Functions

Definition 1. A function f from a set A to a set B is a rule that assigns to each element x
in A one and only one element y in B. We denote it by f : A → B.

The set A is called the domain of the function f . The elements y in B, called the values
of f at x is denoted by f (x). The set of all values y = f (x), as x varies over the domain of
f is called the range of f .

Example 1: f (x) = x + 1
Domain = (−∞, ∞)
Range = (−∞, ∞)

Example 2: f (x) = x
Domain = [0, ∞)
Range = [0, ∞)

If a function f is described by y = f (x), then we call x the independent variable and y


the dependent variable.

Evaluating function: Given a function f (x) = x, to evaluate the function √ f at real
number a, we simply replace x by a in the function equation. Thus, f (100) = 100 = 10.

Exercise: Evaluate f (x) = x2 + 3 x at
1. x = 1
2. x = 10

Finding the domain of function: If the domain of the function f is not specifically men-
tioned, we will adopt the convention that the domain of f is the set of all numbers x for
which f (x) is a real number.

Example :√Find the domain of


1. f (x) = x
2.f(x)= x22x+1
−x−2
Solution 1. Square root of a negative number is not real. Therefore, the domain of f con-
tains only non negative numbers. Domain = [0, ∞).
2. Division ny 0 is not allowed. The denominator of f (x), x2 − x − 2 = 0 for x = −1 and
x = 2 (these are the roots of the quadratic equation). Therefore, the domain of f is all the
real number expect −1 and 2. Domain = (−∞.∞) \ {−1, 2}.

Exercise: Find the domain of



1. f (x) = √
x+1
x+ x+1
2. f (x) = 3x+1

Graph of a function: The graph of a function is the set of all points (x, y) such that
y = f (x), where x lies in the domain of f .

1
Example : Graph of f (x) = x

1
Exercies: Plot the graph of f (x) = x
+ 1.

The vertical line test: A curve in the xy-plane is the graph of a function f defined by
the equation y = f (x) if and only if the no vertical line intersect the curve at more than one
point.

Piece-wise defined function: In certain situations, a function is defined by several equa-


tions, each valid over a certain portion of the domain of the function.

Example : 
−x x<0
f (x) = |x| =
x x≥0
Odd and even function: A function f that satisfies f (−x) = f (x) for every x in its do-
main is called an even function. The graph of an even function is symmetric with respect
to the x-axis. An example of an even function is f (x) = xx .
A function f that satisfies f (−x) = −f (x) for every x in its domain is called an odd func-
tion. The graph of an odd function is symmetric with respect to the origin. An example of
an odd function is f (x) = x3 .

Operations on functions:Let f and g be functions with domains A and B, respectively.


Then their sum f + g, difference f − g ,product f g , and quotient fg are defined as follows:

• (f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x), with domain = A ∩ B

• (f − g)(x) = f (x) − g(x), with domain = A ∩ B


• (f g)(x) = f (x).g(x), with domain = A ∩ B

f (x)
• ( fg )(x) = g(x)
, with domain ={x|x ∈ A ∩ B and g(x) 6= 0}

There is another way to cook up new functions from simpler function, namely by compo-
sition of functions. Given two functions f and g, the composition of g and f , denoted by
g ◦ f , is the function defined by

(g ◦ f )(x) = g(f (x))

The domain of is the set of all x in the domain of f for which f (x) is in the domain of g.

Example: Let f (x) = sin(x) and g(x) = 1−2x. Then (f ◦g)(x) = f (g(x)) = sin(1−2x)
and (g ◦ f )(x) = g(f (x)) = 1 − 2sin(x).

Function transformation
1. Vertical translations: The graph of the function defined by g(x) = f (x) + c , where
c is a positive constant, is obtained by shifting the graph of f vertically upward by c units.
Similarly, the graph of the function defined by g(x) = f (x) − c , where c is a positive
constant, is obtained by shifting the graph of f vertically downward by c units.

2. Horizontal Translations: The graph of the function defined by g(x) = f (x + c) , where


c is a positive constant, is obtained by shifting the graph of f horizontally to the left by c
units. Similarly, the graph of the function defined by g(x) = f (x − c) , where c is a positive
constant, is obtained by shifting the graph of f horizontally to the right by c units.
3. Vertical Stretching and Compressing: The graph of the function defined by g(x) =
cf (x), where c is a constant with c > 1, is obtained from the graph of f by stretching the
latter vertically by a factor of c. Similarly, if 0 < c < 1, then the graph of g is obtained
from f by compressing the latter vertically by a factor of 1/c.

4. Horizontal Stretching and Compressing: The graph of the function defined by g(x) =
f (cx) , where c is a constant with 0 < c < 1, is obtained from the graph of f by stretching
the graph of the latter horizontally by a factor of 1/c. Similarly if c > 1 , then the graph of
g is obtained by compressing the graph of f horizontally by a factor of c.
5. Reflecting: The graph of the function defined by g(x) = −f (x) is obtained by reflecting
the graph of f with respect to the x-axis. The graph of g(x) = f (−x) is obtained by
reflecting the graph of f with respect to the y-axis.

LIMIT OF A FUNCTION

Consider the function ( ) = . The function is not defined at = 1. The


values of f(x) below and above 1 can be tabulated as given below.

Values of x −

0.9 1.9
1.1 2.1
0.99 1.99

1.001 2.001
0.999999 1.999999
1.000001 2.000001

The values of f(x) seem to approach 2 as x get closer to 1.

We say that limit of f(x) as x approaches 1 is 2 and we write lim → ( ) = 2.

Informal Definition of Limit

Let f(x) be defined on an open interval about , except possibly at itself. If


f(x) gets arbitrarily close to L for all x sufficiently close to , we say that f approaches the limit
L as x approaches , and we write

lim → ( )=

RULES OF EVALUATING LIMITS

To evaluate the limits of functions we use the following rules.


If lim → ( ) = , and lim → ( ) = ( and are real numbers)
1. Sum Rule: lim → ( ) + ( ) = +
2. Difference Rule: lim → ( ) − ( ) = −
3. Product Rule: lim → ( ). ( ) = .
4. Constant Multiple Rule: lim → ( ) = (for any constant k)
5. Quotient Rule: lim → ( )/ ( ) = / , ≠0
/ /
6. Power Rule: lim → ( ) = , m and n are integers

EXAMPLES:

i. lim → = ( lim → )(lim → ) = 2×2=4


ii. lim → (4 = 4 lim → = 4× 4 = 16
iii. lim → (4 − 3) = lim → 4 − lim → 3 = 16-3=13
iv. lim → = =
/ /
v. lim → √4 − 3 = lim → (4 − 3) = 13 =√13

EXAMPLE:

Suppose lim ( ) = 1, and lim ( ) = −5. Find lim .

Using the above rules we can evaluate the limits of polynomials rational functions etc..

Limits of Polynomial Functions and Rational Functions

Theorem1: If ( ) = + +−−−−+ , then,

lim ( ) = + +−−−−+ = ( )

Eliminating Zero Denominators Algebraically

When the denominator of a rational function is not zero we can evaluate the
limit directly. But, when the denominator and numerator both becomes zero as → ,
− will be a factor of both numerator and denominator. So the rational function reduces
to a fraction by cancelling, − . The limit of the function can now be evaluated using this
simplified fraction.

EXAMPLE:

i. Evaluate lim

Solution: By direct substitution we get the value of the limit as .But, + −2

The Sandwich Theorem

Suppose a function is sandwiched between two functions approaching the same


limit. Then the sandwiched function also approach the same limit.

Theorem 3: Suppose ( ) ≤ ( ) ≤ ℎ( ) for all x in some open interval containing c, except


possibly at = itself. Suppose also that lim ( ) = limℎ( ) = .

Then, lim ( ) = .

TARGET VALUES AND FORMAL DEFINITION OF LIMIT

Suppose you are contracting to grind engine cylinders of cross section


area 9 . Suppose the ideal cylinder diameter is 3.385m and you have to know that
how much variation from the ideal diameter 3.385m can be allowed so that the area of
cross section of the cylinder is within 0.01 of the required 9 .

To solve this problem we consider the inequality ⎹ − 9⎹ < 0.01 , where the area of
cross section of the cylinder = = , being the diameter. We have to find
the quantity δ such that ⎹x-3.385⎹< δ.
⎹ − 9⎹ < 0.01
⇒⎹ − 9⎹ < 0.01

⇒-0.01 < − 9 < 0.01

⇒ 8.99 < < 9.01


4
8.99 × 4 9.01 × 4
⇒ < <
⇒ 11.446 < < 11.472

⇒ √11.446 < < √11.472


⇒ 3.3832 < < 3.3870

⇒ −0.0018 < − 3.385 < 0.002

So keeping diameter within a variation of 0.0018, we can keep the cross section area
within the prescribed variation of 0.01 .
ie: x-3.385⎹< 0.0018 ⇒ ⎹ − 9⎹ < 0.01
Here we find the interval about x, corresponding to an interval of target values
of = ( ).

Formal Definition of Limit

To show that the limit of ( ) as → equals , we must be able to


show that the gap between ( ) and can be made less than any prescribed error, no
matter how small, by holding close enough to .

Definition

Let ( ) be defined on an open interval containing , except possibly at . We say


that ( ) approaches as approaches , and write lim → ( ) = , if for every
number > 0, there exists a corresponding number > 0, such that for all ,

0<⎹ − ⎹< ⇒ ⎹ ( )− ⎹ <

EXAMPLE:

1. Show that lim → (5 − 3) = 2 .

Solution: Take any > 0. Consider ⎹ ( ) − ⎹ <

⇒ ⎹(5 − 3) − 2⎹ <

⇒ ⎹5 − 5⎹ <

⇒ 5⎹ − 1⎹ <

⇒ ⎹ − 1⎹ <

So we can choose = . Now, for this we can see that,

0 < ⎹ − 1⎹ < ⇒ ⎹(5 − 3) − 2⎹ <

2. Show that a) lim → = and b) lim → = ( where k is a constant)

Solution: a) Take any > 0. Consider ⎹ ( ) − ⎹ <

⇒⎹ − ⎹<

Choose = . Then,
0<⎹ − ⎹< ⇒⎹ − ⎹< and hence lim → = , is proved.

b) Take any > 0. Consider ⎹ ( ) − ⎹ <

Foundations of Mathematics Page 8


School of Distance Education

⇒⎹ − ⎹<
⇒ 0 < . This is true for any > 0. So we can
consider any positive number as . Therefore,

0<⎹ − ⎹< ⇒ ⎹ − ⎹ < , always hold. And hence, lim → =

Note: When the interval of values about is not symmetric about , we can take to be the
distance from to the interval’s nearer end point.

EXAMPLE:

For the limit lim → √ − 1 = 2, find the value of corresponding to =1

We have to find a > 0 such that for all ,

0 < ⎹ − 5⎹ < ⇒ ⎹√ − 1 − 2⎹ < 1

Consider, ⎹√ − 1 − 2⎹ < 1

⇒ −1 < √ − 1 − 2 < 1

⇒ 1<√ −1<3

⇒ 1< −1<9

⇒ 2 < < 10
⇒ −3 < − 5 < 5

Choose = min {⎹ − 3⎹, ⎹5⎹}= 3. Now,

0 < ⎹ − 5⎹ < 3 ⇒ ⎹√ − 1 − 2⎹ < 1

( ) = 4, ( )= , ≠2
3. Prove lim →
2, =2
For ≠ 2, we have ( ) = . So,
⎹ ( )− ⎹<

⇒⎹ − 4⎹ <

⇒ − < −4<

Chapter-4
EXTENSION OF THE LIMIT CONCEPT
The concept of limits can be extended to one sided limits and infinite limits.

One sided limits are limits as x approaches ‘a’ from the left hand side or right hand side only.
Infinite limits are not really limits, but provide useful symbols and language for describing the
behaviour of functions whose values become arbitrarily large, positive or negative.

One Side Limits

Consider the function ( ) = ⎹ ⎹ .

The function has no value at = 0. But, the values above and below can be tabulated as
given below.

From the table it is clear that f(x) approaches -1 as x approaches 0 from left, and f(x)
approaches +1 as x approaches zero from right. Using notations we write,

lim → ( ) = −1 and lim → ( ) = 1.

Informal Definition of One Sided Limits:

Let ( ) be defined on an interval ( , ) where < . If ( ) approaches arbitrarily close to ,


as approaches a from within the interval, then we say that has a right hand limit at and
we write lim → ( )= .

Let ( ) be defined on an interval ( , ) where < . If ( ) approaches arbitrarily close to ,


as approaches a from within the interval, then we say that has a left hand limit at and
we write lim → ( )= .

EXAMPLE:

Consider the function ( ) = √4 − , x ∈ [−2,2]. Find the one sided limits of


( ) at -2 and 2.

The function is not defined to the left of -2. So the x cannot approach -2 from left. So
lim → ( ) does not exist.
lim → ( )=lim → √4 − = √4 − 4 = 0
In a similar way, lim → ( ) does not exist.
lim → ( )=lim → √4 − = √4 − 4 = 0

One Sided Limits and Limits


A function f(x) has a limit as x approaches a, if and only if, it has left hand side and right
hand side limits there , and these one sided limits are equal. ie:

lim → ( )= ⇔ lim → ( ) = lim → ( )= .

Note: Let f be a function defined on [ , ]. Then f has no left limit at the left end point , and no
right limit at the right end point .

EXAMPLE:

1. . From the following graph find the one sided limits and limits at =
0,1,2,3,4

Solution:
lim → ( ) does not exist, since = 0 is the left end point of the domain. In a
similar way, lim → ( ) does not exist.

At = 0, lim ( ) = 1,

At = 1, lim → ( ) = 0,
lim → ( ) = 1,
At = 2 lim → ( ) = 1,
lim → ( ) = 1,
At = 3 lim → ( ) = 2,
And, lim → ( ) = 1.

2. Show that = sin has no limit as x approaches zero from either side.
Solution:

Foundations of Mathematics Page 13


School of Distance Education

As x approaches zero becomes arbitrarily large and the values of sin cycle
repeatedly
oscillates from -1 to 1. There is no single value approached by ( ) as approaches
zero from either side. So f(x) = sin has no one sided limits and limits at = 0.

b) Does lim → ( ) exist? If yes, what is it? If not, why?
c) Find lim → ( ) and lim → ( ).
d) Does lim → ( ) exist? If yes, what is it? If not, why?

Solution: The graph of the function is given below.

a) As x approaches 2 from left, the value of the function reaches near 1. So,
lim → ( ) = 1. But as x approaches 2 from right the value of the
function is near 2. Therefore, lim → ( )=2
b) No. Since the one sided limits have different values.
c) lim → ( ) = + 1 = 3 .Again, lim → ( ) = + 1 = 3.
(Since, for x> 2, ( ) = + 1 )
d) lim → ( ) exists and its value is 3.

-0.001 -1000
-0.000001 -1000000

From the table it is clear that → 0 , the value of f(x) grow without bound surpassing every
positive real numbers. Similarly as → 0 the value of f(x) grow negatively, surpassing every
negative real numbers.

We write lim → = +∞ and lim → = −∞

In the case of ( ) = , both left and right limits at 0 is +∞

So, we may write, lim → = +∞ .

EXAMPLE:

1. Find the one sided infinite limits, lim → and lim → .

Foundations of Mathematics Page 15

→ 1 ⇒ > 1 ⇒ − 1 > 0. So as x approaches 0 from

4. lim → = lim → ( )( )

Formal Definition of One Sided Limits

We say f(x) has a right hand limit as x approaches a, and we write lim → ( ) = , if
for every number > 0, there exists a corresponding > 0, such that for all x,
< < + ⇒⎹ ( )− ⎹<

CONTINUITY
A function f is continuous at an interior = , if,

1) lim → ( ) exists,
2) ( ) exists, and,
3) lim → ( ) = ( )

Rules of Continuity

If a functions and are continuous at = , then the following functions are


continuous at = .
1. ±
2.
3.
4. (provided ≠ 0 ))
5. ( ) , where m and n are integers.

Continuity of Polynomials and Rational Functions

All polynomials are continuous. Every rational function is continuous at every point where its
denominator is not zero.

EXAMPLES:

1. ( )= − 8 is continuous and ( ) = − 4 is continuous, but the rational function


( )= is continuous when ≠ 4
2. Consider ( ) = ⎹ ⎹ . ( ) = , when ≥ 0, and ( ) = − , when < 0.
As → 0 , lim → ( ) = lim → = 0,
And, as → 0 ,lim → ( ) = lim → (− ) = 0,
So ( ) is continuous at = 0. Since ( ) = and ( ) = − are polynomials they
are continuous. Hence ( ) = ⎹ ⎹ is a continuous function.

Continuity of Trigonometric Functions

and sin are continuous functions. All other trigonometric functions are
continuous at the points where they are defined.
For example, tan = , is not continuous at the points where cos = 0 ie: odd
multiples of .
Theorem: If is continuous at and is continuous at ( ), then ∘ is continuous at

EXAMPLES:

1. The function ( ) = and ( ) = are continuous. So,


∘ ( )= ( ) = (sin ) = sin is continuous and,
∘ ( )= ( ) = sin( ) is continuous.

2. The function ( ) = is continuous by the rules of continuity and composition


rule.
3. The function ( ) = − 3 is continuous everywhere except when = 2.

Types of Discontinuities

 Removable Discontinuity: f has a removable discontinuity at = , if


lim → ( ) exists, but ( )either does not exist, or is not equal to the value
( ).

EXAMPLE: Consider ( ) = . lim → ( ) = 2, but (1) does not exist.


So has a removable discontinuity at = 2.
1.

 Jump Discontinuity: has a jump discontinuity at = if, lim → ( ) and


lim → ( ) have different values.

EXAMPLE:( ) = ⎹ ⎹
, has a jump discontinuity at = 0.

 Infinite Discontinuity: has an infinite discontinuity at = , if the one sided


limits , lim → ( ) and lim → ( )are ±∞.

EXAMPLE: ( ) = has infinite discontinuity at = 0.

 Oscillating Discontinuity: Sometimes the discontinuity of ( ) = sin is


called an oscillating discontinuity.

Continuous Extension
Suppose has a removable discontinuity at = , or ( ) is not defined while lim → ( )
exists. If we define a new function ( ) by,

( ), ≠
( )= , we can see that Iiss continuous at = , and is called a continuous
, =
extension of to = .

EXAMPLE:

( )= , ≠1
1. , is a continuous extension of ( ) = to =1
2, =1

( )( )
, ≠1
The above function can be written as ( ) =
2, =1
+ 1, ≠1
⇒ ( )=
2, =1
+ 1, ≠1
⇒ ( )=
1 + 1, =1
+ 1, ≠1
⇒ ( )=
+ 1, =1
⇒ ( )= +1

So to get the continuous extension of a rational function we cancel the zero divisors.

2. Consider ( ) = . To get the continuous extension to = 2, cancel the factor


( − 2) from ( ).
( )( )
ie: ( ) = =( )( )

One-Sided Continuity
A function is called left continuous at = if, lim → ( ) = ( ), and right
continuous if, lim → ( ) = ( ).

A function is continuous at a point, if and only if it is right continuous and left continuous
there.

EXAMPLE:
[ ]
1. ( )= , is right continuous at integer points, but not left continuous there.
2. ( )=
⎹ ⎹
, is neither left continuous nor right continuous at =0

Continuity on Intervals
A function is called continuous if it is continuous at each point in its domain. A
function is continuous on a closed interval [ , ], if it is right continuous at a, and left
continuous at b, and continuous at the interior points.

EXAMPLE:

1. Consider the function ( ) = √4 − .

lim → ( ) does not exist.


lim → ( )=lim → √4 − = 0 = f(−2)
In a similar way, lim → ( ) does not exist.
lim → ( )=lim → √4 − = 0 = f(2).

The function ( ) = √4 − is continuous on each points of (−2,2).

So the function is continuous on [−2,2].

2. The function ( ) = is continuous on (0, ∞) and on (−∞, 0)

The function is continuous on the intervals, [0,1), [1,2), (2,4).

Intermediate Value Theorem


Suppose f(x) is continuous on an interval I and a and b are two points on I. Then, if y0 is
a point between f(a) and f(b), there exists a number c between a and b, such that f(c)=y0.

In other words, continuous functions assume each value between any two given values.

EXAMPLE:

Is any real number exactly one less than its cube?

Solution: Is there any x such that = − 1?

Is there any x such that, − x − 1 = 0?

Let f(x)= − x − 1.

(0) = −1 , (1) = −1 (2) = 5. So at some point between 0 and 1, x becomes zero.

So there is such a real number between 1 and 2 , by intermediate value theorem.

Tangent lines

Tangent line problem is one of the important problem that played a fundamental role in the
development of calculus. As shown in the figure below, the tangent line T to a curve at P
is a straight line that ”just touches” the curve at P (x, f (x)). The slope of the tangent lines
at the point P on the graph y = f (x) provides us a way for measuring the rate of change of
one quantity (y) with respect to another quantity (x).

The discovery of the relationship between the problem of finding the slope of the tangent
line and the problem of finding the rate of change of one quantity with respect to another
spurred the development in the seventeenth century of the branch of calculus called differ-
ential calculus.

Definition 1. Let P (a, f (a)) be a point on the graph of a function f . Then the tangent
line at P (a, f (a)) (if it exists) to the graph of f is the line passing through P (a, f (a)) and
having slope
f (a + h) − f (a)
m = lim
h→0 h

Example: Find the slope and equation of the tangent line to the graph of f (x) = x2 at the
point P (1, 1).
Solution: The slope of tangent line ‘m0 is given by,

f (a + h) − f (a)
m = lim
h→0 h
Here a = 1, thus we get
f (1 + h) − f (1)
m = lim
h→0 h
1 + 2h + h2 − 1
= lim
h→0 h
2
2h + h
= lim
h→0 h
= lim 2 + h
h→0
=2

Using the point-slope equation, we get the equation of the tangent line as,

y − 1 = 2(x − 1)

Tangent lines and Rate of change

We mentioned that there is a connection between the slope of the tangent line at a given
point P (a, f (a)) of a function f and the rate of change of f at x = a. We will now show
that it is true.

Consider the function f as shown in the figure above. let a be a point in its domain and
h be a small increment in x. The average rate of change of a function over an interval
[a, a + h] is defined as
f (a + h) − f (a)
(1)
h
In the figure below, observe that the slope of the line passing through P (a.f (a)) and
Q(a + h, f (a + h)) is

f (a + h) − f (a) f (a + h) − f (a)
m0 = =
(a + h) − a h
The expression for m0 is same as (1). Thus, we conclude that the average rate of change of
f with respect to x over the interval [a, a + h] has the same value as the slope of the line
passing through the points (a, f (a)) and (a + h, f (a + h)).
Now, when h approaches zero in (1), we obtain the instantaneous rate of change of f at
x = a. The instantaneous rate of change of a function with respect x to at a is defined as

f (a + h) − f (a)
lim
h→0 h
if the limit exists. This expression is same as the slope of tangent line of f at P (a, f (a)).
Thus, we conclude that the instantaneous rate of change of f with respect to x at a has the
same value as the slope of the tangent line at the point a.
Derivatives

Definition 2. The derivative of a function f with respect to x is the function f 0 defined by

f (x + h) − f (x)
f 0 (x) = lim
n→0 h
The domain of f 0 consist of all values of x for which the limit exists.

The derivative f 0 can be interpreted in two ways:


1. Geometric interpretation: The derivative of a function f is a measure of the slope of the
tangent line to the graph of at any point (x,f(x)), provided that the derivative exists.

2. Physical interpretation: The derivative of a function f measures the instantaneous rate


of change of f at x.

Example: Let the position of vehicle 0 s‘ at any given time t be given by the equation
s = f (t) = 4t2 .
f (t + h) − f (t)
f 0 (t) = lim
h→0 h
4(t + h)2 − 4(t)2
= lim
h→0 h
4t + 8th + h2 − 4t2
2
= lim
h→0 h
8th + h2
= lim
h→0 h
= lim 8t + h
h→0
= 8t
Thus, the rate of change of the position of the vehicle with respect to time, at time t, as well
as the slope of the tangent line at the point (t, f (t)) on the graph of , is given by

f 0 (t) = 8t

The process of finding the derivative of a function is called differentiation. We can view
differentiation as an operation on the function f to yield another function f 0 . If we are
differentiating with respect with x, then we denote the differentiation operation as Dx or
d
dx
. For example,
df
f 0 = Dx (f ) =
dx
dy
The value of the derivative of f at a is denoted by f 0 (a) or by | .
dx x=a

Example: Let y = x.
1. Find the derivative of y. √
2. Find the slope and the equation of the tangent line to the curve y = x at the point
x = 4. √

2. The slope m of the curve y = x at the point x = 4 is given by dx |x=4 . Thus, substituting
1

x = 4, we get m = 4 . When x = 4, y = 4 = 2, giving (4, 2) as the point of tangency.
Therefore, using the point-slope formula, the equation of tangent line at x = 4 is

st that point. aA function


A function is said to be differentiable at a point if it has a derivative at
may fail to be differentiable at one or more than one points on its domain. A function does
not have a derivative at if the graph of does not have a tangent line at , or if the tangent line
does exist, then it is vertical. We will now study few functions that is not differentiable.
Example: Consider the function

0 x<0
H(x) =
1 x≥0
Check the differentiability of H(x) at x = 0.

Solution: Consider the left hand limit at x = 0


f (x + h) − f (x) H(0 + h) − H(0)
lim− = lim−
h→0 h h→0 h
H(h) − H(0)
= lim−
h→0 h
0−1
= lim−
h→0 h
=∞
So, H 0 (0) does not exits and therefore, H is not differentiable at x = 0.

Example: Show that the function f = |x| is not differentiable at 0.


Solution: 
−x x<0
f (x) = |x| =
x x≥0
Consider the left hand limit at x = 0
f (x + h) − f (x) |0 + h| − |0|
lim− = lim−
h→0 h h→0 h
−h
= lim−
h→0 h
= −1
Now, the right hand limit
f (x + h) − f (x) |0 + h| − |0|
lim+ = lim+
h→0 h h→0 h
h
= lim+
h→0 h
=1
So, the limit dose not exists and the the function is not differentiable at x = 0.
Theorem 0.0.1. If f is differentiable at a, then f is continuous at a.
Proof.
f (x) − f (a)
lim (f (x) − f (a)) = lim (x − a)
x→a x→a x−a
f (x) − f (a)
= lim lim (x − a)
x→a x−a x→a

= f 0 (a).0
=0
Thus, limx→a (f (x) − f (a)) = 0, which implies limx→a f (x) = f (a). This shows that f is
continuous at a.

Extreme value of Functions
Definition:-Let be a function with domain , then has an absolute maximum
value on at point if
( ) ≤ ( ) for all ∈
and an absolute minimum value on at point if
( ) ≥ ( ) for all ∈
Remark:- Absolute maximum and minimum values are called absolute extrema
or Global extrema
Example:- If = [0,2] then y attain the absolute maximum value 4 at =2
and absolute minimum 0 at = 0 .
A function which is continuous at every point of a closed
interval has absolute maximum and absolute minimum value on the
interval.when
W we try to graph the function, we can locate these points clearly
Theorem I
If is continuous at every point of a closed interval , then assumes both an
absolute maximum value M and absolute minimum value somewhere in . That
is, there are numbers & in with ( ) = and ( ) = and ≤ ( ) ≤ for
every other in .
Example :- let = [− , ] and ( )= then ( ) takes maximum value ‘1’ at
= 0 and minimum value ‘0’ at two points =∓
Definition:- A function has a local maximum value at an interior point of its
domain if ( ) ≤ ( ) for all in some open interval containing .
A function has a local minimum value at an interior point of its domain if
( ) ≥ ( ) for all in some open interval containing .
This local maximum and minimum values are called local extrema
Remark: If we consider the set of all local local maximum values , then the global
maximum (if there is )will be one of the element of this set. Similarly If we
consider the set of all local local minimum values , then the global minimum (if
there is )will be one of the element of this set
Theorem II
If has a local maximum or minimum value at an interior point of its domain ,
and is defined at then ( ) = 0

Calculus 5

Proof: to prove ( ) = 0 at the local extremum , it is enough to prove ( ) is


niether negative nor positive.
So suppose has a local maximum at = , then ( ) − ( ) ≤ 0 for all values of
near enough to .since of ’s domain , ( ) is defined by the
two sided limit

This means that the right hand side limit and left hand side limit are exist at

( )− ( )
Similarly, ( ) = lim → −
≥ 0 (because ( − ) < 0 & ( ) ≤ ( )) ….(2)
From (1) & (2) we have ( )=0
Similarly we can prove the case of local minimum value.
Definition:- an interior point of the domain of a function where or
undefined is known as critical point of
Remark: - the only domain points where a function can assume extreme values
are critical points and end points.
Example:-Find absolute maximum and minimum values of ( ) = on [-2, 1]
Solution:- the function is differentiable over its entire domain, so the critical point
is where ( )=2 =0
Which gives =0
At =0, ( )= 0
At the endpoints = −2 ( )=4
=1 ( )=1
The function has an absolute maximum value 4 at = −2 and an absolute
minimum value 0 at = 0

Theorem III: Rolle’s theorem:-
Suppose that = ( ) is continuous at every point of the close interval [a, b]
and differentiable at every point of its interior (a, b). If ( ) = ( ) = 0, then there is
atleast one number c in (a, b) at which ( ) = 0
Proof:- Given is continuous , so assume absoute maximum and minimum
values on [a, b]

Calculus Page 6

Since exist at every interior points , the absolute extrema will attain in critical
point or end points.
If either the maximum or minimum occurs at a point c inside the interval then
( ) = 0 and hence the proof.
If both maximum and minimum are at then is constant ( since ( )=
( )) which imply that =0 anywhere in the interval.
Which completes the proof.
Theorem IV : Mean Value Theorem
Suppose ( )is continuous in a closed inteval [a, b] and differentiable on
the interval’s interior (a,b). Then there is at least one point c in (a, b) at which
( ) ( )
= ( )
Proof:- consider two points ( , ( ) & ( , ( ) on the graph of ( ).Now draw a
stright line joining these two points.its equation is

( ) ( )

( ) ( )

If we set = ( )

We have ( )= ( )+ ( − )
Now the vertical distance between the grapphs of & is given by
ℎ( ) = ( ) − ( )
( ) ( )
= ( )− ( )− ( − )
Clearly ℎ( ) = ℎ( ) = 0
Note that ℎ( ) satisfy the hypotheses of Roll’es theorem in [a, b] .There fore there
exist a point ∈ ( , ) such that ℎ ( ) = 0
( ) ( )
Which implies ( )− ( )− ( − ) =0
( ) ( )
implies ( )− =0
( ) ( )
ie, ( )=
hence the proof.
Corollory 1
If ( ) = 0 at each of an interval I then ( ) = for all in I , where c is constant
Proof: - to prove is constant , we show that if & are any two points of I then
( )= ( )

Suppose & are any two points in I, such that < . Then satisfy the the
hypothesis of the Mean Value Theorem in [x, y] , hence the exist a value c
( ) ( )

Since = 0 for all , we have ( )=0=

Implies ( ) − ( ) = 0
ie, ( ) = ( )
Hence the proof
Corollary 2
If ( ) = ( ) at each point of an interval I then there exists a constant C
such that ( ) = ( ) + for all ∈
Proof:-at each point in I, define ℎ( ) = ( ) − ( )
Then ℎ( )= ( )− ( )=0
Then by corollary 1 ℎ( ) = , implies ( ) = ( ) + .
Example:- find the function ( ) whose derivative is and whose graph passes
through (0, 2)
Solution:- since ( ) has same derivative as ( ) = − , we have ( ) = − +
for some constant C, where C is determind by the condition (0) = 2
ie, (0) = − cos 0 + =2
gives , =3
so ( ) = − +3 is the desired function

Then by mean value theorem , ( ) − ( ) = ( )( − ) for some c between &
Now suppos ( ) > 0 implies ( ) > ( ), is increasing
Similarly if ( ) < 0 implies ( ) < ( ), is decreasing

The First derivative Test for Local Extremum Values


Theorem 5: (First Derivative Test)
The following test applies to a continuous funcion ( )
At critical point c,
1. If changes from positive to negative at ( >0 < & <0 >0
), then has a local maximum value at c.
2. If changes from negative to positive at c( <0 < & >0 >0
) then has a local minimum value at
3. If doesnot change sign at c ( has same sign on both sides of c )then
has no extremum value at
At left end point a
1. If <0 > then ℎ local maximum value at
2. If >0 > then ℎ local minimum value at
At right end point
1. If <0 < then ℎ local minimum value at
2. If <0 < then ℎ local maximum value at
Example : Find the interval on which ( ) = − + 12 + 5, − 3 ≤ ≤ 3 is
increasing and decreasing.where does the function assume the extreme values
and what are these values
Solution: The function in its domain. The first derivative is
( ) = −3 + 12
= −3( − 4)
= −3( + 2)( − 2)
Which is defined for all points of [-3,3], and is zero at = −2 & =2
This two ponts are the critical points
These critical points devide the domain of in to intervals on which is either
positive or negative
By substitutions, we can observe that has a local maxima at = −3 & = 2.
Similarly local minima at = −2 & =3
The corresponding value of ( )
Local maxima : (−3) = −4 & (2) = 21
Local minima : (−2) = −11 & (3) = 14
Since is defined in a closed interval , we have (−2) = −11 is the absolute
minimum and (2) = 21 is the absolute maximum.

OPTIMIZATION
Solving Optimization Problem
Introduce variables: List every relation in the problem as an equation or algebraic
expression.
Identify the unknown:Write an equation for it. If you can, express the unknown as a
function of a single variable or in two equations in two unknowns.
Test the critical points and endpoints. The points where either first derivative is zero
or not defined
Example1 :Find two positive numbers whose sum is 20 and whose product is as large as
possible.
Solution:If one number is x, then the other is (20 - x). Their product is f (x) = x(20 - x) =
20x - x2.
We want the value or values of x that make f (x) as large as possible. The domain of f is the
closed interval 0 ≤x ≤20.
We evaluate f at the critical points and endpoints. The first derivative,
fI(x) =20 - 2x,is defined at every point of the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 20 and is f(x) = 0 only at x = 10.
Listing the values of f at this one critical point and the endpoints gives
Critical-point value : f (10) = 20(10) - (10)2 = 100 Endpoint values : f (0) = 0, f (20) = 0.
We conclude that the maximum value is f (10) =100. The corresponding numbers are x = 10
And (20 -10) = 10
Example 2 : A rectangle is to be inscribed in a semicircle of radius 2. What is the largest
area the rectangle can have, and what are its dimensions?
Solution:To describe the dimensions of the rectangle, we place the semicircle and
rectangle in the coordinate plane ( The length, height, and area of the rectangle can then
be expressed in terms of the position x of the lower right hand corner:
Length: 2x , Height:√4-x2 Area: 2x √4-x2
Notice that the values of x are to be found in the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 2.
Now, our practical problem reduces to the mathematical problem of finding absolute
maximum value of the continuous function
A(x) = 2x√4 - x2

Calculus Page 10
School of Distance Education

on the domain [0, 2]. We do this by examining the values of A at the critical points and
endpoints. The derivative
= +2√4 − x2 ……………….(1)

is not defined when x = 2 . The derivative (1) is equal to zero when +2√4 − x2 =0

Multiplying both sides by √4 – x2. ,we get -2x2 + 2(4 – x2) = 0  8- 4x2 = 0  X2= 2
Ie
i.e. x = -√2 or x = √2

Of the two zeros, x = √2 and x = - √2, only x =√2 lies in the interior of A's domain and
makes the critical-point list. The values of A at the endpoints and at this one critical point
are:
Critical-point value: A (√2) = 2√2√4 - 2 = 4
Endpoint values : A(0) = 0, A(2) = 0.
The area has a maximum value of 4 when the rectangle is √4 – x2 =√2 units high and
x = 2√2 units long.
Example: An open-top box is to be made by cutting small congruent squares from the
corners of a 12-by-12-in. sheet of tin and bending up the sides. How large should the
squares cut from the corners be to make the box hold as much as possible?
Solution
We take the corner squares are x inches on a side and hence the height of the open top
box is x. Note that the volume of the box is V = hlw,
where h is the height, l is the length and w is the width. Here h = x;
l= 12 - x - x = 12 - 2x;
w = 12 - x - x = 12 - 2 x.
Hence the volume of the box is a function of the variable x:
V(x) = x(12 - 2x)(12-2x) = 144x - 48x2 + 4x3.
Since the sides of the sheet of tin are only 12 in. long, 2x cannot exceed 12 and hence x £ 6
and the domain of V(x) is the interval 0 < x < 6.
A minimum value of 0 at x = 0 and x = 6 and a maximum near x = 2. To locate the exact
point, we examine the first derivative of with respect to x:
= 144 - 96x + 12x2 = 12(12 - 8x + x2) = 12(2 - x)(6 - x).
At the critical point dV = 0 , which gives x = 2 and x = 6 . Only x = 2 lies in the interior of the
function domain and is the required critical- point.

Calculus Page 11
School of Distance Education

Critical-point value: V (2) = 128.


Endpoint values: V(0) = 0, V(6) = 0
The maximum volume is 128 in3. The cut-out squares should be 2 in on a side.
COST AND REVENUE IN ECONOMICS
Here we want to point out two of the many places where calculus makes a contribution to
economic theory. The first has to do with the relationship between point, revenue (money
received), and cost.
Suppose that
r (x) = the revenue from selling x items
c( x)=the cost of producing the x items
p(x) = r(x) - c(x) = the profit from selling x items.
The marginal revenue and marginal cost at this production level (items) are
= marginal revenue

= marginal cost.
Next theorem is about the relationship of the profit to these derivatives.
Theorem: Maximum profit (if any) occurs at a production level at which marginal revenue
equals marginal cost.
Example: The cost and revenue functions at a soft drink company are c(x) = x3 - 6x2+15x,
6

and r(x) = 9x , where x represents thousands of soft drink bottles. Is there a production
level that will maximize company's profit? If so, what is it?
Solution
r(x) = 9x, c(x) = x3 - 6x2+15x
Differentiating with respect to x, we obtain r'(x) = 9, C'(x) = 3x2-12x+15
By the Theorem, maximum profit occurs when
r'( x) = c'( x), which implies 3x2-12x +15 = 9  3x2 -12x + 6 = 0  33x2-12x + 6 = 0  x2 -
4x + 2 = 0

Theorem
The production level (if any) at which average cost is smallest is a level at which
the average cost equals the marginal cost.
Example:The cost function at a soft drink company is c(x) = x3 - 6x2
6 +15x (x in thousands
of units). Is there a production level that minimizes average cost? If so, what is it?
Solution
Cost : c(x) = x3 - 6x2 +15x
Marginal cost : c'(x) = 3x2 -12x + 15
( )
Average cost : = x2 - 6x +15
By the Theorem, the production level is minimum at which average cost equals marginal
cost. Hence
X2 - 6x +15 = 3x2 - 12x +15 => 2x2 - 6x = 0 =>2x(x - 3) = 0 => x = 0 or x = 3
Since x > 0, the only production level that might minimize average cost is three thousand
units.
We check the derivatives:
( )
Average cost = x2-6x+15

( ) = 2x-6

( ) =2 >0
The second derivative is positive, so x = 3000 units gives an absolute minimum.
LINEARIZATION AND APPROXIMATIONS
Definitions
If f is differentiable at x = a, then the approximating function
L(x)= f(a)+ f'(a) (x-a)……………….. (1) is the linearization of f at a . The approximation
f (x)≅L(x) of f by L is the standard linear approximation of f at a. The point x = a is the
center of the approximation
Example: Find the linearization of f (x) =√1 + x at x = 3.
Solution
f (x) =√1 + x
f'(x) =

Then ,f (3) = 2, f '(3) = 1/4, and the linearization is

Calculus Page 13
School of Distance Education

L(x) = 2 +1/4 (x - 3) = 5/4 + x/4


At x = 3.2 , the linearization in Example gives
√1+x = √1 + 3.2 ≅ 5/4 + 3.2/4 = 2.050
Example 2:Find the linearization of f(x)=x4 at x =1
L(x)= f(1)+(x-1) f' (1)
f(x)=x4 , f' (x) = 4 x3
f(1)= 1 , f' (1)= 4
L(x)=1+4(x-1)= 4x-3
Differentials
Definitions Let y = f (x) be a differentiable function. The differential dx is an independent
variable. The differential dy is
dy = f'(x) dx.
Example: Find dy if
a) y = x5 + 37 x b) y = sin3x
Solution
a) dy = (5x4 + 37)dx b) dy = (3cos3x)dx
We sometimes write
df = f'(x) dx in place of dy = f'(x) dx, and call df the differential of f . For instance, if f (x) =
3x2 - 6, then
df = d(3x2 -- 6) = 6xdx.
( )
Every differentiation formula like has corresponding differential form like d (u + v)
= du + dv,
obtained by multiplying both sides by dx.
Formulas for differentials

The Differential Estimate of Change


Let f (x) be differentiable at x = x0. The approximate change in the value of f when x
changes from x0 to x0 + dx is
df = f ’(x0) dx.
Example: The radius r of a circle increases from r0 =10 m to 10.1m. Estimate the increase
in the circle's area A by calculating dA . Compare this with the true change D A
Solution
Since A = πr2, the estimated increase is
dA = A'(r0)dr = 2πr0dr = 2π (10)(0.1) = 2π m2.
The true change is
DA =π (10.1)2 -π102 = (102.01 - 100) π = 2.01π
Absolute, Relative, and Percentage Change
As we move from x0 to a nearby point x0 + dx, we can describe the change is f in three
ways:
True Estimate
Absolute change Df = f (x0 + dx) - f (x0) df = f'(x0)dx
Relative Change Df /f(x0) df/ f(x0)
Percentage Change Df /f(x0) .100 df/ f(x0).100
Example :Show that the relative error in computing the volume of a sphere due to an
error in measuring the radius is approximately equal to three times the relative error in the
radius.
Solution
Let V be the volume and r be the radius of the sphere. Then they are related by the
equation
V = πr3. ………... . . (1)
Taking logarithms on both sides of (1), we obtain
logV = log ( )π + 3 log r

Calculus Page 15
School of Distance Education

Now taking differentials, we get


=3
since the differential of the constant log (3/4)π is 0, the error relation is
=3 . . ………….. . (2)

where is the relative error in computing the volume and is the relative error in
computing the radius.
The error relation (2) simply says that the relative error in computing the volume of a
sphere due to an error in measuring the radius is approximately equal to three times the
relative error in the radius.
Example: About how accurately should we measure the radius r of a sphere to calculate
the surface area S = 4πr2 within 1% of its true value?
Solution
We want any inaccuracy in our measurement to be small enough to make the
corresponding increment DS in the surface area satisfy the inequality
| DS | = =
We replace DS in this inequality with
dS = = 8πrdr.

dS = dr= 8πrdr
This gives |8πrdr| = 4πr2/100  dr=r/200
We should measure r with an error dr that is no more than 0.5% of the true value.
Example :The volume V of fluid flowing through a small pipe or tube in a unit of time at a
fixed pressure is a constant time the fourth power of the tube's radius r. How will a 10%
increase in r affect V?
Solution
Here we can take V = kr4.
dV = dr = 4kr3dr  = =4
The relative change in V is 4 times relative change in r, so a 10% increase in r will produce a
40% increase in the flow.
Example :The radius of a sphere is found to be 10 cms, with a possible error of 0.02 cms.
What is the relative error in the computed volume?

Calculus Page 16
School of Distance Education

Solution
If V is the volume and r is the radius of the sphere,
V =(4/3)πr3
Taking logarithms, we get,
log V = log(4/3)π + 3 log r.
Taking differentials on both sides,
=3

The error relation is, =3 approximately.

Given Dr = 0.02, when r = 10. , = 3. (002/10)= .006


Hence, relative error in the volume = 0.006.

Concavity and inflection points

Definition 1. Suppose f is differentiable on an open interval I. Then,

1. the graph of f is concave upwards on I if f 0 is increasing on I


2. the graph of f is concave downwards on I if f 0 is decreasing on I

Note: Observe that if the graph of is concave upward on an open interval I, then it lies
above all of its tangent lines, and if the graph is concave downward on I, then it lies below
all of its tangent lines.

If a function has a second derivative , we can use it to determine the intervals of con-
cavity of the graph of f .

Theorem. Suppose f has a second derivative on an open interval I, then


a. If f 00 (x) > 0 for all x ∈ I , then the graph of f is concave upward on I.
b. If f 00 (x) < 0 for all x ∈ I , then the graph of f is concave downward on I.

Procedure for determining the intervals of concavity of a function


• Find all values of x for which f 00 (x) = 0 or f 00 (x) does not exist. Use these values of
x to partition the domain of into open intervals.

• Select a test number in each interval found in the step above and determine the sign
of f 00 (x) in that interval.
a. If f 00 (x) > 0, the graph of is concave upward on that interval.
b. If f 00 (x) < 0, the graph of is concave downward on that interval.

Example: Determine the intervals where the graph of f (x) = x 3 is concave upward and
where it is concave downward.
Solution:

and

f 00 (x) = 4

f (x) is discontinuous at x = 0 (the function shoots to infinity).
f 00 (x) < 0 f or x ∈ (−∞, 0)
f 00 (x) < 0 f or x ∈ (0, ∞)
Thus, the graph of f concave downwards on (−∞, 0) and on (0, ∞).

Example: Determine the intervals where the graph of f (x) = x4 − 4x3 + 12 is concave
upward and the intervals where it is concave downward.
Solution:
f 0 (x) = 4x3 − 12x2
and
f 00 (x) = 12x2 − 24x
f 00 (x) is continuous everywhere (as it is polynomial) and has zeros at 0 and 2.
f 00 (x) > 0 f or x ∈ (−∞, 0) and thus concave upwards in the interval.
f 00 (x) < 0 f or x ∈ (0, 2) and thus concave downwards in the interval.
f 00 (x) > 0 f or x ∈ (2, ∞) and thus concave upwards in the interval.

Definition 2. (Inflection Point) Let f be a continuous function on an open interval I con-


taining the point c, and suppose the graph of f has a tangent line at P (c, f (c)) . If the
graph of f changes from concave upward to concave downward (or vice versa) at P , then
the point P is called an inflection point of the graph of f .
Examples of point of inflection

Note: Observe that the graph of a function crosses its tangent line at a point of inflection.

Procedure for finding the point of inflection:

• Find all numbers c in the domain of f for which f 00 (c) = 0 or f 00 (c) does not exist.
These numbers give rise to candidates for inflection points.

• Determine the sign of f 00 (x) to the left and to the right of each number c found in
the step above. If the sign of f 00 (x) changes, then the point p(c, f (c)) is an inflection
point of f , provided that the graph of has a tangent line at P .
The Second derivative test
Theorem. Suppose that f has a continuous second derivative on an interval (a, b) con-
taining a critical number c of f
a. If f 00 (x) < 0 then f has a relative maximum at c.
b. If f 00 (x) > 0 then f has a relative minimum at c.
c. If f 00 (x) = 0 then the test is inconclusive

Example: Find the relative extremas of f (x) = x3 − 3x2 − 24x + 32 using the Sec-
ond Derivative Test.
Solution:
f 0 (x) = 3x2 − 6x − 24
Setting f 0 (x) = 0, we get -2 and 4 as the critical points of f . Next,

f 00 (x) = 6x − 6

f 00 (−2) = −18 < 0. Thus, -2 is a relative maximum of f . f 00 (4) = 18 > 0. Thus, we get 4
is a relative minimum of f .

Sigma Notation for Finite sums


Definitions (Sigma Notation for Finite Sums)
The symbol ∑ denotes the sum a1+ a2 + ……… + an. The ai ’s are the terms of the sum:
a1 is the first term, a2 is the second term, ak is the k th term, and an is the n th and last
term. The variable k is the index of summation. The values of k run through the integers
from 1 to n. The number 1 is the lower limit of summation; the number n is the upper limit
of summation.

Riemann Sums
Given an arbitrary continuous function y = f (x) on an interval [a, b] , we partition the
interval into n subintervals by choosing n -1 points, say x1 , x2 , ……….xn-1; between a and b
subject only to the condition that
a< x1 < x2< ••• < xn-1<b .
To make the notation consistent, we usually denote a by x0 and b by xn . The set
P = { x1 , x2 , ……….xn}
is called a partition of [a, b].
The partition P defines n closed subintervals
[ x0 x1], [ x1, x2], ……… …..[ xn-1 xn].
The typical closed subinterval [xk-1 xk] is called the k th subinterval of P.
The length of the k th subinterval is Dxk = xk – xk-1.
In each subinterval [xk-1 xk], we select a point ck and construct a vertical rectangle from the
subinterval to the point (ck, f (ck)) on the curve y = f (x). The choice of c k does not matter as
long as it lies in [xk-1 xk].

Calculus Page 18
School of Distance Education

If f (ck) is positive, the number f (ck)Dxk = height • base is the area of the rectangle. If f (c k)
is negative, then f (ck)Dxk is the negative of the area. In any case, we add the n products f
(ck)Dxk to form the sum
Sp = ∑ f (ck)Dxk
This sum, which depends on P and the choice of the numbers ck , is called a Riemann sum
for f on the interval [a, b].
As the partitions of [a,b] become finer, the rectangles defined by the partition
approximate the region between the x -axis and the graph of f with increasing accuracy. So
we expect the associated Riemann sums to have a limiting value. To test this expectation,
we need to develop a numerical way to say that partitions become finer and to determine
whether the corresponding sums have a limit. We accomplish this with the following
definitions.
The norm of a partition P is the partition's longest subinterval length. It is denoted by
||P|| (read "the norm of P").
The way to say that successive partitions of an interval become finer is to say that the
norms of these partitions approach zero. As the norms go to zero, the subintervals become
shorter and their number approaches infinity.
Example : The set P = {0, 0.2, 0.6,1,1.5, 2} is a partition of [0, 2]. There are five subintervals
of P: [0, 0.2], [0.2,0.6], [0.6,1], [1,1.5], and [1.5, 2].
The lengths of the subintervals are Dx1 = 0.2, Dx2 = 0.4, Dx3 = 0.4, Dx4 = 0.5, and Dx5 = 0.5.
The longest subinterval length is 0.5, so the norm of the partition is ||P|| = 0.5. In this
example, there are two subintervals of this length.
Definition (The Definite integral as a Limit of Riemann Sums)
Let f (x) be a function defined on a closed interval [a, b]. We say that the limit of the
Riemann sums Sp = ∑ f (ck)Dxk k k
on [a, b] as ||P|| => 0 is the number I if the
following condition is satisfied:
Given any number € > 0, there exists a corresponding number d> 0 such that for every
partition P of [a, b]with ||P||<d => | ∑ f (ck)Dxk - L|< €
for any choice of the numbers ck in the subintervals [xk-1;xk
k-1
,
k
].
If the limit exists, we write
Lim|| ||  ∑ f (ck)Dxk = L
We call L the definite integral of f over [a, b], we say that f is enterable over [a, b], and
we say that the Riemann sums of f on [a, b] converge to the number L.
We usually write L as ∫ ( ) which is read "integral of f from a to b ." Thus, if the
limit exists,

Upper and Lowe Riemann Sum
Riemann upper sum : Up = ∑ Maxf(x) Dxk
Riemann lower sum: Lp= ∑ Minf(x) Dxk
If f(x) is Riemann integrable then Up =Lp as ||P|| 0
Theorem (The Existence of Definite Integrals)
All continuous functions are integrable. That is, if a function f is continuous on an
interval [a, b], then its definite integral over [a, b] exists.
Functions with No Riemann Integral
The function
f(x)= 1, when x is rational,
0, when x s irrational
has no Riemann integral over [0,1]. For any partition P of [0,1], the upper and lower sums
are
Up = ∑Maxf(x)Dxk= ∑1 Dxk= ∑Dxk= 1,
(sum of length of all sub intervals) as every subinterval contains a rational number and
hence maxf(x) = 1
Lp = ∑_Minf(x)Dxk=
k
∑ 0 Dxk = 0,
k
as every subinterval contains an irrational number and hence Minf(x) = 0 .
For the integral of f to exist over [0,1], U p and Lp would have to have the same limit as
||P|| 0. But they do not:
limLp = 0 while lim Up = 1.
Therefore, f has no integral on [0,1].
Example :Express the limit of Riemann sums

Solution: The function being evaluated at ckk in each term of the sum is f (x) = 3x 2 - 2x + 5 .
The interval being partitioned is [ -1, 3]. The limit is therefore the integral of f from -1 to 3:

The Area Under the Graph of a Nonnegative Function

Definition Let f (x) t 0 be continuous on [a, b]. The area of the region between the graph of
f and the x -axis is
A=∫ ( )
Whenever we make a new definition, as we have here, consistency becomes an issue.
Does the definition that we have just developed for nonstandard shapes give correct
results for standard shapes? The answer is yes, but the proof is complicated and we will
not go into it.
Example :Using an area, evaluate the definite integral ∫ 0<a<b
Solution :We sketch the region under the curve y = x, a <x < b, and see that it is a
trapezoid with height (b - a) and bases a and b . The value of the integral is the area of this
trapezoid:
∫ = (b - a) = −
In particular,
( ) ( )
∫ == − == − = 12

Notice that = is an antiderivative of x, further evidence of a connection between


antiderivatives and summation.
Example: Use a definite integral to find the area of the region between the parabola y = x 2
and x -axis on the interval [0, b].
Solution: We evaluate the integral for the area as a limit of Riemann sums.
We sketch the region (a nonstandard shape) and partition [0, b] into n subintervals of
length
( )
Dx = = . The points of the partition are
X0 = 0, x1 = Dx, x2 = 2Dx, ..........., xn-1 = (n -l)Dx, xn = nDx = b.
We are free to choose the ck 's any way we please. We choose each ck to be the right-hand
endpoint of its subinterval, a choice that leads to manageable arithmetic. Thus, c 1 = x1, c2 =
x2, and so on. The rectangles defined have areas f (c 1)Dx = f (Dx)Dx = (Dx)2 Dx = (12)(Dx)3
f (c2)Dx = f (2Dx)Dx = (2Dx)2Dx = (22)(Dx)3

The average value of f (x) = 4 – x2 over the interval [0, 3] is 1. The function assumes this
value when
4 – x2 = 1 or x = −√3 . Since one of these points, x =√3 lies in [0, 3], the function does
assume its average value in the given domain .

The continuity of f is important here. A discontinuous function can step over its average

CHAPTER 6
INTEGRATION II
FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS OF CALCULUS

In this chapter we discuss two parts of fundamental theorem of calculus.


Theorem (The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1)

If f is continuous on [a, b], then F(x) = ∫ ( ) has a derivative at every point of [a, b]

and = ∫ ( ) = f (x), a ≤ x ≤ b………….. (1)

Example : if y = ∫ costdt

Solution: Notice that the upper limit of integration is not x but x: To find we must
therefore treat y as the composite of
y = ∫ costdt and u = x2
and apply the Chain Rule:
=

= ∫ costdt d Substitute the formula for y.

=cosu Eq. (1) with f (t) = cos t


=cosx2 2x
Example :Express the solution of the following initial value problem as an integral.
Differential equation: = tan x
Initial condition : y(1) = 5

Calculus Page 26
School of Distance Education

Solution
The function F(x) = ∫ tantdt
is an antiderivative of tan x. Hence the general solution of the equation is
y =∫ tantdt + C
As always, the initial condition determines the value of C :
5 = ∫ tantdt + C y(1) = 5
5=0+C ……………………….. (2)
C = 5.
The solution of the initial value problem is y = ∫ tantdt + 5 .
How did we know where to start integrating when we constructed F (x) ? We could have
started anywhere, but the best value to start with is the initial value of x (in this case x =1).
Then the integral will be zero when we apply the initial condition (as it was in Eq. 2) and C
will automatically be the initial value of y .
The Evaluation of Definite Integrals using FTC2
Theorem (The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 2)
If f is continuous at every point of [a, b] and F is any antiderivative of f on [a, b], then

∫ f(x)dx = F(b) - F(a) ……………………… (3)


Example
П
∫ cosxdx = [sinx] = sin П - sin0 = 0 -0 = 0
П
∫ П secxtanxdx = [sec x] = sec0 -sec (− ) = 1 -√2

We can now see that without any restriction on the signs of a and b ,

Solution:First find the zeros of f . Since
3 2 2
f (x) = x2 - x2 - 2x = x(x2 - x - 2) = x(x +1)(x - 2), the zeros are x = 0, -1, and 2 The
zeros partition [ -1, 2] into two subintervals: [ -1, 0], on which f < 0 and [0, 2], on which f >
0. We integrate f over each subinterval and add the absolute values of the calculated
values.

APPLICATIONS OF INTEGRALS
Things like areas between curves, volumes and surface areas of solids, lengths of curves etc can be
calculated with integrals. We define all of these as limits of Riemann sums of continuous functions
on closed intervals, that is, as integrals, and evaluate these limits using calculus. In this module we
discuss some of the above mentioned applications.
Areas Between Curves
Here we discuss how to find the areas of regions in the coordinate plane by integrating the
functions that define the regions boundaries.
Definition: If and are continuous functions with ( ) ≥ ( ) ; ∀ ∈ [ , ], then the area of
the region between the curves = ( ) = ( ) is the integral of − from
a to b : = ∫ [ ( ) − ( )]
Example1: Find the area between = = from 0 4
.
Solution:
Step1: Identifying upper curve and lower curve
We know that ≥ ∈ [0, ]. Therefore take ( )= ( )=
Step2 : Finding the limits of integration
The limits of integration are already given: = 0, =
Step3: Write a formula for ( ) − ( )
Here ( )− ( )= −
Step4: Applying formula
The required area is

= ∫ [ ( ) − ( )] =∫ ( − ) =[ + ] =

Example2: Find the area of the region enclosed by the parabola


=2− ℎ =−
Solution:
Step1: Identifying upper curve and lower curve
Since the curve = 2 − ℎ = − ,the upper curve is ( ) = 2 − and
the lower curve is ( ) = −
Step2 : Finding the limits of integration

Calculus Page 29
School of Distance Education

We find the limits of integration by equating the two curves:


2− =−
− +2=0 ( ℎ )
( + 1)( − 2) = 0 ( ℎ )
= −1, = 2( ℎ )
The limits of integration are = −1 , =2
Step3: Write a formula for ( ) − ( )
( ) − ( ) = (2 − )— =2− +
Step4: Applying formula

= [ ( ) − ( )] = (2 − + ) =

Example 3:

Find the area of the region in the first quadrant that is bounded above by = √ and below by
the -axis and the line = − 2

Solution :

Step1: Identifying upper curve and lower curve

The sketch shows that the region’s upper boundary is the curve ( ) = √ and the lower
boundary changes from ( ) = 0 0≤ ≤2 ( )= −2 2 ≤ ≤ 4. We divide the
region in to two subregions A and B.

Step2 : Finding the limits of integration

The limits of integration for region A are =0 = 2.The left hand limit for region B is = 2.
To find the right-hand limit, we solve the equations =√ = − 2 simaltaneously for x:

√ = −2

= ( − 2)

= −4 +4

−5 +4=0

( − 1)( − 4) = 0

= 1, =4

Calculus Page 30
School of Distance Education

Only the value = 4 satisfies the equation √ = − 2 . So the right hand limit is =4

Step3: Write a formula for ( ) − ( )

For 0 ≤ ≤2 ∶ ( )− ( )=√ −0=√

For 2 ≤ ≤4 ∶ ( ) − ( ) = √ − ( − 2) = √ − +2

Step4: Applying formula

Total Area = ∫ √ + ∫ (√ − + 2) =

Remark: The above problem can be easily solved with the help of geometry as follows

The required area in the problem (example3) is the area between the curve = √ ,0 ≤ ≤ 4,
and the -axis, minus the area of a triangle with base 2 and height 2

Solution :

Step1: We sketch the region and a typical horizontal rectangle based on a partition of an interval
of y-values . The regions right hand boundary is the line = + 2, so ( ) = + 2.The left hand
boundary is the curve = ( )=

Step2: The lower limit of integration is = 0.The upper limit is obtained by solving:

Moments and Center of Mass


Introduction
Many structures and mechanical systems behave as if their masses were concentrated at a
single point called the center of mass.
Masses along a Line
Let , are masses on a rigid -axis supported by a fulcrum at the origin .Each mass
exerts a downward force equal to the magnitude of the mass times the acceleration of
gravity. Each of these forces has a tendency to turn the -axis about the origin. This turning effect
is called a torque. It is measured by multiplying the force by the signed distance from the
point of application to the origin. Masses to the left of the origin exert negative (counter
clockwise) torque. Masses to the right of the origin exert positive (clockwise) torque.
The sum of the torques measures the tendency of the system to rotate about the origin.
This sum is called system toque.
system toque = m gx + m gx + m gx
Remark
 The system will balance if and only if torque is zero.
 System torque= ( + + )
,the torque is the product of the gravitational acceleration ,which is a feature of
environment.
Definition
The number + + is called the moment of the system about the origin.
= Moment of the system about the origin=∑
Remark
The torque of each mass about the fulcrum in special location is

Torque of about ⃐ = ( )

=( − ⃐)
An equation we can solve for ⃐
∑( − ⃐) =0 (sum of the torques equals zero)
∑( − ⃐) =0 (by constant multiple rule)
∑( − ⃐) =0 as g≠0

Calculus Page 38
School of Distance Education

∑( −⃐ )=0

∑ −∑⃐ =0⇒∑ =∑⃐ ⇒⃐ = =

The point ⃐ is called the system’s center of mass.


Wires and thin Rods
Imagine along strip lying along x-axis from x=a to x=b and cut into small pieces of mass
∆ by a partition of the interval [ , ].The piece is ∆ units long and lies approximately
units from the origin. Now observe the three things .First, the strips center of mass ⃐ is nearly the
same as that of the system of point masses we would by attaching each masses ∆ to the
point :

⃐≈ …………………….(1)
Second, the moment of each piece of the strip about the origin is approximately ∆ ,so the
system moment is approximately the sum of the ∆ .
i.e. System moment ≈∑ ∆ ………………………….(2)
Third, if the density of the strip at is ( ) expressed in terms of mass per unit length and is
continuous, then ∆ is approximately equal to ( )∆ (mass per unit length times length):
∆ ≈ ( )∆ ……………………………………….(3)
Combining these three observations gives
∑ ∆ ∑ ( )∆
⃐≈ ≈ ≈ ∑ (

∆ )∆

Note that ∑ ( )∆ is Riemann sum for the continuous function ( ) over the closed
interval [ , ] and ∑ ( )∆ is a Riemann sum for the function ( ) over this interval. We
expect the approximations in (4) to improve as the strip partitioned more finely and we led to the

Masses Distributed over a plane Region
Suppose we have a finite collection of masses located in the plane, with mass at the
point ( , ).The mass of the system is
System mass = M= ∑ .
Each mass has a moment about each axis is and it’s moment about y-axis is
is .The moments of the entire system about the two axes are

The y-coordinate of the system’s center of mass is defined to be



ӯ= = ∑

The point ( ⃐, ӯ) is called the system’s center of mass.


Thin, Flat plates
Imagine the plate occupying a region in the xy-plane, cut into thin strips parallel
one of the axes. The center of mass of a typical strip is (x᷈,y᷈) .Which treat the strips mass ∆m as if it
was concentrated at (x᷈,y᷈).The moment of the strip about the y-axis is x᷈∆m.The moment of the
strip about the x-axis is y᷈∆m.
Now equation (5) and (6)implies
∑ ᷈∆
⃐= = ∑∆
∑ ᷈∆
ӯ= = ∑∆
As in the one dimensional case, the sums are Riemann sums for integrals and approach these
integrals as limiting values of the strips in to which the plate is cut into narrower and narrower.
Then we get

Center of mass= ⃐ = and ӯ =
Remark
To evaluate these integrals, we picture the plate in the coordinate plane and sketch a strip
of mass parallel to one of the coordinate axes. Then we express the strip’s mass dm and the
coordinates (x᷈,y᷈) of the strip’s center of mass in terms of x or y.Finally we integrate ᷈ and ᷈
and dm between limits of the integration determined by the plate’s location in the plane.

Example:4
Find the center of mass of a wire of constant density δ shaped like a semi circle of radius a
Solution:
We model the wire with the semi circle = √ − .The distribution of mass is
symmetric about y-axis ,so ⃐ = 0.To find ӯ imagine the wire divided into short segments. The
typical segment has

the center of mass is called the centroid of the shape

WORK
In everyday life, work means an activity that requires muscular or mental effort.
Work Done by a constant Force
When a body moves distance d along a straight line as a result of being acted on by a
force of constant magnitude F in the direction of motion. We calculate the work W
done by the force on the body with the formula
W=Fd (constant force formula for work)…………………………….(1)

From this equation we see that the unit of work is in any system is the unit of force
multiplied by the unit of distance. So the unit of work is nN.m.This combination is
called Joule.

Work done by a variable force

Definition

The work done by a variable force F(x) directed along the x axis from x=a to x=b is
W=∫ ( )

Example:1
The work done by a force of F(X)= along the x-axis from x=1m to x=10m is
W=∫ ( )

=∫ = = + 1 = 0.9
Example:2
A leaky 5lb bucket is lifted from the ground into the air by pulling in 20ft of rope at a constant
speed. The rope weighs 0.08lb/ft.The bucket starts with 2gal of water (16lb) and leaks at a
constant rate. It finishes draining just as reaches the top. How much work has spent?
a) Lifting the water alone.
b) Lifting the water and bucket together.
c) Lifting the water, bucket and rope.

Solution:
a) The water alone: The force required to lift the water is equal to the water’s weight which
varies steadily from 16 to 0 lb over the 20ft lift. When the bucket is x-ft of the ground the
water weighs

20 − 4
( ) = 16 = 16 1 − = 16 −
20 20 5

The work done is W=∫ ( ) =∫ 16 − = 16 − 2

= 320 − 160 = 160

b) The water and bucket together. According to equation (1),it takes 5*20=100 ft lb to a 5lb weight
20ft.
So,160+100=260ft.lbof work were spent lifting the water and bucket together
d) The water, bucket and rope. :
Now the total weight at level x is
4
( ) = 16 − + 5 + (0.08)(20 − )
5
The work lifting the top is
Work on rope =∫ (0.08)(20 − ) = ∫ (1.6 − 0.08 ) = 16 −
The total work for the water bucket and rope is 160+100+16=276ft-lb.
Hooke’s Law for springs: =
Hooke’s law says that the force it takes to stretch or compress a spring x length units from
its natural (unstressed) length is proportional to x. In symbols F=kx .The constant k is measured
in force units per length, it is called force constant spring constant of the spring
Example: 3
Find the work required to compress a spring from its natural length of 1ft to a length of
0.75 ft .If the force constant is k=16lb/ft.
Solution:
We assume the uncompressed spring laid along the x-axis with its movable end at the
origin and its fixed end at x=1.This enables us to describe the force required to compress the
spring from 0 to x with the formula F=16x.To compress the spring from 0 to 0.25ft the force must
increases from F (0) =16*0=0lb to F(0.25)=16(0.25)=4lb.
The work done by F over this interval is
.
W=∫ 16 = 0.5 −
Example: 5
A spring has a natural length of 1m.A force of 24N stretches the spring to a length of 1.8m.
Calculus Page 44

a) Find the force constant k


b) How much work will take to stretch the spring 2m beyond it natural length.
c) How far will a 45-N force stretch the spring?
Solution:
a) The force constant: We have, F=kx
F=24N, x=1.8-1=0.08m, so k=24/0.8=30N/m
b) The work to stretch the spring 2m: We imagine the unstressed spring hanging along the
x-axis with its free end at x=0.The force required to stretch the spring x m beyond its
natural length is the force required to pull the free end of the spring x units from the
origin. Hooke’s law with k=30 says that this force is
F(X)=30x.
The work done by F on the spring from x=0 to x=2 m is

= 30 = [5 ] = 60

c) How far will a 45-N force stretch the spring:


We substitute F=45m equation F=30x to find
45=30x or x=1.5m
Exercises
1. A mountain climber is about to haul up a 50-m length of hanging rope. How much work will it
take if the rope weights 0.624N/m?
2. An electric elevator with a motor at the top has a multistoried cable weighing 4.5 lb/ft.
a) When the car is at the first floor, 180 ft of cable are paid out, and effectively 0 ft is out
b) When the car is at the top floor. How much work does the motor do just lifting the cable
c) When it takes the car from the first floor to the top?
