Preface
Here are the solutions to the practice problems for my Calculus I notes. Some solutions will have
more or less detail than other solutions. The level of detail in each solution will depend up on
several issues. If the section is a review section, this mostly applies to problems in the first
chapter, there will probably not be as much detail to the solutions given that the problems really
should be review. As the difficulty level of the problems increases less detail will go into the
basics of the solution under the assumption that if youve reached the level of working the harder
problems then you will probably already understand the basics fairly well and wont need all the
explanation.
This document was written with presentation on the web in mind. On the web most solutions are
broken down into steps and many of the steps have hints. Each hint on the web is given as a
popup however in this document they are listed prior to each step. Also, on the web each step can
be viewed individually by clicking on links while in this document they are all showing. Also,
there are liable to be some formatting parts in this document intended for help in generating the
web pages that havent been removed here. These issues may make the solutions a little difficult
to follow at times, but they should still be readable.

Integrals
Indefinite Integrals
1. Evaluate each of the following indefinite integrals.
(a)

6x

18 x 2 + 7 dx

Calculus I

(b)

6x

dx 18 x 2 + 7

Hint : As long as you recall your derivative rules and the fact that all this problem is really asking
is the for us to determine the function that we differentiated to get the integrand (i.e. the function
inside the integral.) this problem shouldnt be too difficult.
(a)

6x

18 x 2 + 7 dx

All we are being asked to do here is undo a differentiation and if you recall the basic
differentiation rules for polynomials this shouldnt be too difficult. As we saw in the notes for
this section all we really need to do is increase the exponent by one (so upon differentiation we
get the correct exponent) and then fix up the coefficient to make sure that we will get the correct
coefficient upon differentiation.
Here is the answer for this part.

6x

18 x 2 + 7 dx = x 6 6 x 3 + 7 x + c

Dont forget the +c! Remember that the original function may have had a constant on it and
the +c is there to remind us of that.
Also dont forget that you can easily check your answer by differentiating your answer and
making sure that the result is the same as the integrand.
(b)

6x

dx 18 x 2 + 7

This part is not really all that different from the first part. The only difference is the placement of
the dx. Recall that one of the things that the dx tells us where to end the integration. So, in the
part we are only going to integrate the first term.
Here is the answer for this part.

6x

dx 18 x 2 + 7 =x 6 + c 18 x 2 + 7

16. Evaluate 12 + csc ( ) sin ( ) + csc ( ) d .

Hint : From previous problems in this set we should know how to deal with the product in the
integrand.
Step 1
Before doing the integral we need to multiply out the product and dont forget the definition of
cosecant in terms of sine.

12 + csc ( ) sin ( ) + csc ( ) d =


12 + csc ( ) sin ( ) + csc ( ) d
= 13 + csc ( ) d
2

Recall that,

csc ( ) =

1
sin ( )

and so,

csc ( ) sin ( ) = 1
Doing this allows us to greatly simplify the integrand and, in fact, allows us to actually do the
integral. Without this simplification we would not have been able to integrate the second term
with the knowledge that we currently have.
Step 2
At this point there really isnt too much to do other than to evaluate the integral.

13 cot ( ) + c
12 + csc ( ) sin ( ) + csc ( ) d =
13 + csc ( ) d =

Dont forget that with trig functions some terms can be greatly simplified just by recalling the
definition of the trig functions and/or their relationship with the other trig functions.

Be careful with the 6 in the denominator of the third term. The best way of dealing with it in
this case is to split up the third term as weve done above and then integrate.
Note that the best way to do a problem is always relative for many Calculus problems. There
are other ways of dealing with this term (later section material) and so what one person finds the
best another may not. For us, this seems to be an easy way to deal with the 6 and not overly
complicate the integration process.

Hint : We know that integration is simply asking what function we differentiated to get the
integrand and so we should be able to use this idea to arrive at a general formula for the function.
Step 1
Recall from the notes in this section that we saw,

f ( x ) = f ( x ) dx
and so to arrive at a general formula for f ( x ) all we need to do is integrate the derivative that
weve been given in the problem statement.

f ( x ) = 12 x 2 4 x dx = 4 x3 2 x 2 + c
Dont forget the +c!
Hint : To determine the value of the constant of integration, c, we have the value of the function
at x = 3 .
Step 2

17 we can just plug x = 3 into our answer from


Because we have the condition that f ( 3) =
the previous step, set the result equal to 17 and solve the resulting equation for c.
Doing this gives,

17 =f ( 3) =
126 + c

c=

The function is then,

able to determine the general formula for h ( t ) from h ( t ) which we are given.

Calculus I

Step 1
Because we know that the 2nd derivative is just the derivative of the 1st derivative we know that,

h ( t ) = h ( t ) dt
and so to arrive at a general formula for h ( t ) all we need to do is integrate the 2nd derivative that
weve been given in the problem statement.

h ( t ) =

24t

48t + 2 dt = 8t 3 24t 2 + 2t + c

Dont forget the +c!


Hint : From the previous two problems you should be able to determine a general formula for

h ( t ) . Just dont forget that c is just a constant!


Step 2
Now, just as we did in the previous two problems, all that we need to do is integrate the 1st
derivative (which we found in the first step) to determine a general formula for h ( t ) .

h (t ) =

8t

24t 2 + 2t + c dt = 2t 4 8t 3 + t 2 + ct + d

Dont forget that c is just a constant and so it will integrate just like we were integrating 2 or 4 or
any other number. Also, the constant of integration from this step is liable to be different that the
constant of integration from the first step and so well need to make sure to call it something
different, d in this case.
Hint : To determine the value of the constants of integration, c and d, we have the value of the
function at two values that should help with that.
Step 3
Now, we know the value of the function at two values of z. So lets plug both of these into the
general formula for h ( t ) that we found in the previous step to get,

9 =h (1) =5 + c + d
4 = h ( 2 ) = 100 2c + d
Solving this system of equations (you do remember your Algebra class right?) for c and d gives,

and the midpoints of the subintervals for the height of the rectangles. Without looking at a graph

Step 1

2007 Paul Dawkins

First lets estimate the area between the function and the x-axis on the interval. The widths of
each of the subintervals for this problem are,

=

2 ( 2 ) 1
=
8
2

We dont need to actually graph the function to do this problem. It would probably help to have a
number line showing subintervals however. Here is that number line.

Now, well be using midpoints of each of these subintervals to determine the height of each of the
rectangles.
The area between the function and the x-axis is then approximately,

Area

f ( 74 ) + 12 f ( 54 ) + 12 f ( 43 ) + 12 f ( 14 ) + 12 f

( 14 ) + 12 f ( 43 ) + 12 f ( 54 ) + 12 f ( 74 ) =6

Well leave it to you to check all the function evaluations. They get a little messy, but after all
the arithmetic is done we get a net area of -6.
Step 2
Now, as we (hopefully) recall from the discussion in this section area above the x-axis is positive
and area below the x-axis is negative. In this case we have estimated that the net area is -6 and
so, assuming that our estimate is accurate, it looks like we should have more area is below the xaxis as above it.
Graph
For reference purposes here is the graph of the function with the area shaded in and as we can see
it does appear that there is slightly more area below as above the x-axis.

Now, we know that the integral is simply the area between the line and the x-axis and so we
should be able to use basic area formulas to help us determine the value of the integral. Here is a
modified graph that will help with this.

From this sketch we can see that we can think of this area as a rectangle with width 3 and height 1
and a triangle with base 3 and height 9. The value of the integral will then be the sum of the areas
of the rectangle and the triangle.

Step 2
Now, we know that the integral is simply the area between the line and the x-axis and so we
should be able to use basic area formulas to help us determine the value of the integral.
In this case we can see the area is clearly a triangle with base 5 and height 20. However, we need
to be a little careful here and recall that area that is below the x-axis is considered to be negative
area and so well need to keep that in mind when we do the area computation.

Recall that in order to do a definite integral the integrand (i.e. the function we are integrating)
must be continuous on the interval over which we are integrating,

[ 3, 4] in this case.

We can clearly see that the second term will have division by zero at x = 0 and x = 0 is in the
interval over which we are integrating and so this function is not continuous on the interval over
which we are integrating.
Therefore, this integral cannot be done.

In this case note that the third term will have division by zero at x = 0 and this is in the interval

It is often easy to overlook these kinds of division by zero problems in integrands when the
integrand is not explicitly written as a rational expression. So, be careful and dont forget that
division by zero can sometimes be hidden in the integrand!

12. Evaluate the following integral, if possible. If it is not possible clearly explain why it is not
possible to evaluate the integral.

2sec 2 ( w ) 8csc ( w ) cot ( w ) dw

Step 1
First notice that even though we do have some hidden rational expression here (in the
definitions of the trig functions) neither cosine nor sine is zero in the interval we are integrating
over and so both terms are continuous over the interval.
Therefore all we need to do integrate the function.

2sec 2 ( w ) 8csc ( w ) cot ( w ) dw =


( 2 tan ( w) + 8csc ( w) )

Recall that we dont need to add the +c in the definite integral case as it will just cancel in the
next step.

The final step is then just to do the evaluation.
Well leave the basic arithmetic to you to verify and only show the results of the evaluation.

See if you can find a good choice for c that will make this integral doable.

This integral cant be done as a single integral give the obvious change of the function at t = 1
which is in the interval over which we are integrating. However, recall that we can always break
up an integral at any point and t = 1 seems to be a good point to do this.
Breaking up the integral at t = 1 gives,

f ( t ) dt f ( t ) dt + f ( t ) dt
=

2007 Paul Dawkins

75

http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/terms.aspx

Calculus I

So, in the first integral we have 0 t 1 and so we can use f ( t ) = 1 3t 2 in the first integral.
Likewise, in the second integral we have 1 t 4 and so we can use f ( t ) = 2t in the second
integral.
Making these function substitutions gives,

2
f ( t ) dt =
1 3t dt + 2t dt

Step 2
All we need to do at this point is evaluate each integral. Here is that work.

f ( t ) dt =

1 3t 2 dt + 2t dt = ( t t 3 ) + t 2 = [ 0 0] + [16 1] = 15

g ( z ) dz

g ( z ) dz + g ( z ) dz

http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/terms.aspx

So, in the first integral we have 6 z 2 and so we can use g ( z ) = 4e z in the first integral.
Likewise, in the second integral we have 2 z 1 and so we can use g ( z )= 2 z in the
second integral.
Making these function substitutions gives,

g ( z )=

2 x 10 dx

Hint : In order to do this integral we need to remove the absolute value bars from the integrand
and we should know how to do that by this point.
Step 1
Well need to remove the absolute value bars in order to do this integral. However, in order to
do that well need to know where 2 x 10 is positive and negative.
Since 2 x 10 is the equation of a line is should be fairly clear that we have the following
positive/negative nature of the function.

x<5
x>5

2 x 10 < 0
2 x 10 > 0

Step 2
So, to remove the absolute value bars all we need to do then is break the integral up at x = 5 .

2 x 10 dx = 2 x 10 dx + 2 x 10 dx
77

http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/terms.aspx

( 2 x 10 ) in the first
So, in the first integral we have 3 x 5 and so we have 2 x 10 =
integral. Likewise, in the second integral we have 5 x 6 and so we have 2 x 10 = 2 x 10
in the second integral. Or,

2 x 10 dx = ( 2 x 10 ) dx + 2 x 10 dx

Step 3
All we need to do at this point is evaluate each integral. Here is that work.

2 x 10 dx = 2 x + 10 dx + 2 x 10 dx =( x 2 + 10 x ) + ( x 2 10 x )

possible to evaluate the integral.

4 w + 3 dw

Hint : In order to do this integral we need to remove the absolute value bars from the integrand
and we should know how to do that by this point.
Step 1
Well need to remove the absolute value bars in order to do this integral. However, in order to
do that well need to know where 4 w + 3 is positive and negative.
Since 4 w + 3 is the equation a line is should be fairly clear that we have the following
positive/negative nature of the function.

w < 34

4w + 3 < 0

w > 34

4w + 3 > 0

Step 2
So, to remove the absolute value bars all we need to do then is break the integral up at w = 34 .

2007 Paul Dawkins

34

4 w + 3 dw + 3 4 w + 3 dw

78

http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/terms.aspx

Calculus I

( 4 w + 3) in the first
So, in the first integral we have 1 w 34 and so we have 4 w + 3 =
integral. Likewise, in the second integral we have 34 w 0 and so we have

4 w + 3 = 4 w + 3 in the second integral. Or,

34

4 w + 3 dw = ( 4 w + 3) dw + 3 4 w + 3 dw

Step 3
All we need to do at this point is evaluate each integral. Here is that work.

4 w + 3 dw = 4 w 3 dw + 3 4 w + 3 dw =

6. Evaluate the following integral, if possible. If it is not possible clearly explain why it is not
possible to evaluate the integral.

1x

x3 + e 4 dx

Step 1
The first step that we need to do is do the substitution.
At this point you should be fairly comfortable with substitutions. If you are not comfortable with
substitutions you should go back to the substitution sections and work some problems there.
Before setting up the substitution well need to break up the integral because the first term doesnt
need a substitution. Doing this gives,

1x

x3 + e 4 dx =

x3 dx + e 4 dx
1x

The substitution for the second integral is then,

u = 14 x

Here is the actual substitution work for this second integral.

having to deal with the back substitution after doing the integral.

Solution
Be very careful with this problem. Recall that we can only do definite integrals if the integrand
(i.e. the function we are integrating) is continuous on the interval over which we are integrating.
In this case the second term has division by zero at x = 2 and so is not continuous on [1,5] and
therefore this integral cant be done.
