This test has 5 problems and is worth 50 points, plus one bonus problem at the end. It is
your responsibility to make sure that you have all of the pages!
Since time is limited, it is crucial that you think before you compute.
Good luck!
1. Let R be the region given below. [Drawn on board: R is the region bounded by the
graphs of y = sin x (where 0 x ) and y =
1
2
.]
a) Set up, but do not evaluate, an integral to nd the volume obtained by rotating R about the
x-axis.
Solution: First, note that the x-coordinates of the intersections of the graphs of y = sin x and
y =
1
2
are x =

6
and x =
5
6
. We will use the cross-section method. So taking cross-sections
perpendicular to the x-axis for x between

6
and
5
6
gives a washer with inner radius
1
2
and outer
radius sin x. Therefore,
A(x) = sin

x
_

So,

A(x) dx =

dx.
b) Set up, but do not evaluate, an integral to nd the volume obtained by rotating R about the
line x = .
Solution: We will use the method of cylindrical shells. A typical shell is given by a value of x
between

6
and
5
6
. This shell has radius x and height sin x
1
2
. Thus,
V =

(circumference) (height) dx =

2. Evaluate the integral.
_
e
2x
cos x dx
Solution: We will use integration by parts. Let
u = e
2x
, dv = cos x dx
du = 2e
2x
dx, v = sin x.
Then _
e
2x
cos x dx = uv
_
v du = e
2x
sin x 2
_
e
2x
sin x dx.
We will use integration by parts again on
_
e
2x
sin x dx. Taking
u
1
= e
2x
, dv
1
= sin x dx
du
1
= 2e
2x
dx, v

= cos x
gives us
e

sin x 2
_
e
2x
sin x dx = e
2x
sin x 2
_
e

cos x + 2
_
e
2x
cos x dx
_
= e
2x
sin x + 2e
2x
cos x 4
_
e
2x
cos x dx.
So we now have that
_
e
2x
cos x dx = e
2x
sin x + 2e
2x
cos x 4
_
e
2x
cos x dx.
Solving this equation for the integral yields
_
e
2x
cos x dx =
e

sin x + 2e

(1 + tan

Substitute u = tan x. Then du = sec

x dx. So
_
(1 + tan

x dx =
_
(1 + u

b) Evaluate the integral. Hint: Make a substitution rst.

Solution: First, substitute u = sin . Then du = cos d. Then
_

(sin ) cos d =
_
cos

u du
=
_
(1 sin

u) cos u du.
Substituting v = sin u (then dv = cos u du) gives us

(1 sin

4. Evaluate the integral.

25 x

Solution: We will use trigonometric substitution. Let x = 5 sin ,

2
. Then dx =
5 cos , and
_
25 x
2
=
_
25 25 sin
2
x =

25 cos
2
= 5| cos | = 5 cos .
Thus,

cot + C.
We have that x = 5 sin , so draw a triangle with sin =
x
5
=
opp
hyp
. By the Pythagorean
theorem, we have that adj =

25 x
2
, so that cot =
adj
opp
=

25 x

x
. Thus,

cot =

25 x

25x
+ C.
5. Find c such that the area bounded between the curves y = x
2
c
2
and y = c
2
x
2
is 72.
Solution: The intersection points of the graphs are (0, c). As a slight shortcut, notice (by
symmetry) that a fourth of the area of the given region is
_
c
0
(c
2
x
2
) dx. Thus, the total area
of the region is
A = 4
_
c

(c

We need A = 72, so solving the equation

= 72 yields c = 3.
(Bonus problem- 5 points!) Suppose f is a function with f(0) = 7, f(2) = 5, f

(2) = 4, and f

is continuous. Find the exact value of

xf

(x) dx.
Solution: (Note: The hypothesis that f

is continuous is merely to ensure that the function

xf

(x) is integrable and that f is dened everywhere.) First, recall from the fundamental the-
orem of calculus that

integrals. Let

Then
