VARIOUSEQUATIONDERIVATIONS
1.1 EXP ON ENT IAL
The constantebecomes approached as the number of compoundingsnbecome large. Here, the rate is 100%, and
the time intervalt= 1. Then, we let ngrown larger and see that the compounding equation begins to approach theideal of continuous compounding by way of computation:
In Calculus, we will be able to get-at this number more exactly. Next, once we see that (1 + 1/n)n e, we canadapt this approximation to see that the compounding equation approximates continuous compounding for n
large enough.
Letrbe the desired rate. Replacingnwithn/ris okay, because if our rate is less than 100%, thenn/rbecomes
larger sincer< 1, and our calculation converges even faster. On the other hand, ifr> 1, then it is true thatn/rbecomes smaller, but I claim that we only need to takenout further in that case to get our calculation to converge
to the desired level of accuracy. Thus the claim is that:

1.2 DEMOIVRE
1.2.1 POLYGONS IN THE COMPLEX-PLANE
One of the many many reasons that DeMoivres theorem is so useful is that it gives us a really cool way to program
polygons.
Consider the example of an heptagon. Dividing the unit-circle into seven equal arcs reveals each to be = 2/7
One of the vertices should be (1,0). The next vertex, we label , and the special math word for it is primitive.
Notice that = cos+ isin.Next, squaring this complex number reveals the next vertex my DeMoivres Theorem: 2 = cos2 = isin2, so
that themth vertex is m = cosm+ isinm, and 7 = (1,0) = 0.One could just as easily use this process to build the regular n-gon, since = 2/n, and then= cos+ isin,
the primitive vertex, and the subsequent vertices:m = cosm+ isin m.*Notice that as the number of vertices of our regular n-gon becomes larger and larger, the polygon will begin to
approximate a circle, the edges becoming finer and finer.

1.3 UNI TCIRCLE IN THECOMPLEXPLANECONTINUED(EULERSFORMULA)
"one of the most remarkable, almost astounding, formulas in all of mathematics." Richard Feynman
We have already seen that the unit-circle in the complex plane is mapped-out by cos+ isin.Beforewe cancontinue, I will need to introduce some important approximations, namely, as the angle becomes
small, approaching zero, let us see what happens to our elementary trig-functions:
Notice that for a desired level of accuracy, whenever 0, we see that cos 1 and sin . These are impor-tant approximations which are used often in physics.
In particular, for this section, for any angle, notice that/ngoes to zero as nbecomes larger and larger, so
that fornlarge enough, /n
0, and: cos n+ isin n 1+ in().Next, recall that negative and rational exponents made perfect sense when they were explored, and irrational
exponents almost made sense from an approximation stand-point. However, at this point we are going to jump
into the deep-end of abstraction, and attempt to discuss a complex-exponent! Even the existence ofi is highly
questionable, to attempt to take a number to the power ofiis highly questionable. However, the result is of such
fundamental importance and beauty that one wonders.
DeMoivre allows us to take the nth power of both sides of () to get cos+ isin1+ in
n. Now, whatever ei
is, it should be approximated by the same as er. Therefore, fornlarge enough, we have:
cos+ isin
1+ in
n ei
Notice that the left-most and right-most sides have no reference to n, only that nneeds to be large enough to
make the approximation accurate enough. Now, we will do a Calculus-thing, lettingnactually go to infinity will
cause the approximations to become exact! And: cos+ isin = ei , and the complex exponential actually mapsout the unit-circle, in much the same way as DeMoivre maps out a polygon!

For a specific distance c, let the focus F1 be the point whose distance is calong the x-axis in the negative
direction. Similarly, let the focus F2be the point whose distance iscalong thex-axis in the positive direction. The
distance between the fociF1andF2is 2c. Also, fix a value for a
The hyperbola is defined as the collection of points Pwhose difference of the distance from F2to Pand F1to P
is fixed at 2a. More explicitly, |distance(F2, P) distance(F1, P)| = 2a.We will show that the equation of the points along the hyperbola is given by the equation:
x2
a2 y
2
c2 a2= 1
The vast majority of students skip this derivation altogether. The more astute will derive it with the use of a
computer algebra software. Only the truly mad would attempt to derive this by hand. So, here we go:
First, notice that along the x-axis, this points (a,0) are the appropriate distance from our foci, because theirdistance is (c+ a) (c a) = 2a, showing that these two points are on the hyperbola.
We derive the left-hand branch, the right-hand branch should be similar. LetP(x,y) be a point on the left-
branch. By the distance formula, distance(F2, P) =
(xc)2 +y2 and distance(F1, P) =
(x+c)2 +y2, so that bydefinition:
2a=
(xc)2 +y2
(x+c)2 +y2
It is from consideration of this equation that the result will come. Left-hand-side and right-hand-side of the
equation will be abbreviatedL.H.S.andR.H.S., respectively. Squaring both sides yields:
4a2 = (
(x c)2 +y2
(x+ c)2 +y2)2 = (x c)2 +y2 2

(x+c)2 +y2 = 2x2 + 2y2 + 2c2 2[((xc)2 +y2)((x+c)2 +y2)]1/2

CHAPTER1
LIMITS
1.1 FORMALDEFINITION OFL IMITS ANDPROOFS OFL IMITPROPERTIES
Note to Instructor: Many instructors choose to skip this section because it is too advanced for most first-year
students of Calculus. If it is required as part of the curriculum; make sure to calm the students down (had one
student walk out of the class muttering obscentities, and several others drop as a result of this lecture, and the
topic did not even show up on the exams). Nevertheless, exposure to formal \limits is invaluable, even if not all
of its subtleties are grasped the first-time-around.
The limit properties appear as Theorem 1.2 in Larsons Calculus book[3], section 1.3.
First assume that we are given that limxcf(x) = L, also we are given an > 0.
1. To show that for any real-number b, limxcbf(x) = bL, we know that there is a > 0 such that for anyxin the
interval |xc| < , then we can say that f(x) is in the interval |f(x) L| < |b| .From this we know that for anyxin |x c| < , then |bf(x) b L| = |b(f(x) L)| = |b||f(x) L| < |b| |b|=.Next, suppose that lim
xcg(x) = K.2. Then, we want to show that lim
xcf(x)+ g(x) = L+ K.To show this, we first need the Triangle Inequality, that is, for any two numbersxandy, we know that |x+y|
|x| + |y|. There is a way to visualize this using a triangle, however I usually find it easier to say that introducingabsolute values on the inside will only make the quantity larger, because off-set signs will detract from eachother,
whereas if both of the signs ofxand yare the same, then the sum will be larger than if they are not the same:
|x+y| | |x|+ |y||, and then because ||x|+ |y|| is positive, can drop the outer-most absolute value:|x+y| | |x|+ |y| |= |x|+ |y|.Now, we can return to showing that lim
xcf(x) + g(x) = L+ K. We know that there is a1 such that|x c| < 1implies that |f(x) L| < /2. Similarly, there is a 2such that |x c| < 2implies that |g(x) K| < /2.
Then, let= min{1,2} (Takethe smaller of the two deltas). Then, |xc| < implies that |f(x)+g(x)(L+K)| =|f(x) L+ g(x) K| |f(x) L|+ |g(x) K| < 2 + 2= (Where the is because of the Triangle Inequality).
3. Showing that limxcf(x) g(x) = LK is slightly more difficult, and may not be what you expect.
First, There are 1,2 > 0, and letting= min{1,2}, then |xc| < implies that |f(x)L| < and |g(x)K| 0 such that |g(x) K|

Next, the hat-trick: 1g(x) 1K=
Kg(x)g(x)K= 1|K g(x)| |Kg(x)| = 1|K| 1|g(x)| |Kg(x)| < 1|K| 2|K| |g(x) K| < 2|K|2 |K|
2
2 =
This shows that limxc
1g(x)= 1K.
To finish, we only need to use 3: lim
xc
f(x)g(x)
=lim
xcf(x) 1g(x)
=L1K
=L/K.
5. For integer exponents, it is easy to showthat limxc[f(x)]
n = Ln, because we can use rules 3 and 4. For example,limxc[f(x)]
4 = limxc[f(x) f(x) f(x) f(x)] = LLLL= L
4. Similarly, limxc[f(x)]
3 = limxc
1[f(x)]3
= 1L1L1L.For rational exponents, it will be easier to show a stronger rule first, namely that the limit can be evaluated
inside of a continuous function.

This next Theorem is modified slightly from Larsons [3] Theorem 1.5. its proof is also modified from[3], Ap-
pendix A.
This deals with the composition of two functions, and shows that their limits also compose. Suppose that we
know that limxcg(x) = Land that limxLf(x) = K. Then, we want to show that The function composition, limxcf(g(x)) =
K.
Proof. Given > 0, we know that there exists a > 0 such that |u L| < implies that |f(u) K| < .Furthermore, we know that there exists a > 0 such that |x c| < implies that |g(x) L| < .Simply letu= g(x), then |xc| < implies that |g(x) L| < , which then implies that |f(g(x)) K| <
1.1.1 - LIMITSThe infinite case is similar, and I claim that infinite case depends on the finite case provided you first show the
composition rule. The argument is very similar to the finite case. Let > 0 be given.Suppose that lim
xf(x) = Land limxLg(x) = K. Then, we want to show that the composition, limxg(f(x)) = K.Based on the given information, for any > 0, there exists a such thatx> implies that |f(x) L| < . Also
from the given, there exists a > 0 such that|y L| < implies that|g(y) K| < . Composing the two, lettingy=f(x) yields that |g(f(x)) K| <
Next, suppose that limxcf(x) = , and limxg(x) = K, then want to show that the composition limxcg(f(x)) = K.
From the given information, for any, there is a > 0 such that |xc| < implies that f(x) >.Also, from the given, there is a specific such thaty> implies that |g(y) K| < .We can now compose, lettingy=f(x), and so |g(f(x)) K| < , as desiredThe other composition rules should be similar in their justifictation.
Next, I show the other operations, let = +,, ,. This uses primarily the composition rule and the finite rules:
limxf(x) g(x) = limx0+ f
1
x
g

x
= lim
x0+f

We have now established the rule for the operations = ,+,, ,.
1.2 EXP ON ENT IAL
Lety= limx

lny= limx ln

Next, since 1/x 0 as x , and does so in a positive/decreasing way, (*) is equal to limt0+
ln(1+t)t . Since ln1 = 0,
can subtract it from the numerator, and since ln is differentiable, by definition we have:

DIFFERENTIATION INTHEORY
2.1 INVERSEDERIVATIVES
First Apply Axlers treatment of inverse functions[1] (p. 204). Then, switch to Hass[2] p.104. This is a visual for
b=f(a) f1(b) = a, supposingfis invertible. Then:
(f1)(b) = 1f(a)
= 1f(f1(b))
.
Then, a notation change:
d f1
d x
x=b
= 1d fd x
x=b
In addition to the graph, this can also be shown using the chain rule:
f(f1(x)) = x 1 = dd x
f(f1(x)) =f(f1(x)) dd x
f1(x) dd x
f1(x) = 1f(f1(x))
.

DIFFERENTI ATION INPRACTICE
3.1 EXT RE ME VALUE S OF FUNCTIONS
Theorem 1. Extreme values of continuous functions occur at critical values, or at end-points.
The intuition is as follows. Suppose thatcis a maximum or a minumum for a continuous function f. Iff(c) is
undefined, i.e. f is not differentiable atc, thencis a critical for f by definition. So, suppose thatf(c) exists. Then,it is either positive, negative, or zero. We want to show that it only makes sense for f(c) to be zero. If it is positve ornegative, then whenxis sufficiently close toc, the graph off looks like one of these two graphs:
Clearly, in either case,ccan be neither a max nor a min, because you need only to go a little to the left or right
to get a value on f that is more or less thanf(c).
Therefore, by process of elimination, f(c) = 0, andcis a critical value for f.Theorem 2. RollesTheorem: If f is continuous on[a, b] and differentiable on(a, b), and suppose f(a) =f(b). Then,there exists a c between a and b such that f(c) = 0.
Iffis a constant function, then f = 0. If fis not a constant function, then there is anxbetweenaandbsuchthat f(x) = f(a) nor f(b). By Extreme Value Theorem, continuity of f implies that fattains a maximum and aminimum on (a, b), and one of these is not one of the endpoints because f(x) is more-than or less-than f(a) and
f(b). Label this extreme value c. Finally, previous theorem3.1implies that cmust be a critical, and differentiability
on (a, b) implies thatf(c) = 0.

INTEGRATION INTHEORY
1.1 A RE AAPPROXIMATION
1 .1 .1 SUMMATIONNOTATION
Fibonacci SequenceFirst, an example of a famous sequence of numbers. This is commonly attributed to the
mathematician Fibonacci of Pisa, although it is believed that he didnot invent it. The sequence beginswith 0 and1,then the next numberis found by addingthe previous two. Thefirst several terms: 0,1, 1,2, 3,5,8, 13,21,34,55,89,144,233,37
if you letA(n) be the nth element in the sequence, then A(n) = A(n1)+A(n2) [i.e., the sum of the previoustwo elements. This is an example of a recursively defined sequence. It requires that you know A(0)=0 andA(1) = 1.
This sequence is very interesting, and involves the golden-ratio, which unfortunately goes beyond the scope of
this course, except to say that the sequence has a closed-form definition in addition to the recursive definition.
The golden-ratio:
= 1+

letter sigma () to indicate that we are taking a summation. In the previous example, we could abbreviate adding
any number of terms in the Fibonacci sequence, lets say the first 16 terms:
0+ 1+ 1+2+ 3+ 5+8+ 13+ 21+34+55+ 89+ 144+ 233+ 377+ 610+ 987 =A(0)+A(1)+A(2)+A(3)+A(4)+A(5)+A(6)+A(7) +A(8)+A(9)+A(10)+A(11)+A(12)+A(13)+A(14)+A(15)
=15
n=0A(n)
Since A(0) = 0, why not just call it
15n=1A(n). We will study summations in intricate detail in this course.

The fact thatn
i=1C= Cnis clear, pretty much from the definitionof multiplication, for example 2+2+2+2+2 = 25.

To see thatn
i=1i= n(n+1)
2 , visualize this as dot-counting:
You want to count the number of red-dots. So, you make a congruent triangle of green dots inverted, and placed
on top of the red-triangle. Then, theresult is a rectangle, the base of which has n+1 dots, and the height has ndots.Then, there are a total ofn(n+ 1) dots in the rectangle, exactly half of which are red.
Source:
Next, to see thatn
i=1i2 = n(n+ 1)(2n+ 1)
6 , see the diagram below:
One of the pyramids pictured in the top-left has the desired volume. Thus, when you put the three together,
slicing half of the top piece, and reflecting it, it forms a perfect rectangular prism. Then, the following formula is
achieved:
3 n
i=1i2 = n(n+ 1)(n+ 1/2)
Simplification yields the desired formula.[4]
The Evidence thatn
i=1i3 =
ni=1
i
2can be seen in the following diagram[4]:

1.2 THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OFCAL CU LU S
Now that you have completed these activities, you are ready to derive one of the most powerful results in Calculus!
What you have shown essentially is that the derivative of the area under a curve function is equal to the function of
the curve itself. In other words, if you know the anti-derivative, you can find the area.
The first part of the Fundamental Theorem is stated precisely: Let fbe a continuous function on the interval
[a, b], andF(x) =x
a f(t)d t. We know thatF(x) is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b).
F(x) = dd x
xa
f(t)d t=f(x).
The second part ofThe Fundamental Theoremstates that if fis a continuous function on the interval [a, b],
andFis an anti-derivative off on [a, b], then we can calculate the area exactly:
ba
f(x)d x= F(b) F(a)
The proof of this is based on what we have already shown, namely that F(x) = dd xx
a f(t)d t. This is incredible,
since it implies that there is a constant Csuch that:
F(x)+
C=
x
a
f(t)d t
Then, substitutex= ainto this function to get:
F(a)+C=a
af(t)d t= 0
Since there is no area within a vertical line atx= a. But this implies that C=F(a), which yields:
F(x) F(a) =x
af(t)d t
Now, simply substitutex= binto this function to get the desired result:
ba f(t)d t= F(b) F(a)
1.2.1 SIMPSONSMETHOD
Small parabolas can be used to approximate a curve even more accurately than rectangles or trapazoids.
Divide the interval [a, b] into an even number of sub-intervals. Consider a single cross-section, as though it
were centered at the origin (for the area will be the same no matter where it is horizontally located.

TheAreaof this cross-section can be found by integrating under the curve:
hh
Ax2+B x+C d x= Ax3
3 +B x
2
2 +C x
hh
= Ah3
3 + Bh
2
2 +C h
A(h)3
3 + B(h)
2
2 C h
= 2Ah
3
3 +2C h= h
3(2Ah2+6C)
Now, from the points on the curve, (h,y0),(0,y1), (h,y2), we achieve the system of equations;
y0=
Ah2
Bh
+C
y1 = Cy2 = Ah2 + Bh+C
Next, by subtractingy1 = Cfrom both sides, we achieve:
y0 y1 = Ah2 Bhy2 y1 = Ah2 + Bh
Finally, adding them together reveals:y0 +y2 2y1 = 2Ah2, substituting them intoAreaof the section,Area= h3 (y0 +4y1 +y2). And, adding all of the areas of each section together:
ba
f(x)d xh

sec xd x=sec xsec x+ tan xsec x+ tan x
d x=
sec2 x+sec xtan xsec x+ tan x
d x
Substitution ofu= sec x+ tan xyields d u= sec xtan x+ sec2 xd x, and the integral becomes
d uu = ln |u| =
ln |sec x+ tan x|+C.In order to integrate csc x, we must first find a few more derivatives. For example, dd xcsc x= dd x 1sin x= cos xsin2 x=csc xcot x[By quotient rule].Similarly, the dd xcot x= dd x cos xsin x= sin
2 xcos2 xsin2 x
= csc2 x. With these derivatives in mind, we can integrate:
csc xd x=
csc xcsc x+cot xcsc x+cot xd x=
csc2 x+csc xcot x
csc x+ cot x d x
Then, substitution ofu= csc x+cot ximplies (1)du= csc xcot x+csc2 xd x, andthe integral becomes (1)
d uu=
ln |u| = ln |csc x+cot x|+C.

Solution:
(b)V= 2r+h
rrd r =[(r+h)2 r2] = (2r)h+h2 = Ah+ 1
2rAh2 = A(h+ 1

APPENDIX: DERIVATIONS THAT DO NOT USECALCULUS
3.1 GEOMETRICDERIVATIONS
3.1 .1 A REA OF A SLICE OF PIZZA AND ARC-LENGTH
The circle has arear2. Withmeasured in radians, you can imagine that a slice is a proportion, or fraction of
the overall circle. The ratio is : 2. And so, the area of the slice:
A=r2 2
= 12r2
.
Sometimes it is easier to measure by the length of the arc. by using a similar proportion as before, the circum-ference of the circle is 2r, and so the length of the arc on the slice: S= 2r
2= r .
Now, using circumference proportionS: 2r, the area of the slice is:
A=r2 S2r
= 12
S r
.
3 .1.2 SURFACEAREA OF A FRUSTUM
2Here r is the radius of the top-circle, Ris the radius of the bottom circle, and Lis the length of the lateral-edge (see
figure).

Notice that an invisible cone-top is added to the figure, and two more measurement are made: L1is the total
length of the side of the cone, andL2is the length of the invisible cone that was added to the frustum.
Notice also that a ratio of hypotenuse to side lengths of two right-triangles can be made:
L1
R =L
R r.
From this, we see thatL1 =RL
R r. Also, note thatL2 = L1 L=RL
R r L.The circumferences of bottom and top circles are respectively: s1= 2Rand s2= 2r. Take scissors and cut
alongL, and unroll to make:
Notice thats1ands2now form arcs. So, from the pizza-slice area formula, the Surface Area of the frustum is:
S A= 12
s1L1 1
2s2L2 =R
RL
R r r r L
R r =(R2 r2)L
R r =(R+ r)L
If you know the length of the height h instead of the length of the side L, you can move halongr until r
vanishes. This will form a right-triangle whose legs are R r andh, and hypotenuse L. Then, by Pythagorean:L=(R r)
2 +h2.
