Solution

Rapid Recall

Most of the questions today require a very short answer. I'd like you to focus on just giving the missing pieces, rather than trying to write down the entire problem. We'll do several of these in rapid succession (you can review all the details for the ones you want to) after class.

  • Fill in the blanks below, using the substitution $u=x^2$: $$\int_{3}^{7}xe^{x^2}dx = \int_{\_}^{49}e^{u}(\_)du .$$

Solution

$$\int_{3}^{7}xe^{x^2}dx = \int_{9}^{49}xe^{u}(\frac{1}{2x})du .$$

  • Fill in the missing pieces below: $$\int_{0}^{3}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{9-x^2}}x dydx=\int_{?}^{?}\int_{?}^{?}(?)(?)drd\theta.$$

Solution

$$\int_{0}^{3}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{9-x^2}}x dydx=\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\int_{0}^{3}(r\cos\theta)(r)drd\theta.$$

  • The points $P=(1,2,3)$ and $Q=(x,y,z)$ lie in a plane. A normal vector to this plane is $\vec n = (4,5,6)$. Give a single number for the dot product $\vec {PQ}\cdot \vec n$, in other words fill in the question mark below. $$4(x-1)+5(y-2)+6(z-3)=?$$

Solution

The vectors $\vec {PQ}$ and $\vec n$ are orthogonal so their dot product is zero. This gives $$4(x-1)+5(y-2)+6(z-3)=0,$$ which is an equation of the plane containing $P$ with normal vector $\vec n$.

  • (Mentally complete - don't write the answer as it would take forever) For the curve $\vec r(t)=(4t^2, 5t-1,t^3)$, the velocity is $\vec v(t) =(8t,5,3t^2)$ and speed is $v(t) = \sqrt{(8t)^2+(5)^2+(3t^2)^2}$. A wire lies along this curve for $1\leq t\leq 4$, and has density function given by $\delta = xy$. Set up an integral that gives $\bar y$.

$$\bar y = \frac{\int_1^4(?)(?)(?)dt}{\int_1^4(?)(?)dt}$$

Solution

Remember that $ds = vdt = \sqrt{(8t)^2+(5)^2+(3t^2)^2} dt$. We compute $$\begin{align} \bar y &=\frac{\int_C y dm}{\int_C dm}\\ &=\frac{\int_C y \delta ds}{\int_C \delta ds} \\ &=\frac{\int_C y (xy) ds}{\int_C (xy) ds} \\ &=\frac{\int_1^4 (5t-1) (4t^2(5t-1)) \sqrt{(8t)^2+(5)^2+(3t^2)^2} dt}{\int_1^4 (4t^2(5t-1)) \sqrt{(8t)^2+(5)^2+(3t^2)^2} dt}. \end{align} $$

  • For the change of coordinates $x = 2u+3v$ and $y=4u+5v$ we have $$\begin{pmatrix}dx\\dy\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}2\\4\end{pmatrix}du+\begin{pmatrix}3\\5\end{pmatrix}dv.$$ What is the Jacobian of this transformation, in other words fill in the blank below: $$\iint_{R_{xy}} dxdy = \iint_{R_{uv}}(?)dudv.$$

Solution

The Jacobian is the area of the parallelogram formed by the partial derivatives $(2,4)$ and $(3,5)$, namely $J=\dfrac{\partial(x,y)}{\partial(u,v)} = |2\cdot 5-3\cdot 4| = 2$. This means $$\iint_{R_{xy}} dxdy = \iint_{R_{uv}}(2)dudv.$$

  • Find a nonzero vector that is orthogonal to both $(a,b,c)$ and $(d,e,f)$.

Solution

The cross product gives $(bf-ce, cd-af,ae-bd)$. Here are some ways to remember it.

Group problems

Please use the following sheet to let me know where your group is at in the problems.

  1. Compute $\ds \int_{0}^{4}\int_{8}^{2x}e^{y^2}dydx$. [Hint: Swap the order of integration first.]
  2. Draw the region described the bounds of each integral. (Remember you can use a Mathematica notebook Integration.nb to check your work.)

    1. The mass of a disc that lies inside the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ and has density function given by $\delta = x+10$
    2. The $x$-coordinate of the center of mass (so $\bar x$) of the disc above.
    3. The $z$-coordinate of the center-of-mass (so $\bar z$) of the solid object in the first octant (all variables positive) that lies under the plane $2x+3y+6z=6$.
    4. The $y$-coordinate of the center-of-mass (so $\bar y$) of the same object.
