Study Notes
- Calculus 2 builds upon the concepts introduced in Calculus 1, focusing on more advanced integration techniques, applications of integration, sequences and series, and parametric equations.
Integration Techniques
- Integration by Parts: Used when the integrand is a product of two functions.
- The formula is ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du, where u and dv are chosen strategically to simplify the integral.
- Trigonometric Integrals: Involve integrating products and powers of trigonometric functions.
- Use trigonometric identities to simplify the integrand and apply appropriate substitution techniques.
- Trigonometric Substitution: Employed when the integrand contains expressions of the form √(a² - x²), √(a² + x²), or √(x² - a²).
- Substitute x with a trigonometric function to eliminate the square root and simplify the integral.
- Partial Fractions: Used to integrate rational functions (polynomials divided by polynomials).
- Decompose the rational function into simpler fractions and integrate each term separately.
Applications of Integration
- Area Between Curves: Calculate the area between two or more curves by integrating the difference of their functions over a given interval.
- Arc Length: Find the length of a curve defined by a function over a specified interval.
- Surface Area: Determine the surface area of a solid of revolution by integrating the circumference of cross-sectional slices.
- Volume: Calculate the volume of a solid using methods like the disk method, washer method, or cylindrical shells.
Sequences and Series
- Sequences: An ordered list of numbers.
- Convergence and Divergence: Determine whether a sequence approaches a finite limit (converges) or does not (diverges).
- Series: The sum of the terms of a sequence.
- Convergence Tests: Apply tests like the integral test, comparison test, ratio test, and root test to determine the convergence or divergence of a series.
- Power Series: A series of the form Σcₙ(x - a)ⁿ, where cₙ are coefficients and a is a constant.
- Taylor and Maclaurin Series: Represent functions as infinite series.
- Taylor series is a power series representation of a function f(x) about a point x = a.
- Maclaurin series is a Taylor series centered at x = 0.
Parametric Equations
- Parametric Curves: Curves defined by expressing x and y as functions of a parameter t.
- Calculus with Parametric Curves: Find derivatives, arc lengths, and areas under parametric curves.
- Second Derivatives: Computing d²y/dx² requires careful application of the chain rule due to the parametric nature of the curve.
Other Important Concepts
- L'Hôpital's Rule: Used to evaluate limits of indeterminate forms like 0/0 or ∞/∞.
- Improper Integrals: Integrals with infinite limits of integration or discontinuous integrands.
- Determine convergence or divergence by evaluating the limit of the integral.
- Differential Equations: Equations involving derivatives of a function.
- Solving Techniques: Learn to solve separable, first-order linear, and exact differential equations.
