1. (10 points) Let R be the region bounded by the curves y = x and y = x2 . Find the
centroid of R.
My Mx
Solution: The centroid is given by (x, y) where x = and y = where m is
m m
the total mass, My is the moment with respect to the y-axis, and Mx is the moment
with respect to the x-axis. The numbers can be calculated as:

2. (10 points) Find the volume of thesolid generated by revolving about the x-axis the
region bounded by the curve y = 4 x and the parabola y = 4x2 .
Solution: By drawing the graphs, we see that the curve y = 4 x is above the
parabola and they intersect at x = 0 and x = 1. Therefore, by the washer method
we have

5. (a) (5 points) Find the Taylor polynomial P2 (of degree 2) centered at c = 1 for the
function f (x) = 2 ln x.
Solution: Well need f 000 (x) and f (4) (x) for part (b) so Ill just calculate them
all here.
f (n) (x) f (n) (1)
f (x) = 2 ln x 0

f 00 (x) = 2 2

f (4) (x) = 4

So by Taylors formula,
2
P2 (x) = 0 + 2 (x 1) (x 1)2
2
= 2(x 1) (x 1)2
(b) (5 points) For the P2 (x) in part (a), derive a bound for the error:
3 5
|R2 (x)| = |2 ln x P2 (x)| for x .
4 4
12
Solution: Note that since f (4) (x) = , the third derivative, f 000 (x), is a
x4
4
decreasing function for x > 0 and so max f 000 (z) = .
3/4<z<5/4 (3/4)3
By Taylors remainder formula:
|x 1|3
|R2 (x)| max max |f 000 (z)|
3/4<x<5/4 3! 3/4<z<5/4

|x 1| 2

8. (10 points) Determine the interval of convergence for the power series n(x 3)n .
n=1
Solution: To find the interval of convergence, we start by using the Ratio Test:
(n + 1)(x 3)n+1
lim = lim (n + 1) |x 3| = |x 3|
n n (x 3) n n n
We want |x 3| < 1 which implies 1 < x 3 < 1 and 2 < x < 4. We must also
check the endpoints:
X
If x = 2, we have the series n(1)n which is an alternating series, but lim n =
n
n=1
= 6 0 so the series diverges by the alternating series test.
X
If x = 4, we have the series n and limn n = = 6 0 so the series diverges by
n=1
the nth term test.
Hence the interval of convergence is (2, 4).
