9) Graph the following functions and then rotate the formed
region about
the line x=2. Then determine the volume of the solid created.
Solution:
Using the shell method our radius for each shell is r=(2-x) and the
height of each shell is the function value -x2+4. This gives the
following integral

10) Consider the following integral
First, evaluate this integral using a geometric argument. Then solve
the integral using trig substitution and verify that both answers
agree.
Solution:
We know that
is the equation of a semicircle with
radius 2, and our limits of integration assure us that we are
determining the area of 1/4 of this circle. Therefore,
Using trig substitution let

Section 4
Determine the convergence or divergence of the following series, being
sure to tell which test you are using. When possible, determine the
sum of the series. If you can only estimate the sum, decide the
accuracy of your approximation.
11)
Solution:
It is easy to show that any exponential function will eventually grow
faster than any polynomila function. So
.
This can also be shown through L'Hopital's rule.
The series diverges by the nth term test.
12)
hint:
Solution:
The geometric series converges to
because its
index starts at n=1. Therefore, knowing that 1/n2 is a
convergent p-series
13)
Solution:
which forms a convergent p-series. Therefore, the series
converges by direct comparison.
Theorem 8.16 says that if
converges, then
also converges.
Therefore, the original series
converges by Theorem 8.16.
14)
Solution:
The series converges by the Alternating Series Test. Using the Ratio
Test,
The positive series converges by the Ratio Test and so the original
alternating series
converges absolutely.
15)
Solution:
Using the Limit Comparison test and the convergent Geometric Series
Therefore, the series converges by the Limit Comparison Test.
16)
Solution:
and
is a convergent p-series. Therefore the oringinal series
converges by Direct Comparison.

Series.
17) Determine the first 4 nonzero terms of the Taylor Polynomial

Solution:
Recall that a Taylor Polynomial centered at c is of the form
Next we get
18) Determine the radius of convergence of the
following power series. Then
find the Interval of Convergence for the power series
Solution:
Using the Ratio Test
Therefore,
The Radius of convergence is R=3. Next we must check the endpoints.
When x=-1
When x=5
Therefore the Interval of Convergence is (-1,5)
19) Determine the value n such that the nthdegree Maclaurin Polynomial
approximation of e1/2 has an error of
less than .01.
Remember that
.
hint: Let
Solution:
Clearly we will be approximating the function ex with the Maclaurin
Series and the n+1st derivative of ex is ex. Knowing that
this is a Maclaurin Series c=0 and we are approximating e1/2and so x=1/2. Plugging into our error formula we get
where z lies in between zero and 1/2.
We want to make this fraction as large as possible before we choose
the value n that will work, therefore let z=1/2.
Letting n=3 we get
So, choosing n=3 and evaluating S3 of the Taylor Polynomial will
approxiamte e1/2 with .01 of the true value.

.
Solution:
The formula for Fluid Force is
where h(y) is depth as a function of y and L(y) is the length of
each segment as a function of y. Let
We then arrive at the following integral
