Study Notes
- Calculus 2 builds upon the foundations of Calculus 1, delving into more advanced integration techniques, applications of integration, sequences and series, and parametric equations.
Integration Techniques
- Integration techniques are methods used to find antiderivatives of functions, which is the reverse process of differentiation.
- U-Substitution:
- U-substitution is used to simplify integrals by substituting a part of the integrand with a new variable, 'u', making the integral easier to solve.
- It relies on recognizing a function and its derivative within the integral.
- Integration by Parts:
- Integration by parts is used to integrate the product of two functions, using the formula ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du.
- It involves choosing appropriate 'u' and 'dv' to simplify the integral.
- Trigonometric Integrals:
- Trigonometric integrals involve integrating functions containing trigonometric functions.
- Techniques include using trigonometric identities to simplify the integrand and applying u-substitution.
- Trigonometric Substitution:
- Trigonometric substitution is used for integrals containing expressions like √(a² - x²), √(a² + x²), or √(x² - a²).
- It involves substituting x with a trigonometric function to eliminate the square root.
- Partial Fraction Decomposition:
- Partial fraction decomposition is used to integrate rational functions by breaking them into simpler fractions.
- It involves factoring the denominator and expressing the rational function as a sum of partial fractions.
- Improper Integrals:
- Improper integrals are integrals where either the interval of integration is infinite or the function has a discontinuity within the interval.
- They are evaluated by taking limits as the interval approaches infinity or the point of discontinuity.
Applications of Integration
- Applications of integration extend the concept of finding areas under curves to solving various problems in geometry, physics, and engineering.
- Area Between Curves:
- The area between two curves is found by integrating the difference between the functions over the interval where one function is greater than the other.
- Volume by Disk/Washer Method:
- The disk/washer method is used to find the volume of a solid of revolution by integrating the area of disks or washers along the axis of revolution.
- Volume by Cylindrical Shells:
- The cylindrical shells method is used to find the volume of a solid of revolution by integrating the surface area of cylindrical shells parallel to the axis of revolution.
- Arc Length:
- Arc length is the length of a curve, found by integrating the square root of (1 + (dy/dx)² ) over the interval.
- Surface Area:
- Surface area is the area of the surface of a solid of revolution, found by integrating 2πr ds, where r is the radius and ds is the arc length.
- Work:
- Work is calculated by integrating the force function over the distance, representing the energy required to move an object against a force.
- Average Value of a Function:
- The average value of a function over an interval is found by integrating the function over the interval and dividing by the length of the interval.
Sequences and Series
- Sequences and series deal with ordered lists of numbers and the sums of these numbers, respectively, laying the groundwork for understanding functions as infinite sums.
- Sequences:
- A sequence is an ordered list of numbers, often defined by a formula or a recursive relation.
- Convergence and Divergence:
- A sequence converges if its terms approach a finite limit as the index goes to infinity; otherwise, it diverges.
- Series:
- A series is the sum of the terms of a sequence.
- Convergence Tests:
- Convergence tests are methods to determine whether a series converges or diverges.
- Integral Test:
- The integral test compares the convergence of a series to the convergence of an improper integral.
- Comparison Test:
- The comparison test compares a series to another series with known convergence properties.
- Limit Comparison Test:
- The limit comparison test compares the limit of the ratio of the terms of two series.
- Ratio Test:
- The ratio test uses the ratio of consecutive terms to determine convergence.
- Root Test:
- The root test uses the nth root of the absolute value of the terms to determine convergence.
- Alternating Series Test:
- The alternating series test is used for series with alternating signs.
- Power Series:
- A power series is a series where each term is a constant multiplied by a power of (x - c), where c is a constant.
- Radius and Interval of Convergence:
- The radius of convergence determines the interval around c for which the power series converges.
- Taylor and Maclaurin Series:
- A Taylor series represents a function as an infinite sum of terms involving its derivatives at a single point.
- A Maclaurin series is a Taylor series centered at zero.
- Applications of Taylor and Maclaurin Series:
- Taylor and Maclaurin series are used to approximate functions, solve differential equations, and evaluate limits.
Parametric Equations
- Parametric equations define coordinates of points on a curve as functions of a parameter, allowing for the description of more complex curves than standard functions.
- Parametric Curves:
- Parametric curves are defined by equations x = f(t) and y = g(t), where t is a parameter.
- Calculus with Parametric Curves:
- Derivatives:
- The derivative dy/dx can be found using the chain rule: dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt).
- Arc Length:
- Arc length is found by integrating √(dx/dt)² + (dy/dt)² with respect to t.
- Surface Area:
- Surface area is found by integrating 2πy √(dx/dt)² + (dy/dt)² with respect to t.
- Derivatives:
