Answer

\(F^{\prime}(x)=-6x^2\sin(x^3)=f(x)\), so \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\).

Let \(f(x) = e^{2x} + \frac{1}{x+2}\) for \(x>-2\). Find the antiderivative \(F\) of \(f\) whose graph passes through \((0, 1.5)\).

Hints

- Which integration rules apply to the two terms? - What equation follows from the point on the graph? - How can you use that equation to find \(C\)? - Keep the logarithm's domain in mind.

Solution

1. Integrate each term: \(F(x)=\frac{1}{2}e^{2x}+\ln(x+2)+C\). The domain condition \(x>-2\) makes \(x+2>0\). 2. Use \(F(0)=1.5\): \(\frac{1}{2}+\ln(2)+C=1.5\). 3. Solve for the constant: \(C=1-\ln(2)\). 4. Therefore, \(F(x)=\frac{1}{2}e^{2x}+\ln(x+2)+1-\ln(2)\).

Answer

\(F(x)=\frac{1}{2}e^{2x}+\ln(x+2)+1-\ln(2)\)

For \(k\ne 0\), let \(f_k(x)=\cos(kx)\). Find every antiderivative of \(f_k\) whose minimum value is exactly \(0\).

Hints

- Find the general antiderivative of \(\cos(kx)\). - Determine the range of \(\frac{1}{k}\sin(kx)\). - How does adding \(C\) shift the range vertically? - Set the minimum of the shifted range equal to \(0\).

Solution

1. The general antiderivative is \(F_k(x)=\frac{1}{k}\sin(kx)+C\). 2. Since \(\sin(kx)\) ranges from \(-1\) to \(1\), the term \(\frac{1}{k}\sin(kx)\) ranges from \(-\frac{1}{|k|}\) to \(\frac{1}{|k|}\). 3. Therefore, the minimum value of \(F_k\) is \(C-\frac{1}{|k|}\). 4. Set the minimum equal to \(0\): \(C-\frac{1}{|k|}=0\), so \(C=\frac{1}{|k|}\). 5. Thus \(F_k(x)=\frac{1}{k}\sin(kx)+\frac{1}{|k|}\).

Answer

\(F_k(x)=\frac{1}{k}\sin(kx)+\frac{1}{|k|}\)

Let \(g(x)=6\sin(3x+2)\). Find all antiderivatives \(G\) of \(g\) that take both positive and negative values.

Hints

- First find the general antiderivative of \(g\). - Determine the range of the cosine term. - What must be true of the minimum and maximum for the function to have both signs? - Solve the resulting inequalities for \(C\).

Solution

1. The general antiderivative is \(G(x)=-2\cos(3x+2)+C\). 2. Because cosine ranges from \(-1\) to \(1\), the term \(-2\cos(3x+2)\) ranges from \(-2\) to \(2\). Thus the range of \(G\) is \([C-2, C+2]\). 3. For \(G\) to take both positive and negative values, its minimum must be below \(0\) and its maximum above \(0\): \(C-2<0\) and \(C+2>0\). 4. These inequalities give \(-2<C<2\).

Answer

\(G(x)=-2\cos(3x+2)+C\), where \(C\in(-2, 2)\)

Hints

- Find an antiderivative of each term separately. - Check the sign that comes from the derivative of \(2-x\). - Use the given value to solve for the integration constant. - Differentiate your result to verify it.

Solution

1. Integrate each term: \(F(x)=\frac{1}{8}x^4+e^{2-x}+C\). 2. Apply \(F(2)=10\): \(\frac{1}{8}(2)^4+e^0+C=10\). 3. Simplify: \(2+1+C=10\), so \(C=7\). 4. Therefore, \(F(x)=\frac{1}{8}x^4+e^{2-x}+7\).

Answer

\(F(x)=\frac{1}{8}x^4+e^{2-x}+7\)
52478212
Find an antiderivative \(F\) of \(f(x)=\frac{2}{x+3}-\cos\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\) for \(x>-3\) that satisfies \(F(0)=0\).

Hints

- Which function has a derivative of the form \(\frac{1}{x+a}\)? - Account for the linear inner function when integrating the cosine term. - Use \(F(0)=0\) to isolate \(C\). - A logarithm property can combine the two logarithmic terms.

Solution

1. Integrate each term: \(F(x)=2\ln(x+3)-2\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+C\). The domain condition ensures \(x+3>0\). 2. Apply \(F(0)=0\): \(2\ln(3)-2\sin(0)+C=0\). 3. Therefore, \(C=-2\ln(3)\). 4. The required antiderivative is \(F(x)=2\ln(x+3)-2\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)-2\ln(3)\).

Answer

\(F(x)=2\ln(x+3)-2\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)-2\ln(3)\), equivalently \(F(x)=2\ln\left(\frac{x+3}{3}\right)-2\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\)

Let \(f(x)=2e^{3x+3}-4x\). Find the antiderivative \(F\) of \(f\) that satisfies \(F(-1)=5\).

Hints

- Integrate the exponential and polynomial terms separately. - How does the derivative of \(3x+3\) affect the exponential antiderivative? - Substitute the given input and output to find \(C\). - Solve the resulting equation for the unknown constant.

Solution

1. Integrate term by term: \(F(x)=\frac{2}{3}e^{3x+3}-2x^2+C\). 2. Apply \(F(-1)=5\): \(\frac{2}{3}e^0-2(-1)^2+C=5\). 3. Simplify: \(\frac{2}{3}-2+C=5\), so \(-\frac{4}{3}+C=5\). 4. Thus, \(C=\frac{19}{3}\), and \(F(x)=\frac{2}{3}e^{3x+3}-2x^2+\frac{19}{3}\).

Answer

\(F(x)=\frac{2}{3}e^{3x+3}-2x^2+\frac{19}{3}\)

Let \(f(x)=x^2-5\) and \(g(x)=\frac{1}{3}x+2\). a) Show that \(H(x)=\left(\frac{1}{3}x+2\right)^3-5x\) is an antiderivative of \(h(x)=f(g(x))\). b) Find the antiderivative \(K\) of \(k(x)=6g(f(x))\) that satisfies \(K(3)=20\).

Hints

- How do you differentiate a composite function? - What equation must hold for one function to be an antiderivative of another? - Compose the functions before integrating. - How does a specified function value determine the integration constant?

Solution

1. For part a, compose the functions: \(h(x)=f(g(x))=\left(\frac{1}{3}x+2\right)^2-5\). 2. Differentiate \(H\): \(H'(x)=3\left(\frac{1}{3}x+2\right)^2\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)-5=\left(\frac{1}{3}x+2\right)^2-5=h(x)\). Therefore, \(H\) is an antiderivative of \(h\). 3. For part b, \(k(x)=6g(f(x))=6\left(\frac{1}{3}(x^2-5)+2\right)=2x^2+2\). 4. The general antiderivative is \(K(x)=\frac{2}{3}x^3+2x+C\). 5. Use \(K(3)=20\): \(\frac{2}{3}(3)^3+2(3)+C=20\), so \(24+C=20\) and \(C=-4\). 6. Thus, \(K(x)=\frac{2}{3}x^3+2x-4\).

Answer

a) \(H'(x)=\left(\frac{1}{3}x+2\right)^2-5=f(g(x))\), so \(H\) is an antiderivative of \(h\). b) \(K(x)=\frac{2}{3}x^3+2x-4\)

Find the value of \(a\) that makes \(F\) an antiderivative of \(f\). a) \(f(x)=\frac{1}{3}x^2\); \(F(x)=ax^3\) b) \(f(x)=(a-1)x^{a-2}\); \(F(x)=x^4\) c) \(f(x)=e^{3x}\); \(F(x)=ae^{3x}+10\)

Hints

- Use the condition \(F'(x)=f(x)\). - Pay close attention to the chain rule in part c. - In part b, compare exponents first. - Also verify that the coefficients match.

Solution

1. In each part, require \(F'(x)=f(x)\). 2. For part a, \(F'(x)=3ax^2\). Matching coefficients with \(\frac{1}{3}x^2\) gives \(3a=\frac{1}{3}\), so \(a=\frac{1}{9}\). 3. For part b, \(F'(x)=4x^3\). Matching exponents gives \(a-2=3\), so \(a=5\). Then \(a-1=4\), so the coefficient also matches. 4. For part c, \(F'(x)=3ae^{3x}\). Matching coefficients with \(e^{3x}\) gives \(3a=1\), so \(a=\frac{1}{3}\).

Answer

a) \(a=\frac{1}{9}\) b) \(a=5\) c) \(a=\frac{1}{3}\)

Hints

- Which differentiation rule applies to the product in part a? - Recall the product rule. - Rewrite the fraction in part b using a negative exponent. - Track the negative sign and the derivative of the inner expression.

Solution

1. For part a, use the product rule: \(F'(x)=e^x+(x-1)e^x=xe^x=f(x)\). The statement is true. 2. For part b, write \(F(x)=(x^2+1)^{-1}\). Then \(F'(x)=-(x^2+1)^{-2}(2x)=-\frac{2x}{(x^2+1)^2}\), which is not equal to \(f(x)\). The statement is false.

Answer

a) True, because \(F'(x)=xe^x=f(x)\). b) False, because \(F'(x)=-\frac{2x}{(x^2+1)^2}\ne f(x)\).

The functions \(g_1\) through \(g_4\) and two antiderivatives \(G_A\) and \(G_B\) are given: \(g_1(x)=4x-1\) \(g_2(x)=3x^2-4x\) \(g_3(x)=x^3\) \(g_4(x)=2x^3-\frac{1}{2}x^2\) \(G_A(x)=2x^2-x+4\) \(G_B(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^4-\frac{1}{6}x^3-1\) a) Match \(G_A\) and \(G_B\) with the appropriate functions \(g_i\). Briefly justify each match. b) For each remaining function, find the antiderivative whose graph passes through \((1,2)\).

Hints

- How are derivatives and antiderivatives related? - First write each general antiderivative with a constant \(C\). - Substitute the coordinates of the given point to determine \(C\).

Solution

1. For part a, \(G_A'(x)=4x-1=g_1(x)\), and \(G_B'(x)=2x^3-\frac{1}{2}x^2=g_4(x)\). 2. For \(g_2(x)=3x^2-4x\), the general antiderivative is \(G_2(x)=x^3-2x^2+C\). Using \(G_2(1)=2\) gives \(-1+C=2\), so \(C=3\). Thus, \(G_2(x)=x^3-2x^2+3\). 3. For \(g_3(x)=x^3\), the general antiderivative is \(G_3(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^4+C\). Using \(G_3(1)=2\) gives \(\frac{1}{4}+C=2\), so \(C=\frac{7}{4}\). Thus, \(G_3(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^4+\frac{7}{4}\).

Answer

a) \(G_A\) matches \(g_1\), and \(G_B\) matches \(g_4\). b) \(G_2(x)=x^3-2x^2+3\) \(G_3(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^4+\frac{7}{4}\)

Justify your answer and, if it exists, give the x-coordinate of \(S\). c) Find the antiderivative \(G\) of \(f\) whose graph passes through \((3,8)\).

Hints

- How is the slope of \(F\) related to \(f\)? - When are two tangent lines parallel? - What equation gives all points with the same slope? - Use the given point to determine \(C\).

Solution

1. The slope of \(F\) at \(x=1\) is \(F'(1)=f(1)=1-4+5=2\). 2. Parallel tangent lines have equal slopes, so solve \(f(x)=2\): \(x^2-4x+5=2\). 3. This becomes \(x^2-4x+3=0\), or \((x-1)(x-3)=0\). Besides \(x=1\), the other solution is \(x=3\). 4. For part c, the general antiderivative is \(G(x)=\frac{1}{3}x^3-2x^2+5x+C\). 5. Apply \(G(3)=8\): \(9-18+15+C=8\), so \(6+C=8\) and \(C=2\). 6. Therefore, \(G(x)=\frac{1}{3}x^3-2x^2+5x+2\).

Answer

a) \(2\) b) Yes. The other point has x-coordinate \(x=3\). c) \(G(x)=\frac{1}{3}x^3-2x^2+5x+2\)

For part b, use \(G_2(0)=1\): \(-\frac35+C=1\), so \(C=\frac85\). Therefore, \(G_2(x)=-\frac35\cos(x)-\frac25x+\frac85\).

Answer

a) \(G_1(x)=-\frac35\cos(x)-\frac25x\) b) \(G_2(x)=-\frac35\cos(x)-\frac25x+\frac85\)

Hints

- What derivative relationship defines an antiderivative? - Apply the product rule separately to the two products. - Track the signs of the trigonometric derivatives carefully. - Look for terms that cancel after differentiation.

Solution

1. Differentiate both terms of \(f\) using the product rule. 2. The derivative of \((x^2-2)\cos(x)\) is \(2x\cos(x)-(x^2-2)\sin(x)\). 3. The derivative of \(-2x\sin(x)\) is \(-2\sin(x)-2x\cos(x)\). 4. Combine the results: \(f'(x)=2x\cos(x)-(x^2-2)\sin(x)-2\sin(x)-2x\cos(x)\). 5. The cosine terms cancel, and \(2\sin(x)-2\sin(x)=0\), leaving \(f'(x)=-x^2\sin(x)=g(x)\). 6. Therefore, \(f\) is an antiderivative of \(g\).

Answer

\(f^{\prime}(x)=2x\cos(x)-(x^2-2)\sin(x)-2\sin(x)-2x\cos(x)=-x^2\sin(x)=g(x)\). Therefore, \(f\) is an antiderivative of \(g\).

Determine algebraically whether \(F(x)=(x^2-3x)e^{2x}\) is an antiderivative of \(f(x)=(2x^2-4x-3)e^{2x}\).

Hints

- What derivative relationship defines an antiderivative? - Use the product rule. - Remember the chain-rule factor when differentiating \(e^{2x}\). - Factor out the common exponential term before comparing.

Solution

1. Use the product rule with \(u(x)=x^2-3x\) and \(v(x)=e^{2x}\). 2. Their derivatives are \(u'(x)=2x-3\) and \(v'(x)=2e^{2x}\). 3. Therefore, \(F'(x)=(2x-3)e^{2x}+2(x^2-3x)e^{2x}\). 4. Factor and simplify: \(F'(x)=e^{2x}(2x-3+2x^2-6x)=(2x^2-4x-3)e^{2x}=f(x)\). 5. Hence, \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\).

Hints

- Use the zero-product property in part a. - Recall the quadratic formula. - Differentiate \(F\) to verify the antiderivative relationship. - Antiderivatives differ by a constant; use the initial value to find it.

Solution

For part b, differentiate using the product rule: \(F'(x)=(2x+2)e^x+(x^2+2x)e^x=(x^2+4x+2)e^x=f(x)\). 4. Every antiderivative has the form \(G(x)=F(x)+C\).

Determine whether \(F(x)=x^{-1}(x^2-4)^2\) is an antiderivative of \(f(x)=\frac{3x^4-8x^2+16}{x^2}\).

Hints

- Differentiate \(F\) and compare the result with \(f\). - Expand and simplify \(F\) before differentiating. - Track signs carefully when differentiating negative powers. - Compare the numerators after using a common denominator.

Solution

1. Expand and simplify: \(F(x)=\frac{x^4-8x^2+16}{x}=x^3-8x+16x^{-1}\). 2. Differentiate: \(F'(x)=3x^2-8-16x^{-2}\). 3. With a common denominator, \(F'(x)=\frac{3x^4-8x^2-16}{x^2}\). 4. The constant term in the numerator is \(-16\), not \(+16\). Therefore, \(F'(x)\ne f(x)\), so \(F\) is not an antiderivative of \(f\).

Hints

- Recall the antiderivative of \(x^{-1}\). - Account for the sign of the logarithm's argument when \(x<0\). - Substitute each given function value into the general antiderivative to find \(C\). - Use basic logarithm values when simplifying.

Solution

1. On \(x<0\), the family of antiderivatives is \(F(x)=\frac{2}{3}\ln(-x)-4x+C\). 2. Use \(F_1(-1)=0\): \(\frac{2}{3}\ln(1)+4+C=0\). Since \(\ln(1)=0\), \(C=-4\). Thus, \(F_1(x)=\frac{2}{3}\ln(-x)-4x-4\). 3. Use \(F_2(-e)=1\): \(\frac{2}{3}\ln(e)+4e+C=1\). Therefore, \(\frac{2}{3}+4e+C=1\), so \(C=\frac{1}{3}-4e\). 4. Hence, \(F_2(x)=\frac{2}{3}\ln(-x)-4x+\frac{1}{3}-4e\).

Answer

1. \(F(x)=\frac{2}{3}\ln(-x)-4x+C\) 2. \(F_1(x)=\frac{2}{3}\ln(-x)-4x-4\) 3. \(F_2(x)=\frac{2}{3}\ln(-x)-4x+\frac{1}{3}-4e\)

Apply \(H(1)=0.25\): \(5\ln(1)+\frac{1}{4}+C=0.25\). 4. Since \(\ln(1)=0\) and \(\frac{1}{4}=0.25\), \(C=0\). Therefore, \(H(x)=5\ln(x)+\frac{1}{4}x^2\).

Hints

- Check the derivative separately on each interval of the domain. - Use the chain rule for the logarithm in the region \(x<-4\). - Does a disconnected domain require the same additive constant on both components? - Compare the derivative with \(f\) on each interval.

Solution

1. For \(x>-4\), \(F'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}[\ln(x+4)-2]=\frac{1}{x+4}\). 2. For \(x<-4\), \(F'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}[\ln(-x-4)+5]=\frac{1}{-x-4}(-1)=\frac{1}{x+4}\). 3. Thus, \(F'(x)=f(x)\) on both components of the domain. 4. The different additive constants are allowed because the domain consists of two disconnected intervals. Therefore, \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\).

Answer

Yes. \(F^{\prime}(x)=f(x)\) on both \((-\infty, -4)\) and \((-4, \infty)\).

Hints

- Differentiate \(F\) to verify the antiderivative relationship. - Use the chain rule for a squared logarithm. - How do all antiderivatives of the same function differ? - Use the logarithm value at the given input when solving for \(C\).

Solution

1. Differentiate using the chain rule: \(F'(x)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot2\ln(x)\cdot\frac{1}{x}=\frac{\ln(x)}{x}=f(x)\). 2. Every antiderivative has the form \(G(x)=\frac{1}{2}[\ln(x)]^2+C\). 3. Use \(G(e)=0\): \(\frac{1}{2}[\ln(e)]^2+C=0\). 4. Since \(\ln(e)=1\), \(C=-\frac{1}{2}\). Thus, \(G(x)=\frac{1}{2}[\ln(x)]^2-\frac{1}{2}\).

Every antiderivative has the form \(H(x)=\frac{1}{9}x^3(3\ln(x)-1)+C\). 4. Use \(H(1)=1\): \(-\frac{1}{9}+C=1\), so \(C=\frac{10}{9}\). 5. Therefore, \(H(x)=\frac{1}{9}x^3(3\ln(x)-1)+\frac{10}{9}\).

Hints

- Differentiate an antiderivative to recover the original function. - How do antiderivatives of the same function differ? - What happens when you differentiate their difference?

Solution

1. Since \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\), \(f(x)=F'(x)=2x^3-2x\). 2. Every antiderivative of \(f\) has the form \(G(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^4-x^2+C\). 3. Use \(G(2)=10\): \(8-4+C=10\), so \(C=6\). Thus, \(G(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^4-x^2+6\). 4. If \(F\) and \(G\) are both antiderivatives of \(f\), then \((G-F)'=G'-F'=f-f=0\). A function with derivative \(0\) on an interval is constant, so \(G-F=C\).

Answer

a) \(F(x)=-5\cos(x)+\frac15x^5\) b) \(F(x)=-\frac3x-2\sin(x)\) c) \(F(x)=4\sin(x)+8\sqrt{x}\)

Answer

\(F(x)=-\cos(x)-x^4+3\)

Solution

1. The general antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{8}x^4-x^3+5x+C\). 2. The zero at \(x=2\) means \(F(2)=0\): \(2-8+10+C=0\). 3. Therefore, \(4+C=0\), so \(C=-4\). 4. Thus, \(F(x)=\frac{1}{8}x^4-x^3+5x-4\).

- Rewrite the reciprocal term using a negative exponent. - Apply the power rule for antiderivatives carefully. - Use the condition \(F(2)=0\). - Solve for the remaining constant.

Solution

1. Rewrite \(f(x)=4x^{-3}+\frac{1}{2}\). 2. Integrate: \(F(x)=-2x^{-2}+\frac{1}{2}x+C=-\frac{2}{x^2}+\frac{1}{2}x+C\). 3. Use \(F(2)=0\): \(-\frac{2}{4}+1+C=0\). 4. Thus, \(\frac{1}{2}+C=0\), so \(C=-\frac{1}{2}\). 5. Therefore, \(F(x)=-\frac{2}{x^2}+\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}\).

Answer

\(F(x)=-\frac{2}{x^2}+\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}\)

Hints

- How do antiderivatives of the same function differ? - Differentiate \(F\) to recover \(f\). - Use the point on \(G\) to determine the constant.

Solution

1. Recover \(f\) by differentiating \(F\): \(f(x)=F'(x)=-\frac{1}{x^2}+2x\). 2. Since \(F\) and \(G\) are antiderivatives of the same function, \(G(x)=F(x)+C=\frac{1}{x}+x^2+C\). 3. Use \(G(1)=5\): \(1+1+C=5\), so \(C=3\). 4. Therefore, \(G(x)=\frac{1}{x}+x^2+3\).

Solution

1. The general antiderivative is \(F(x)=\sqrt{x}+e^x+C\). 2. Apply \(F(1)=e+4\): \(1+e+C=e+4\). 3. Therefore, \(C=3\). 4. Thus, \(F(x)=\sqrt{x}+e^x+3\).

Answer

Find one antiderivative \(F\) of each function. a) \(f(x)=4e^{2x}\) b) \(f(x)=e^{5-x}+x^2\) c) \(f(x)=\frac12e^{4x-2}-3\)

Hints

- For \(e^{ax+b}\), divide by the derivative of the exponent. - Integrate sums term by term. - Differentiate each result to check the inner-factor adjustment.

Solution

1. For a), account for the inner derivative \(2\): \(F(x)=2e^{2x}\). 2. For b), the inner derivative of \(5-x\) is \(-1\), so an antiderivative of \(e^{5-x}\) is \(-e^{5-x}\). Therefore, \(F(x)=-e^{5-x}+\frac13x^3\). 3. For c), account for the inner derivative \(4\): \(F(x)=\frac18e^{4x-2}-3x\).

Answer

a) \(F(x)=2e^{2x}\) b) \(F(x)=-e^{5-x}+\frac13x^3\) c) \(F(x)=\frac18e^{4x-2}-3x\)

Hints

- First find the general antiderivative with a constant \(C\). - Account for the inner derivative of \(-x\). - Substitute the coordinates of the given point to determine \(C\).

Solution

1. Accounting for the inner derivative \(-1\), the general antiderivative is \(F(x)=-3e^{-x}+2x+C\). 2. Use \(F(0)=1\): \(-3e^0+C=1\). 3. Since \(e^0=1\), \(-3+C=1\), so \(C=4\). 4. Therefore, \(F(x)=-3e^{-x}+2x+4\).

Answer

52996012
Let \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x}\) on the domain \(x<0\). a) Give three different antiderivatives of \(f\). b) Explain without further calculation why all antiderivatives of \(f\) have the same slope at \(x=-2\). State that slope.

Hints

- Which logarithmic function differentiates to \(\frac{1}{x}\) when \(x<0\)? - Different antiderivatives differ only by constants. - How is the slope of an antiderivative related to \(f\)? - Evaluate \(f\) at the stated input.

Solution

1. On \(x<0\), the family of antiderivatives is \(F(x)=\ln(-x)+C\). 2. Three examples are \(F_1(x)=\ln(-x)\), \(F_2(x)=\ln(-x)+2\), and \(F_3(x)=\ln(-x)-1\). 3. Every antiderivative satisfies \(F'(x)=f(x)\), so the slope at \(x=-2\) is always \(f(-2)\). 4. Since \(f(-2)=-\frac{1}{2}\), all the antiderivatives have slope \(-\frac{1}{2}\) there.

Answer

a) \(F_1(x)=\ln(-x)\), \(F_2(x)=\ln(-x)+2\), and \(F_3(x)=\ln(-x)-1\) b) All have slope \(f(-2)=-\frac{1}{2}\).

The graph of the derivative \(f'\) of a function \(f\) is shown. The graph of \(f\) passes through \((2,1)\). Find an equation for \(f\).
Figure for problem 532414

Hints

- Read the slope and y-intercept of the line from the graph. - Integrate the derivative and include a constant \(C\). - Use the given point to determine \(C\).

Solution

1. The graph of \(f'\) is a line with y-intercept \(2\) and zero at \(x=4\). Its slope is \(\frac{0-2}{4-0}=-\frac{1}{2}\), so \(f'(x)=-\frac{1}{2}x+2\). 2. Integrate to obtain \(f(x)=-\frac{1}{4}x^2+2x+C\). 3. Use \(f(2)=1\): \(-1+4+C=1\), so \(C=-2\). 4. Therefore, \(f(x)=-\frac{1}{4}x^2+2x-2\).

Answer

\(f(x)=-\frac{1}{4}x^2+2x-2\)

The figures show three graphs: a function \(f\), its derivative \(f'\), and an antiderivative \(F\) of \(f\). Match graphs A, B, and C with \(f\), \(f'\), and \(F\). Justify your choices.
Figure for problem 532644

Hints

- Match local extrema of a graph with zeros of its derivative. - Compare increasing and decreasing intervals with the sign of the derivative. - Use the polynomial degrees to check the order \(F\), \(f\), and \(f'\).

Solution

1. Graph B has a local maximum at \(x = 2\) and a local minimum at \(x = 6\). Graph C is zero at those values, is negative on \((2, 6)\), and is positive outside that interval. Therefore, graph C is the derivative of graph B. 2. Graph C has a local minimum at \(x = 4\). Graph A is zero at \(x = 4\), is negative for \(x < 4\), and is positive for \(x > 4\). Therefore, graph A is the derivative of graph C. 3. Since \(F' = f\) and \(f'\) is the derivative of \(f\), graph B represents \(F\), graph C represents \(f\), and graph A represents \(f'\).

Answer

A \(\rightarrow f'\) B \(\rightarrow F\) C \(\rightarrow f\)
53267212
The graph shown is \(f(x)=x\ln(x)\) with domain \(x>0\). a) Find the coordinates of the local minimum of the graph. b) Find the equation of the tangent line to the graph that passes through \(P(0, -1)\). c) Show that \(F(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2\ln(x)-\frac{1}{4}x^2\) is an antiderivative of \(f\).
Figure for problem 532672

Hints

- Use the product rule to differentiate \(x\ln(x)\). - Use the first and second derivatives to classify the critical point. - Write the tangent line at a general value \(u\), then substitute \(P\). - To verify an antiderivative, differentiate it and compare the result with \(f\).

Solution

1. Differentiate using the product rule: \(f'(x)=\ln(x)+1\). Setting \(f'(x)=0\) gives \(\ln(x)=-1\), so \(x=\frac{1}{e}\). Since \(f''(x)=\frac{1}{x}>0\) for \(x>0\), this point is a local minimum. Its y-coordinate is \(f\left(\frac{1}{e}\right)=-\frac{1}{e}\). 2. Let the point of tangency have x-coordinate \(u>0\). The tangent line is \(y=(\ln(u)+1)(x-u)+u\ln(u)=(\ln(u)+1)x-u\). Because it passes through \(P(0,-1)\), \(-1=-u\), so \(u=1\). Therefore, the tangent line is \(y=x-1\). 3. Differentiate \(F\): \(F'(x)=x\ln(x)+\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}x=x\ln(x)=f(x)\). Therefore, \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\).

Answer

a) \(\left(\frac{1}{e}, -\frac{1}{e}\right)\) b) \(y=x-1\) c) \(F'(x)=x\ln(x)=f(x)\), so \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\).

The graph of the derivative \(f^{\prime}\) is a downward-opening parabola. The graph of \(f\) passes through \(P(3,2)\). Find an equation for \(f\).
Figure for problem 533913

Hints

- Use the intercepts and vertex of the parabola to determine \(f^{\prime}\). - Integrate \(f^{\prime}\) and include a constant of integration. - Use the point on \(f\) to determine the constant.

Solution

1. The derivative has zeros at \(x=-2\) and \(x=2\) and a y-intercept of \(4\). Therefore, \(f^{\prime}(x)=-(x-2)(x+2)=4-x^2\). 2. Integrating gives \(f(x)=4x-\frac13x^3+C\). 3. Use \(f(3)=2\): \(2=12-9+C\), so \(C=-1\). 4. Thus, \(f(x)=-\frac13x^3+4x-1\).

Answer

\(f(x)=-\frac13x^3+4x-1\)
53443712
The graph of \(f(x)=\frac{2}{x+1}\) is shown for \(x>-1\). Find the antiderivative \(F\) that satisfies \(F(0)=0\), and describe its graph and concavity.
Figure for problem 534437

Hints

- The sign of \(f\) determines whether \(F\) increases or decreases. - The increasing or decreasing behavior of \(f\) determines the concavity of \(F\). - Use the initial condition to determine the constant of integration.

Solution

1. Since \(f(x)=\frac{2}{x+1}>0\) for \(x>-1\), every antiderivative is strictly increasing on that interval. 2. Integrating gives \(F(x)=2\ln(x+1)+C\). The condition \(F(0)=0\) gives \(C=0\), so \(F(x)=2\ln(x+1)\). 3. Because \(f\) is decreasing, the slope of \(F\) decreases, so \(F\) is concave down on \((-1,\infty)\). 4. As \(x\to-1^+\), \(F(x)\to-\infty\). As \(x\to\infty\), \(F\) continues to increase but becomes progressively flatter because \(f(x)\to0\).

Answer

\(F(x)=2\ln(x+1)\). Its graph passes through \((0,0)\), is strictly increasing and concave down on \((-1,\infty)\), approaches \(-\infty\) as \(x\to-1^+\), and becomes flatter as \(x\to\infty\).

The graph of \(f(x)=\sqrt{x}\) for \(x\ge0\) is shown. Find the antiderivative \(F\) that satisfies \(F(0)=-1\), and describe its graph.
Figure for problem 534438

Hints

- Integrate \(x^{1/2}\) using the power rule. - Use \(F(0)=-1\) to determine the constant. - Use the sign and monotonicity of \(f\) to describe the shape of \(F\).

Solution

1. Integrating gives \(F(x)=\frac23x^{3/2}+C\). 2. The condition \(F(0)=-1\) gives \(C=-1\), so \(F(x)=\frac23x^{3/2}-1\). 3. Since \(f(x)>0\) for \(x>0\), \(F\) is strictly increasing there. Since \(f\) is increasing, the slope of \(F\) increases, so \(F\) is concave up. 4. The graph begins at \((0,-1)\) with a horizontal tangent. Useful points include \((1,-\frac13)\) and \((4,\frac{13}{3})\).

Answer

\(F(x)=\frac23x^{3/2}-1\). The graph starts at \((0,-1)\) with a horizontal tangent and is increasing and concave up for \(x>0\).

Find the antiderivative \(F\) of \(f(x)=x^3-4x\) whose local minimum value is \(5\).

Hints

- How are \(f\) and an antiderivative \(F\) related? - Where can \(F\) have local extrema? - How can the derivative of \(f\) distinguish minima from maxima of \(F\)? - How does the stated minimum value determine \(C\)?

Solution

1. The general antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^4-2x^2+C\). 2. Critical points of \(F\) occur where \(F'(x)=f(x)=0\): \(x(x^2-4)=0\), so \(x=-2,0,2\). 3. Since \(F''(x)=f'(x)=3x^2-4\), the points at \(x=\pm2\) are local minima and the point at \(x=0\) is a local maximum. 4. Use the required minimum value: \(F(2)=5\). Then \(\frac{1}{4}(2)^4-2(2)^2+C=5\), so \(4-8+C=5\) and \(C=9\). 5. Therefore, \(F(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^4-2x^2+9\).

Answer

\(F(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^4-2x^2+9\)
52477612
Let \(f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{2}{x}\) for \(x>0\). Find the antiderivative \(F\) of \(f\) whose local minimum value is \(5-\ln(4)\).

Hints

- Which function has derivative \(\frac{1}{x}\)? - Set \(F'(x)=f(x)\) equal to zero to find critical points of \(F\). - Use logarithm properties when simplifying the condition. - The constant \(C\) shifts the graph vertically.

Solution

1. For \(x>0\), the general antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^2-2\ln(x)+C\). 2. Critical points of \(F\) satisfy \(F'(x)=f(x)=0\): \(\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{2}{x}=0\), so \(x^2=4\). Because \(x>0\), \(x=2\). 3. Since \(F''(x)=f'(x)=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{x^2}>0\), \(F\) has a local minimum at \(x=2\). 4. Apply the minimum value: \(F(2)=5-\ln(4)\). This gives \(1-2\ln(2)+C=5-\ln(4)\). 5. Because \(2\ln(2)=\ln(4)\), \(C=4\). Thus, \(F(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^2-2\ln(x)+4\).

Answer

\(F(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^2-2\ln(x)+4\)
52570012
Let \(f(x)=\frac{\cos(x)}{2\sqrt{x}}-\sqrt{x}\sin(x)\) for \(x>0\). Give one antiderivative \(F\) of \(f\).

Hints

- Which parts of the two terms are derivatives of each other? - Recall the relationship between \(\sqrt{x}\) and \(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\). - How does the negative sign relate to the derivative of cosine? - Try differentiating a product involving \(\sqrt{x}\) and \(\cos(x)\).

Solution

1. Look for a product whose derivative has the two given terms. 2. Let \(u(x)=\sqrt{x}\) and \(v(x)=\cos(x)\). Then \(u'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\) and \(v'(x)=-\sin(x)\). 3. By the product rule, \(\frac{d}{dx}[\sqrt{x}\cos(x)]=\frac{\cos(x)}{2\sqrt{x}}-\sqrt{x}\sin(x)=f(x)\). 4. Thus, one antiderivative is \(F(x)=\sqrt{x}\cos(x)\).

Answer

\(F(x)=\sqrt{x}\cos(x)\)
52738312
Let \(F(x)=0.5x+4+\frac{2}{x}\) and \(f(x)=\frac{x^2-4}{2x^2}\), where \(x\neq0\). a) Show that \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\). b) Find and classify the local extrema of \(F\). c) Show that neither the graph of \(F\) nor the graph of \(f\) has an inflection point. d) Analyze the monotonicity of \(f\), \(f'\), and \(f''\) on \((-\infty,0)\). What do they have in common?

Hints

- Differentiate \(F\) and compare the result with \(f\). - The derivative of \(F\) determines the extrema of \(F\). - Use the second derivative of each function to analyze inflection points. - On negative inputs, pay attention to the signs of odd powers.

Solution

1. Differentiate \(F\): \(F'(x)=0.5-\frac{2}{x^2}=\frac{x^2-4}{2x^2}=f(x)\). Therefore, \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\). 2. Local extrema of \(F\) occur where \(F'(x)=f(x)=0\). Thus \(x^2-4=0\), so \(x=-2\) and \(x=2\). Since \(F''(x)=f'(x)=\frac{4}{x^3}\), \(F''(-2)=-\frac{1}{2}<0\) and \(F''(2)=\frac{1}{2}>0\). Therefore, \((-2,2)\) is a local maximum and \((2,6)\) is a local minimum. 3. For \(F\), \(F''(x)=\frac{4}{x^3}\) is negative on \((-\infty,0)\) and positive on \((0,\infty)\). Although the concavity differs on the two domain intervals, \(x=0\) is not in the domain, so \(F\) has no inflection point. For \(f\), \(f''(x)=-\frac{12}{x^4}<0\) everywhere on its domain, so its graph is concave down on both domain intervals and has no inflection point. 4. On \((-\infty,0)\), \(f'(x)=\frac{4}{x^3}<0\), so \(f\) is strictly decreasing. Also, \(f''(x)=-\frac{12}{x^4}<0\), so \(f'\) is strictly decreasing. Finally, \(f'''(x)=\frac{48}{x^5}<0\), so \(f''\) is strictly decreasing. All three functions are strictly decreasing on that interval.

Answer

a) \(F'(x)=f(x)\), so \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\). b) Local maximum: \((-2,2)\). Local minimum: \((2,6)\). c) Neither graph has an inflection point. d) \(f\), \(f'\), and \(f''\) are all strictly decreasing on \((-\infty,0)\).

Let \(g(x)=\frac{2x^2-1}{x}\) and \(h(x)=2+\frac{1}{x^2}\), where \(x\neq0\). a) Find \(g'(x)\), and use it to show that \(g\) is an antiderivative of \(h\). b) Find equations of all asymptotes of the graph of \(g\). c) Determine the intervals on which the graphs of \(g\) and \(h\) are concave up and concave down. d) Explain why \(g\), \(h\), and \(h'\) have the same monotonic behavior on \((-\infty,0)\).

Hints

- Rewrite the rational expression before differentiating. - Separate the linear part from the term that approaches zero to find the slant asymptote. - Use the sign of each second derivative to determine concavity. - Use the sign of each first derivative to determine monotonicity.

Solution

1. Rewrite \(g(x)=2x-\frac{1}{x}\). Then \(g'(x)=2+\frac{1}{x^2}=h(x)\), so \(g\) is an antiderivative of \(h\). 2. The function is undefined at \(x=0\), and its values become unbounded there, so \(x=0\) is a vertical asymptote. Since \(g(x)=2x-\frac{1}{x}\) and \(-\frac{1}{x}\to0\) as \(|x|\to\infty\), the slant asymptote is \(y=2x\). 3. For \(g\), \(g''(x)=h'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^3}\). This is positive when \(x<0\) and negative when \(x>0\), so \(g\) is concave up on \((-\infty,0)\) and concave down on \((0,\infty)\). For \(h\), \(h''(x)=\frac{6}{x^4}>0\), so \(h\) is concave up on both \((-\infty,0)\) and \((0,\infty)\). 4. On \((-\infty,0)\), \(g'(x)=2+\frac{1}{x^2}>0\), so \(g\) is strictly increasing. Also, \(h'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^3}>0\), so \(h\) is strictly increasing. Finally, \(h''(x)=\frac{6}{x^4}>0\), so \(h'\) is strictly increasing. All three are strictly increasing on that interval.

Answer

a) \(g'(x)=2+\frac{1}{x^2}=h(x)\), so \(g\) is an antiderivative of \(h\). b) Vertical asymptote: \(x=0\). Slant asymptote: \(y=2x\). c) \(g\) is concave up on \((-\infty,0)\) and concave down on \((0,\infty)\). The graph of \(h\) is concave up on \((-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)\). d) \(g\), \(h\), and \(h'\) are all strictly increasing on \((-\infty,0)\).
52766212
Let \(g(x)=2-\ln(5-x)\), with its maximal domain. a) Find the domain and describe the end behavior of \(g\) at both ends of the domain. b) Find the \(x\)- and \(y\)-intercepts of the graph of \(g\). c) Describe how to obtain the graph of \(g\) from the graph of \(y=\ln(x)\). Use the transformations to explain why \(g\) is strictly increasing on its domain. d) Verify that \(G(x)=3x+(5-x)\ln(5-x)\) is an antiderivative of \(g\). Then find the antiderivative of \(g\) whose graph passes through \((4,0)\).

Hints

- Set the logarithm input greater than \(0\) to find the domain. - Use \(x=0\) for the \(y\)-intercept and set \(g(x)=0\) for the \(x\)-intercept. - Apply the graph transformations one at a time. - Use the product rule and chain rule to differentiate \(G\). - Add a constant and use the point \((4, 0)\).

Solution

1. The logarithm requires \(5-x>0\), so the domain is \((-\infty, 5)\). As \(x\to5^-\), \(\ln(5-x)\to-\infty\), so \(g(x)\to\infty\). As \(x\to-\infty\), \(\ln(5-x)\to\infty\), so \(g(x)\to-\infty\). 2. For the \(y\)-intercept, \(g(0)=2-\ln(5)\), giving \((0, 2-\ln(5))\). For the \(x\)-intercept, solve \(2-\ln(5-x)=0\). Then \(5-x=e^2\), so the intercept is \((5-e^2, 0)\). 3. Starting with \(y=\ln(x)\), reflect across the \(y\)-axis, shift right \(5\) units, reflect across the \(x\)-axis, and shift up \(2\) units. The first reflection changes an increasing graph to a decreasing graph, and the second reflection changes it back to an increasing graph. Translations do not change monotonicity, so \(g\) is strictly increasing. 4. Differentiate: \(G'(x)=3-\ln(5-x)-1=2-\ln(5-x)=g(x)\). Thus, the general antiderivative is \(G(x)+C\). 5. Requiring the graph to pass through \((4, 0)\) gives \(0=3(4)+(5-4)\ln(1)+C=12+C\), so \(C=-12\). The required antiderivative is \(3x+(5-x)\ln(5-x)-12\).

Answer

a) Domain: \((-\infty, 5)\); \(\lim_{x\to5^-}g(x)=\infty\); \(\lim_{x\to-\infty}g(x)=-\infty\) b) \(x\)-intercept: \((5-e^2, 0)\); \(y\)-intercept: \((0, 2-\ln(5))\) c) Reflect across the \(y\)-axis, shift right \(5\), reflect across the \(x\)-axis, and shift up \(2\). The resulting function is strictly increasing. d) \(3x+(5-x)\ln(5-x)-12\)

The graph of a cubic polynomial \(f\) is shown. a) The function has the form \(f(x)=a(x-x_1)^2(x-x_2)\). Use the graph to determine \(a\), \(x_1\), and \(x_2\). b) Find the antiderivative \(F\) whose graph passes through \(A(2,0)\). c) Classify the special point on the graph of \(F\) at \(x=2\). Which feature of \(f\) supports your classification?
Figure for problem 534428

Hints

- Distinguish between a zero where the graph crosses the x-axis and a zero where it only touches. - Use the y-intercept to determine \(a\). - Integrate term by term and use the given point to find the constant. - A zero of \(f\) without a sign change gives \(F\) a horizontal tangent but not an extremum.

Solution

1. The graph touches the x-axis at \(x=2\), so \(x_1=2\) is a double zero. It crosses at \(x=-1\), so \(x_2=-1\). Since \(f(0)=-2\), \(-2=a(0-2)^2(0+1)=4a\), giving \(a=-\frac12\). Thus, \(f(x)=-\frac12(x-2)^2(x+1)=-\frac12x^3+\frac32x^2-2\). 2. Integrating gives \(F(x)=-\frac18x^4+\frac12x^3-2x+C\). The condition \(F(2)=0\) gives \(-2+4-4+C=0\), so \(C=2\). Therefore, \(F(x)=-\frac18x^4+\frac12x^3-2x+2\). 3. Since \(f(2)=F^{\prime}(2)=0\), the graph of \(F\) has a horizontal tangent at \(x=2\). The function \(f\) does not change sign there, so \(F\) does not have a local extremum. Because \(f\) has a local maximum at \(x=2\), \(F\) changes concavity there. Thus, \(F\) has a stationary inflection point at \(x=2\).

Answer

a) \(a=-\frac12\), \(x_1=2\), \(x_2=-1\); \(f(x)=-\frac12x^3+\frac32x^2-2\) b) \(F(x)=-\frac18x^4+\frac12x^3-2x+2\) c) A stationary inflection point at \(x=2\)

Let \(F(x)=\frac{x^2-4}{x^2+2}\), and suppose \(F\) is an antiderivative of a function \(f\). a) The four panels show possible graphs of \(F\). Identify the correct graph by analyzing intercepts and end behavior. b) Determine how many local extrema \(f\) has by using the inflection points of \(F\). c) Find the zeros of \(f\) using only the behavior of the graph of \(F\). d) State the horizontal asymptote of \(f\), and describe where the graph of \(f\) lies above and below the x-axis.
Figure for problem 534523

Hints

- Calculate the y-intercept, zeros, and horizontal asymptote of \(F\). - Inflection points of \(F\) correspond to extrema of \(F^{\prime}=f\). - A zero of \(f\) occurs where \(F\) has a horizontal tangent. - Use the increasing and decreasing behavior of \(F\) to determine the sign of \(f\).

Solution

1. The function satisfies \(F(0)=-2\), has zeros at \(x=\pm2\), and approaches \(1\) as \(x\to\pm\infty\). Only Graph 1 has all three features. 2. Since \(f=F^{\prime}\), local extrema of \(f\) occur where \(F^{\prime\prime}=0\), which are inflection points of \(F\). Graph 1 has two inflection points, so \(f\) has two local extrema. 3. Zeros of \(f\) occur where \(F\) has horizontal tangents. Graph 1 has one such point, at \(x=0\). Therefore, \(f\) has the single zero \(x=0\). 4. Differentiation gives \(f(x)=F^{\prime}(x)=\frac{12x}{(x^2+2)^2}\). As \(x\to\pm\infty\), \(f(x)\to0\), so the horizontal asymptote is \(y=0\). 5. The denominator is always positive, so \(f(x)<0\) for \(x<0\) and \(f(x)>0\) for \(x>0\).

Answer

a) Graph 1 b) \(f\) has two local extrema. c) \(x=0\) d) The horizontal asymptote is \(y=0\). The graph is below the x-axis for \(x<0\) and above it for \(x>0\).
