## Chapter opener: iceboats

As we saw at the beginning of the chapter, top iceboat racers ( [link] ) can attain speeds of up to five times the wind speed. Andrew is an intermediate iceboater, though, so he attains speeds equal to only twice the wind speed. Suppose Andrew takes his iceboat out one morning when a light 5-mph breeze has been blowing all morning. As Andrew gets his iceboat set up, though, the wind begins to pick up. During his first half hour of iceboating, the wind speed increases according to the function $v\left(t\right)=20t+5.$ For the second half hour of Andrew’s outing, the wind remains steady at 15 mph. In other words, the wind speed is given by

$v\left(t\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{lll}20t+5\hfill & \text{for}\hfill & 0\le t\le \frac{1}{2}\hfill \\ 15\hfill & \text{for}\hfill & \frac{1}{2}\le t\le 1.\hfill \end{array}$

Recalling that Andrew’s iceboat travels at twice the wind speed, and assuming he moves in a straight line away from his starting point, how far is Andrew from his starting point after 1 hour?

To figure out how far Andrew has traveled, we need to integrate his velocity, which is twice the wind speed. Then

Distance $={\int }_{0}^{1}2v\left(t\right)dt.$

Substituting the expressions we were given for $v\left(t\right),$ we get

$\begin{array}{cc}{\int }_{0}^{1}2v\left(t\right)dt\hfill & ={\int }_{0}^{1\text{/}2}2v\left(t\right)dt+{\int }_{1\text{/}2}^{1}2v\left(t\right)dt\hfill \\ & ={\int }_{0}^{1\text{/}2}2\left(20t+5\right)dt+{\int }_{1\text{/}3}^{1}2\left(15\right)dt\hfill \\ & ={\int }_{0}^{1\text{/}2}\left(40t+10\right)dt+{\int }_{1\text{/}2}^{1}30dt\hfill \\ & =\left[20{t}^{2}+10t\right]{|}_{0}^{1\text{/}2}+\left[30t\right]{|}_{1\text{/}2}^{1}\hfill \\ & =\left(\frac{20}{4}+5\right)-0+\left(30-15\right)\hfill \\ & =25.\hfill \end{array}$

Andrew is 25 mi from his starting point after 1 hour.

Suppose that, instead of remaining steady during the second half hour of Andrew’s outing, the wind starts to die down according to the function $v\left(t\right)=-10t+15.$ In other words, the wind speed is given by

$v\left(t\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{lll}20t+5\hfill & \text{for}\hfill & 0\le t\le \frac{1}{2}\hfill \\ -10t+15\hfill & \text{for}\hfill & \frac{1}{2}\le t\le 1.\hfill \end{array}$

Under these conditions, how far from his starting point is Andrew after 1 hour?

17.5 mi

## Integrating even and odd functions

We saw in Functions and Graphs that an even function    is a function in which $f\left(\text{−}x\right)=f\left(x\right)$ for all x in the domain—that is, the graph of the curve is unchanged when x is replaced with − x . The graphs of even functions are symmetric about the y -axis. An odd function    is one in which $f\left(\text{−}x\right)=\text{−}f\left(x\right)$ for all x in the domain, and the graph of the function is symmetric about the origin.

Integrals of even functions, when the limits of integration are from − a to a , involve two equal areas, because they are symmetric about the y -axis. Integrals of odd functions, when the limits of integration are similarly $\left[\text{−}a,a\right],$ evaluate to zero because the areas above and below the x -axis are equal.

## Rule: integrals of even and odd functions

For continuous even functions such that $f\left(\text{−}x\right)=f\left(x\right),$

${\int }_{\text{−}a}^{a}f\left(x\right)dx=2{\int }_{0}^{a}f\left(x\right)dx.$

For continuous odd functions such that $f\left(\text{−}x\right)=\text{−}f\left(x\right),$

${\int }_{\text{−}a}^{a}f\left(x\right)dx=0.$

## Integrating an even function

Integrate the even function ${\int }_{-2}^{2}\left(3{x}^{8}-2\right)dx$ and verify that the integration formula for even functions holds.

The symmetry appears in the graphs in [link] . Graph (a) shows the region below the curve and above the x -axis. We have to zoom in to this graph by a huge amount to see the region. Graph (b) shows the region above the curve and below the x -axis. The signed area of this region is negative. Both views illustrate the symmetry about the y -axis of an even function. We have

$\begin{array}{ll}{\int }_{-2}^{2}\left(3{x}^{8}-2\right)dx\hfill & =\left(\frac{{x}^{9}}{3}-2x\right){|}_{-2}^{2}\hfill \\ \\ \\ & =\left[\frac{{\left(2\right)}^{9}}{3}-2\left(2\right)\right]-\left[\frac{{\left(-2\right)}^{9}}{3}-2\left(-2\right)\right]\hfill \\ & =\left(\frac{512}{3}-4\right)-\left(-\frac{512}{3}+4\right)\hfill \\ & =\frac{1000}{3}.\hfill \end{array}$

To verify the integration formula for even functions, we can calculate the integral from 0 to 2 and double it, then check to make sure we get the same answer.

$\begin{array}{ll}{\int }_{0}^{2}\left(3{x}^{8}-2\right)dx\hfill & =\left(\frac{{x}^{9}}{3}-2x\right){|}_{0}^{2}\hfill \\ \\ & =\frac{512}{3}-4\hfill \\ & =\frac{500}{3}\hfill \end{array}$

Since $2·\frac{500}{3}=\frac{1000}{3},$ we have verified the formula for even functions in this particular example.

what is f(x)
the function at x
Marc
also known as the y value so I could say y=2x or f(x)= 2x same thing just using functional notation your next question is what is dependent and independent variables. I am Dyslexic but know math and which is which confuses me. but one can vary the x value while y depends on which x you use. also
Marc
up domain and range
Marc
enjoy your work and good luck
Marc
I actually wanted to ask another questions on sets if u dont mind please?
Inembo
I have so many questions on set and I really love dis app I never believed u would reply
Inembo
Hmm go ahead and ask you got me curious too much conversation here
am sorry for disturbing I really want to know math that's why *I want to know the meaning of those symbols in sets* e.g n,U,A', etc pls I want to know it and how to solve its problems
Inembo
and how can i solve a question like dis *in a group of 40 students, 32 offer maths and 24 offer physics and 4 offer neither maths nor physics , how many offer both maths and physics*
Inembo
next questions what do dy mean by (A' n B^c)^c'
Inembo
The sets help you to define the function. The function is like a magic box where you put inside stuff(numbers or sets) and you get out the stuff but in different shapes (forms).
I dont understand what you wanna say by (A' n B^c)^c'
(A' n B (rise to the power of c)) all rise to the power of c
Inembo
Aaaahh
Ok so the set is formed by vectors and not numbers
A vector of length n
But you can make a set out of matrixes as well
I I don't even understand sets I wat to know d meaning of all d symbolsnon sets
Inembo
High-school?
yes
Inembo
am having big problem understanding sets more than other math topics
Inembo
So f:R->R means that the function takes real numbers and provides real numer. For ex. If f(x) =2x this means if you give to your function a real number like 2,it gives you also a real number 2times2=4
pls answer this question *in a group of 40 students, 32 offer maths and 24 offer physics and 4 offer neither maths nor physics , how many offer both maths and physics*
Inembo
If you have f:R^n->R^n you give to your function a vector of length n like (a1,a2,...an) where all a1,.. an are reals and gives you also a vector of length n... I don't know if i answering your question. Otherwise on YouTube you havr many videos where they explain it in a simple way
I would say 24
Offer both
Sorry 20
Actually you have 40 - 4 =36 who offer maths or physics or both.
I know its 20 but how to prove it
Inembo
You have 32+24=56who offer courses
56-36=20 who give both courses... I would say that
solution: In a question involving sets and Venn diagram, the sum of the members of set A + set B - the joint members of both set A and B + the members that are not in sets A or B = the total members of the set. In symbolic form n(A U B) = n(A) + n (B) - n (A and B) + n (A U B)'.
Mckenzie
In the case of sets A and B use the letters m and p to represent the sets and we have: n (M U P) = 40; n (M) = 24; n (P) = 32; n (M and P) = unknown; n (M U P)' = 4
Mckenzie
Now substitute the numerical values for the symbolic representation 40 = 24 + 32 - n(M and P) + 4 Now solve for the unknown using algebra: 40 = 24 + 32+ 4 - n(M and P) 40 = 60 - n(M and P) Add n(M and P), as well, subtract 40 from both sides of the equation to find the answer.
Mckenzie
40 - 40 + n(M and P) = 60 - 40 - n(M and P) + n(M and P) Solution: n(M and P) = 20
Mckenzie
thanks
Inembo
Simpler form: Add the sums of set M, set P and the complement of the union of sets M and P then subtract the number of students from the total.
Mckenzie
n(M and P) = (32 + 24 + 4) - 40 = 60 - 40 = 20
Mckenzie
how do i evaluate integral of x^1/2 In x
first you simplify the given expression, which gives (x^2/2). Then you now integrate the above simplified expression which finally gives( lnx^2).
by using integration product formula

find derivative f(x)=1/x
-1/x^2, use the chain rule
Andrew
f(x)=x^3-2x
Mul
what is domin in this question
noman
all real numbers . except zero
Roha
please try to guide me how?
Meher
what do u want to ask
Roha
?
Roha
the domain of the function is all real number excluding zero, because the rational function 1/x is a representation of a fractional equation (precisely inverse function). As in elementary mathematics the concept of dividing by zero is nonexistence, so zero will not make the fractional statement
Mckenzie
a function's answer/range should not be in the form of 1/0 and there should be no imaginary no. say square root of any negative no. (-1)^1/2
Roha
domain means everywhere along the x axis. since this function is not discontinuous anywhere along the x axis, then the domain is said to be all values of x.
Andrew
Derivative of a function
Waqar
right andrew ... this function is only discontinuous at 0
Roha
of sorry, I didn't realize he was taking about the function 1/x ...I thought he was referring to the function x^3-2x.
Andrew
yep...it's 1/x...!!!
Roha
true and cannot be apart of the domain that makes up the relation of the graph y = 1/x. The value of the denominator of the rational function can never be zero, because the result of the output value (range value of the graph when x =0) is undefined.
Mckenzie
👍
Roha
Therefore, when x = 0 the image of the rational function does not exist at this domain value, but exist at all other x values (domain) that makes the equation functional, and the graph drawable.
Mckenzie
👍

how to prove sin x - sin x cos^2 x=sin^3x?
sin x - sin x cos^2 x sin x (1-cos^2 x) note the identity:sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 thus, sin^2 x = 1 - cos^2 x now substitute this into the above: sin x (sin^2 x), now multiply, yielding: sin^3 x Q.E.D.
Andrew
take sin x common. you are left with 1-cos^2x which is sin^2x. multiply back sinx and you get sin^3x.
navin
Left side=sinx-sinx cos^2x =sinx-sinx(1+sin^2x) =sinx-sinx+sin^3x =sin^3x thats proved.
