SOLUTION
(a) Only the name of the index variable has been changed, so these two sums are the same.
(b) These two sums are not the same; the second squares the numbers two through five while the first squares the numbers one
through four.
(c) These two sums are the same. Note that when i ranges from two through five, the expression i ! 1 ranges from one through
four.
(d) These two sums are the same. Both sums are 1 " 2 C 2 " 3 C 3 " 4 C 4 " 5.

3. A rainstorm hit Portland, Maine, in October 1996, resulting in record rainfall. The rainfall rate R.t/ on October 21 is recorded,
in centimeters per hour, in the following table, where t is the number of hours since midnight. Compute the total rainfall during this
24-hour period and indicate on a graph how this quantity can be interpreted as an area.
SOLUTION Over each interval, the total rainfall is the time interval in hours times the rainfall in centimeters per hour. Thus
The figure below is a graph of the rainfall as a function of time. The area of the shaded region represents the total rainfall.

that is, the distance traveled is the area under the graph of the velocity function over the interval a; b!. The graph below shows the
area under the velocity function v.t/ D 12t m/s over the intervals 0; 2! and 2; 5!. Over the interval 0; 2!, the area is a triangle of
base 2 and height 24; therefore, the distance traveled is

82. Use the result of Exercise 81 to show that the area B under the graph of f .x/ D ln x over 1; e! is equal to 1. Hint: Relate B
in Figure 5(B) to the area A computed in Exercise 81.
SOLUTION Because y D ln x and y D e x are inverse functions, we note that if the area B is reflected across the line y D x
and then combined with the area A, we create a rectangle of width 1 and height e. The area of this rectangle is therefore e, and it
follows that the area B is equal to e minus the area A. Using the result of Exercise 81, the area B is equal to
e ! .e ! 1/ D 1:

" Accordingly, R1 is closer to the exact area A than is R2 . Indeed, the tinier is, the more dramatic the effect.
" For a monotonic function, this phenomenon cannot occur. Successive approximations from either side get progressively more
accurate.

84. Draw the graph of a positive continuous function on an interval such that R2 and L2 are both smaller than the exact area under
the graph. Can such a function be monotonic?
SOLUTION In the plot below, the area under the saw-tooth function f .x/ is 3, whereas L2 D R2 D 2. Thus L2 and R2 are
both smaller than the exact area. Such a function cannot be monotonic; if f .x/ is increasing, then LN underestimates and RN
overestimates the area for all N , and, if f .x/ is decreasing, then LN overestimates and RN underestimates the area for all N .
Left/right-endpoint approximation, n = 2

85. Explain graphically: The endpoint approximations are less accurate when f 0 .x/ is large.
SOLUTION When f 0 is large, the graph of f is steeper and hence there is more gap between f and LN or RN . Recall that the
top line segments of the rectangles involved in an endpoint approximation constitute a piecewise constant function. If f 0 is large,
then f is increasing more rapidly and hence is less like a constant function.

decreasing is similar]. We use the concept of a least upper bound discussed in Appendix B.
(a) Explain with a graph why LN % RM for all N; M # 1.
(b) By (a), the sequence fLN g is bounded, so it has a least upper bound L. By definition, L is the smallest number such that
LN % L for all N . Show that L % RM for all M .
(c) According to (b), LN % L % RN for all N . Use Eq. (9) to show that lim LN D L and lim RN D L.
N !1 N !1
SOLUTION
(a) Let f .x/ be positive and increasing, and let N and M be positive integers. From the figure below at the left, we see that LN
underestimates the area under the graph of y D f .x/, while from the figure below at the right, we see that RM overestimates the
area under the graph. Thus, for all N; M # 1, LN % RM .
y y
x x
(b) Because the sequence fLN g is bounded above by RM for any M , each RM is an upper bound for the sequence. Furthermore,
the sequence fLN g must have a least upper bound, call it L. By definition, the least upper bound must be no greater than any other
upper bound; consequently, L % RM for all M .
(c) Since LN % L % RN , RN ! L % RN ! LN , so jRN ! Lj % jRN ! LN j. From this,
By Eq. (9),
1
lim jRN ! LN j D lim j.b ! a/.f .b/ ! f .a//j D 0;
N !1 N !1 N
so lim jRN ! Lj % jRN ! LN j D 0, hence lim RN D L.
N !1 N !1
Similarly, jLN ! Lj D L ! LN % RN ! LN , so
.b ! a/
jLN ! Lj % jRN ! LN j D .f .b/ ! f .a//:

This gives us that
1
lim jLN ! Lj % lim j.b ! a/.f .b/ ! f .a//j D 0;

so lim LN D L.

This proves lim LN D lim RN D L:

SOLUTION Let f .x/ be continuous, positive, and monotonic on a; b!. Let A be the area between the graph of f and the x-axis
over a; b!. For specificity, say f is increasing. (The case for f decreasing on a; b! is similar.) As noted in the text, we have
LN % A % RN . By Exercise 86 and the fact that A lies between LN and RN , we therefore have

91. Prove that if f .x/ is positive and monotonic, then MN lies between RN and LN and is closer to the actual area under

Z a Z a

Give an intuitive argument showing that f .0/ D g.0/. Explain your idea with a graph.
Ra Ra
SOLUTION Let !a f .x/ dx D !a g .x/ dx. Consider what happens as a decreases in size, becoming very close to zero.
Intuitively, the areas of the functions become .a ! .!a//.f .0// D 2a.f .0// and .a ! .!a//.g.0// D 2a.g.0//. Because we know
these areas must be the same, we have 2a.f .0// D 2a.g.0// and therefore f .0/ D g.0/.
88. Theorem 4 remains true without the assumption a % b % c. Verify this for the cases b < a < c and c < a < b.
Rc Rb Rc
SOLUTION The additivity property of definite integrals states for a % b % c, we have a f .x/ dx D a f .x/ dx C b f .x/ dx.
Rc Ra Rc
" Suppose that we have b < a < c. By the additivity property, we have
b f .x/ dx D b f .x/ dx C a f .x/ dx. Therefore,
Rc Rc Ra Rb Rc
a f .x/ dx D b f .x/ dx ! b f .x/ dx D a f .x/ dx C b f .x/ dx.
Rb Ra Rb
" Now suppose that we have c < a < b. By the additivity property, we have
c f .x/ dx D c f .x/ dx C a f .x/ dx.
Rc Ra Rb Rb Rb Rc
Therefore, a f .x/ dx D ! c f .x/ dx D a f .x/ dx ! c f .x/ dx D a f .x/ dx C b f .x/ dx.
" Hence the additivity property holds for all real numbers a, b, and c, regardless of their relationship amongst each other.
SOLUTION
(a) If f .x/ # 0 over 0; 2!, then the area under y D f .x/ is F .2/ ! F .0/ D 7 ! 3 D 4.
(b) If f .x/ takes on both positive and negative values, then F .2/ ! F .0/ gives the signed area between y D f .x/ and the x-axis.

Z 3
SOLUTION f .x/ dx represents the signed area bounded by the curve and the interval 1; 3!. Since f .x/ is negative on 1; 3!,
Z 3 1
f .x/ dx is the negative of the area. Therefore, if A is the area between the x-axis and the graph of f .x/, we have:

3. Are the following statements true or false? Explain.
(a) FTC I is valid only for positive functions.
(b) To use FTC I, you have to choose the right antiderivative.
(c) If you cannot find an antiderivative of f .x/, then the definite integral does not exist.
SOLUTION
(a) False. The FTC I is valid for continuous functions.
(b) False. The FTC I works for any antiderivative of the integrand.
(c) False. If you cannot find an antiderivative of the integrand, you cannot use the FTC I to evaluate the definite integral, but the
definite integral may still exist.

Verify these inequalities for x D 0:1. Why have we specified x # 0 for sin x but not for cos x?
SOLUTION By Exercise 64, t ! 16 t 3 % sin t % t for t > 0. Integrating this inequality over the interval 0; x!, and then solving for

These inequalities apply for x # 0. Since cos x, 1 ! 2 , and 1 ! 2 C 24 are all even functions, they also apply for x % 0.
Having established that
t2 t2 t4
1! % cos t % 1 ! C ;
2 2 24
for all t # 0, we integrate over the interval 0; x!, to obtain:

x! % sin x % x ! C :
6 6 120
The functions sin x, x ! 16 x 3 and x ! 16 x 3 C 120

x 5 are all odd functions, so the inequalities are reversed for x < 0.
Evaluating these inequalities at x D 0:1 yields
t3 t3 t5
t! % sin t % t ! C (for t # 0)
6 6 120
over the interval 0; x! yields
x2 x4 x2 x4 x6

Solving for cos x yields

Replacing each x by t and integrating over the interval 0; x! produces

(a) In order for A.x/ to have a local maximum, A0 .x/ D f .x/ must transition from positive to negative. As this does not happen
at P , A.x/ does not have a local maximum at P .
(b) A.x/ will have a local minimum when A0 .x/ D f .x/ transitions from negative to positive. This happens at R, so A.x/ has a
local minimum at R.
(c) A.x/ will have a local maximum when A0 .x/ D f .x/ transitions from positive to negative. This happens at S, so A.x/ has a
local maximum at S.

43. Area Functions and Concavity Explain why the following statements are true. Assume f .x/ is differentiable.
(a) If c is an inflection point of A.x/, then f 0 .c/ D 0.
(b) A.x/ is concave up if f .x/ is increasing.
(c) A.x/ is concave down if f .x/ is decreasing.
SOLUTION
(a) If x D c is an inflection point of A.x/, then A00 .c/ D f 0 .c/ D 0.
(b) If A.x/ is concave up, then A00 .x/ > 0. Since A.x/ is the area function associated with f .x/, A0 .x/ D f .x/ by FTC II, so
A00 .x/ D f 0 .x/. Therefore f 0 .x/ > 0, so f .x/ is increasing.
(c) If A.x/ is concave down, then A00 .x/ < 0. Since A.x/ is the area function associated with f .x/, A0 .x/ D f .x/ by FTC II, so
A00 .x/ D f 0 .x/. Therefore, f 0 .x/ < 0 and so f .x/ is decreasing.

SOLUTION Let A.x/ D a f .t/ dt be an area function of f .x/. Then A0 .x/ D f .x/ and A00 .x/ D f 0 .x/.
(a) A.x/ is decreasing when A0 .x/ D f .x/ < 0, i.e., when f .x/ lies below the x-axis. This is choice (i).
(b) A.x/ has a local maximum (at x0 ) when A0 .x/ D f .x/ changes sign from C to 0 to ! as x increases through x0 , i.e., when
f .x/ crosses the x-axis from positive to negative. This is choice (ii).
(c) A.x/ is concave up when A00 .x/ D f 0 .x/ > 0, i.e., when f .x/ is increasing. This corresponds to choice (iv).
(d) A.x/ goes from concave up to concave down (at x0 ) when A00 .x/ D f 0 .x/ changes sign from C to 0 to ! as x increases

SOLUTION
(a) A.x/ is increasing when A0 .x/ D f .x/ > 0, which corresponds to the intervals .0; 4/ and .8; 12/. A.x/ is decreasing when
A0 .x/ D f .x/ < 0, which corresponds to the intervals .4; 8/ and .12; 1/.
(b) A.x/ has a local minimum when A0 .x/ D f .x/ changes from ! to C, corresponding to x D 8. A.x/ has a local maximum
when A0 .x/ D f .x/ changes from C to !, corresponding to x D 4 and x D 12.
(c) Inflection points of A.x/ occur where A00 .x/ D f 0 .x/ changes sign, or where f changes from increasing to decreasing or vice
versa. Consequently, A.x/ has inflection points at x D 2, x D 6, and x D 10.
(d) A.x/ is concave up when A00 .x/ D f 0 .x/ is positive or f .x/ is increasing, which corresponds to the intervals .0; 2/ and .6; 10/.

(a) If F .x/ D 0 .t 2 ! 5t ! 6/ dt, then F 0 .x/ D x 2 ! 5x ! 6 and F 00 .x/ D 2x ! 5. Solving F 0 .x/ D x 2 ! 5x ! 6 D 0 yields
critical points x D !1 and x D 6. Since F 00 .!1/ D !7 < 0, there is a local maximum value of F at x D !1. Moreover, since
F 00 .6/ D 7 > 0, there is a local minimum value of F at x D 6.
(b) As noted in part (a),
A candidate point of inflection occurs where F 00 .x/ D 2x ! 5 D 0. Thus x D 52 . F 00 .x/ changes from negative to positive at this
point, so there is a point of inflection at x D 52 and concavity changes from down to up.

SOLUTION Let F .x/ D 0 t sin t dt. A graph of f .x/ D x sin x is depicted in Figure 6. Note that F 0 .x/ D f .x/ and F 00 .x/ D
f 0 .x/.
(a) For F to have a local maximum at x0 2 .0; 3#/ we must have F 0 .x0 / D f .x0 / D 0 and F 0 D f must change sign from C to
0 to ! as x increases through x0 . This occurs at x D #. The absolute maximum of F .x/ on 0; 3#! occurs at x D 3# since (from
the figure) the signed area between x D 0 and x D c is greatest for x D c D 3#.
(b) At x D #, the value of F is positive since f .x/ > 0 on .0; #/. As x increases along the interval #; 2#!, we see that F decreases
as the negatively signed area accumulates. Eventually the additional negatively signed area outweighs the prior positively signed
area and F attains the value 0, say at b 2 .#; 2#/. Thereafter, on .b; 2#/, we see that f is negative and thus F becomes and
continues to be negative as the negatively signed area accumulates. Therefore, F .x/ takes the value 0 exactly once in the interval
#; 2#!.
(c) F .x/ has two zeroes in 0; 3#!. One is described in part (b) and the other must occur in the interval 2#; 3#! because F .x/ < 0
at x D 2# but clearly the positively signed area over 2#; 3#! is greater than the previous negatively signed area.
(d) Since f is differentiable, we have that F is twice differentiable on I . Thus F .x/ has an inflection point at x0 provided
F 00 .x0 / D f 0 .x0 / D 0 and F 00 .x/ D f 0 .x/ changes sign at x0 . If F 00 D f 0 changes sign from C to 0 to ! at x0 , then f has a
local maximum at x0 . There is clearly such a value x0 in the figure in the interval #=2; #! and another around 5#=2. Accordingly,
F has two inflection points where F .x/ changes from concave up to concave down. If F 00 D f 0 changes sign from ! to 0 to C at
x0 , then f has a local minimum at x0 . From the figure, there is such an x0 around 3#=2; so F has one inflection point where F .x/
changes from concave down to concave up.
49. Find the smallest positive critical point of

0
and determine whether it is a local min or max. Then find the smallest positive inflection point of F .x/ and use a graph of
y D cos.x 3=2 / to determine whether the concavity changes from up to down or from down to up.
SOLUTION A critical point of F .x/ occurs where F 0 .x/ D cos.x 3=2 / D 0. The smallest positive critical points occurs where
x 3=2 D #=2, so that x D .#=2/2=3 . F 0 .x/ goes from positive to negative at this point, so x D .#=2/2=3 corresponds to a local
maximum..
Candidate inflection points of F .x/ occur where F 00 .x/ D 0. By FTC, F 0 .x/ D cos.x 3=2 /, so F 00 .x/ D !.3=2/x 1=2 sin.x 3=2 /.
Finding the smallest positive solution of F 00 .x/ D 0, we get:
x 3=2 D #
x D # 2=3 $ 2:14503:
From the plot below, we see that F 0 .x/ D cos.x 3=2 / changes from decreasing to increasing at # 2=3 , so F .x/ changes from concave
down to concave up at that point.

SOLUTION
(a) Over a short time interval, c.t/ is nearly constant. Rc.t/ is the rate of volume of dye (amount of fluid & concentration of dye
in fluid) flowing out of the heart (in mg per minute). Over the short time interval t; t C "t!, the rate of flow of dye is approximately
constant at Rc.t/ mg=minute. Therefore, the flow of dye over the interval is approximately Rc.t/"t mg.

modeled by the function r.t/ D 3130=.t C 262/ for 0 % t % 544, where t is time elapsed (in millions of years) since the beginning
of the eon 544 million years ago. Thus, t D 544 refers to the present time, t D 540 is 4 million years ago, and so on.
27. Compute the average of RN and LN with N D 5 to estimate the total number of families that became extinct in the periods
100 % t % 150 and 350 % t % 400.
SOLUTION
The right endpoint approximation estimates 399.756 families became extinct in the period 100 % t % 150, the left endpoint
approximation estimates 410.249 families became extinct during this time. The average of the two is 405.362 families.

(b) We can obtain the area under the graph of y D ln x from x D 1 to x D a by computing the area of the rectangle extending
from x D 0 to x D a horizontally and from y D 0 to y D ln a vertically and then subtracting the area of the shaded region. This

(b) Plot the data in the table.
(c) Let N.t/ be the number of transistors t years after 1971. Find an approximate formula N.t/ $ C e kt , where t is the number of

(a) Yes, the graph looks like an exponential graph especially towards the latter years. We estimate the growth constant by setting
1971 as our starting point, so P0 D 2250. Therefore, P .t/ D 2250e kt . In 2008, t D 37. Therefore, P .37/ D 2250e 37k D

that is by the signed area between the graph of the velocity and the t-axis over the interval 0; t!. Using the geometry in Figure 5,
we see that s.t/ is increasing for 0 < t < 4 and for 8 < t < 10 and is decreasing for 4 < t < 8 and for 10 < t < 12. Furthermore,
(a) In the first 12 seconds, the particle returns to the origin once, sometime between t D 4 and t D 8 seconds.
(b) The particles maximum distance from the origin is 6 meters (to the left at t D 12 seconds).

92. Explain with a graph: If f .x/ is increasing and concave up on a; b!, then LN is more accurate than RN . Which is
more accurate if f .x/ is increasing and concave down?
SOLUTION Consider the figure below, which displays a portion of the graph of an increasing, concave up function.
y
The shaded rectangles represent the differences between the right-endpoint approximation RN and the left-endpoint approximation
LN . In particular, the portion of each rectangle that lies below the graph of y D f .x/ is the amount by which LN underestimates
the area under the graph, whereas the portion of each rectangle that lies above the graph of y D f .x/ is the amount by which RN
overestimates the area. Because the graph of y D f .x/ is increasing and concave up, the lower portion of each shaded rectangle is
smaller than the upper portion. Therefore, LN is more accurate (introduces less error) than RN . By similar reasoning, if f .x/ is
increasing and concave down, then RN is more accurate than LN .

The shaded rectangles represent the differences between the right-endpoint approximation RN and the left-endpoint approximation

the area under the graph, whereas the portion of each rectangle that lies above the graph of y D f .x/ is the amount by which RN
overestimates the area. Because the graph of y D f .x/ is a line, the lower portion of each shaded rectangle is exactly the same size
as the upper portion. Therefore, if we average LN and RN , the error in the two approximations will exactly cancel, leaving

100. The C14 -to-C12 ratio of a sample is proportional to the disintegration rate (number of beta particles emitted per minute) that
is measured directly with a Geiger counter. The disintegration rate of carbon in a living organism is 15:3 beta particles per minute
per gram. Find the age of a sample that emits 9.5 beta particles per minute per gram.
SOLUTION Let t be the age of the sample in years. Because the disintegration rate for the sample has dropped from 15:3 beta
particles=min per gram to 9.5 beta particles=min per gram and the C 14 to C 12 ratio is proportional to the disintegration rate, it
follows that

Thus, we need to solve
As this is greater than the $1 million cost of the upgrade, this is a good investment. To determine the largest interest rate that would
make the investment worthwhile, we must solve the equation
