Homework

The homework is online at http://www.coursecompass.com/ with course identification olson18176. I do not have the ability to add or delete students from the system. Please contact the publisher's technical support for any difficulties you encounter have setting up your account.

[30-Jun-11] Notes on Homework 1

The website works in Eastern Standard Time. I have contacted the publisher and they can not change this to Pacific Time. Therefore the times given in the due dates need to be converted to our time zone by subtracting 3 hours. To keep things consistent, each assignment will be due at 8:59pm according to the clocks in Reno on the day indicated.
Problem 5.5.13:

    integral sqrt(2+3*x) dx

If the answer is written
   
    (2/9)*sqrt(2+3*x)^3 + C
  
it is accepted, but if it is written
  
    (2/9)*sqrt((2+3*x)^3) + C
  
it is marked incorrect.

Problem 5.7.1:

   integrate 1/x dx from -9 to -4  
   simplify your answer
  
If the answer is written
  
   ln(4)-ln(9)     or    ln(4/9)
  
it is accepted, but if it is written
  
   2*ln(2/3)    or   -ln(9/4)
  
it is not accepted.

[12-Jul-11] Notes on Homework 2

The deadline has been extended 2 extra days. Some problems ask for the answer as a decimal rounded to a specified number of decimal places. If more digits are entered the answer will be marked wrong.

Some of the problems in sections 6.3 and 6.4 contain integrals have either very complicated antiderivates or no antiderivative at all in terms of elementary functions. Our book discusses techniques to solve such problems in sections 7.5 and 7.6 which we will be covering this week. Until then the following Maple commands may help:

Problem 6.3.21:

Use a grapher to find the curve's length numerically.

                       Pi         5 Pi
    x = 2 sin y        -- <= y <= ----
                        6           6

(round to the nearest hundredth.)

To solve with Maple type

    restart;
    f:=2*sin(y);
    dfdy:=diff(f,y);
    L:=int(sqrt(dfdy^2+1),y=Pi/6..5*Pi/6);
    evalf(L);

Maple will respond with 3.012453716 which should be rounded to 3.01 
so the homework system will accept it.

Problem 6.3.38:

                                     1/3      2/3
Find the length of the curve f(x) = x    + 4 x    
where 0 <= x <= 1.  (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

To solve with Maple type

    restart;
    f:=x^(1/3)+4*x^(2/3);
    dfdx:=diff(f,x);
    L:=int(sqrt(dfdx^2+1),x=0..1);
    evalf(L);

Maple with respond with 5.118694873 which needs to be rounded to 5.119 
so the homework system will accept it.

Problem 6.4.1:

Set up an integral for the area of the surface generated by revolving
the curve
                       Pi         7 Pi
    y = tan x          -- <= x <= ----
                        5          16

about the x-axis.  Then find the area of the surface numerically.  (Do
not round until the final answer.  Then round to the nearest hundredth
as needed.)

To solve with Maple type

    restart;
    f:=tan(x);
    dfdx:=diff(f,x);
    A:=2*Pi*Int(f*sqrt(dfdx^2+1),x=Pi/5..7*Pi/16);
    evalf(A);

Note that in this case int is spelled with a capital as Int to prevent 
Maple from even trying to find an antiderivative.  Maple will respond
with 78.67832836 which needs to be rounded to 78.68 so the homework
system will accept it.

Problem 6.4.7:

Set up an integral for the area of the surface generated by revolving
the curve

    x = integral of 4 sin(t) dt from 0 to y

where 0 <= y <= Pi/4 about the y-axis.  

Graph the curve.

Use technology to find the surface area numerically.  (Round to two 
decimal places as needed.)

    restart;
    f:=int(4*sin(t),t=0..y);
    dfdy:=diff(f,y);
    A:=2*Pi*int(f*sqrt(dfdy^2+1),y=0..Pi/4);
    evalf(A);

Maple will respond with 4.767342002 which should be rounded to 4.77 so
the homework system will accept it.

Maple Examples

Below are copies of the Maple demonstrations done in class along with a few equivalent calculations done with Macsyma and Axiom. Maple is a commercially marketed computer algebra system originally developed at University of Waterloo that is available in campus computing labs and through the internet using your UNR netid. Macsyma is a similar program developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology that is available as the Maxima open source computer algebra system. Axiom is another computer algebra system developed by City College of New York.

Equal Opportunity Statement

The Mathematics Department is committed to equal opportunity in education for all students, including those with documented physical disabilities or documented learning disabilities. University policy states that it is the responsibility of students with documented disabilities to contact instructors during the first week of each semester to discuss appropriate accommodations to ensure equity in grading, classroom experiences and outside assignments.

Academic Conduct

Bring your student identification to all exams. Work independently on all exams and quizzes. Behaviors inappropriate to test taking may disturb other students and will be considered cheating. Don't talk or pass notes with other students during an exam. Don't read notes or books while taking exams given in the classroom. Homework may be discussed freely. If you are unclear as to what constitutes cheating, please consult with me.
