v = v0 —32? = va — 32(i>0/16) = —DO. Thus, the velocity when it hits the ground is the negative of the initial velocity, and, therefore, the speeds are the same. 17.28 Under the conditions of Problem 17.27, show that the object hits the ground with the same speed at which it was initially thrown. I s = s0 +v0t - I6t2 . In this case, s0 = 0. So s = v0t - 16?2 , v = D,s= v0-32t, a = D,v = D2 s = -32. So the unique critical number is t = i>0/32, and, since the second derivative is negative, this yields the maximum height. Thus, the time of the upward flight is i>0/32. The object hits the ground again when s = v0t — I6t2 = 0, v0 = 16?, t = u0/16. Hence, the total time of the flight was i>0/16, and half of that time, i>0/32, was used up in the upward flight. Hence, the time taken on the way down was also D0/32. 17.27 f Since she is moving only under the influence of gravity,her height s = s0 + v0t —16?2 . In this case, sa =10 and va = 12. So 5 = 10 + 12? - 16?2, v = D,s = 12 - 32?, D2s = -32. (a) Setting v=Q, we obtain t = 0.375. Since the second derivative is negative, this unique critical number yields an absolute maximum. When ?= 0.375, s = 16.75 ft. (ft) To find when she hits the water, set s = 10+ 12? - 16r2 =0. So (5- 40(1 + 20 = 0, and, therefore, she hits the water at ?= 1.25 seconds, (c) At ?= 1.25, c=-28ft/s. A ball is thrown vertically upward. Its height s (in feet) after t seconds is given by s - 48? - 16?2 . For which values of ?will the height exceed 32 feet? I We must have 48?-16?2 >32, 3?-?2 >2, ?2 -3? + 2<0, (?-2)(?-1) <0. The latter inequality holds precisely when 1< ? < 2. The distance a locomotive is from a fixed point on a straight track at time ?is given by s = 3?4 - 44?3 + 144?2 . When was it in reverse? I u = D,s = 12?3 -132?2 + 288?=12?(?2 -ll? + 24)= 12?(?-3)(?-8). The locomotive goes backwards when v<0. Clearly, v>0 when ?>8; u < 0 when 3<?<8; v>Q when 0<?<3; v <0 when t < 0. Thus, it was in reverse when 3 < ?< 8 (and, if we allow negative time, when ?< 0). An object is thrown straight up from the ground with an initial velocity v0 ft/s. Show that the time taken on the upward flight is equal to the time taken on the way down. 136 CHAPTER 17 17.25 17.26 I The height of the stone s =sa + v0t— I6t2 , where sa is the height of the bridge above the water. When t =5, s =s0. So sa = s0 + v0(5) - 16(5)2 , 5i;0 = 400, u0 = 80ft/s. Hence, 5 = s0 +SOt - 16t2 . When t =6, s=0. So 0 = s0 + 80(6) - 16(6)2 , s0 = 96ft. f From Problem 17.27, we know that the object reaches its maximum height after i>0/32 seconds. When t=va/32, s = vat-16t2 = v2 0/64. Hence, h = v2 0/64, v0 = 8VK. f0 = i;0/16, U0 = 16V

At the same time another object is thrown straight down from a height 50 ft above the ground. Both objects hit the ground at the same time. Find the initial velocity of the second object. I For the first object, s =25- I6t2 . When s =0, t = f. For the second object, 5= 50+ vnt - 16t2 . Since the second object also hits the ground after f seconds, If the position s of an object movingon a straight line is given by show that its velocity is positive, and its acceleration is negative and proportional to the cube of the velocity.

Thus, y = 6x2 + x +1 is the equation of the curve. 19.34 A particle moves along the *-axis with acceleration a = 2r-3ft/s2 . At time t =0 it is at the origin and moving with a speed of 4ft/s in the positive direction. Find formulas for its velocity v and position s, and determine where it changes direction and where it is moving to the left. D,v = a=2t- 3. So, v = J (2t-3) dt = t2 - 3t + C. Since v =4 when t = 0, C = 4. Thus, v = t2 -3t +4. Since v = D,s, s = J (t2 -3t + 4) dt = ^t3 - t2 +4t + C,. Since s=0 when f = 0, C,=0. Thus, 5 = |?3 —t2 + 4t. Changes of direction occur where 5 reaches a relative maximum or minimum. To look for critical numbers for 5, we set v = 0. The quadratic formula shows that v = 0 has no real roots. [Alternatively, note that t2 —3/ +4= (t- | )2 + J > 0.] Hence, theparticle never changes direction. Sinceit is moving to the right at t = 0, it always moves to the right. 19.35 Rework Problem 19.34when the acceleration a = t2 - " ft/s2 . v = S(t2 -¥)dt=$t3 -%t+C. Since u = 4 when t =0, C = 4. Thus, u = | f 3 - f r + 4. Then s = fvdt= |-|f4 - ¥ • ^2 + 4/+C, = T^4 -fr2 + 4f+C,. Since s =0 when t = 0, C=0. Thus, s = n/4 -T*2 + 4f. To find critical numbers for s, we set i> = 0, obtaining t3 - 13^ + 12= 0. Clearly, f = l isa root. Dividing t3 -13t+l2 by f-1, we obtain t2 + t- 12 = (t +4)(t -3). Thus, r = 3 and f =-4 also are critical numbers. When t =, D2 i = a = -^<0. Hence, s has a relative maximum at t = . Similarly, a= ">0 when t = 3, and,therefore, 5 has a relative minimum at t = 3; a = T > 0 when t = -4, and, therefore, s hasa relative minimumat t= -4. Hence, the particle changes direction at t= -4, t = 1, and f = 3. It moves left for t< -4, where it reaches a minimum;it moves right from t= —4 to t=l, where it reaches a maximum; it moves left from t = to f = 3, where it reaches a minimum;then it moves right for f > 3. 19.36 A motorist applies the brakes on a car moving at 45 miles per hour on a straight road, and the brakes cause a constant deceleration of 22 ft/s . In how many seconds will the car stop, and how many feet will the car have traveled after the time the brakes were applied? Let t = 0 be the time the brakes were applied, let the positive s direction be the direction that the car was traveling, and let the origin 5 = 0 be the point at which the brakes were applied. Then the acceleration a =—22. So, v = J a dt= -22t+ C. The velocity at t = 0 was 45mi/h, which is the same as 66ft/s: Hence, C = 66. Thus, v = ~22t + 66. Then s = J v dt = -llr + 66f + C,. Since .$ = 0 when t-0, C, =0 and s = -llt2 +66t. The car stops when v=0, that is, when t =3. At t =3, s= 99. So, the car stops in 3 seconds and travels 99 feet during that time. 19.37 A particle moving on a straight line has acceleration a = 5 —3t, and its velocity is 7 at time t = 2. lts(t)s the distance from the origin, find 5(2) — s(l). v =$adt =5t-ll2 + C. Since the velocity is 7 when t =2, 7 = 10-6+C, C = 3. So, v = 5t - |<2 + 3. Then s = t2 - JV3 + 3r + C,. Hence, s(2)=12+C,, s(l) = 5 + Ct, and s(2)-s(l) =7. 19.38 Find an equation of the curve passing through the point (3, 2) and having slope 2x2 —5 at any point (x, y). D:cy =2x2 -5. Hence, y = I*3 -5x + C. Since (3, 2) ison the curve, 2= |(3)3 -5(3) + C, C = - l . Thus, y = |jc3 - 5x —1 is an equation of the curve. 19.39 A particle is moving along a line with acceleration a = sin2r+ t2 ft/s2 . At time / = 0, its velocity is 3ft/s. What is the distance between the particle's location at time t = 0 and its location at time t = ir/2, and what is the particle's speed at time / = tr/21 v =J adt= - cos2f + j/3 + C. Since v =3 when f = 0, C = 3. Thus, v = - cos2/ + f + 3. Hence, at time t=-rr/2, v = - cos IT + |(7r/2)3 + 3 = + w3/24. Its position s = J i; dt = - sin2r + ^- Jf4 + 3f+C, = -Jsin2;+ i(4 + 3f+C,. Then j(0) = Cl and i(w/2) = - | sin TT + A(^/2)4 + 3(7r/2)+d. Hence, 5(77/2) - s(O) = (77"+2887r)/192. ANTIDERIVATIVES (INDEFINITE INTEGRALS) 145

Find the total distance traveled in the period from t = 1 to t =4. v = (t-2)(t + 1). Hence, u = 0 when t =2 or /=-!. Since a = D,v =2t-l is equal to 3 when t = 2, the position s of the particle is a relative minimumwhen t =2. So, the particle moves to the left from t= to t = 2, and to the right from t = 2 to / = 4. Now, 5 = J v dt = $t* - ^t2 - 2t + C. By direct computation, s(l) = -•£ + C, s(2) = - f + C and s(4) = f + C. Hence, the distance traveled from t=l to t = 2 is s(l) - s(2) = I and the distance traveled from t = 2 to f = 4 is |s(2)- s(4)| = T. Thus, the total distance traveled is f. 19.42 Evaluate 19.43 Find J esc6 x cot x dx. Let K = CSCX. Then du =-cscx cotx dx.

How long does it take the ship to reach the speed of light and how far does it travel during that time? v = J a dt = J 18/ dt = 9r + C. Let r = 0 be the time at which the ship begins to accelerate. Then y = 36,000 when t = 0, and, therefore, C = 36,000. Setting 9r + 36,000 = 180,000, we find that t2 = 16,000, r = 40VTO.

Fig. 22-27 22.51 Same as Problem 22.50, but the planar cross section is a square. The area A(x) of the dashed square in Fig. 22-27 is 4(r2 - x2 ). Hence the volume will be S/TT times that found in Problem 22.50, or 16r3 /3. 22.52 Same as Problem 22.50, except that the planar cross section is an isosceles right triangle with its hypotenuse on the base. 22.53 Find the volume of a solid whose base is the region in the first quadrant bounded by the line 4x + 5y = 20 and the coordinate axes, if every planar section perpendicular to the x-axis is a semicircle (Fig. 22-28). The radius of the semicircle is |(5-x), and its area ^W 's> therefore, ^Tr(5-x)2. By the cross- section formula, V= %tr J (5 - x)2 dx = £TT(- $)(5 - x)1 }50 = - ^| (5 - x)3 ]« = - jj (0 - 125) = 2077/3 . 0 5 Fig. 22-28 Fig. 22-29 22.54 The base of a solid is the circle x2 + y2 = 16*, and every planar section perpendicular to the jr-axis is arectangle whose height is twice the distance of the plane of the section from the origin. Find the volume of the solid. Refer to Fig. 22-29. By completingthe square, we see that the equation of the circle is (x - 8)2 + yz =64. So, the center is (8,0) and the radius is 8. The height of each rectangle is 2x, and its base is 2y = 2V64 - (A- - 8)2 . So, the area A(x) is 4x^/64 - (x - 8)2 . By the cross-section formula, V=4 J0 16 jc[64 - (;t-8)2 ]"2 dx.

The integrand in the second summand is the area, 3277, of a semicircle of radius 8 (by Problem 20.71). Hence, V= 32(327r) = 102477. 22.55 The section of a certain solid cut by any plane perpendicular to the jc-axis is a square with the ends of a diagonal lying on the parabolas y2 =9x and x2 =9y (seeFig. 22-30). Find its volume. The parabolas intersect at (0,0) and (9,9). The diagonal d of the square is 3*"2 - §jt2 = $(27;c"2 - x2 ). Then the area of thesquare is A(x) = d2 = ^[(27)2 x - 54x5 '2 + x4 ], andthecross-section formula yields the volume K= jfe /0 9 [(27)2 * - 54jc5 '2 + x4 ] dx = Tfe((27)2 • {x2 - ^x"2 + i*5 ) ft = |(81)2 . Let the *-axis be the fixed diameter, with the center of the circle as the origin. Then the radius of the semicircle at abscissa x is V/-2 - x2 (seeFig.22-27), and,therefore, its area A(x) is TT(T* - x1 ). The cross-section formula yields V= '_r A(x) dx = ±TT fr _r (r2 - x2 ) dx = ±ir(r2 x - $x3 ) ]r _r = ±ir[(r3 - ^r3 ) - (-r*+$r3 )}=t7rr The area A(x) of the dashed triangle in Fig. 22-27 (which is inscribed in the semicircle) is j(2Vr2 - A-2 )(Vr - x2 ) =r2 - x2 .

For each x, y =x tan 30° = (1A/3)*. Hence, the side of the square is 2y = (2/V3)x and its area is A= x2 . Hence, the cross-section formula yields Fig. 22-31 Fig. 22-32 22.58 What volume is obtained when the area bounded by the line y =x and the parabola y = x2 is rotated about the bounding line? Refer to Fig. 22-32. The required volume is given by the disk formula as V = TT J0 2 r2 ds; so our strategy will be to find r2 and s as functions of x, and then to change the integration variable from s to x.

(K is called the growth constant or decay constant, depending on whether it is positive or negative.) Show that y = y0eKt , where ya is the value of y at time t = 0. Hence, yleKl is a constant C, y= CeKl . When ( = 0, y0=Ce° = C. Thus, y = y0eKl . A bacteria culture grows exponentially so that the initial number has doubled in 3 hours. How many times the initial number will be present after 9 hours? Let y be the number of bacteria. Then y = y0eKl . By the given information, 2y0 = y0e*K , 2 = e}K , In 2 = In e3 * = 3K, K = (ln2)/3. When f = 9, y =y0e9K = y0e^"2 = y0(ela2 )3 =ya -23 = 8y0. Thus, the initial number has been multiplied by 8. A certain chemical decomposes exponentially. Assume that 200grams becomes 50grams in 1hour. How much will remain after 3 hours? Let y be the number of grams present at time t. Then y = yneKl . The given information tells us that 50 = 200eK , 3.125 grams. Show that, when a quantity grows or decays exponentially, the rate of increase over a fixed time interval is constant (that is, it depends only on the time interval, not on the time at which the interval begins). The formula for the quantity is y = y0eKl . Let A be a fixed time interval, and let t be any time. Then y(t + A)/y(0 = yaeK( '+ ^/y0eK> = e*A , which does not depend on t. If the world population in 1980 was 4.5 billion and if it is growing exponentially with a growth constant K = 0.04 In 2, find the population in the year 2030. Let y be the population in billions in year t, with t = 0 in 1980. Then y = 4.5e°04<ln 2) '. In 2030, when , = 50, y =4.5e°04<ln 2) '50 = 4.5(e'n 2 )2 = 4.5(2)2 = 18billion people. If a quantityy grows exponentiallywith a growth constant K and if duringeach unit of time there is an increase in y of r percent, find the relationship between K and r. If a population is increasing exponentiallyat the rate of 2 percent per year, what will be the percentage increase over a period of 10 years? In the notation of Problem 26.6, r = 2, K- In (1.02) = 0.0198 (by a table of logarithms). Hence, after 10 (usine a table for the exponential function). Hence, over 10 years, there will be an increase of about 21.9 percent. years, y =y0e" = y0e'u """"u = y0e" "° ~ (1.219)j>0 If an amount of money v0 is invested at a rate of r percent per year, compounded n times per year, what is the amount of money that will be available after k years?

An amount of money ya earning r percent per year is compounded continuously (that is, assume that it is compounded n times per year, and then let n approach infinity).

If we let n approach infinity, we get (Here we have used Problem 24.74.) Thus, the money grows exponentially, with growth *,(«"IOO )* = */-0 "*. constant K =0.0lr. If an amount of money earning 8 percent per year is compounded quarterly,what is the equivalent yearly rate of return? By Problem 26.8, the amount present after 1 year will be Thus, the equivalent yearly rate is 8.24 percent. If an amount of money earning 8 percent per year is compounded 10times per year, what is the equivalent yearly rate of return? By Problem 26.8, the amount after 1 year will be .y0(H-Tggg)10 = 3>0(1.008)IO = 1.0829>>. Thus, the equivalent yearly rate is 8.29 percent. If an amount of money receiving interest of 8 percent per year is compounded continuously, what is the equivalent yearly rate of return? By Problem 26.9, the amount after 1 year will be yae° °8 , which, by a table of values of e*, is approximately l.OS33y0. Hence, the equivalent yearly rate is about 8.33 percent. A sum of money, compounded continuously,is multipliedby 5 in 8 years. If it amounts to $10,000 after 24 years, what was the initial sum of money? Hence, the initial quantityy0 was 80 dollars. If a quantity of money, earning interest compounded continuously, is worth 55 times the initial amount after 100 years, what was the yearly rate of interest? By Problem 26.9, is the percentage rate of interest, ya is the initial amount, and k is the number of years. Then, and, by a table of logarithms, Hence, Thus, the rate is approximately 4 percent per year. In Assume that a quantity y decays exponentially, with a decay constant K. The half-life Tis defined to be the time interval after which half of the original quantity remains. Find the relationship between K and T. y = y0eK> . By definition, The half-life of radium is 1690years. If 10 percent of an original quantity of radium remains, how long ago was the radium created? Let y be the number of grams of radium t years after the radium was created. Then y = y0eKl , where 1690K = -In 2, by Problem 26.15. If at the present time then Thus, the radium was created about 5614yearsago. Hence, -(In2/1690)f = -In 10, t= 1690 In 10/ln 2 = 5614.477. If radioactive carbon-14 has a half-life of 5750 years, what will remain of 1 gram after 3000 years? We know that Since and Thus, about 0.7 gram will remain. (from a table for e *). The amount of carbon is If 20 percent of a radioactive element disappears in 1 year, compute its half-life. Let yn be the original amount, and let T be the half-life. Then 0.8y0 remains when t = 1. Thus, 0.&y0 =y0e, 0.8 = eK , K = In 0.8 « -0.2231 (from a table of logarithms). But KT = -In 2= -0.6931. So -0.2231T= -0.6931, 7=3.1067 years. Fruit flies are being bred in an enclosure that can hold a maximum of 640 flies. If the flies multiplyexponentially, with a growthconstant K = 0.05 and where time is measured in days, how long will it take an initial population of 20 to fill the enclosure? So By the formula of Problem 26.9, y = y0e0 'airk , where r is the rate of interest and k is the number of years. Hence, 5y0 =y0e°'"*', 5 = e°08 '.

The number of bacteria in a certain culture is growing exponentially. If 100bacteria are present initiallyand 400 are present after 1 hour, how many bacteria are present after 31 hours? The growth equation is y = 100eKt . The given information tells us that 400= 100eK , 4 = eK . At t = 3.5, y = !OOe3iK = 100(e*)3 5 = 100(4)7 '2 = 100(2)7 = 100(128) = 12,800. A certain radioactive substance has a half-life of 3 years. If 10 grams are present initially, how much of the substance remains after 9 years? Since 9 years is three half-lifes, ( )3 10 = 1.25 grams will remain. If y represents the amount by which the temperature of a body exceeds that of the surrounding air, then the rate at which y decreases is proportional to y (Newton's law of cooling). Ify was initially 8 degrees and was 7 degrees after 1 minute, what will it be after 2 minutes? Since D,y = Ky, y = y0eK> = 8eKl . The given facts tell us that 7 = 8eK , eK =. When f = 2, y = 8e2K =8(eK )2 = 8(I)2 = 6.125 degrees. When a condenser is discharging electricity, the rate at which the voltage V decreases is proportional to V. If the decay constant is K = -0.025, per second, how long does it take before V has decreased to one-quarter of its initial value? V=V0e~°-025 '. When V is one-quarter of its initial value, V0 = V0e'0 '025 ', =e~°-025 ', -0.025f = In J = -In 4 =-2 In 2 = -1.3862. Hence, f = 55.448. The massy of a growingsubstance is 7(5)' gramsafter t minutes.

If the population of Latin America has a doubling time of 27 years, by what percent does it grow per year? The population y = y0eKl . By the given information, 2y0 = y0e27K , 2=e27A: , eK = V2« 1.0234. By the solution to Problem 26.6, the percentage increase per year r =100(e* -1) = 100(1.0234 - 1)= 2.34. If in 1980 the population of the United States was 225 millionand increasing exponentially with a growth constant of 0.007, and the population of Mexico was 62 million and increasing exponentially with a growth constant of 0.024, when will the two populations be equal if they continue to grow at the same rate?

How many pounds of salt remain in the tank after 30 minutes? Let y be the number of pounds of salt in the mixture at time t. Since the concentration of salt at any given time is y/400 pounds per gallon, and 20 gallons flow out per minute, the rate at which y is diminishing is 20-y/400 = 0.05y pounds per minute. Hence, Dty = —0.05y, and, thus, y is decaying exponentially with a decay constant of-0.05. Hence, y = 100e~° °5 '. So, after 30 minutes, y = WOe'15 = 100(0.2231) = 22.31 pounds.

If the population continues to increase exponentially,with a growth constant K = 0.02 and withtime measured in years, in what year will the weight of all people equal the weightof the earth, if we assume that the average person weighs 120 pounds? 26.38 26.39 26.40 26.41 26.42 26.43 A radioactive substance decays exponentially. What is the average quantity present over the first half-life? But by Problem 26.15, AT =-In 2. Hence, If money is invested at 5 percent, compounded continuously, in how many years will it double in value? Show that if interest is compounded continuouslyat an annual percentage r the effective annualpercentage rate of interest is 100(e°Olr - 1). Let s be the effective annual percentage rate. Then y0e°'olr = y0(l +0.01s). So e°'olr = 1+ 0.01s, 0.01s = eo o l r -l, s = 100(eoolr -l). 2y0 =y0e°-05 ', by Problem 26.9. So 2 = e005 ', 0.05/ = ln2, t =20 In 2 = 20(0.6931) = 13.862. Thus, the money will double in a little less than 13 years and 315 days. An object cools from 120 to 95°F in half an hour when surrounded by air whose temperature is 70°F. Use Newton's law of cooling (Problem 26.22) to find its temperature at the end of another half an hour. The earth weighs 6.586 x 1021 x 2000 pounds. When this is equal to the weight of y billion people, 120x 10"y = 6.586 x 1021 x 2000, or y = l.lxl014 . Thus we must solve 1.1 x 1014 = 3.6e002 ' for (. Taking logarithms, In 1.1 + 14 In 10= In 3.6 + 0.02f, 0.02f = 31.05, t*= 1552.5 years. The date would be 1970 + 1552 = 3522. Let y be the difference in temperature between the object and the air. By Newton's law, y = y0eKt . When t = , Since y0 = 120 -70 = 50, y = 50e . At y = 50e* = 50 Hence, the temperature of the object is 70 + 12.5 = 82.5°F. What is the present value of a sum of money whichif invested at 5 percent interest, continuously compounded, will become $1000 in 10 years? Let y be the value of the money at time t, and let y0 be its present value. Then, by Problem 26.9, y = y0e005 '. In 10 years, 1000 = y0e°05(10) = y0e05 . So y0 = 1000/e05 = 1000/1.64872 = 606.53. Hence, the present value is about $606.53. y = y«eK'- We are told that y = 2ya when t-l. Hence, 2y0 = y0e*, 2 = eK. If we start with 1000, we obtain a billion when 109 = 10V, 106 = (eK )' = 2', ln(106 ) = f In2, 6In 10= fin2, t = (6 In 10)/ln 2 = 6(2.3026)/0.6931«19.9 hours. so

In general, the vector P,P2 from />,(*,, ;y,) to P2(x2, y,) is (*2-.v,, y2-yt). 33.2 Given vectors A = (2,4) and C = (-3,8), find A + C, A-C, and 3A. By componentwise addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication, A + C = (2 + (—3), 4 + 8) = (—1.12), A-C = (2-(-3), 4-8) = (5,-4), and 3A = (3-2, 3-4) = (6, 12). 33.3 Given A = 3i + 4j and C = 2i-j, find the magnitude and direction of A + C. A + C = 5i + 3j. Therefore, |A + C| = V(5)2 + (3)2 = V34. If S is the angle made by A + C with the positive *-axis, tan 0 = f. From a table of tangents, 0 = 30°58'. 33.4 Describe a method for resolving a vector A into components A, and A2 that are,respectively, parallel and perpendicular to a given nonzero vector B. A = A , + A 2 , Aj=cB, A2 -B = 0. So, A2 = A- A, = A- cB, 0 = A2 -B = (A - cB) •B= A - B - c|B|. Hence, c = (A-B)/|B|2 . Therefore, A: = B, and A2 = A- cB= A - B. Here, (A-B)/|B| is the scalarprojection of A on B, and = A, is the vector projection of A on B. 33.5 Resolve A = (4,3) into components A, and A2 that are, respectively, parallel and perpendicular to B = (3,1). From Problem 33.4 c = (A-B)/|B|2 = [(4-3) + (3-1)/10] = 3. So, A, = cB = |(3,1) = (f, f) and A2 = A-A1 = (4,3)-(l,|) = (-i,l). 33.6 Show that the vector A = (a,fe) is perpendicular to the line ax + by + c = 0. Let P,(AT,, _y,) and P2(x2, y2) be two points on the line. Then ax, + byt + c = 0 and ox, + by2 + c = 0. By subtraction, a(jc, -x2) +b(yl - y2) = 0, or (a, b) • (xl - x2, yl - y2) =0. Thus, (a, b) •P,P, = 0, (a, 6)1P2Pt- (Recall that two nonzero vectors are perpendicular to each other if and only if their dot product is 0.) Hence, (a, b) is perpendicular to the line. 33.7 Use vector methods to find an equation of the line M through the point P,(2, 3) that is perpendicular to the line L:jt + 2.y + 5 = 0. _By Problem 33.6, A = (1,2) is perpendicular to the line L. Let P(x, y) be any point on the line M. P,P =(x-2, y-3) is parallel to M. So, (x -2, y - 3) = c(l, 2) for some scalar c. Hence, x-2 =c, y - 3 = 2c. So, >>-3 = 2(x-2), y = 2x-l. 33.8 Use vector methods to find an equation of the line N through the points P,(l,4) and P2(3, —2). Let P(x,y) be any point onJV. Then P,P = (x -JU y -4) and P,P2 = (3-1,-2-4) = (2,-6). Clearly, (6,2) is perpendicular to P,P2, and, therefore, to P,P. Thus, 0 = (6, 2)• (x - 1, y - 4) = 6(x - 1) + 2( y - 4) = 6x +2y - 14.

At 0 = ir/4, dxldt=-a, dy/dO = a, giving as tangent vector (-a, a) = —a(l,-1). So the normal line has equation x —y + c = 0.

Thus, d2 y/dx2 >Q if and only if f(t + l)>0.

So, dy/dx = (3t2 + l)/4f. The slope ofthe line * + y + 3 = 0 is-1, and, therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to it is 1. Thus, we must have dy/dx = 1, (3t2 + l)/4t = 1, 3t2 +l =4t, 3f2 -4r+l=0, (3t- l)(f- 1)= 0, t=, or t =l.

Show that, wherever T(t) * 0, the principal unit normal vector N= TV |T| isperpendicular toT. The argument of Problem 34.59 applies to any differentiable vector function. Therefore, T •T' = 0, which in turn implies T-N = 0 wherever N is defined (i.e., wherever |T'| >0). 34.82 Show that the principal unit normal vector N(f) (Problem 34.81) points in the direction in whichT(f) is turning as t increases.

If we place T(f + At) and T(f) with their tails at the origin, AT is the vector from the head of T(f) to the head of 1(t + Af). Figure 34-16 shows that AT points in the direction in which T is turning (to the right in this case). Fig.34-16 34.83 If R(t) = (r cos t, r sin t), where t represents time, show that the principal unit normal vector N(f) has the same direction as the acceleration vector. R'(<) = K-sin t, cos t) and |R'(Ol = '• So, T(f) = R'/|R'| = (-sin t, cost). Hence, T'(0 = (~cos/, -sinf) and |T'(Ol = 1. Thus, N(r) =T'(0 = -(cos r.sin t) = - - R. In this case, by Problem 34.74, N(f) has the same direction as the acceleration vector. Note that N(f) is pointing in the direction in which T(f) is turning, that is, "inside" the curve. 34.84 Compute N(f) for the curve R(t) = (2 cos t2 ,2 sin f2 ). Thus, So, |R'(OI=4|<|.

Use the same notation as in Problem 34.87. Let N*(/) be the principal unit normal vector on the reversed curve S(0- Since T*(t) =-T(-t), -r T*(f) =T(-t), by the chain rule. Hence, Thus, the principal unit vector is not changed by reversing the direction along a curve. 34.89 Let </> be the angle between the velocity vector and the positive ;t-axis. Show that dT/dd> = 1. Since T is a unit vector in the same direction as the velocity vector, dT/d<t> = (-sin<f>, cos<f>) and dT/d<l> = 1. T = (cos <£, sin <t>).

This is simply the line through the polar axis, or the x-axis in rectangular coordinates. 35.12 Write a polar equation for the y-axis. 0 - ir/2 yields the line perpendicular to the polar axis and going through the pole, which is the y-axis. 35.13 Describe the graph of the polar equation r = 2 sinft Multiplying both sides by r, we obtain r2 = 2rsin0, x2 +y2 =2y, x2 +y2 - 2y = 0, x2 + (y - I)2 =1.

Setting dy/d6 =Q, we find (1 + cos 6) cos 6 =sin2 6, cos 0 +cos2 6 = 1-cos2 0, 2 cos2 6 +cos 0 - 1= 0, (2cos0 - l)(cos 0 +1) = 0, cos0 = or cos0 = -1. Hence, we get the critical numbers it, ir/3,5ir/3. If we calculate y for these values and for the.endpoints 0 and 2ir, the largest value 3V3/2 is assumed when 0 = ir/3. Find all points of intersection of the curves r = I + sin2 0 and r= —1—sin2 0. If we try to solve the equations simultaneously, we obtain 2 sin2 0 = -2, sin2 0 = -1, which is never satisfied. However, there are,in fact, infinitely many points of intersection because the curves are identical. Assume (r,0) satisfies r=l+sin2 0. The point (r, 6) is identical with the point (-l-sin2 0, 6 + TT), which satisfies the equation r=-l-sin2 0 [because sin2 (0 + IT) = sin2 01. Find the points of intersection of the curves r = 4 cos 0 and r = 4V5sin 0. For the same (r, 0), 4V3sin 0 = 4cos 0, tan0 = l/V3, and, therefore, 0 = 77/6 or 6=7ir/6. So, these points of intersection are (2V3, trl6) and (-2V5,7ir/6). However, notice that these points are identical. So, we have just one point of intersection thus far. Considering intersection points where (r, 0) satisfies one equation and (-r, 0 + IT) satisfies the other equation, we obtain no new solutions. However, observe that both curves pass through the pole. Hence, this is a second point of intersection. (The curves are actually two intersecting circles.) Find the points of intersection of the curves r = V2 sin 0 and r2 = cos20. Solving simultaneously, we have 2 sin2 0 = cos20, 2 sin2 0 = 1-2 sin2 0, 4 sin2 0 = 1, sin2 0 = J, sin0 = ±|.

However, thefirstand third of these points are identical, as are the second and fourth. So, we have obtained two intersection points. If we use (r, 0) for the first equation and (-r, 0 + IT) for the second equation, we obtain the same pair of equations as before.

Show that this is not so. When A reaches T's starting point, 100s have passed and T has moved 0.01 x 100= 1ft. A covers that additional 1ft in O.ls, but Thas moved 0.01 x 0.1 =0.001 ft further. A needs 0.0001 s to cover that distance, but T meanwhile has moved 0.01 x 0.0001 = 0.000001 ft; and so on. The limit of the distance between A and T approaches 0. The time involved is 100 + 0.1 + 0.0001 + 0.0000001 + •• • , which is a geometric series with firstterm a = 100 and ratio r=-^. Its sumis 100/(1 - Tm). Thus, Achilles catches up with (and then passes) the tortoise in a little over 100s, just as we knew he would. The seeming paradox arises from the artificial division of the event into infinitely many shorter and shorter steps. A rubber ball falls from an initial height of 10m; whenever it hits the ground, it bounces up two-thirds of the previous height. What is the total distance covered by the ball before it comes to rest? The distance is 10+ 2[10(§) + 10(|)? + 10(|)3 + •••].

The radius from the center to the point of tangency on the yz-plane must be perpendicular to that plane. Hence, the radius must lie on the jt-axis and the point of tangency must be the origin.

Hence, we obtain 2A-(BxC), since B-(C x A)= (BxC)-A by Problem 40.55. Prove (A x B) •(C x D) = (A•C)(B •D) - (A•D)(B •C). A x B = (a2b, - a3b2, a3bl - atb,, atb2 - a2bt) and C x D = (c2d3 - c3d2, c3dl - ctd3, ctd2 - c2dt).

The other cases are handled similarly. since V3 is Show that K,-V, = 1 for i = 1,2,3. (For the notation, see Problem 40.65.) The other cases are similar. If A = (2,-3,1) is normal to one plane S> 1 and B = (-l,4, -2) is normal to another plane &2,show that 0>, and £?, intersect and find a vector parallel to the line <S? in which they intersect. If 0>, and 2P2 were parallel, s£ and 38 would have to be parallel. But A and B are not parallel (since A is not a scalar multiple of B). Therefore, 3fl and SP2 intersect. Since A is perpendicular to plane 0>,, A is perpendicular to the line ,2" in 0*,. Likewise, B is perpendicular to 2£. Hence, .SCis parallel to A x B. Find the vector representation, the parametric equations, and the rectangular equations for the line through the points P(l, -2, 5) and 0(3, 4,6). If R is any point on the line, then for some scalar / (see Fig. 40-6). Hence, OR= OP+ PR= OP+tPQ.Thus, (1, 2, —5) + f(2, 6,1) is a vector function that generates the line. A parametric form is x = 1 + 2t, y = 2 + 6r, z = —5 + /. If we eliminate t from these equations, we obtain the rectangular equations Fig. 40-6 Find the points at which the line of Problem 40.69 cuts the coordinate planes. By Problem 40.69, the parametric equations are x = 1+ 2t, y =2 + 6t, z = —5 + t. To find the intersec- tion with the jty-plane, set z = 0. Then / = 5, *=11, y = 32. So, the intersection point is (11,32, 0). To find the intersection with the jez-plane, set y = 0. Then So, the intersection To find the intersection with the yz-plane, set x =0.

The latter condition means that a, b, c are proportional to A, B, C.

Show that the lines x = 1+ t, y = 2t, z = 1+3t and x = 3s, y =2s, z = 2 + s intersect, and find their point of intersection. Assume (x, y, z) is a point of intersection. Then 2t = y =2s. So, t =s. From l + t =x =3s, we then have 1+ s =3s, 2s = 1, s=|. So, s = t=. Note that l + 3f = l + 3 ( j ) = f and 2 + 5 = 2+ I = |. Thus, the equations for z are compatible. The intersection point is (|, 1, f). By the methods of calculus, find the point Pt(x, y, z) on the line x = 3 + t, y = 2 + t, z = 1 + t that is closest to the point P0(l,2,1), and verify that P0P, is perpendicularto the line.

Choose any two points R and Q on the line (i.e., choose any two /-values). Let A = P0R x P0Q. A is perpendicular to the plane containing P0 and the line (see Fig. 40-7). Now, we want the line P0P, from P0 to the nearest point Pl on the line. Clearly, A x RQ is parallel to PnP,, so that we can write an equation for the line P0Pl. The intersection of P0Pi with the given line yields the point /",, and the distance d = P0Pl. Fig. 40-7 Apply the method of Problem 40.78 to Problem 40.77. The line is x =3 + t, y =2 + t, z = 1+ t. P..is (1, 2,1). Let £ = (3,2,1) and Q = (4, 3,2). RQ is (1,1,1), P0R is (2,0,0), and PnQ = (3,1,1). Then A = PnR x PnQ = (0, -2, 2), and A x RQ = intersection of line P0Pl with the given line, equate the ^-coordinates: 3 + t = 1- 4s. Then t = -2 - (0,-2,2) x (1,1,1) = (-4,2,2).

Find an equation of the plane containing the point ^,(3, —2,5) and perpendicular to the vector N = (4, 2, -7). For any point P(x, y, z), P is in the plane if and only if P,,P 1 N, that is, if and only if P.P-N = 4(;e-3) + 2(>> + 2)-7(z - 5)= 0, which canalso be written as 4x +2y - Iz = -27. Find an equation of the plane containing the point /> ,(4,3, -2) and perpendicular to the vector (5, -4,6). We know (from Problem 40.80) that the plane has an equation of the form 5x —4y + 6z = d. Since P, lies in the plane, 5(4)— 4(3) + 6(-2) = d. So, d = —4 and the plane has the equation 5x - 4y +6z = -4. Find an equation for the plane through the points P(l,3,5), Q(-l, 2, 4), and R(4,4,0). is normal to the plane. N= (-2, -1, -1) x (3,1, -5) = (6, -13,1). So, the equation has the form 6* - 13y + z = d. Since R is in the plane, 6(4)- 13(4) + 0 = d, d = —28. Thus, the equation is 6x - I3y +z = -28. Find an equation for the plane through the points (3,2, -1), (1, —1,3), and (3, -2,4). We shall use a method different from the one used in Problem 40.82. The equation of the plane has the form ax + by + cz = d. Substitute the values corresponding to the three given points: (1) 3cz + 2b - c = d; (2) a-b +3c = d; (3) 3a-2b +4c = d. Eliminating a from (1) and (2), we get (4) 5b-lOc=-2d. Eliminating a from (2) and (3), we get (5) b —5c = —2d. Eliminating d from (4) and (5), we get 5b-Wc = b-5c, 4b =5c, b=c. From (5), -2rf=|c-5c, d=$c. From (2), a = d + b-3c = i fc+ jc-3c = c/8. So, the equation of the plane is (c/8)x + %cy + cz = ^c. Multiplying by 8/c yields x + Wy + Sz = 15. Find the cosine of the angle 6 between the planes 4x + 4_y-2z=9 and 2x + y + z =-3. 0 is the angle between the normal vectors (4,4, -2) and (2,1,1). So, Of course, there is another angle between the planes, the supplement of the angle whose cosine was just found. The cosine of the other angle is -cos 6 = —5V6/18. Find parametric equations for the line 2£ that is the intersection of the planes in Problem 40.84. The line «SPis perpendicular to the normal vectors of the planes, and is, therefore, parallel to their cross product (4,4, —2) x (2,1,1) = (6, —8, —4). We also need a point on the intersection. To find one,set x = 0 and solve the two resulting equations, 4y —2z = 9, y + z = -3. Multiplying the second equation by 2 and adding, we get 6y = 3, y=. So, z = -. Thus, the point is (0, 3,-1) and we obtain the line x=6t, y= i -8t, z---*t. Find an equation of the plane containing the point P(1,3,1) and the line !£: x = t, y - t, z = t + 2. The point Q(0,0,2) is on the given line .5? (set r = 0). The vector = (1,3,-1) lies in the sought plane. Since the vector (1,1,1) is parallel to &, the cross product (1,3,—l)x(l,l,l) = (4, -2, —2) is normal to the plane. So, an equation of the plane is 4* —2y —2z = d. Since the point Q(0,0, 2) is in the plane, -4 = d. Thus, the plane has the equation 4x - 2y - 2z = —4, or 2x —y —z = -2.

Then the distance D is the magnitude of the scalar on the normal vector N = (a, b, c) to the plane.

By Problem 40.91, the distance between the planes is Find an equation for the plane &that isparallel to the plane 0*,: x - 2y +2z = 1 and passes through the point (1.-1.2). 40.92 40.93 40.94 40.95 40.96 40.97 40.98 40.99 40.100 Since & and 0 are parallel, the normal vector (1, -2,2) of 0 is also a normal vector of 0". Hence, an equation of 9 is x-2y +2z =d. Since the point (1, -1,2) lies on 9, l-2(-l) +2(2) = d, d =l. So, an equation of S^ is x - 2y +2z =7. Consider the sphere of radius 3 and center at the origin. Find the coordinates of the point P where the plane tangent to this sphere at (1, 2,2) cuts the x-axis. The radius vector (1,2, 2) is perpendicular to the tangent plane at (1, 2,2). Hence, the tangent plane has an equation of the form x +2y +2z = d. Since (1,2,2) is in the plane, 1 + 2(2) + 2(2) = d, d =9. So, the plane has the equation x +2y +2z =9. When y=0 and z = 0, x =9. Hence, the point Pis (9,0,0). Find the value of k for which the planes 3x —4v + 2z + 9 = 0 and 3x + 4y —kz + 7 = 0 are perpendicular. The planes are perpendicular if and only if their normal vectors (3, —4, 2) and (3,4, —fc)are perpendicular which is equivalent to (3, -4, 2) -(3,4, -k) = 0, 9-16-2fc = 0, k=-. Check that the planes x —2y +2z = 1 and 3* - y —z =2 intersect and find their line of intersection. Since the normal vectors (1, -2,2) and (3, -1, —1) are not parallel, the planes are not parallel and must intersect. Their line of intersection 3! is parallel to the cross product (1,-2,2) x (3,-1,-1) = (4,7,5). To finda point on ££, set x =0 in the equations of the planes: -2y +2z = 1, -y - z =2. Multiply the second equation by 2 and add: -4y = 5, y = -i, z = -1. So, the point (0, -, -f) is on .2", and £ hasthe equations x = 4t, y = —f + It, z = —f + 5t. Show that the two sets of equations and represent the same straight line. The point (4,6, —9) lies on the first line, and substitution in the second system of equations yields the equalities (4- l)/(-6) = (6- 2)/(-8) = (-9 - 3)/24. So, the twolines have a point in common. But the denominators of their equations represent vectors parallel to the lines, in the first case, (3,4, -12) and, in the second case, (-6, -8,24). Since (-6, -8,24)= -2(3,4, -12), the vectors are parallel. Hence, the two lines must be identical. Find an equation of a plane containing the intersection of the planes 3x —2y + 4z = 5 and 2x + 4y —z = 7 and passing through the point (2,1,2). We look for a suitable constant k so that the plane (3x - 2y +4z - 5)+ k(2x +4y - z - 7)= 0 contains the given point. Thus, (3 + 2k)x +(-2 +4k)y +(4 - k)z - (5+7k) =0 must be satisfied by (2,1,2): (3 + 2fe)2 + (-2 + 4k) +(4- k)2 - (5+ Ik) =0, - k +1 = 0, k =7. So, the desired plane is 17* + 26y - 3z-54 =0.

Substitute in me equation for the plane: 3(-8 + 9t) +4(10 - 4f) + 5(9- 2t) =76. Then, t +61= 76, t =15. Thus, the point P is (127,-50, -21). Show that the line lies in the plane 3x +4y -5z =25. The equations of the line in parametric form are x =3 + 5t, y = — 1 + 5t, z = —4 + It. Substitute in the equation of the plane: 3(3+ 5t) +4(-1 + 5t) - 5(-4 + It) =25, 0(t) +25=25, which holds identically in t. Hence, all points of the line satisfy the equation of the plane.

Thus, an equation of that plane has the form -27* + 3y -9z = d. Since (1,2, 3) lies in the plane, -27 + 6-27= d, d=-48. Thus, weget -27* + 3y -9z = -48, or 9* - y + 3z = 16.

The slope of the tangent line is dzldx = 4x= —8. Hence, a vector in the direction of the tangent line is (1,0, -8). (This follows from the fact that there is no change in y and, for a change of 1 unit in x, there is a change of dzldx in z.) Therefore, a system of parametric equations for the tangent line is x = 2 + t, y = 1, z =5-8t (or,equivalently, we can use the pair of planes y = I and 8x + z = -ll). 42.30 Find equations of the tangent line at the point (—2,1,5) to the hyperbola that is the intersection of the surface z = 2x2 —3y2 and the plane z = 5.

A normal vector to the plane is A = (8,6,1). [A is a surface normal at (-2,1,5).] The tangent line of Problem 42.29 is parallel to the vector B = (l,0, —8), which is perpendicular to A [since A • B = 8(1)+ 6(0) + l(-8) = 0]. Therefore, that tangent line lies in the plane &. Likewise, the tangent lineof Problem 42.30 is parallel to the vector C = (l, -j,0), which is perpendicular to A [since A-C = 8(1)+ 6(— |) + 1(0) = 0]. Hence, that tangent line also lies in plane 9.

Since (4, 6,4) and (—4, —6, —4) are parallel, the surfaces are tangent at (2,1,1). 42.124 Show that the surfaces x2 +2y2 -4z2 = 8 and 4x2 - y2 +2z2 ='14 are perpendicular at the point (2,2,1). It suffices to show that the tangent planes are perpendicular, or, equivalently, that the normal vectors are perpendicular. A normal vector to the first surface is A = (2x, 4y, —8z) = (4, 8, —8), and a normal vector to the second surface is B = (8*, -2y,4z) = (16, -4,4). Since A-B = 4(16) + 8(-4) + (-8)4 = 0, A and B are perpendicular. 42.125 Show that the three surfaces yt: I4x2 + lly2 +8z2 = 66, y2: 3z2 - 5*+ y = 0, y,: xy +yz-4zx = 0 are mutually perpendicular at the point (1,2,1).

Since A-B = 0, A-C = 0, and B•C = 0, the normal vectors are mutually perpendicular and, therefore, so are the surfaces. 42.126 Show that the sum of the intercepts of the tangent plane to the surface x112 + y1 '2 + z172 = a1 '2 at any of its points is equal to a.

Extreme Values 43.1 Given a function/(je, y) and a unit vector u, define the derivative of/in the direction u, at a point (*„, y0), and state its connection with the gradient Vf = (fx, /v). The ray in the direction u starting at the point (*0, ya) is (x0, y0) + tu (t > 0). The (directional) derivative, at (x0, y0), of the function / in the direction u is the rate of change, at (xa, y0), of / along that ray, that is, — /((*„, y0) + tu), evaluated at t = 0. It is equal to Vf •u, the scalar projection of the gradient on u. (Similar definitions and results apply for functions / of three or more variables.) 43.2 Show that the direction of the gradient Vfis the direction in which the derivative achieves its maximum, Vf, and the direction of —Vf is the direction in which the derivative achieves its minimum, — Vf. The derivative in the direction of a unit vector u is Vf •u = Vf cos 0, where 6 is the angle between Vf and u. Since cos 6 takes on its maximum value 1 when 0=0, the maximum value of Vf-v is obtained when u is the unit vector in the direction of Vf. That maximumvalue is |V/|. Similarly, since cos 0 takes on its minimum value —1 when 0 = rr, the minimum value of Vf-u is attained when u has the direction of —Vf. That minimum value is — Vf. 43.3 Find the derivative of f(x, y) = 2x2 - 3xy + 5y2 at the point (1, 2) in the direction of the unit vector umaking an angle of 45° with the positive ;t-axis. Hence, the deriva- tive is V/-u = (-2,17)-(V2/2,V2/2) = u = (cos45°, sin 45°) = (V2/2, V2/2). Vf = (4x -3y, -3x + lOy) = (-2,17) at (1,2). 43.4 Find the derivative of f(x, y) = x —sin xy at (1,77/2) in the direction of u = V/=(l -ycosxy, -x cos xy) = (1,0). Hence, the derivative is V/-u= |(1,0)-(1, V5) = f. 43.5 Find the derivative of f(x, y) = xy2 at (1, 3) in the direction toward (4, 5). The indicated direction is that of the vector (4,5) - (1, 3) = (3, 2). The unit vector in that direction is u = (l/vT3) (3,2); the gradient Vf=(y2 ,2xy) =(9,6). So, V/-u = (9,6)- 43.6 Find the derivative of f(x, y, z) = X2 y2 z at (2,1,4) in the direction of the vector (1,2,2). The unit vector in the indicated direction is u= 1(1,2,2). Vf= (2xy2 z, 2x2 yz, x2 y2 ) = (16,32, 64) = 16(1, 2,4). Hence, the derivative is Vf- u = 16(1,2,4) • $(1, 2,2) = ^(13) = ^. 43.7 Find the derivative of f(x, y, z) = x* + y3 z at (-1,2,1) in the direction toward (0, 3, 3). A vector in the indicated direction is (0,3,3) - (—1,2,1) = (1,1, 2). The unit vector in that direction is Hence, is 43.8 On a hill represented by z = 8-4x2 - 2y2 , find the direction of the steepest grade at (1,1,2). In view of Problem 43.2, we wish to find a vector v in the tangent plane to the surface at (1,1, 2) such that the perpendicular projection of v onto the xy-plane is Vz = (-8*, -4y) = (-8, -4). Thus we must have v = (-8, -4, c); and the component c maybe determined from the orthogonality of v and the surface normal found in Problem 42.105: (-8, -4, c)-(-8, -4, -1) = 0 or c = 80 Note that the direction of v is the direction of steepest ascent at (1,1, 2). 392

DIRECTIONAL DERIVATIVES AND THE GRADIENT 393 43.9 For the surface of Problem 43.8, find the direction of the level curve through (1,1) and show that it is perpendicular to the direction of steepest grade. The level curve z = 2 is 8- 4x2 - 2v2 = 2, or 2x2 +y2 =3. By implicit differentiation, 4jc + dyldx = -2x/y = -2. Hence, a tangent vector is (1, -2,0). A vector in the direction of steepest grade is (-8,-4,80), by Problem 43.8. Because (-8,-4, 80)•(!,-2,0) = 0, the twodirections are perpen- dicular. 43.10 Show that the sum of the squares of the directional derivatives of z =/(*, y) at any point is constant for any two mutuallyperpendicular directions and is equal to the square of the gradient. This is simply the Pythagorean theorem: If u and v are mutuallyperpendicular unit vectors in the plane, then Problem 33.4 shows that Vf=(Vf-u)u + (Vf-v)v. A direct computation of Vf'Vf then gives |V/|2 = (Vf-u)2 + (Vf-v)2. 43.11 Find the derivative of z = x In v at the point (1, 2) in the direction making an angle of 30° with the positive x-axis. The unit vector in the given direction is So, the derivative is 43.12 If the electric potential V at any point (x, y) is V= In direction toward the point (2,6). find the rate of change of V at (3,4) in the A vector in the given direction is (—1,2), and a corresponding unit vector is Hence, the rate of change of V in the specified direction is 43.13 If the temperature is given by f(x, y, z) =3x2 - 5y2 +2z2 and you are located at (3, |, |) and want toget cool as soon as possible, in which direction should you set out? V/= (6*, -Wy, 4z) = (2, -2, 2) = 2(1, -1,1). The direction in which/decreases the most rapidly is that of -V/; thus, you should move in the direction of the vector (-1,1, -1). 43.14 Prove that the gradient VFof a function F(x, y, z) at a point P(x0, y0, z0) isperpendicular to the level surface of F going through P. Let F(x0, y0, z0) = k. Then the level surface through P is F(x, y, z) = k. By Problem 42.109, anormal vector to that surface is (Fx, Fy, F2), which is just VF. 43.15 In what direction should one initially travel, starting at the origin, to obtain the most rapid rate of increase of the function f(x, y, z) =(3- x +y)2 +(4x - y +z +2)3 ? The appropriate direction is that of V/= (/,, fy, f:) = (2(3 - x + y)(-l) + 3(4* - y + z + 2)2(4), 2(3 - x +y) +3(4* -y + z +2)2 (-1), 3(4* - v + z + 2)2 ) = (42, -6,12) = 6(7, -1,2). 43.16 If fix, y, z) = jc3 + y3 -z, find the rate of change of/at the point (1,1, 2) along the line in the direction of decreasing x. A vector parallel to the given line is (3,2, -2). Since the first component, 3, is positive, the vector is pointing in the direction of increasing x. Hence, wewant the opposite vector (-3, -2,2). A unit vector in that direction is Hence, the required rate of change is we get Since

A vector parallel to the normal line to the given plane is (3, -1,2) and it is pointing in the direction of (3,-1,2). Since V/=(8,8,-8), the rate of increasing x. The unit vector in this direction is u = change is V/-u = 8(l, 1, -!)• (3,-1,2) = (0) =0. 43.18 For functions f(x, y, z) and g(x, y, z), prove V(/ + g) =Vf +Vg. ?/ + Vg = (/,,/,,/J + (g,,g,,gJ = ((/ + g),,(/ + g)y,(/ + g)J=V(/ +g). 43.19 Prove V( /g) = / Vg+ g Vf. ^(/g) = (fa + Lg, fgy +fyg, fg: + f2g) = (fg,, fgy, fg, ) + (/.g, fyg, L g) = / ?g + g Vf. 43.20 Prove V(f) = nf"'l f. The proof is by induction on n. The result is clearly true when n — . Assume the result true forn. Then (by Problem 43.19) (by the inductive hypothesis) Thus, the identity also holds for n + 1. 43.21 Prove By Problem 43.19, Now solve for V(//g). 43.22 If z =f(x, y) has a relative maximum or minimum at a point (x0, y0), show that Vz = 0 at (x0, y0). We wish to show that both partial derivatives of z vanish at (xg, ya). The plane y = y0 intersects the surface z=f(x, y) in a curve z=f(x, y0) that has a relative maximum (or minimum) at x = xa. Hence, dz/dx =Q at (x0, ya). Similarly, the plane x - x0 intersects the surface z =f(x, y) in a curve z = f(xo< y) tnat nas a relative maximum (or minimum) at y = y0. Hence, the derivative <?z/<9y=0 at (*o> >"o)- Similar results hold for functions/of more than two variables. 43.23 Assume that f(x, y) has continuous second partial derivatives in a disk containing the point (*„, y0) inside it.

If A= 0, no conclusions can be drawn. 43.24 Using the assumptions and notation of Problem 43.23, give examples to show that case 3, where A = 0, allows no conclusions to be drawn. Each of the functions /,(*, y) = x4 +y4 , f2(x, y) = -(x4 +y4 ), and /,(*, y) = x3 -y3 vanishes at (0,0) together with its first and second partials; hence A(0,0) = 0 for each function. But, at (0,0), /, has a relative minimum, /2 has a relative maximum, and /3 has neither [/,(*, 0) = x3 takes on both positive and negative values in any neighborhood of the origin]. 43.25 Find the relative maxima and minima of the function f(x, y) = 2x + 4y —x2 —y2 - 3. f, =2-2x, fy=4-2y. Setting /, =0, £ = 0, we have jr = l, y = 2. Thus, (1,2) is the only critical point. /x,=0, /„ =-2, and fyy = -2. So, A=/^/vv -(fxy)2 = 4>0. Since /„+/„ =-4<0, there is a relative maximum at (1,2), by Problem 43.23.

So, / = y and, therefore, either y =0 or y = l. So, the critical points are (0,0) and (1,1). fxy = -3, /„ = 6*, fyy=6y. At (0,0), &=f,xfyy ~(f,y)2 = -9<0. Therefore, by Problem 43.23, there is neither a relative maximum nor a relative minimum at (0,0). At (1,1), A= 36-9>0. Also, /„+/„, = 12>0. Hence, by Problem 43.23, there is a relative minimum at (1,1). 43.27 Find all relative maxima and minima of f ( x , v) = x2 + 2xy + 2y2 . Setting £ =0, fy =0, we get x + y = 0, *+ 2y = 0, and,therefore, x =y =0. Thus, (0,0) is the only critical point—the only possible site of an extremum. 43.28 Find all relative maxima and minima of f(x, y) =(x —y)(l — xy). have 2xy = 1+ y2 , 2xy = l +x2 . Therefore, 1+ y2 = 1+ x2 , y2 =x2 , y = ±x. Hence, ±2x2 = 1+ x2 . -2x2 = l +x2 is impossible. So, 2x2 = l +x2 , x2 = l, *= ±1. Thus, the critical points are (1,1), (1,-!),(-!, !),(-!,-1). fxy = -2x + 2y, /„ = ~2y, fyy=2x. Hence, A = -4xy -4(y - x)2. For (1,1) and (-1,-1), A=-4<0. For (1,-1) and (-1,1), A=-12<0. Hence, by Problem 43.23, there are no relative maxima or minima. 43.29 Find all relative maxima and minima of f(x, y) = 2x2 +y2 +6xy + Wx - 6y + 5. x=4x + 6y + 10, fy=2y + 6x-6. Setting /j = 0 and fy = 0, we get 2x + 3y + 5 = 0 and 3* + y - 3 = 0. Solving simultaneously, we have x =2, y = -3. Further, fxy = 6, fxx =4, fyy =2. So, A =f%xfyy ~ (fxy)2 = -28 <0.

Setting £ =0, fy= 0, andthen subtracting, weget (y - x)(8 -x-y) = 0. Since z = 18-x-v>0, y-x = 0, that is, y =x. Substituting in I8y - 2xy - y2 =0, wefindthat y =6. Hence, x = 6 and z = 6. f^ =l8-2x-2y=-6, /^ = -2y = -12, ffy = -2x =-2. So, A=144-36>0. Also, /„+/„,= —24 < 0. Hence, (6,6) yields the relative maximum 63 for f(x, y). That this is actually an absolutemaximum follows from the facts that (i) the continuous function f(x, y) must have an absolute maximum on the closed triangle of Fig. 43-1; (ii) on the boundary of the triangle, f(x, y) =0. lines is (4f + 2s)2 + (2 + s + It)2 + (-3 + 3s + f)2 = 66t2 + Us + 36s/ - 14s + 22f + 13.

Thus, by Problem 43.23, we have a relative minimum and, by geometric intuition, we know it is an absolute minimum. Substitution of in the distance formula above yields the distance V6/6 between the lines. Also, /„ = 36, f =28, Since f(x, y) = (x + y)2 + y2 a 0, there is an absolute minimum 0 at (0,0). fx = 2x + 2y, fy=2x + 4y. f(x,y) = x-y-x2y + xy2. Then, fx => 1 - 2xy + y2, fy = -l-x2+2xy.

Setting fx = 0, we get y = 0 Write the first line in parametric form as x = 2 + 4t, y = —1 —It, z = -1 + t, and the second line as xyz = xy(18 — x - y) = ISxy — x2y — xy2.

Set fy =0, /z =0. Then, z2 (20 - 2y- z)=0 and yz(40 - 2y- 3z) =0. Since y > 0 and z>0, 20 - 2y- z =0 and 40 - 2y - 3z = 0. Solving these equations simultaneously, we obtain y= 5, z = 10. Hence, ;c = 5.

Set fy = 0, f,= 0. Then yz3(24 - 3y - 2z)=0 and y2 z2 (36 - 3y - 4z)=0. Since y^ 0 and z* 0, 24 - 3y- 2z=0 and 36 - 3y - 4z = 0. Subtracting, we get 12- 2z = 0, z = 6. Hence, y = 4 and x =2.

Then or and fe[-(c2 /2£2 )] + c = 0, that is, c = c2 /2a and c = c2 /2b. Therefore, la =2b, b = a. From c = c2 /2a, c = 2a. Substitute in Then, and so, a =3. Hence, 6=3, c = 6. Thus the desired equation is or 2x + 2y + z = 6. It suffices to minimize x2 + y2 + z2 for arbitrary points (x, y, z) on the surface.

Differentiating the equation of the ellipsoid, we get and Thus, and Hence, and Set VX = V=0. Then z = cV/za2 , z = c2 y2 /zb2 . Therefore, x2 /a2 = x2 /c2 = y2 /b2 . The equation of the ellipsoid now gives: x = a/V3, z = c/V3, y = bN 3, and V= 8abc/3V3. 43.43 Divide 120 into three nonnegative parts so that the sum of the products taken two at a time is a maximum. y) + y(l20 - * - y) = *y + 120* - x2 - xy + 120y - xy - y2 = 120* + 120y - x2 - xy - y2. fx = 120 - 2x - y, fy = 120 - * - 2y. Set f,=fy=Q and solve: 120 - 2x - y = 0, 240 - 2x - 4y = 0. Hence, 120 - 3y = 0, y = 40, x = 40. Thus, the division is into three equal parts. Note that fxy = -l, fxjt = -2, fyy = -2, A = 4- 1 = 3> 0, and /„ + fyy = -4 > 0. Hence, the critical point (40, 40) yields a relative maximum/(40, 40)= 4800. To see that this is an absolute maximum, observe that the continuous function f(x, y) must have an absolute maximum on the closed triangle in the first quadrant bounded above by the line x + y = 120 (Fig. 43-2). The only possibility for an absolute maximuminside the triangle occurs at a critical point, and (40,40) is the only such point. Consider the boundary of the triangle. On the lower leg,where y = 0, f(x, 0) = *(120-*) = 120*-*2 , with 0<*<120. The critical number of this function turns out to be 60. /(60, 0) = 3600 < 4800 = /(40,40). The endpoints * = 0 and * = 120 yield 0 as the value of/. Similarly,the other leg of the triangle,where * = 0, gives values of/less than/(40, 40). Lastly, on the hypotenuseof the triangle, where * + y = 120, /(*, y) = *y = *(120 —*), with 0^*sl20, and the same analysis as above shows that the values of / are less than /(40,40). Hence, (40, 40) actually does give an absolute maximum. Another method: 2(xy +xz +yz) = (x +y + z)2 - (x2 +y2 + z2 ) = 1202 - (x2 +y2 + z2 ). By Problem 43.36 the abso- lute minimum of x2 + y2 + z2 over the plane * + y + z —120= 0 is attained at x = y = z = 40.

These extrema will occur either on the boundary or in the interior (where they will show up as critical points). fx = cos x + cos (x + y), ff = cos y + cos (x + y). Let fx= fy= 0.

Hence, x = 2A, y = A, z = 2V3A. Substitute in the constraint equation: 8A + 27rA + 6V3A = L. Hence, A=L/(8 + 27r + 6V3) = L/[2(4 + TT + 3V3)]. Therefore, A = 4A2 + TrA2 + 12A2 (V5/4) = (4 + TT + 3/3)A2 = L2 /[4(4 + TT + 3V5)]. We must also consider the "boundary" values when x =0 or y = 0 or z=0. When jc = 0, we get 2A(Tr + 3V3) = L, A = L/[2(ir + 3V5)], A = irA2 + 12A2 (V3/4) = -rr + 3/3) = L2 /[4(i7 + 3V3)]. When y = 0, a similar calculation yields A = L2 /[4(4 + 3V5)], and,when z = 0, we get A = L2 /[4(4 + «•)]. Thus, the maximum area A = L2 /[4(4 + IT)] occurs when z = 0, x = L/(4 + IT), y = L/[2(4+ 77)]. The minimum area A = L2 /[4(4+ TT + 3V3)] occurs when x = Ll(4 + -rr + 3V3), y=L/[2(4+7r + 3V3)], z = V3L/(4+ -rt + 3V3). 43.64 43.65 Minimize xy for points on the circle x2 + y2 = 1.

Since (jc + y)2 = (x2 + y2 ) + 2xy = I + 2xy, an absolute minimum occurs for x = -y; that is, for (1/VI, -1/V2) and (-1/V2,1/V2). 43.66 Use Lagrange multipliers to maximize x1yl + •••+ xnyn subject to the constraints and It is obvious that we can restrict our attention to nonnegative numbers.

If G'(0 is perpendicular to G(f) for all t, show that |G(f)| is constant, that is, the point G(t) lies on the surface of£ sphere with center at the origin. Since G'(0 is perpendicular to G(r), G'(f) •G(t) = 0. Then G'(0 ' G(f) = 0 + 0 = 0.

Now, Hence, Since D •R' = 0 and D •R" = 0, it follows that D •T' = 0. Thus, D is per- pendicular to R' and to T', and, therefore, to T and to N. Hence, D is a normal vector to the osculating plane. Find an equation of the osculating plane of the curve R(f) = (3>t2 ,1 - t, t3 ) at (12, —1, 8) corresponding to f = 2. R'(0 = (6f, -I,3f2 ) = (12, -1,12), and R"(r) = (6,0,60 = (6,0,12).
