Study Notes
Definite Integrals
- Riemann Sum: A method to approximate the area under a curve.
- Formula: A = lim┬(n→∞)∑_(k=1)^n▒〖f(x_k )*∆x〗.
- ∆x = (b-a)/n (width of each rectangle)
- x_k = a + k∆x (x-coordinate of k-th rectangle)
- For a = 0, the specific case is ∫0^b▒〖f(x) dx= lim┬(n→∞)∑(k=1)^n▒〖f(kb/n)*b/n〗 〗 .
- For general a, to calculate ∫_a^b▒〖x^2 dx〗 : ∫_a^b▒〖x^2 dx〗= ∫_0^b▒〖x^2 dx〗-∫_0^a▒〖x^2 dx〗.
Properties of Definite Integrals
- Negative Area: A definite integral is negative if the area under the curve is below the x-axis.
- Convergence of Integrals: ∫_1^∞▒〖1/x^p dx〗 converges for all p > 1. It diverges for p ≤ 1.
Type 2 Integrals (Vertical Asymptotes)
- Integration with Asymptotes: If an asymptote is within the bounds of the integral:
- ∫_1^c▒〖f(x) dx〗 = lim┬(b→c^- )∫_1^b▒〖f(x) dx〗
- ∫_c^1▒〖f(x) dx〗 = lim┬(b→c^+ )∫_a^1▒〖f(x) dx〗 (a is a value before c on the graph).
Parametrization
-
Parametric Curves: Curve y = f(x) on interval [a,b] is represented as r(t) = (t, f(t))
-
Lines: Line through points v1, v2 in R^n: r(t) = v1 + t(v2 - v1).
-
Line Segments: r(t), 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, from v1 to v2.
-
Circles:
- Center (0,0), Radius R: r(t) = (Rcos(t), Rsin(t)) (0 ≤ t ≤ 2π).
- Center (a,b), Radius R: r(t) = (a + Rcos(t), b + Rsin(t)) (0 ≤ t ≤ 2π).
- Variations: Upper semicircle (0 ≤ t ≤ π), right semicircle, traversing twice, clockwise, etc.
- e.g., Circle Traversed Twice: r:[0, 4π] → R^2
-
Tangent Line: Steps for finding the tangent line to a parametrized curve r(t) at (x0, y0):
- Calculate r'(t).
- Find t0 such that r(t0) = (x0, y0).
- The tangent's direction vector is r'(t0).
- Calculate the slope from the direction vector and use the point-slope form to find the equation of tangent line.
Functions of Two (or Three) Variables
- Domain: Set of (x, y) pairs where f(x, y) is defined.
- Interior/Boundary Points: Interior: points contained within a disk entirely inside the domain. Boundary: points on the edge.
- Open/Closed Domains: Open: All points are interior. Closed: Includes boundary points.
- Bounded/Unbounded Domains: Bounded: Doesn't reach infinity.
- Image: Range of values z resulting from the function.
- Contour Curves/Level Sets: Collection of points on the graph with constant z-value. This forms a curve or set of points on the graph of the function.
